Thats the thing about long races, strategy is everything. Most people were running the cars lean like in qualify, but for these races, you have to make sure the car cools so too lean is not good. And tire change has to be factored in, either that or driving style adjustment to conserve te tyres. If Angel would not have had 2 gear trouble, he might have gotten into the top three, he was only 4-5 laps off the pace before the 2nd gear probs. While most were pitting at 4:30-5:00min Angels motor was lasting 6:30, thanks mainly to to gearing and the RB motor.

Anyways, killer weekend of racing, really fun, thanks again to all who visited, it was a pleasure racing w/ you guys. Hope to see you all down here next year.
