Grotti F1 Cluck´in Bell Qualifying Results (updated to main post) fab. ICEMAN claims his second pole position of the season
fab. ICEMAN is starting the Cluck´in Bell race from pole position. With his fastest laptime set in the first session he displaced ovivoJR into second position. He said after the session:" I am very happy about my second pole position. I need to finish infront of ovivoJR tomorrow to keep my championship ambitions alive. It will be a long race."
ovivoJR said: " I am a bit unhappy with my starting position. I was aiming for first or third position. In second place you have no curb boost down the extremly long main straight. So I have to watch Superstepa_ not to overtake me."
Superstepa_ driving for the Auto Exotic team finished the qualifying in third position. Simon the reserve driver for arken starts in 9th position. So arken is currently relying on fab. ICEMAN to win the race to stay in the championship.
A very intresting race is ahead of us with the grid being very close together this time only separated by 1.7 sek. Will the championship be decided tomorrow or will we see the grand finale at the Grotti F1 Flyin High Grand Prix? More answers tomorrow.

Oh god the race. I don't even know how to explain how I feel! So many different things happend in a few minutes. I had a solid third position, and the 6 last laps were so intense and with up and downs. I'm not used to it, so it's my bad at the end, but... I'm not a believer but JESUS§§§1§ After safety car, this happen : Then I got lucky and came first then 2° after a nice overtake of Superstepa_ on the last lap, then 4th after a stupid crash. The full story and video is coming later.

It doesn't matter that I was first for over 49 minutes and lost three positions after I choked and was pushed over the barrier. ( Superstepa_ you did a great race and absolutely deserve that win!) And it doesn't matter that I could have been third, but didn't because I was taken out by Madderose on one of the last corners of the race and lost another position. But WHAT matters is that I lapped ovivoJR xD at least for a short timeAnd if don't announce that in your video you're a scrub

Grotti F1 Cluck´in Bell Results
Chaos at Cluck´in Bell. Superstepa_ wins!!!
This saturday the 7th round of the Grotti F1 World Championship was held at Cluck´in Bell raceway. The track known for its tricky asphalt has always presented us great racing events. So it did this time! Before the race even started the weather caught the drivers by surprise. Dark clouds were moving in from the North of Mount Chilliad. A few drivers where hoping for the sky to clear before the start of the race but the weather did not follow those wishes. At exactly 5.15pm UTC the cars went onto their formation lap. fab. ICEMAN infront of ovivoJR and Superstepa_. The 4th position had to stay empty b/c Oh_Darn, driver for Richard Majestics, had an electrical problem caused by the rain that could not be fixed till the start of the race. During the formation lap the rain got even heavier. A few drivers already had problems to keep their cars on the road b/c this was the first time all weekend that the track was wet. The race official decided that the conditions are safe to drive and so the race was started under wet conditions. ovivoJR managed the slippery conditions the bast and passed fab. ICEMAN on the straight to the first corner. Despite the rain there were no major incidents in the tricky first section. ovivoJR kept the lead infront of fab. ICEMAN until lap 4. The Tequi-la-la driver was the fastest man on the track in wet conditions. In lap 6 the track started to dry up again, which allowed ovivoJR to pull away from Superstepa_. The next laps fab. ICEMAN and ovivoJR had a very close battle for the lead. The racing line dryed up more and more which gave ovivoJR a slight advantage. But in lap 11 he made a huge mistake crashing into a wooden pole on the backstraight which put him 18 sek. behind the leaders. After closing the gap to Ganjalo and mrri0es in 4 & 5 position a fire-hydrant hit by the cars infront caused more trouble for ovivoJR. Luckily he was able to go into the pits after this incident only loosing 6 seconds to the lead. After the first pitstops the race settled a bit. fab. ICEMAN was in a comfortable lead over Superstepa_ and Madderose.
Approaching the 2nd pitstop window ovivoJR managed to get into 4th position. He took his pitstop in lap 36. The earliest possible pitstop lap. This strategy allowed fab. ICEMAN to overlap the current leader of the Grotti F1 Championship. After a few laps infront of the LS Customs driver fab. ICEMAN and Superstepa_ went into the pits. Here Superstepa_ made a tiny mistake by leaving the pits 3 sek early granting him a 5 sek stop-and-go penalty. Due to this Madderose could shorten the gap to the driver in 2nd place.
After the 2nd round of pitstops on lap 48 a lightpole on turn 4 lying on the racing line caused a safetycar period that lasted till lap 50. After this the first 5 cars were inbetween 8 seconds and things were starting to get chaotic. First cloudmcshort a lapped car crashed into Madderose on position 3. Right after fab. ICEMAN crashed into a barrier and got launched over it by Superstepa_ which caused him to loose a lot of time to wait for him allowing ovivoJR to unexpectedly go into the lead 5 laps before the end of the race. If the race would have ended like this he would have been World Champion b/c arken his reserve driver was in position 8. But ovivoJR choked which put him back into 3rd position behind Madderose, Superstepa_ and mrri0es. They were having a close battle for the lead. In the 2nd to last lap things started to get out of control. ovivoJR and fab. ICEMAN passed mrri0es with a silly overtake on the main straight going 3 wide into turn one. ovivoJR managed to close the gap to the leaders as they were going into the final lap. Superstepa_ passing Madderose on turn one into the gas-station with a beautiful overtake on the inside. After this Madderose got under attack by ovivoJR and made a mistake in turn 7 allowing him to go into 2nd position. The aftermath from this mistake was fab. ICEMAN crashing into Madderose loosing a position to mrri0es who then finished in 3rd position infront of the other two drivers. For the championship this means that ovivoJR is in the lead with 136 points infront of arken with 118 points. fab. ICEMAN who had a theoretical chance to win the championship before the race this saturday afternoon is now officially out of the fight for the title. He has 102 points so he could still claim 2nd spot in the leaderboard at the next race.
I hope you enjoyed this race report and thx for reading.

Grotti F1 Insights:
Thank you everybody for the awsome race we had today. It was such a thrilling race that had its climax after the safetycar deployed. It was a very tough decision for me to call out the safety car but in the end I think it was the right decision b/c three people got caught by the glitching lightpole and I could not risk the leaders to get stuck there. So I decided to call out the safety car. I am sorry to cloudmcshort that he lost 1min behind the safety car but it was a completly new situation for everybody. Next time lapped cars will be allowed to re-lap themselves so the order behind the safety car is the same as the racing order.
I hope you still enjoyed this race and had some fun with the battles that took place at the track. I think we managed everything very good and I am proud that everybody showed sportsmanship even in situations that were controversial.
See you at the final stop for this season on saturday: Flyin High Grand Prix

This was a very tense race. Had battles nearly the whole race. After the safty car phase I also had some incidents what was a bit frustrating when it happened, but that's racing. ovivoJR I have a bit of a problem with my footage. It comes out very big (25 GB) and the rendering program takes very long with it. After the whole night there is not even the half done with rendering. I also try to upload the raw footage to youtube but that also takes quite long. I hope I'll get it done until tomorrow.

My point of view of the race is up on YouTube. Timing of the video is in the video description. Is it a sign that when my recording starts ovivoJR is talking about satefy car procedure? :p YouTube file is 9 Go so I also uploaded a low quality, 1 Go version in the Grotti F1 Google Drive for you ovivoJR. A few personal notes about the race : - First, it's my best position in the championship so far and that's quite nice, even though in the early race I was in a good position for a 4th or a 5th. I think it has a lot to do with Arken and Darn not being in the racetrack but I'll take it anyway :p - Thanks mrri0es for the good battle we had! It was a good race. - Vixtro, I'm pushing a bit too much at 5:15 and slightly rear-ending you which gives me a good advantage on the next corner, this is not a very clean overtake and I just noticed while watching the footage. Sorry about that, I already did the same thing in Montréal... (video : youtu.be/gYsvKrKWLEc?t=3m20s). I'll try to be more attentive. - I was feeling a bit cramped side by side with Rioes and in front of you ovivo, it's a shame that I hit that hydrant and crashed you because you would have passed us both in that lap I'm pretty sure! - I'm also sorry for spinning out Dnl_Jackson after the safety car lap, I really wasn't cautious and the safety lap messed up my driving, I was used to having a good amount of space and it was back to tight formation again. I'm choking a lot alone after this too. - I don't know if it's just me but on previous races the pit windows were clearly called on TS during the race, it wasn't so clear this time and I was quite lost at some point.
