[PC] San Andreas Touring Car Championship - S4 FULL

After an exciting last raceday, Obey/NH5 looks back on the final raceday and the season as a whole.
Before hearing what they have to say about the season, let's see how their last 2 races went:

St0cking:
"Delperro was as hard as i expected it to be. I've never driven this track in any event before and i didn't come prepared enough I'd say. After an extremely rough start, making mistakes myself and suffering from others' mistakes, pretty much landing in around last place, i decided to get a restart for myself and just do all my pits one after another. Afterwards i had a rather calm race with little to no mistakes and I was surprised to see that at the end i got up to as far as 14th, only 8sec away from pointplaces.

On the Yarn is, next to Parsons Loop and Fever Pitch, one of my top3 tracks of the season and i was sad to not have been able to race on it last season. Starting on 5th i told Ganjalo that it would be a perfect ending to the season to not only get our first podium spot, but maybe even a double podium! I did not expect the superiority of the verlierer, although it wasnt too big considering the length of the track, but our double podium was there to take. It was a real shock when suddenly Ganjalos engine once again lost all power and he possibly even lost the racewin. Not to mention it cost us 2 positions in the teamchampionship.. My race went well except for some troubles on first 2 laps and at some point i was confident to take 2nd home. Then one car i was lapping didn't make space, it was raining heavily and it was a very fast downhill corner and i spun out going into his rear.. I thought that was it for me and my podium but i was able to recover just in time and saved my 2nd, securing the podiumspot. It was tough and the race was unusually long, very exhausting and nervewrecking in the rain..but at least for me it turned out in a memorable finish
Oh and i was very proud to finally get the best 9F laptime on a track, especially on this one!"

Ganjalo:
"It was difficult to start from the back on Del Perro, it's a very tight track, and I only managed to gain 8 position. I'm not gaining any points with that but I had an interesting race with good driving, respectful battles and clean overtakes.

On the Yarn is a big disappointment of course, it was a podium finish on a silver platter. Above all, that engine failure costs my team two positions in the championship. Less importantly, I don't get the result I deserve and that doesn't feel fair. The same thing happened in the '16 Grotti F1 finale, where my best result of the season got taken away."



St0cking:
"So, summarizing the season.. it's been great fun. I had more expectations of myself at the start of the season but as the season went on
I came to peace with my pace and ofcourse I'm very happy and proud of my last race result.
I really appreciate this event so i hope that even without me there will be many seasons to come. Big thanks to the host, the strategy group, loser with his spreadsheet and everyone else who made this event what it is.
 
Special thanks to my teammate Ganjalo, i don't know how well you all know him but he's had a big part in building my pace, he pretty much taught me the abc of gta racing, starting back at the end of season 2 where i didn't even know that different spoilers affect the handling of the cars and all that stuff. He's also always been very supportive about any "forum roleplay" ideas i had like the screenshots, the scoreboards and so on so I was very lucky that what started off as a random team, not actually knowing him before, quickly turned into a great partnership.
I wish him all the best and i really hope he will get the rewards that he deserves but has been denied so far in his next venture. "

Ganjalo:
"It was great to work closely with my teammate and all the Japanese engineers, to try to squeeze everything out of the 9F. It's good to share the track with other dedicated racers, the SATCC is a highly regarded event in our community and I'm lucky enough to be a part of it.
I had highs and lows over the course of the season, but I'm happy to finish in the top 10 and to prove I'm a consistent driver.
I'm not sure what's ahead now but I do hope I'll have more chances at aiming for the podium!"
