The Maserati Trophy...Season 1 over

[Cpt. Disaster]

It was great fun racing the Maserati at Motegi, particularly the first race in which Bo and I were battling for most of it! Race two was different. Bo pulled a clear lead as I was caught up in a couple of incidents on lap one. There was some great racing that followed though, and I was able to make second place for the end of the race.

Well done to Bo for his win in race two. 👍


Pictures from both races:

 

[Goodwolf]

Thank you mate! Great pics!

 

[Cobani]

Yeah, your pictures always brings a smile on my face. Topnotch as ever.

Race 1 was a gem, Gary. Thankyou.

Here are the results. Points were given the same as in the previous race because of small number of drivers participating.

Congrats to Gary for taking the lead from Cobani.
It was really great to see Cobani and you fight for it. 👍

Great, don't worry about it.
I'll be online tomorrow, same time.

 

[Cobani]

I will not be able to make practice tonight.

I can't wait for tomorrow, as I plan to give Gary some sweaty palms during the race. Two points is not enough to relax.

Enjoy tonight's partying Bo, but don't be hungover for the racing.

 

[Goodwolf]

During practice we had guests and I hope they will all race on Sunday to make this event really special. Cpt. Disaster was really on it and is showing that he wants to increase the lead on Sunday. Cobani will try to apply the pressure but will it be enough.

[jammyrex]

Hi, is there room for one more on the grid tonight? I enjoyed the last race so much that I'm keen on having another go!

Q1 in 10 minutes

 

[jammyrex]

Great racing tonight guys! I really enjoyed race two!

I was having some good battles mid pack with lots of passing and re-passing, until I overcooked my braking point on lap 9! Oops!

Glad to have some good close battles with Cobani, Goodwolf and weescotsman for a while there

Then some nice dicing with Ade until again I missed my braking point again on lap 17!

All got a bit ragged as the tyres wore out towards the end though with a bit of rubbing and contact with Gary on the last lap...

Great fun though, thanks for the racing!

 

[Goodwolf]

Yeah it was really great. Thank you all for coming. After the final round we have to have season two next year. Maybe even in GT6.

Great racing last night. I had a great battle with Geordie and Goodwolf in race 1, which lasted right to the end, and on very worn tyres. Excellent fun. Race 2 saw me spin out early on after a good start. Spent the first half of the race catching up with GC Gary and Jammyrex, and again a struggle with the tyres towards the end gave us some super close racing. Great fun. 👍👍👍

[Goodwolf]

There is a story in there about these two. When a race finishes like this you know that event and the series is Royal Quality.

 

[Cobani]

Awesome!
