Nice one. 👍

The youngest driver of the Series, 20 year old Dubai based Christopher Zoechling said, “The car was great with lots of performance and torque. It takes a lot of experience to control a car of that weight and understeer. I’m looking forward to being able to go up against some of the greats from the world of motor sport like Jacques Villeneuve, Johnny Herbert and Jean Alesi.

Very nice Chris, I'm impressed best of luck, I'll keep track of the series from now on :)

I'm upto a total of 4 or 5 racing drivers I talk to via internet now :lol:
 
nice job man. any one know where i can watch these races online (living in the US i doubt i will get any coverage of them on TV). would be good to have some racing to watch to pass the winter months of no racing on TV to watch.
 
Good luck in the race, Chris and good luck for the rest of the season. 👍
 
Hey guys,

OMG what a race. I qualified 3rd and after the start of the race i was in first but then liuzzi caught me again and i stayed 2nd. johannsson flipped his car so we had yellow flag. at the restart of the race morbidelli was battleing me until he pushed me out, joined the race again on 8th, went forward to 6th, until marchy Lee pushed me out and that cause my tire to burst at the back straight of the dubai autodrome at 255km/h.
I had to enter the pits , get a new tire and went back out and finished 11th.

And that means for tomorrow's race i will start 11th aswell. I'll write again after the race is done.

Thanks to all!

on http://www.speedcarseries.com you can find all the race and quali reports!

@GTP, how about someone sends me a nice GTP Logo and i'll stick that on my helmet ;)

Chris
 
Best of luck tommorow, your report sounds like something someone would post after a race on an F1 game :lol:

Hahaha, I was thinking that as well. That GTPlanet logo sounds like a good idea, how about a big one running down the side of the car. :sly: Good luck in the next race. 👍

Is there any particular style or size that you're looking for? Do you want just the globe logo or the globe and text together?

And did you get in touch with Jordan about this as well?:)
 
Wow, thats you? Great job 👍 I remember first hearing about this series, but I didn't know you were in it.
 
I saw the results. Hope you have a better run tomorrow. 👍
 
i got a question for you chris. since all these cars are identical and such how much money do the teams really spend during the season?
 
OK guys, i'm back home and guess what!!!!!?????? The 2nd race day got cancelled cause it was raining overnight so much, that the track and access to the track were fludded. So nothing happened today other then a press conference regarding the canceled race event.

Sorry, for today i can't provide you guys with an F1 game sounding like race report ;)

@GTP, if GTP - Jordan is willing to put a GTP Logo a side of the car, thats possible but only in regard of sponsor money coming in from GTP or whoever.

For the helmet thats not problem, if you could send me a few logos i can decide which one suits my helmet (Color, style, etc)

Thanks and like before, the full weather story is able to be found on http://www.speedcarseries.com

@NapoleonMikey- : The season costs 300.000 USD.



Regards

Chris
 
Flooded because of rain. Send it over to me, we're still waiting for the first rain of the year..

Awesome to hear a Planeteer participating. Hope you get more luck next time. 👍

I'm running a little behind on this - my apologies. Just sent a PM your way. :)
 
Heh, you just beat Stefan Johansson, former McLaren and Ferrari F1 driver, and raced against a couple of really good former F1 aces.

And when I mean "heh", I mean: "OMFG!"
 
Wow, that's great, i'm extremely jealous!

Against seven former F1 drivers and you are still up there at the sharp end 👍

Good luck with the rest of the season.
 
hey everyone, thanks. ya the guys are really great. Tonio Liuzzi is one crazy guy and super cool to hang out with him, alesi also very nice like everyone.

Next Round will be in Jan at Bahrain. Let's hope the rain wont leave us a flooded track.

Chris

Congrats Chris! An awesome result!
 
Great result mate, well done 👍
 
Very nicely done Chris. 👍
 
nicely done man congrats on the pole and the 2nd place win.
 
Excellent! And it wasn't a fluke, sounds like you pushed Alesi all the way! Good luck for race 2 👍
 
Fantastic job, Chris! Good luck for the rest of the series. 👍
 
Nice going, good luck 👍
 
Well done Chris! That's proper-good. Not just "yeah, well done", but really serious slap on the back stuff.
 
That's some top stuff, Chris. These are some of the best drivers on the planet, and you're fighting at the very top! 👍

If I may ask for help, GTPlaneteers - I've started working on a Wiki article on Chris a while ago, and would appreciate any help I can get - especially wording and the likes.
