Good luck to all the German contestants Go Zocker!

 

[PrudentBear]

I'm watching the blog in German as I can't get an English translated one working. From what I can gather they've just started the first race of the semis which I think is having to be restarted? No idea what's going on but it's exciting anyway!

Oh and very well done to Dan and Tizzlaa - impressive stuff.

 

[IsmokeGT]

Now I sit here waiting to find out how my friend Bruno has done in Portugal. I'm surprised that no-one has communicated to anywhere yet ?

You two aren't alone! If there is anyone deserving of a shot at the GT Academy, it is MeAgainstYou. Lets wait optimisticly.

Its getting late....

Here are some pics I found from the german final.

Not much but its something until we get some vids or higher quality pics

 

[Gaviao_pt]

The driver Hunter_4_6 won the portuguese final.
He did a very good and clean race.

Meagainstyou was taken out at the first corner and then was unable to recover. It's very unfortunate because he was clearly the fastest driver there. Too bad the judges didn't restart the race 👎

The final was well organised but was a long grueling event, almost 8 hours in total

I'm trying to upload a video of the final race to youtube, when and if I manage I'll post the link

 

[Timppaq]

Sorry to hear that... it would be nice to see a vid from those situations, even if it doesn't change anything

that's so unfortunate ...just goes to show that on the day it's as much about luck as skill.

looking forward to the vid

That's a crock of ****t! 👎 It would sure be nice if the organizers could pull their head's out of their you know whats in such situations!

Poor Bruno

 

[IsmokeGT]

What f'ing rubbish.
PD sucks.

 

[davissi]

Well that pretty much rubbishes the whole competition then. I think they should've raced annonymously, it almost cost Dan Holland and its cost Bruno. I'm wondering if you're that good you just end up being a target.

How did it almost cost Dan Holland??

Bad news. MAY deserved to go to Silverstone since the first day of the time trial

Too bad by the judges 👎

 

[davissi]

How did it almost cost Dan Holland??

Well everyone was expecting him to win before they even went there, his reputation preceded him and I noticed at one point he was bumped right down to 4th from 1st in the final whilst minding his own business exiting turn 1.
He was the biggest threat so therefore the most likely to get crashed into.

 

[Timppaq]

No one deserves the the right to go to Silverstone until the final, but if there is punting etc., whatever.. those should be dealed with care & caution. (!!)

But for sure.. may had the potential to take the win from Portugal. No question about it. Sorry may to hear this.. I know you waited a long time to get this chance.
