Belgium GP - Spa-Francorchamps (Sunday, september 23rd, 2012) – Race Report, by Sexy Brigadeiro & pictures by Arek
For ALL the pointers and Championship standings, just take a look below!!!
Only 15 drivers this time... But still it was a race full of action!
We had lots of crashes (mostly caused by some tricky spots on the track), some race incidents (what's new?), famous pop stars (just like real F1... but no Kate Perry this time - sorry!) and even a guy getting his 1st victory EVAH in the rFR League!...
Just relax, grab some popcorn and enjoy the 'slide show' of the race - captions 90% by Arek and 10% by me (Sexy) - jah, the most silly and shitty parts are mine - so what?! Didn't like them?! SUE ME!!!
P.S. Talk to my lawyer. His name is Chuck Norris - just sayin'...
FULL RESULTS
Lap 1 - Start! Justin Bieber (Grisu) on pole position! (I can't hear the car engines, because I can olny hear some hysterical 13 year old girls screaming... - SHUT UP!!! Damn it!...)
Lap 1 - First turn: Grisu saves his position. Soutie is still the 2nd.
Lap 1 - Pedal to the metal through Eau Rouge!
Lap 1 - Denis makes a mistake there and crashes his front wing...
Lap 1 - Hard fight for 4th place between the two McLarens and Luft_inspektor, right in front of Adrian S Shole.
Lap 1 - Adrian takes his chance after the mistakes from his rivals and gets the 5th place!
Lap 1 - Very optimistic overtaking maneuver by Backmarker (I guess missing a braking point) He had luck avoiding a crash - maybe because there were very experienced drivers around him... (except for the guy who originally wrote this caption...)
Lap 1 - A while later, Arek tries his revenge over him!
Lap 1 - But Backmarker takes a little bit too much curb at the exit of the corner and spins...
Lap 1 - Deadfish leaves the track...
Lap 1 - RaikkO tries to pass Soutie, but runs wide missing the chicane...
Lap 2 - Joe passes raikkO and is up to 3rd, but he gets overtaken back on Kemmel straight - that's racing...
Lap 3 - Soutie makes a mistake at Eau Rouge dropping down to 5th place...
Lap 3 - Arek has a knight fight vs Bober! Only for 11th place, but a lot of fun anyway!
Lap 3 - Fight between Alex Hill and Sven (for 7th place) ends up very bad for the German driver because of Alex's mistake...
Lap 3 - Adrian makes a mistake losing his place for soutie and Luft...
Lap 3 - Deadfish gets an advantage: other guys has to struggle to pass Sven who is also struggling against his own car without its front wing - and Dead almost passes Arek in battle for 11th too!
Lap 4 - Another problem at Eau Rouge for Soutie but Luft has a bigger one crashing his front wing...
Lap 4 - Hard fight for the 5th place between Adrian and Alex. China Boy goes wide and Blackfox passes him after that!
(P.S. Is that Adrian's right front wheel, or Alex's left rear one?! )
Lap 4 - Bober and Arek, side by side through the fastest corner of the track! Fight for the 9th place!
Lap 6 - At the end of the lap we got a fight between two unlucky fellows: Luft passes Sven in fight for 12th...
Lap 7 - RaikkO attacks Grisu for the lead but Justin saves his place and says: Oh, baby, baby, baby!!!...
Lap 7 - But on Kemmel, raikkO passes Grisu and takes the lead, by saying: baby, baby, my romanian ass, BITCH!!!...
(jah, that's what I heard on his team's radio - I swear it's true!... )
Lap 8 - The 3rd and the last mistake in Eau Rouge for Soutie... - at least he was the 1st... one to take the flight to Monza!...
Lap 8 - Alex Hill overtakes Arnoldunhu in battle for 6th!
Lap 9 - Arek (finally) passes Bober and is up to 8th - keeping alive the proof that noobs are usually lucky too... - just sayin'...
Lap 10 - Adrian S Shole (4th) in the pits - he ordered some Chicken McNuggets, with fries, a cheeseburger and some Foster's Beer to wash it all down...
Lap 10 - Alex Hill in the pits (pause to some Ramen and then Arnie takes his place back for a while...)
Lap 11 - Black (4th) goes out and Arnie comes in, pretty smart!
Lap 12 - RaikkO has a very long pit stop (the pizza he ordered was still in the freezer) and loses his 1st place for Grisu, who can make, eat and even throw up a cake pretty fast!
Lap 12 - Race order after the pit stops: Grisu, Raikko, Joe, Adrian and everyone else... - Everybody is chasing Bieber!...
Lap 12 - Luft_inspektor (11th) crashes into the wall and his race is over.
Lap 13 - Blackfox is 5th and Alex Hill is 6th.
Lap 14 - RaikkO easily passes Grisu at Kemmel, taking the lead again!
Lap 15 - Bober catches a bit of grass in the braking zone and smashes his wing on the wall, ending up his race too...
Lap 16 - Alex Hill still follows Blackfox...
Lap 16 - And then... the same situation as between Alex and Sven happens again...
Lap 16 - Black has to change the wing, losing a chance for the 5th place... And the Stewards will have some homework to do...
Lap 17 - Deadfish is still in the race, on the last place (11th), but still with chances for a point if he gets to 10th!
Lap 19 - El Muchacho Suave also overtakes Grisu at the Kemel straight and takes the 2nd place!
'Oh, beybe, beybe, beybe - mira, la cucaraaaaaaaacha!!!'
Lap 19 - Backmarker (10th) goes up through the Eau Rouge - VRRROOOMMM!!!
Lap 20 - Sven (8th).
(jah, Arek didn't have much to say)
Lap 22 (LAST LAP) - Adrian (4th) chases Grisu - he is also a HUGE Bieber fan and just wants an autograph... on his underwear...
(jah, people at Australia can be pretty weird sometimes... Don't judge!)
Lap 22 (LAST LAP) - RaikkO wins the Belgium GP, which is also his FIRST WIN in the rFR League - well done, mate!!!
Lap 22 (LAST LAP) - AYE, CARAMBA!!! Spicing up the podium, Joe McLaggen finishes in 2nd place!
Lap 22 (LAST LAP) - ...and Adrian didn't get his autograph! Bieber saves his ass (for now)... Grisu takes the 3rd place and will probably annoy the other 2 guys in the podium - whether by singing 'Oh, baby, baby, baby!', or just by throwing up...
