Race REPORT & PICTURES - 13 - Mexico GP (Hermanos Rodríguez)

The truth is that, once again, I don't have much to say about this GP - for personal and obvious reasons.
No need to bla bla bla about all of the shit Michal did to me, Grisu, Sven and even Black... Just two VERY important things:
- For those who don't know, Michal got BANNED from the League - THAT'S what the admins. will do for actions like those, so... please, think twice before acting like idiots in here again...
- I apologize to everyone (especially to Arek) for chatting during the race after I got hit by Michal. I was mad and I actualy wanted to kick/ban him from the server and restart the race, but I held myself not to do that, but still I couldn't hold myself from not saying anything... So, I'm sorry for doing that. I know it's against the rules and it was wrong, no matter how 'unfair' the race was for me. As an admin. I must set a good example to the other drivers and I failed and for that I apologize. I WILL get a penalty (OBVIOUSLY) and I'm ok with that. Still I'm sorry and it won't happen again... also because we already banned Michal... HA!

About the race itself...
It was a very good 'weekend' to soutie! He is definitely 'back' to the League now. He got the pole and also the victory. 26 points in his pocket - just couldn't be better!
Adrian S Shole, the current Championship leader also had a great race. Starting in the very back of the grid, finishing in 2nd place and keeping a comfortable lead on the championship just couldn't be better either!
Also a special congrats to Joe McLaggen, getting a very nice podium at his home GP - tacos & tequila all night long to celebrate - AYE, CARAMBA!

And, once again, for more details, just check Arek's great pictures, because as some people say: images tell more than a thousand words...

'Checkered flag is out and so am I...'

Lap 31 - At the end of the lap, we had a great overtake by raikkO during the battle for 7th place! He made a good use of his fresh tyres passing Denis again, at Peraltada!


Lap 31 - Luft found himself in a bad place behind Sven who was trying to get to the pits to change his broken front wing. There was some contact and Joe takes his chance to pass both of them, taking the 3rd place, making the fans happy, who screamed 'ARRIBA, MUCHACHO - ANDALE, ANDALE, ANDALE!!!'


Lap 32 - Luft wanted 'instant revenge', but only got 'ineffective revenge'...
