LAP #1:
From the shadows of Mount Fuji, it's lights out at Fuji Speedway.
@Bologna_Duc gets a good start and will take space away from
@bublyman.
@llNovall's Viper also got off the line very quickly. It's a drag race for the entire field to Turn 1.
LAP #1:
The smaller grid meant that cars had much more room early on and everybody got away cleanly.
@Bologna_Duc leads the field through the technical 3rd sector for the first time.
LAP #2:
There's a few bollards will be getting a lot of abuse in this event, but not on this occasion.
@cesarr64 (running 8th) shows it respect and give it a break and gives it plenty of space on Lap #2.
LAP #3:
The train of cars was long and compact for the opening laps.
@DRD_Niagara was feeling pressure from the cars behind him but the train got a little shorter when
@cesarr64 and
@ThOrangeGoats missed their breaking points and went too deep at Turn 1 of Lap #3.
@JakeMk8 would gain two positions and improve from 10th to 8th.
LAP #5:
@Bologna_Duc still leads
@llNovall at the front. But the battle for 3rd is tight. It was held by
@Kgffy but he came out of Turn 1 a little loose and that was enough for
@bublyman to claim the spot.
LAP #8:
Real tight and clean racing between
@Kgffy,
@DRD_Niagara and
@Yugofan, running 4th through 6th at the Dunlop Turn 10.
LAP #9:
At the mid-point of the race, it's still
@Bologna_Duc who leads and he's got a few seconds on 2nd place
@llNovall.
@bublyman still in 3rd.
LAP #12:
These American cars were monsters on the straight at Fuji. Even teamwork between
@bublyman and
@Kgffy isn't enough to reel in
@llNovall's Viper.
LAP #14:
@Bologna_Duc running away with this one. He's pictured to the right of the Audi sign in the distance. However there's lots of action just behind him.
@Kgffy managed to briefly get ahead of
@bublyman on the preceding straight but went slightly too deep into Turn 1 which gave the position back to
@bublyman and allowed
@DRD_Niagara through as well.
LAP #15:
@bublyman was dialing up the pressure on
@llNovall for extended periods of time but just couldn't get by him. But
@bublyman exit at Turn 15 would prove costly and he'd drop some positions. A further
@bublyman error between Turns 3 and 4 on the following lap would cost him again and he'd drop down to 8th.
LAP #19:
@Bologna_Duc was too much in this one. His Pole Position helps him to his first win of the season. He's free and clear of the rest of the field by 5+ seconds.
@llNovall and
@DRD_Niagara will stand next to him on the podium.
@Bologna_Duc lays it on extra thick in this one by also posting the Fastest Lap of the race with a 1:37.968
