Aha! Now it makes sense why Yves just let me past to take the class lead, i geuss he didnt want to risk the championship?

But hey, can't say no to my first win

Hi,hi, je croyais que tu roulais avec une class A

Mais Bravo Dylan, mes pneus n'auraient pas supporter de me bagarrer avec toi !

A ce propos, je suis plutôt content de ma saison, non seulement parce que j'avais délibérément de ne pas choisir la dernière version de la Mazda (la 737), mais celle de la saison d'avant (la 727).
De plus, je ne sais pas si c'est le cas des autres class B, mais je n'avais à ma disposition que des pneus de qualif, ou des pneus durs, mais pas de soft. Il a fallu gérer la saison en essayant d'être le plus rapide en pneus de qualifs aux essais et le plus "gestionnaire" en course avec les durs et parfois les qualifs (c'est passé ce soir, mais c'était plus que juste !). Ça a marché, c'est cool, mais les dernières courses étaient un peu stressantes (le bazar au premier virage   ) !

Enfin, si j'ai gagné le "scratch", il ne représente rien à mon sens.
En class A, Ray a autant gagné le champ que moi en class B. Les voitures ne sont pas les mêmes, les adversaires ne sont pas les mêmes, nous ne sommes jamais bagarrés durant la saison, alors...
Bravo Ray pour ton titre en Class B. !

I didn't think that I would be on pole here but it turned out that my car was quick here.
I knew that trying to keep the speed low at the start would allow others to get the jump on me but I managed to get back to second and follow Ray for a lap or two until he spun in the chicane. I then thought that I would push on and try to get a gap to the rest of the field but after a lap or so I spun at Club. Then while trying to get back to the sharp end I got some damage from a couple of incidents (no problem Juha, it happens in racing). The damage then made tyre wear worse and I limped around in fourth place until Ray's disco and then finished 3rd.
Congrats Jacob.

Well done Yves on the championship.

The 727C has a little less downforce than the 737C, and the brakes heat up a bit more, but its lighter and it has a shorter wheelbase

Effectivement, Richard, j'ai pas vu de grandes différences entre les deux

Congrats Jacob to the victory.

My race was ended at the first corner. A small bump from Yves resultet in a spin for me and creating a big mayhem in the middle of the field.

Race wasn't great after repairs, too. Car was ugly on the brakes again.

Glad that season is over, never had such an inconsistent car before.

Thanks to the admins, had a lot of fun in this championship, sadly i also had a lot of frustration, too.

See you guys.

Damn it, I lost the race sorry all

Yes (a little!) but NO when you see my last lap with a great battle with Philippe, fun, fun, fun !

Thanks for a good organized series
It did not go so well for me, but it was fun.
I look forward to BTCC, and waiting and getting tested modder

How i made it from P15 to P4 in three laps after 15 mins of training is a mystery to me What surprised me even more is that i could hold the allmighty Jacob behind my back for a while. Then i had a small contact with Juha which sent me to the wall, game over. But those few laps were fun

I'm really, really terribly sorry to have to say it at the season's end, but I can't do a broadcast of the race today because I have a History exam tomorrow and I have to study for it.
Anyways, good luck everyone!

Maaan, history is history. Tell your teacher you have to look to the future!

Well, it was a really nice championship to cover on YouTube, I was really enjoying the races and I hope my poor commentating skills were entertaining for you Also, congratulations for Yves on the championship and I'm looking forward to Group C racing in 2017!
