Race 12 - Portugal - Estoril

After the Podium finish in Netherlands, the 'We Drive on Heineken' Team went into the Portugese GP with full of enthusiasm and confidence. But as usual the economy was preventing us from doing anything brilliant. We had Unrepaired Cars which came in at 11th and 17th positions. Results wise it was not so good but it gave the team some money to prepare for the next races.

The Title fight in c1 is becoming more close than ever. Kostya, seemingly with a favourite track won the race though he was not on Pole. RCdaDood went for money and risk which gave him the 1M pole but not the Big Points. He suffered heavy traffic after his first round of pitstops which ruled out his chance of finishing ahead of his rival Vlad. Vlad came 2nd holding off another (possible) favourite track Jonny behind him. RC finished 4th. Woodi was running for the Podium and even held back Vlad for some laps to RC's relief. But he had an Engine Explosion which saw him finish in 25th position. Eld was not running fully repaired and he finished a disappointing 20th position.
The Current Standings look like this
1. R.Coutinho* 69
2. V.Islentiev*** 61
3. J.Sjöblom* 58
4. K.Sedov** 54
As we see, all are STAR'd managers who can pull out some surprises.

C2G1 was won by Arus followed by Vaidas. S Timoshenko continued his good run with a Podium Spot. DC leader Osterloh could manage only a 5th position.The Group once again saw some able managers not racing (thus helping my cause in terms of money )
