Confirm for Fuji
He’s afraid of Aliens !!!! That was yugo running for his life.@Yugofan amazing race on the first one. I really couldn’t pass and you were brillant for the whole 16 laps. You made zero mistake I could capitalize on.
I was running for my life! We paired up on turn 2, lap 1 and you anchored to my back bumper for the next 15.9 laps! I remember taking a deep breath after I built a full :01 gap at one point, which disappeared before I exhaled. I feared I was holding you up so kudos to your car control AND patience. I don’t think we ever touched.Can’t confirm for Fuji as I will be in Greece for two weeks in September. I’ll leave the spot open for someone else and go through qualifying if the date lines up for me.

You were not holding me up at all. It took me all of my concentration to keep up. And I don’t remember making any contact. You took the pressure very well, I’m not sure I would have took it that well. I’m good at putting pressure but less so at taking it. Kudos again !I was running for my life!

Big shoutout to my fellow racers in there. That was a hell of a race right on the edge with clean passing moves. Such a shame that I’ve lost my concentration a fraction of second in the Schumacher esses, that would be an epic finish. Well done @JDMKING13 and @Mac1032763, that was awesome!Honorable mention to @Mac1032763. He's got a high powered car but he shows great patience in his pursuit of @bublyman for 13 laps. Tries and fails to take the position in Lap 9 or 10 but continues to apply pressure and is finally rewarded with a satisfying pass which allows him to claim 3rd place.
- @JDMKING13 - He starts from the 11th spot and makes his way up to the podium's 2nd step all the while engaged with a fierce battle with @bublyman and @Mac1032763.
Same to you man.. you had better pace than me.. I appreciate your race craft… my shirt was completely soaked in the back when I got done thanks for the clean intense race!Big shoutout to my fellow racers in there.

Event #3 / Race #2 Recap
View attachment 1473733
Preamble:
It wasn't until I was well into grabbing my pictures and making my notes that I noticed this race only included 14 drivers as it appears @TexHill dropped off for Race #2.
As per our usual procedures, Race #2 goes off with the grid set in reverse order. This means that the front row is now occupied by @cesarr64 and @Noob01_lmdead. The second row will have the husband/wife combo of @DublDee and @CdnSweetTee. @Mac1032763 and @bublyman will start on the third row.
Event #3 / Race #2
LAP #1:
@cesarr64 and @Noob01_lmdead lead the grid around Turn 1 which was kept clean by all drivers.

LAP #1 - Lead Change
A really well executed Turn 1 by @Noob01_lmdead allows him to move ahead of @cesarr64 as we head into Turn 2.
A great start by a determined @JDMKING13 who started in 7th place and might have outsmarted the field early on. Whereas most drivers opted for the inside line, naturally congested with drivers wishing to avoid incidents, he takes the wider line with additional speed and gains 3 spots. Heading into Turn 2, he finds himself in 4th spot.

LAP #1:
A really good, high end sequence by @Worst_Driver from the 11th spot entering Turn 10. With the field still bunched together entering the braking zone from the right side of the track, @Worst_Driver sees an opening on the left and out-brakes @CdnSweetTee (with slightly dirty tires) @llNovall and @Yugofan and manages to sneak his car just behind @Bologna_Duc on the exit without leaving a single scratch on any other car.
Hopefully one day, my race-craft will allow for such attempts - LOL

LAP #2:
@cesarr64, running in 2nd would end up sideways between Turns 2 and 3 which allows @JDMKING13 to move into 2nd and @bublyman into 3rd. @cesarr64 would avoid a disaster but the error would drop form from 2nd to 5th.

LAP #2
An incident occurs at the chicane of Lap #2. As traffic is making its way through the chicane, @The_Antman_ car would come into contact with @socalnatv's car which would lead to @socalnatv spinning. @socalnatv would drop towards the back of the field.

LAP #4
Lots of action with this group. Entering Turn 3, @cesarr64 gave a slight push to @Bologna_Duc who shows great control to avoid disaster and quickly gets himself back in the action while giving visibility issues to the cars behind him.

LAP #7:
By Lap #7, @Noob01_lmdead has built a nice lead for himself but it's @JDMKING13, @bublyman and @Mac1032763 who seem to be having fun out of the 2-3-4 spots. @llNovall is just behind them and rounds out the current top 5.
View attachment 1473748
LAP #7:
Just a little further back, @Worst_Driver spins coming out of Turn 4. He'd drop from 9th to 13th but mechanical issues would lead him to retire a few turns later. A huge blow to the WKM Racing Team.

LAP #9:
The field is a little more spread out than in the 1st race. @Noob01_lmdead's car is visible at the top. @JDMKING13, @bublyman and @Mac1032763 are still hanging out together just ahead of @llNovall. @Bologna_Duc and @The_Antman_, in 6th and 7th are getting on their brakes entering the hairpin.

LAP #12:
A couple laps ago, @Mac1032763 made a strong attempt on @bublyman but it was well defended and with the benefit of the inside line, @bublyman managed to conserve his spot. Picture here is @bublyman with a strong attempt on @JDMKING13 but it is also well defended and with the help of the inside line, @JDMKING13 managed to hold onto the 2nd position.
In the background, we can see that @llNovall has been replaced by @Bologna_Duc.

LAP #13:
@Mac1032763 finally gets his man. He's been staring at the back of @bublyman's car since Lap #1 and has patiently waited for the opportunity to present itself to take the position. On the straight of Lap #13, his patience is rewarded.
View attachment 1473759
LAP #13:
Several unforced errors in this one and unfortunately, it's @bublyman's turn who goes out a little wide in the twisty section of Turns 8 and 9. He'd drop from 4th to 9th.
View attachment 1473760
LAP #15:
With a little more than 1 lap to go, spots on the podium are still up for grabs and not much separates positions 2 through position 6.
View attachment 1473761
LAP #16:
@Noob01_lmdead captures his first checkered flag of the season. He uses a favorable starting grid spot to run a mistake free run to give himself a win with a comfortable 9.7 second win.
@JDMKING13 and @Mac1032763 will join @Noob01_lmdead on the podium.

The @The_Antman_ would once again log the race's Fastest Lap (his 5th such award in 6 races) with a time of 2:00.162. He edges out @socalnatv's 2:00.221 and @Bologna_Duc's 2:00.328.

Driver of the Race Award:
As I review the replay a few times to pull pictures and to record the broadcast, things stand out to me so I give a shout-out to the following drivers for their performance in Event #3 / Race #2:
Honorable mention to @Mac1032763. He's got a high powered car but he shows great patience in his pursuit of @bublyman for 13 laps. Tries and fails to take the position in Lap 9 or 10 but continues to apply pressure and is finally rewarded with a satisfying pass which allows him to claim 3rd place.
- @JDMKING13 - He starts from the 11th spot and makes his way up to the podium's 2nd step all the while engaged with a fierce battle with @bublyman and @Mac1032763.
Final Thoughts:
That's how I interpreted Event #3 / Race #2.
- Man I wish I didn't have to miss this event. I used to hate Nurburgring but its grown on me and I like seeing it on the schedule. Despite few lead changes over the 2 Races, I believe this track offers a little bit of everything.
- That's it for the European leg of the season. The cars and equipment will be shipped to Japan for the the next three events before coming back to the States for the last three legs. (C'mon Kaz/PD, I know you're not reading these Race Recaps but please give us Circuit Gilles Villeneuve so @llNovall can take the series to Canada one day!!)
- Get yourselves on the active driver list for Snail's Sunday Night Spec League. Either part-time or full-time, a little of you is better than none of you.
