Thursday 12th September 2013: United States GP - Indianapolis
Below is the highlight's video of Jim's race
The racing day started with a lot of anxiety for Jim as he was experiencing some technical issues with his pc. His rFactor kept crashing. Up until Qualifying he was not able to solve the problem so when the race was to start he just wished to finish his race. The Q session was not very good as he was not able to make a clean lap, so he started 3rd. His start was not as expected as he lost 2 positions and one more after the first lap. However, he was able to gain his 3rd position back, before his first pit stop, even though the other drivers had more top speed. After his pit stop he managed to gain the second position, having now his teammate in front of him by 6 seconds. Jim was trying to gather the lost seconds. However, what "benefited" him was the fact that both Jim and Petter, his teammate, had to deal with the backmakers, as a result the gap dropped down to 2 seconds. After that Jim and Petter had to do their last pit stop changing to primes. That offered Jim the pace he wanted and needed to win. The final 8 laps was when the battle between the 2 TMo cars started. In the final lap Jim overtook his teammate and WON (again) the race.
Third time in a row? Well, well, well... You are indeed on fire!!
