And we were back at it last weekend for the 3rd round of the Los Santos Customs Übermacht Touring Car Championship. And what a weekend it was! This time, I was replacing our main driver Sarah Wilmott, racing along our junior driver Kasey Tsuchiya.
After grabbing the Pole Position in the Qualifying, I had a difficult start of the Sprint Race, losing the first place in the first few corners. But I was able to get it back before the end of the first lap and after that it was just a question of keeping a good pace to snatch my first victory in this series!
After the Sprint Race, it was time for the main event, the Feature Race where I had, again, a difficult start. But once again, after a little bit of pushing and shoving with my opponents, I was able to get out of the first lap ahead of them. Building a decent gap after the first few laps, I saw all of that disappeared after a red flag who bring us back into the pits. This time, the restart went very well and I was once again able to build up a gap with my opponent. Two-third of the race was done when another red flag came after a violent crash. Due to the severity of the accident and the fact that the driver was in need of emergency care, it was decided to finish the race with twenty of the thirty laps done. As I'm writing those words, I can assure you that the driver didn't had any life-threatening injuries and they are on the way of recovery.
Obviously, we never want to see this happen and it kinda put a cloud over my second win of the day, but that also remind us that we are doing a very dangerous job, even if we are all passionate about it, the risks are always there.
In the end, I couldn't asked for a better weekend on my part, pole position, two wins, all the points available. BRAMAR at the top like always! I would also like to congratulate my teammate, Kasey, who performed very well in the Feature Race and was able to grab his best finishing position so far with a 6th place. He's improving at every race and there is no doubt he will keep getting better and better.
We'll now see what the future hold with the 4th round incoming, stay tuned!
