LFR DTM Series Review
Congratulations to Cleisson Cordero, LFR DTM Series Champion. An up-then-down series for myself, taking 7th in the final standings. After a terrible opening round in Nurburgring, I hit a streak of podiums, moving up to the 2nd place in the standings at that time. And then another bad race at Adria (a track I had never run on before), followed by the big brain fart in Zandvoort (lost the points due to the penalty), which caused me to do a voluntary race ban in Red Bull Ring = 0 points for the next three rounds. I had good pace and was looking at another podium in the series finale at Hockenheim until I botched the pitstop, hitting the pit call button instead of the pit speed limiter button; I had to do a stop-and-go penalty for speeding in the pits. (I have re-assigned the buttons on my controller since then.) I fell down the order and had to fight back to get 10th place and the final point of the series.
Still, it was great fun to be fighting at the front of a big grid. We had 20 or more drivers at every round, my first time to experience this even though I have been sim racing for many years now. So I hope to continue at LFR League, even if it is mostly a Spanish speaking group of drivers and I feel a bit left out of the chatter.
