At 01 march we raced on the Westhill International (WE1) circuit with the FXR.
A Fast circuit with a stable car as the FXR is a 4 wheel powered car.

Only thing you need to take car of were the tyres..
Not a lot of racers.. Guess the fever still was on the hunt ?
Would also be nice to have more racers online during practice. Now we often see racers come online only for the race and disappear as soon the race is over.. coming online during the practice, giving advice, sharing setups would help the others to improve and turn the official race into more fun.

Can [WCL] J. Katila extend his race wins was the main question.
At first we thought he would.. Until he started chating before the race was over... 

As told Salatoimic had no time left to continue the admin role and Harabla joined the admin team. Harabla loved the long race reports we had some years ago so he blowed back to live.. Have fun reading them !!

Qualify:

No incidents or crossing the pit exit line

01 - [WCL] J.Katila (1:31:14)

03 - 13-Veijalainen
04 - Xtian
05 - Jancis
06 - SLO Knuckels
07 - Pink! Harabla

Race 01 - 10 Laps :

Turn 1: 13-Veijalainen manages to get a better start and overtakes [WCL] J.A.Katila before the first corner. Xtian on the other hand gets a horrid getaway and falls to 7th place.
Turn 4: [WCL] J.A.Katila is overtaken on the outside by Harabla, cars slightly touch on the way out, good close racing.
End of lap 1: Normal racing is presumed with [WCL] J.Katila opening a commanding lead of 2 seconds, whilst places 2-5 are all within 2 seconds of each other.
3:24:70: 13-Veijalainen has a bad entry into the final corner, compromising his exit and dives into the pits.
4:59:82 Race leader [WCL] J.Katila takes his mandatory pit stop and drops to 5th place, 4.4 seconds behind 4th place SLO Knuckels
6:13.93: Jancis outbrakes himself with overheating tyres into turn 9, sliding onto the gravel and losing 2 places in the process. Minor contact is also made on rejoining the track with [WCL] J.Katila. Deemed racing incident as contact is only minor; but reminded to be careful on rejoining the track.
7.12.66: Half race distance update. In the lead currently Harabla with a 3.28 second advantage over [WCL] J.A.Katila. Then there is a further 13 second gap to the championship leader [WCL] J.Katila, with SLO_Knuckles trailing right behind him. As the two leaders must still pit, it’s anyone’s race at this point.
8.07.46: J.A.Katila dives into the pits from 2nd place, and rejoins behind 13-Veijalainen who has already made his pitstop.
11:10:93: Leader Harabla makes his mandatory pit stop with a 16 second lead over J.Katila. This difference is not enough and therefore J.Katila takes the lead with 2.4 seconds.
13:05:57: The WCL team along with Jancis are really struggling to keep their front right tyre in check. Overheating is costing a lot of time and enabling Harabla to close up to the lead, and Veijalainen to secure 3rd from J.A.Katila
14:09:87 J.Katila makes a mistake out of turn 10, giving Harabla a chance to close up on the straight. Harabla takes onto the grass to try to pass while the cars scrub together. This mistake leads into a change in the lead whilst we turn onto the start-finish straight to start the final lap.
14:30:95: As the race enters its final lap J.Katila gets a drag from Harabla and takes to the inside for the first corner. This forces Harabla to back off the gas and J.Katila regains the lead.
15:18:27: Whilst defending his position J.Katila brakes early into the fast chicane, causing Harabla to run into the back of his car. This causes both cars to run wide with Harabla running through the tyre wall, giving Katila a 1 second advantage. This seals the deal and the two leaders cross the line with 0.35 seconds between them.

@17:01.26 : J.Katila chat (5 seconds penalty)
17:05.67 : J.Katila chat (5 seconds penalty)
17:24.20 : J.A.Katila chat (5 seconds penalty)

PLEASE REMEMBER: Respect other racers. You may have finished your race but if others are still running, please stay off the chat. This rule has been repeated multiple times leading to no reason for it to happen with our seasoned racers.
