Hockenheim GP

GASCAR raced at Hockenheim Friday night to complete the German leg of the series.

It was decided that the winner of the pole would get a point and then the field would be inverted. Of course Instink won that.

When the race started Recent started out front. Ford slowly made his made the field and also to the front. DJ made is where there also followed by Instink coming through the field. In the first laps Top was collected by somebody (probably Instink) and wasn't able to put up a fight. A few laps into the race Viking slightly bumped Instink going into a corner, Instink decided to reply with a violent pit maneuver that sent Viking backing into the wall. The race continued with a rather spirited fight at the front between the first handful or cars as everyone else ran laps.

As the race wound down, DJ was in front attempting to make the race without a pit stop. He was unable to do so though falling behind Ford with a few laps to go. Recent held third. Instink in fourth was putting Viking a lap down when he made a hard right on the straight away putting them both into the wall. Instink couldn't take his own medicine. The front four finished as said above with the rest of the field as follows:
  1. Ford*
  2. DJ*
  3. Recent*
  4. Instink**
  5. Top
  6. Mini
  7. Viking
  8. Proof
  9. Chrisscrossed
  10. Bad

  1. No race videos yet, still waiting to get time to do so. But video of the aforementioned incidents will be up soon.

  2. Is Instink making it difficult to produce videos too?

  4. Top hit me in the first turn so don't be mad at me for that. Additionally the incident with viking started with him bumping me deep into Sachs which allowed him to pass me. Seeing how this was a pass set up by a dirty move, I took my position back.
    On the 30th lap, I was ahead of Recent by a decent margin and I came up along side viking and he puts us both into a wall and tries to draw out a caution (while we are not racing each other as he is a lap down). Then Recent narrowly holds onto his lead over me as he passed me because of viking putting us into a wall and then gets into it with Bad (which I did not encourage).
