Range Anxiety

 


Racin Nexus DTM Series - Post Season Review

Full results here.

I had a very tough time in this series, I never did get a hold of the car and couldn't find a good base setup. I also had connection problems, resulting in 4 DNFs late in the series. But somehow I finished third overall in the standings, mostly because some drivers abandoned their campaign and the fastest guy, league owner Djuricic Dragan, decided to not score any more points for the second half of the season. I did get 3 pole positions and 2 podiums so it wasn't all bad.

Certainly a great learning experience, not liking the car but somehow running in the sharper end of the grid. A nice confidence booster as we prepare for the big F1 series next year. Congratulations to Djordje Kovacevic, RN DTM Series champion. He wasn't the fastest, but he did well in all the races and took 3 wins in the latter half of the series. Stefano Colleta won 4 of the first 6 rounds, but abandoned the second half. His early domination was enough for him to hold on to 2nd place overall. 

The rest of the grid had an intermittent attendance. A shame really, as we had 33 drivers registered initially, but during the races we mostly had a grid of 10 or less. I can only think that the poor attendance rate was because the car was difficult to drive.
