VOWS Season 5 Midseason Report
We've reached the halfway point of VOWS Season 5 and I currently hold 9th position in the standings. I started the season started well enough with 6th place in Australia. However, I followed it up with two consecutive DNFs, due to disconnection, and that put a damper on my campaign. I did alright in the next three races and scored points.
I probably would have scored on those races where I got disco'ed, but even with those points I don't think I would have placed higher than seventh in the standings. I just don't have the pace to fight with the fast guys, and they are all ahead of me in the championship table. I can safely say I am fastest of the midfield and my current position is what I deserve.
I have to work on my starts. Every race so far I have not started very well, dropping to the back then having to fight my way back to where I started. We run the formation lap at VOWS, and I am too nervous to weave left and right to keep the tires warm. The launch control is a safe option but it is slow compared to launching manually. Just need to practice this phase of the race more than I usually do I guess. It is just so scary to be aggressive when the everyone is so close together.
As for the Team Championship, we are so far in 5th place, with me scoring all the points. Juris doesn't seem to practice as much I do, and usually shows up on race day looking to use my setup. Maybe he is busy with other things. No problem for me really, but if he could score points we could maybe challenge for 4th position.
