F1Time - S21 - Race12 - MagnyCours, France

Pijus Jerusevicius was the talk of the town during last race. Starting in c5, he managed to get to the elite C1 group in just 6 seasons. And the fact that he dominated WU in Magnycours gave him some publicity and elevated him to the public's limelight.
But the race was a different matter. Mebbe Pijus' inexperience showed. He could qualify only 4th on the grid and finished 5th. Eld, Osterloh and HS took the first three positions in the grid and finished too in the same order. Osterloh could have won the race had his tyre lasted for one more lap. The win was snatched by Eld in the very last lap. Yih came fourth and so ensured that the DC lead of HS was kept in check. Though HS has a 12 point Lead over Yih, positions 2-5 are too close that any mistake would be costly.
1.R.Petniunas 61
2.Y.Su 49
3.J.Skog 48
4.J.Sjöblom** 47
5.S.Oneplus* 46

The race in our group also had some dramatic moments. I was the only one who went for 4 stops and thus ran away with the POLE money. But when the race started, the 3 Stops seemed better than 4 Stops. But Gago with Meds was too fast that none of the Soft-runners could match him. He was heading for a Big Win when disaster struck. With just 6 more Laps to go, his Engine Failed and i was given the Lead. That was more than what i expected and i couldnt enjoy the race win. Nezam came second with Christian third. In the end my 4 Stops proved better when the tyre wears caused 3 Stoppers to lose time.
