Bad luck at Rouen-Les Essarts

Posted by Andreas Hultgren on TBR|

It all looked so good but got turned around quickly as the team looked to conintue it’s success from the previous round at Le Mans. The Simracing Team Challenge headed to Rouen Les-Essarts for the fith round of the Black Cup and Gregory Degreef and Mehmet Arlsan were behind the teams Ferraris.

Degreef qualifyed in a fine 7th and soon found him self in 4th after some accidents infront of him. He stayed in 4th the first 35 minutes untill he made a mistake that made him lose his front splitter. At the time it didn’t look as though he’d lose much time as he was inside the pit window. He pitted the same lap but from here everything went wrong. The car did not get fixed which resulted in another pitstop the lap after. Then while lapping a car there were some misunderstandings while the lapped car was going into the pits. Degreef hit the car as he was making his passing move and unfortunatly the hit was too severe to be able to continue the race.

Arslan had a tough race aswell. He started down in 16th and it was far from a Sunday drive for him. After getting a puncture he was going into the pits but came in a bit to fast and hit the pitwall. He was then partly stationary on the track and got hit by one of the other drivers. Despite all his problems, driving most part of the race without a front splitter, he still manage to finish the race and he did so in 13th.
