LAP #1:
It's lights out for the 2nd time of Event #7 in Upstate New York.
@cesarr64 does well getting away quickly and firmly establishes himself in the lead for the sprint towards the Bus-Stop on Lap #1.
LAP #1 - Lead Change
The field is still in tight quarters.
@cesarr64 was a little late on the brakes towards the end of the chute which would allow
@JDMKING13 to emerge from Turn 6 with the lead.
LAP #2:
The Bus-Stop strikes
@Bologna_Duc again. He got onto the grass slightly upon entrance and had a little slide into
@cesarr64. He fights to regain control but can't avoid a spin. He'd drop from 3rd to 11th.
LAP #2:
A few turns later heading towards Turn 6, some chain reaction bumping occurred which would send
@cesarr64 and
@DRD_Niagara deeper than they would have liked. Disaster is avoided but positions were lost.
LAP #2:
@Bologna_Duc very much enjoyed his trip to the Glen last year as part of the 2024 Michelin Pilot Challenge. In 2024, he and his Corvette snagged Pole Position and saw it through to win Race #1. But his 2025 trip Upstate, NY won't leave such positive memories. He'd retire the car early and start packing up the trucks.
LAP #4:
Things are starting to settle in.
@JDMKING13 still leads exiting Turn 7 with
@socalnatv and
@bublyman right on him. Behind them is
@Kgffy and
@Yugofan running 4th and 5th.
LAP #5 - Lead Change:
Heading sown the chute on Lap #5,
@socalnatv touched up
@JDMKING13 which sent him off (in the background).
@socalnatv is pictured doing the honorable thing and waiting for him. Post race chatter chalked up the contact as an unfortunate racing incident between two guys that have been racing together for years.
But as a result,
@bublyman manages to take the leads and
@Kgffy and
@Yugofan find themselves in 3rd and 4th.
@JDMKING13 would retire the car moments later.
Lap #6 - Lead Change:
Ladies and gentlemen, the 2025 Porsche Mobile 1 SuperCup has found it's Lap/Battle of the Season.
@Yugofan had front row seats to the racing display that
@bublyman and
@Kgffy has given us. A small mistake by
@bublyman at the Bus-Stop allowed
@Kgffy to briefly take the lead.
LAP #6 - Lead Change:
@bublyman and
@Kgffy would exchange the lead between them a total of 4 times in this lap. Not all of them are captured in pictures but I tried to do it justice in the broadcast that I provide. The pic below shows
@bublyman emerging from Turn 10 on the inside line to finally ward off
@Kgffy's attack.
LAP #7:
Where one battle ends, another begins.
@DublDee has a good run through the esses and uses the slipstream down the straight to pass
@Yugofan and move into 3rd. Behind them, coming out of the esses is
@Noob01_lmdead,
@llNovall and
@DRD_Niagara running 5th through 7th.
LAP #12:
@DublDee is leaking a little oil.
@Yugofan managed to pass him on Lap #11 to reclaim the 3rd position and a little kiss of the wall would slow him down enough for
@Noob01_lmdead to pass him a few turns later to move into 4th.
@DublDee now in 5th.
LAP #14:
@Kgffy's exit out of Turn 8 was a little squirrelly and he'd slide a bit but manage to catch his car in typical
@Kgffy fashion. But the loss of speed would open the door for
@Yugofan.
@Kgffy, knowing the position was likely lost, thought better than to risk a side-by-side fight into Turn 9 lifted and
@Yugofan gains another position and moves into 2nd place.
LAP #16:
@Yugofan then proceeds to dial up the pressure on
@bublyman for the last two laps, at times being right on his bumper.
LAP #17:
@bublyman manages to hold off
@Yugofan. He's been on the podium four times this season but finally gets to stand on the top step. He'll be joined by
@Yugofan and by
@Noob01_lmdead who managed to get by
@Kgffy a few turns prior to the end of the race.
The Fastest Lap bonus goes to
@socalnatv with a lap time of 1:49.831. He's the only one that got into the 49's in this one.
@DublDee (1:50.013) and
@Kgffy (1:50.071) put down the 2nd and 3rd Fastest Laps.
