Der zweite Tag in Tourlaville Frankreich. Die Strecke hier ist sehr schnell, absolut flach und hat sehr guten Griff. Es ist eine der schönsten Strecke die ich gefahren bin. Denoch hat es einige technisch anspruchsvolle Stellen. Ende der Geraden braucht es viel Vertrauen ins Auto und auch ein bisschen Mut😅
Unsere Big5s liegen super, sind sehr einfach zu fahren und nicht agresiv. Die Fahrwerke konnten viel härter abgestimmt werden als auf anderen Strecken. Auch die Reifen halten problemlos. Bis ist es einfach nur Fun Fun und nochmal Fun
Auch ja.... die Organisation und die ganze Anlage sind top und neu.

What an amazing track and people. When we arrived wednesday we felt very much at home. And were amazed about the track. If somebody had to write a handbook how to build a track this is defenitly the one they have to use for that handbook. Great tarmac, very safe, a lot of run off area. 200% European Championship track.
Thursday practice started, in the morning it was wet, in the afternoon we could start practice. The grip was immedialty there. The car felt really good from the start.
Friday again practice, the grip got even better. We ran PMT X5 tyres al around. The X3 was struggling on the left rear and right front.
Saturday qualifying started, there were 5 runs. Plenty of time to set a good time. We started on 4x X3 because it was very cold. The 2nd heat we uned 4x X5 which resulted in 31 laps. The 3 runs after i tested with diffs.
Sunday i was 2nd in the semi final. Again it was cold so the X5 tyres were struggling in the beginning. Later they got warm and the grip came. Solon was already in front so 2nd place was maximum.
The final i started 3rd, did a better warmup so the tyres worked fine at the start. Giovanni made a small mistake so i could jump to 2nd place. He caught up with me and overtook me. Later he came in contact with Solon so i could overtake them and take the lead.
Solon came closer very slowly bit by bit, i made myself ready for a great fight with him. But 6 minutes before the end my motor gear broke in pieces. So i had to retire.
Still we are happy with the performance of the car. The car was easy to drive in the final and superfast.
Also my Speed Tec engine performed very well.
Thank you Christian and Mathias for a great weekend and evenings, i hope you enjoyed my dinners.
My biggest compliments go to the club in Tourlaville. Perfect organisation, great amazing track and a lot of volentiers. A majority of the clubs in Europe can take an example to the club in Tourlaville.
