 Easy music Chad Dillon knows it's third as Dominic is going slow on the Chad Dillon A replica of the previous race, no sits in P2 Chad Dillon Many years, 34 are meant to be in fact Purchasing tracks today Drive on normal is one of two normals, 13 or 23 depending on the If I am lucky enough to get 23, if not, it is 13 Simracing competitively for about a year or so Following Formula One since 2007 Lewis Hamilton's first season Yes, that is my drive on All of you haters out there Leave the gold Following Formula One heavily since the start of Lewis Hamilton's career And that is, you know, where my love of mental sport comes from Yeah, I am involved in the management, stewarding, commentary Whatever role is required really I try to help and fill it where necessary Because the goal here is to see this platform grow to a point where I mean, we know what the international scene looks like The international scene is booming right now That scene and me actually, you know, in the realm of the top drivers on that scene Not the magnificent, but more to get there We have to develop the talent that we have here Alright, in front of you, he's closing in He is in striking distance As Dominic Charles crossed the line to finish 23 laps In first position I don't think Mark is going to have enough As get on KXP2 The line there is the event We have 12 grand plus sign off 7 grand plus race hot system I mean, that tells you a lot You can take it serious There are lots of benefits in doing it Show where to stick What is gaming is Waste of time It goes to any kind of serious The world is changing And it's slowness to what I think to The world has a kind of sense of back in world range So the good was Some brilliant racing took place All through on that series I saw people that This was their first competitive series Coming down to extremely well So Jane Harrison took second place I wouldn't say he's a rookie But still relatively young In the same racing game And showed brilliant talent And his progress even through the series Was sure The extraterrestrial Biological units That they were interacting with What the heck Overall, it's just such a shame That we didn't have the numbers to showcase See the drivers that do have the talent Excel to continue to develop Even younger drivers that Are just now getting their start In the same racing scene To kind of push that company It's growing And it's unity is all there People in same racing And some of the talent in those trends In the continued development Anywhere I can compete I will be competing In this venture Trying to establish a market Here in Jamaica Develop the talents Take it internationally And we've seen remarkable growth In the year that we've existed We now have strong bonds With Panama, Venezuela, Dominican Republic We have personnel Trying to break us out into the European and Asian markets So the growth is coming And I am very happy to be alive Good evening ladies and gentlemen We want to thank you For joining us here On another chase of a Saturday My apologies if that echo was heard With this momentary confusion there Yes, we are here on another Saturday With our new multi-class series Here at BJSRA And in this series You have two classes of drivers Some in Amitsubishi Land So that is the quicker Of the two cars on offer And the others in a BMW M2 Which is the second class of drivers The main class might be a little bit quicker As they are the drivers That posted the necessary times To qualify for this event But we'll get more into that later As I did not complete my introduction My name is Chad Dillon And this is the JSRA stream And I am joined by Mr. Kale Vaid Ropo Good evening ladies and gentlemen Thank you for the introduction Chad So you are joining us Just as free practice has come to a close Drivers have had all week To complete their mandatory 25 laps For those who had not Done their qualifying race The last time we're out in Hares As Chad mentioned this is a multi-class series Meaning that we're going to be seeing Two different cars on the grid Now going into qualifying We'll have a 20 minute qualifying session Before the 40 minute lap Sorry the 40 minute race Plus one lap And you mentioned Chad That the Lancer is the faster Of the two cars on offer Funnily enough in the speed traps The M2 CS is actually putting down faster Top speed Yes absolutely It is the faster car in a straight line But our own track like this That won't really matter This is the Virginia International Raceway The North track And we have 14 corners Over a What is it? 3 km 3.6 km There we go Thank you very much That hard Fans would have immediately recognized this track From its appearance On the peak performance calendar I believe it was one of the very first races That we had In that series our own Virginia International Raceway Absolutely Some of the drivers will have had some experience here already Certainly but not with these cars And I mean this is a shortened version To the version that Kaila has mentioned We did use the full track in that series But this is the North course Which is a shortened version 14 corners 3.6 km as we mentioned And certainly will lend itself to some brilliant racing I can see one, well two Good opportunities for overtaking Coming out of turn 5 Yeah that's turn 5 there Coming out of turn 5 The run after the 12-13 complex All the way down to start-finish So two good opportunities for drivers To try and make their moves And another point to note with a track like this one Kaila The elevation change My goodness And you know the track seems quite smooth And flowing but the drivers Actually putting in the seat time here on this track Are going to be experiencing some challenges These cars don't have much downforce If any at all So they're purely relying on mechanical grip To carry them through some of these corners And the elevation changes Especially in the second half of this track It's definitely going to Throw some drivers off If they didn't put in enough practice But the slow nature As I said there's only a couple of Obvious overtaking points at this track Seeing as we're using the north circuit Which is a shortened version So it's quite slow Drivers don't get much of a chance to just You know relax and hold the steering wheel straight So we're going to see the path Stay quite close and tight together I think we're going to see a lot of Close battling out here tonight At VIR Absolutely and a few changes To the start procedure for those Who would have tuned in last week We didn't see where some of the Faster class drivers got Held up In the pack of the BMWs Because those drivers refused To yield their position In the course of battle But the start procedure has changed The faster class will go At the outage Of the six red lights And there will be a 15 second time Or that will set off The second class of drivers So that should keep The two classes separate And it is about three seconds A lap difference Between these two Sets of cars So certainly want to look forward to We will get two sets of battles going on On track and it will be Quite taxing to keep an eye On both Cale and his hair this evening I mean it's going to be action up and down The field so we have to keep Our eyes and theirs everywhere To make sure we can Action is the perfect word And seeing as though this race is not As short as we usually have This is a 40 minute race plus one lap So we may even see some Blue flags being waved here and there Towards the The latter stages of the race as the Lancer class Drivers Drivers in the pro class will be Lapping a lot faster than the Pro Am drivers So that Shakes things up a bit But as you are there As you are mentioning with regards to The overtaking and even The start procedure We will be adopting the same Protocols used in multi class Endurance racing where Blue flags will be shown but Drivers are To allow the faster Class cars to overtake them At the safest So we are not going to We don't expect to be seeing A faster class driver trying to Overtake in the middle of The corner 11 where it's very twisted there That would just be a big risk But we do know that in the moments In the heat of battle That goes Out the window but The series is all about Explosing The pro am drivers to Racing etiquette that we expect The pro drivers to be Exhibiting so we will Definitely be looking out for that As Kurt Maas here on his flying lap 40 ms in qualifying is the fastest Man in the first sector Absolutely and I'm sure we'll see those Times come down I recall seeing Times a little bit Lower earlier in the day No actually we're About on pace to what Was seen in the earlier stages As the second class Roger Robinson Leads them On a 129.7 Which that I believe Might come down a little bit To be closer to a Maybe a 129.0 So we will continue to Observe those drivers and Quite an active grid We have here this evening Kale We have 17 Drivers currently Out on track With one more to be added To the list and I see the Cameraman's curse Playing a role there As we switch to the drivers and All of a sudden incidents are taking place Well yes we have 17 drivers Out, 18 when Daville Park Drives the field and we have 6 drivers currently in The Pro class and A whopping 6 drivers in the pro Am class so certainly The pro am class want to watch in terms Of the action that they will be Bringing us here this evening as Roger Robinson does bring That time right down His last lap A 128.9 so even Faster than I had anticipated At that point in time and the 3 second difference showing So almost to the T at that point Extracting the most out of these Cars go ahead Kale Yes Roger Robinson or Jamaican abroad Racing from Singapore I believe It's an international Fair tonight as we even have Drivers representing Venezuela I'm in person of Estefano Carrera We have Luis Daniel Velez And I believe A newcomer Where is he? Sebastian Percy as well Are we here representing Simracing Venezuela Tried to be working with them Again in another series here So we expect to see A bit of international Arrival over here tonight As we We're moving through qualifying Just 12 minutes left Absolutely and as you Mentioned Sebastian Percy I believe He has just joined the room not yet Having done a flyer So you will see him out on track Momentarily and I expect him To be right up at the top there With Roger Robinson as he Did show quite some pace earlier on Another newcomer there In Alex Jarrett right A hot on the heels of Roger Robinson He also showed some brilliant pace In the practice sessions So another one to watch Throughout the course of that race And as we are observing the program class He has found himself up in A second position Behind Kurt Moss Who is still on provisional pole Just 12 hundredths of a second Between these two Drivers so Certainly and as 12,000 My apologies but Yes certainly One to watch And those margins might get Even closer Some of these drivers like Juan Jaden Harrison is looking to find The pace anywhere he can So look for him to make a push Estefano Borreira not that far Of the pace either The top four all within two tenths Of a second looking like the formula One quota Qualifying earlier today Where the top four was separated By about a tenth and I'm sorry If that is a spoil of anybody at this point Never thought that through Fortunately that was one of the sprints Right but tonight will be The real thing So if anyone doesn't want any spoilers Make sure you tell your friends to watch To tune into the stream before you ruin it For them after the race Because it's anyone's race here tonight As Kurt Moss Has gone faster Kale by about Three tenths of a second putting The rest of the field On the back foot trying to Match his pace here this evening And once again And Marc Anthony does match him in the middle sector Absolutely What a tenth down in sector one So we would see If he can find Some time there in the final sector To get That much closer to Kurt Moss As he is approaching the line here Might have gotten a bit Of slipstream there from a driver Who he has just overtaken He did help him to improve in the third sector About only by five thousandths of a second Only a tenth Not even a tenth and a half of Kurt Moss I mean It was twelve thousandths of a second earlier now Ten times as much time But still the margins are So fine The top three now separated by Or the top four still Separated by just over Half a second One class For his class Having set a One twenty eight point nine And Only two Barely three tenths behind him is Alex Jart And one twenty nine point two So it is still Very close there even down in the The Am class Drivers are very close together now In terms of their times Now Mitch and Wallace trying to find His best lap time To put himself into the Contention of his class So as we are on board with him Here as he is going through sector two Three tenths Three and a half tenths down in sector one On Kurt Moss's time And almost matching him there In the middle sector so Certainly Mitch and Wallace looking to put himself Firmly in the mix with the top drivers In his respective class And as we are Approaching As turned thirteen into fourteen They're not sorry last thirteen Heading down to fourteen and The line we will see Where he has managed to put Himself Mitch and Wallace and he goes To fourth position Behind Estefan A barrier but not by much So fine margins Indeed here Kurt Kail this evening All drivers currently chasing down Kurt Moss with about seven and a half Minutes to go here in this qualifying Central Let's not only focus on The Class There's a lot going on down in the 10th, 11th and 12th position here Marlon Smith battling it out here with Ruben Espinoza For that 11th position But I believe that's one, two, three That's the top Third position in class So it's very competitive here Especially in the In the AM class you know It's a lot closer racing because Drivers don't have that advantage of Arrow you know when you have that Arrow to assist you when you're driving Some drivers will trust that the car Will stick through the corner because of the Arrow and others won't and you know That's one area where Kurt must definitely take advantage Of Their cars in that regard But in the AM class here It's just rubber and roll and it's Fook and It can take advantage Of the group that the four Tires will allow you to have here Around the smooth flowing via Our north circuits This is one of those Cliche moments where in a qualifying Session like this one The saying is fortune favours the brave So you will certainly see Who is bravest on Their breaks here this evening To get the maximum out of The car's performance Certainly nobody looking to be On Any kind of push lap at the moment Looking down the timing chart Maybe Rahul Nazir Looks to be going along Quite well Might have been on an Rated lap though as he was Up on his best Time But not by much Not enough to trouble the guys At the top so certainly This order looking to be quite Established but Roger Robinson Three tenths clear of Alex Jarrett maybe Alex might Have a little bit more in the tank To take that fight to Roger All the while Havard Clarke down there In 4th position In class that's 4th That is certainly a lot further down the order My apologies But yes Yeah no it's 6th Yeah well It's gonna be a lot to keep up with Kale that is for certain I'm trying but my goodness There is so much on offer as Jayden Harris puts himself ahead Just three tenths off Of Kurt Moss's time Kurt Moss has yet to replicate That lap so you will certainly See what else he has To offer We're gonna be showing us in a Short period of time Mr. Moss himself has come out of the pit And is now warming those tires up On an out lap to see if he can Best himself and ward off The likes of Mark Anthony And Jayden who will be hot on his heels Snatched that 4th position We have less than 5 minutes left in this Qualifying session and A lot of the drivers in the am class Are actually in the pits Alex Jarrett and Roger Robinson Still out on track trying to Secure their spots On the starting grid Marlon Smith Who is 3rd in class at the moment Is in the pits I think he just Exited the pits Pablo Grenadillo Still sitting in the pits comfortable 4th position so far Ruben Espinosa is Sitting in 5th position in class But is still sitting at time out there He is even currently up on his best Time so we'll see if he does Improve Tabar Clark In 6th now having A personal best for himself in the First sector but with a 129.8 Not able to quite match Ruben in 5th And Rahul Nasir still pushing The very quick Canadian Will see if he can Move himself up the Order here and I'm just like the Point that we haven't seen I don't think I've seen any Blockages any Impedements in this Qualifying session which is By the rear occurrence Certainly not any that we've caught Here on tape but I'm looking at Sebastian Purse seem to be going Very well on his lap he was About a second and His best time and looks like He might be one such driver to Witness that blocking effect As you mentioned Kale Looks as though he's the one doing The blocking and fortunate for The driver behind him that's Daville Park I believe behind Him Seeing what the back of his Very own BMW M2 CS looks Like a bit of racing here Might be going on in the Qualifying session The drivers tried the jockey for Position on their final runs Yep just over two minutes left In this qualifying session before Our first multi-class Sorry yeah multi-class Race VR gets underway And things are looking To be quite heated going into That first corner Kermos having set Another lap Time is not quite matching Up to his personal best 1.5 his class leading 1.25.5 on medium tiles And speaking of tires chatter The It must be noted that The setup The setup is open for the Drivers in the pro-arm class They can tweak their aero Their tire pressures and their dampers They're able to make adjustments to their setup But in the arm class It is a fixed setup Also there's no Mandatory pit stop For this race however Damage is on And the fuel usage And tire deck are Fuel usage is at 100% And tire deck is at 150% So depending on how Drivers will be pushing To you know maximize Their chances for Positions and possibly even Winning we may see them Start to include some strategy During the race as now We're moving down to the final Minute of qualifying Let's see if He has found some time In the first 2 sectors Not quickest of all But has certainly improved upon his times And as he crosses the line It looks like he may have invalidated Somewhere so Despite the fact that he was going quicker on that lap It did not count And that lap Was I'm not seeing where it registered On my timing sheet But oh it would have moved him up A little bit But not enough to trouble the top 2 So Jaden Harrison Still with some work to do Throughout the Next couple of corners As this should be most drivers Final flying laps And I am wondering What's going on with Kirk Moss Back to the pits it seems Comfortable enough that He is Going to be on pole None of these drivers improving Mark Anthony will have one more go At trying to match Moss but he looks to be In some traffic here at the moment And that certainly is not the Place you want to be That driver being very kind in letting him through Because if that driver was on a flying lap I certainly would not want To be getting out of the way But Jaden Harrison has found Some time here And that is the end Of that All very unfortunate And it seems he has disconnected So I'm not sure if that's a pole issue That just occurred with Jaden And That looked like It could have been a lap to upset The applicants so to speak But we're not sure what's going on Maybe he lost pole Or internet And either way It's rather unfortunate Let's hope he can get reconnected in time For the race The disaster there for Jaden Harrison Having set the fastest middle sector So far beating out even Kirk Moss's 19 seconds In the middle sector What could have been for Jaden Harrison But it's all Set in stone now for The pro-am class Kirk Moss Who is still in the pit Is the only one still out there In the pro-am class Still setting a lap time But Your man starting on pole position For the pro-am class will be Kirk Moss Demonstrating his aptitude behind the steering wheel As usual Absolutely And for the arm class To put a pole down and maintain His pole position Followed by Alex Jarrett And those two drivers will certainly Be doing battle On track to try and See who can Come out on top We do look forward Seeing how our new Starting system will work out In terms of starting the two classes On a delayed schedule As the president is using the drone To Marksmanship Standards here Trying to give us a view of the track Assuming into The One of the few drivers still out on track That looks to be Stephen Pommels Taking absolutely every single advantage So pulling your skills in on a track Even if it may be one last Lap Stephen Pommels there Identifying where it's slippery As he seems to have lost the rear end there Going around corner Three But it was I must admit Chad That was quite a quiet Qualifying session there The driver set one or two laps And it was a status quo That was just maintained For the rest of the qualifying session I don't expect to see anything During the race Of course There will be action on the grid You cannot have a multi class race With some action with blue flags Or drivers battling for position Especially seeing as though This will be a high stakes Track It's just grass on either side Of the white lines So it's definitely going to be Who is the braver of the two When it comes to battling here at VIR And that's it But the qualifying Has come to an end here And the drivers will be sitting there Making Their adjustments From their qualifying setups To their race setups Adjusting their fuel, the tire pressures Maybe they have to adjust their suspension In accordance To the added weight of the fuel I believe only Well the M2 class is starting Are all on the same tire It being a locked setup We're just going to see who will have the faster Get away At race start Absolutely and certainly It will be Something to watch Particularly for the We will have 15 seconds to observe What happens at the start For the pro Avon class as they will Get going first We will certainly get to Check in on what's happening With the Avon class thereafter As we are trying to get A view of the Starting grid And we will observe The start From The drone camera for that class And as we get going Remember the BMW drivers Are not set off until We have reached 15 seconds Into this race So we will be following along with the AM class The top 8 drivers on the grid Kurt Moss starting from first position With Mark Anthony eating alongside him As the lights are coming on Jane Harrison seems to have gotten back into the Server and is now Sitting in third position once more With Estefano Barrera alongside him We are getting going, the lights are out And we are off Kurt Moss with a good getaway Eating with a good getaway And cuts across immediately to cover off Jane Harrison As we are going Along through the first corner And there is some contact there between Jane Harrison And that looked to be Mitchon Wallace Ouch, that was some heavy contact There between those two drivers As we see the countdown And the server for the beginning Of this race for the AM class The M2 BMW Drivers are going to be getting Away, they may tangle here with Mitchon While it's coming into the first corner We can hear them barreling down Into the first corner There they are in the back row It's Roger Robinson keeping the lead in his class DaVille Park Moves up a position Alex D'Jard falling down the order There is some contact there between Tybin Toura and Roger Robinson But he still manages to keep it going Marlon Smith now moving up into second position Getting that position from DaVille Park Pablo Grenadier now in fourth position In class as they head through Turns five and six A bit of Carnage their kale In that corner But Roger Robinson makes an Excellent getaway And now only has Marlon Smith And DaVille Park for company The top four seem to have gotten away And The field is already spreading As I believe the program class Would have been completing their first lap At this point in time Kurt Moss crosses the line A 133-0 followed closely By Mark Anthony Eaton And Estefano Barrera In third position A lot of changes For position there right at the start Yeah and poor old Mitchon Wallace Sits 21 seconds behind the rest Of the field in his class After that contact with Jaden Harrison And He will certainly want to get The hurry up going so that he does not Come into any form of contact With the BMW Drives quite unfortunate There for Jaden Harrison Mitchon Wallace there just locking up the brakes Heading into T1 I believe his Jaden there was hit I'm not sure which way that panned out But either way The stewards will have to decide How that goes and there is I don't believe that's Well Roger Robinson and Marlon Smith Hot on the tail of one another In the AM class All the while positions are changing In the pro AM class We're trying to keep up with all of the action folks But there's a lot going on up and down the field We will miss some here and there But the top two In the pro AM class Still separated by only Seven tenths of a second between Mark Anthony Eaton and Kurt Moss And Kurt Moss doing The quickest lap of anybody As this is lap number two there Well lap number three there Starting there just finished lap number two And the two drivers Are still going Closely together Here Eaton and Moss With Stefano Barrera Not too far behind as well So we will certainly be getting some action going there Roger Robinson seems to be stabilizing In the lead of his class We will check back in with them later As we continue to ride on board with the action here In The pro AM class with Kurt Moss Keeping the field At bay through two and a half laps As we start the uphill climb In sector two Of this track And it's all going wrong For Deville Park who was sitting In third position in his class He seems to have had some contact With Pablo Granadillo and he's now Falling Dropping like a fly through the order He is now in I believe seventh position Unfortunate occurrences there For Deville Park who Started so cleanly and made up He runs in that carnage there At the start of the race But rubbing is racing they say Chad Why that sound like more than rubbing Happened there because That position changed quite drastically For poor old Deville Park Who find themselves now Third to last in his class That's about seventh or eighth position As you mentioned It's going to be hard to keep track Of all of these positions Kail as a lot Is happening up and down the field Seems to be trying to put the pressure on Kermas here The quickest first sector of anybody Trying to get that fight going As we see a little bit of a lock-up there Between the top three who have already Separated themselves from the rest of their class By quite some margin there Between Estefan of Barrera And That is Ssss I am not seeing the person that sits In fourth position on the timing sheet But That's Steven Pommels In fourth position That's what I'm seeing here on my screen Same but Luis Daniel Velez Seems to be ahead of Steven Pommels Based on the in-game Positioning Of the drivers Not sure why Daniel Velez Does not show up On the timing sheets Based on what I am seeing Jayden Harrison has gotten by Both Kimani Ison Well, Kimani Ison at least To move himself back up into sixth position Trying to recover his race After that initial contact With Mitchon Wallace I'm sure the steward's room will Get an earful from both of those drivers As to what went wrong And how Each will have it addressed In terms of Realized All the while, Roger Robinson still sits Comfortably in the lead of his race With A 5th With a half a second gap To the driver behind Who is Michael Smith Marlon Smith, my apologies And Marlon Smith might be looking to put some pressure On Roger Robinson here As Kurt Maas has now taken A second out of the drivers behind In the pro-am class Is looking to extend his margin As we continue Throughout this race All the while, these two drivers Giving it their all in the Am class, trying to Ensure that they Secure the top spot In their division And Rahul Nasir Is trying to close in On the top three sitting in fourth position In class He is gaining on Pablo Granadillo Is about three seconds They're about almost four seconds His lap times are getting faster and faster And eventually I think Marlon is going to catch up to Roger If it's not Mistakes, it may be just that He's putting down a bit of A rapid lap Right now, setting a personal best In the second sector And Pablo will be waiting With arms wide open To snatch up a position In here coming under pressure From Estefano Barrera And some contact That is Where you can tell me that rubbing Is racing skill That was a rub, that wasn't The contact that we saw before But these two drivers certainly going at it And are they already catching Drivers in the BMW class This is the first instance Of a car being lapped there Current mass already getting through I believe that is Sebastian Percy Indeed, the BMW of Sebastian Percy, the first car to get lapped Not having the greatest Of first races in the series Sebastian, I'm not sure if Some contact has dropped him that far Down the order as he is 18 seconds Away from the Next car up the road which is Tyve and Turo And as these cars are starting To hit lapped traffic This will certainly play a role On their Overall race To attack And defend based on where You are catching These cars and it looks like They will catch a gaggle of them Within the next couple of laps their kill And I know That the likes of Marc Anthony is going to be Using the Lapped traffic to their To his advantage, you know holding off The charging Estefano and Only allowing him to get close when They're in that gaggle of slower cars To try and use them as a blockage But it doesn't seem like Estefano is going to be Waiting for Marc to Pull that trick out of the bag They're side by side going into turn two Marc is still ahead of him But Estefano is just searching For an opportunity, Marc leaves the Space and Estefano says Thank you very much but Marc is still there And keeps him on the outside No space for him to get around Marc is making the back off That Lancer Extremely wide All the while Alou and Kurt must get away still By side by side coming into turn seven Tata, Marc utilizing All the tricks in the book here Still side by side going up Oh my goodness No, certainly Marc Anthony Eaton Is giving us the defense that we're used to Getting from him, I mean He seems to want to claim That title of minister of defense Whenever he Gets into a battle like this one He knows exactly how to position his car To keep the driver behind Taking slower and More compromise lines which gives him The chance to keep his car ahead But the fight between these two Has compromised their lap so drastically That Kurt Marc now finds himself Five seconds up the road And all the while these two are fighting It will certainly play the drivers behind them Into contention, Steven Pommels And Jaden Harrison will certainly be looking To see how they can get back into this fight If this goes on for much longer And Jaden Jaden Harrison who had fallen To the back of the grid in his class Now sitting in fifth position He's wasting absolutely no time at all Closing in on Steven Pommels now You rightfully said Shad That this fighting here between Second and third is only inviting Fourth, fifth and sixth Into the mix and Steven Pommels Seems to have missed A meeting with the barrier And expeditiously rushed himself Into the barrier to catch up Unfortunate stuff there for Steven But this just pushes Jaden Harrison up the order Now in fourth position After starting in third It's working out for some And not working out for others Here at VIR And you can see him there in the background As these two continue to scrap Eaton and Barrero having Quite the battle here This evening for that Final spot on the podium position And as we are watching along here It would be prudent for me to shout out Or streaming partner Sportsmax where we are Broadcasting this event here For you here this evening And we are getting lots Of action for them To display to their audiences This is him racing ladies and gentlemen Certainly He is ahead We will observe if he can Find somewhere to put his car But that move is now done Clearly having a bit more pace Than Mark Anthony Eaton as he has been Applying that pressure heavily Throughout the last few laps So maybe He will now start to stretch his legs To extend that gap to Mark Anthony Eaton After making that move stick finally I mean he is supposed to be breathing A sigh of relief at the moment Having gone through Looking ever which Direction he could to try And make that pass Outside inside Around the way over the car Anything he could have tried But it took some doing and Eating her losing the car a little bit Did he manage to save it Yes he did but that is certainly Going to cost him in terms of Time trying to keep the pressure On Estefano Barrero Not only time Chad but in tires We have 27 minutes left in this race Plus one lap Mark would have been putting on A defensive show Here for us earlier but now he is In attacking and Chad I want to ask you I know you have Bucked heads with Mark On the track before I want to ask You would you rather him behind you Attacking or him behind you In front of you defending Well as you Saw with that defense just now I would much prefer to have him On the attack behind me As opposed to having to be Trying to make that move whilst He is defending because he knows How to make that car About 13 feet wide To cover the distance across that track And I don't know If this is A technique that he practices but Certainly his defense Is second to none in this league And we have seen it Time and time again from him So certainly I would prefer to have him Trying to attack There is more room for me to negotiate the situation As opposed to his defense Which sometimes Causes you the driver To make an error in trying to figure out Where you can best attack him But he is a crafty fellow Mark Anthony even In terms of his defense So certainly I would prefer to Be the driver in front When it comes to being on track with Mark Absolutely and credit where It's due to Estefano Barreira To manage to keep close Throughout I think Around five or even more laps of Hard fought battling there Between Mark and Estefano David Park there having An incident with Nicholas Donald Both drivers picking up A bit of damage there But we have been focusing On what's happening Between Estefano And Mark all the while Has been battling with Marlon Smith At one point the gap was just Half a second It's now two seconds between The two leaders of the Class, Rajee Robinson Sitting quite comfortably Out in P1 in his class And the likes of Marlon Doing everything he can To catch up to him The gap is also getting smaller And smaller to Pablo Going to deal behind him Four seconds gap to know One second behind Pablo Granadillo Rahul Nasir here seems to getting it Getting it right this lap around As he comes across the line Pablo in front of him would have done A 130 dead Rahul Nasir does a 129.7 3 tenths faster Than the driver ahead So it seems as though as the fuel Does burn off and the Track gets a bit more grippy Rahul Nasir is finding Just a bit more time Taking advantage of the Dynamics of that BMW M2 Absolutely and the other fact That you mentioned earlier Kale is Tiles who has managed to Preserve their tiles the best possible Way to get to this stage of the race Because we're almost at the halfway mark And there is no mandatory pit stop So These drivers will certainly be Pushing on this set of tiles Throughout the entirety of this race So it is about Managing your pace so that you're not Doing too much harm to your Tiles lap in lap out In order to get to the end And still have some pace Left in the tiles when you get Towards a lot of stages of the race Because you could find yourself Leading this race but no tiles Left and that will certainly leave you A sitting duck if these drivers Managed to stay close enough Throughout the remainder of The Throughout the duration of this race My apologies And speaking of pace Chad Jaden Harrison matching the race Leader in the last lap at 126.9 from Kurt 126.9 from Jaden He is absolutely hammering it He has gotten that gap down To three seconds behind Mark and then eating out In a few laps time To see Mark having to put on Another defensive showcase As Jaden Harrison is wasting Absolutely no time He is running he's utilizing Those tires to the fullest Extent we may see how that affects him Towards the latter stages of this race But knowing Jaden he's going to Push push push and take Those tires for every ounce Of a grip that they have Absolutely will see how this battle unfolds And they are certainly Finding themselves coming together Sooner rather than later I mean it seems to be a recurring theme With these two they just always Seem to find each other on track And it always produces Some brilliant fighting Between the two of them they claim There is no rival really there but The amount of times that they find themselves Together on track and The The defence and offence That goes into them attacking Although Certainly I think these two drivers Have If not a rivalry Certainly Some intense battles Time and time again More than just a rivalry Chad these two drivers Do respect each other To the utmost extent Having Spent so much time together Battling each other throughout the peak All each other's tricks inside and out And that it is why I don't know if you can hear it in my voice But there is a smile on my face because I am anticipating The sparks that will fly When Jaden does eventually catch up To Mark Anthony Kurt Moss sitting pretty now Out in first position Get behind him for seconds He is not pushing anymore His lap times are indicating that He is just keeping things under control Mark Anthony Now in the pits 20 minutes left to go Just over half distance Through this race What do you make of this strategy Kale Maybe Mark thinking Fresh tyres might serve him Better In terms of the fight He does emerge ahead Of Mitch and Wallace and will have Fresh robot to do Quicker lap times Maybe he just thought the tyres would not Take him to the end of the race So he has made a call To take a pit stop And I guess what we will do now Is observe the lap times that he posts Going forward Having given Sorry Having taken that pit stop And would now find himself In seventh position from third Maybe also thinking about The potential battle with Jaden And not thinking he has A tyre life to put up The adequate fight With Jaden Harrison there And decided That maybe Fresh robot is the way to go We will see if anybody else makes that call But certainly we will keep an eye on Mark Anthony eating's lap time To see if that call was The right call as it looks like Estefan of Barrero Might be Or No, my apologies The timing sheets came up to say That he was heading to the pits But he does not seem to have Done so as It's certainly a gamble there From Mark's end Deciding to take that pit stop But we will see If others follow His strategy And I've very Mentioned it because the first thing that came to my mind Is that Mark would have seen Jaden Time, the gap closing between them And rather than Do some slower lap times And just wait for Jaden to fight him And lose even more time He decided to take a pit stop Will it be worth it though Falling to the near back of the grid I'm not even seeing him on the timing Sheets anymore There he is still in 6th position Falling to near the back of his Class Who will see if he is able to Capitalise on those fresher tiles But there is a bit of an incident There between the Shen Wallace And a driver in the Am class Has I'm not sure what happened there The timing chart kind of gave us A little bit of a whirling early It showed Kirk Moss dropping down To 4th position Jaden confirmed he is still there In 1st position I got quite concerned for a moment I was wondering if he too made the call To dive into the pits Still sitting pretty in 1st position About 3 and a half seconds clear of Estefana Borreiro Jaden Harrison now Driving a very lonely race Lonely in terms of his class But he will certainly have drivers To go by in terms of The amateur class Of drivers Yes and there is quite a group Of them here going up Through the straight into turn 7 To head up the hill I think it's going to be Jaden Harrison That catches them now going up through this Fast uphill section Hopefully no one gets Impeded But you know at the same time The drivers are racing They are in the Am class And they will see the faster drivers In the Bram class as an obstacle You know they are not going to be saying Oh yes please come pass me Racing you are in my way I am trying to make up positions And you win your faster car With your bigger wing And your more aerodynamic Get your own race track But Jaden Harrison I am sure Will utilize all his racing Expertise to navigate This mine field Of BMW M2 cars As you see some action going on Here down into turn 1 In the box seat To witness Pablo Granadillo Make a move on Marlon Smith Barely anything between these two They are nip and tuck heading into turn 3 Utilizing all of the exit there On the Entry into turns 5 And 6 Granadillo there Not giving an inch Sticking to that rear bumper Of Marlon Smith now side by side Up into turn 7 Chad with Rabool try and Capitalize on this movement here As they go up into the right hander Oh and there is some runoff there Like Marlon Marlon just got it a bit wrong there Running a bit wide And Pablo there taking the inside line Being conservative allows Rabool Nasir to get 2 in 1 The Canadian Hanging back It was the smart thing to do He will be He will be happy with that move there Gaining 2 positions in one corner Absolutely And Steven Pommel seems to have had An incident there on track Finds himself tumbling down the order Whilst you're riding on board with The Drivers ahead but All the while I'm not sure if this is a lap Traffic playing Estefano Barreira Back into contention but he is Closing the gap to Kurt Mos Quite rapidly and as Kurt Mos Is trying to overtake The same trio That we were just riding on board With That will play a part in Their battle as well as the battle With Estefano Barreira as Kurt Mos Is now sandwiched between These Drivers and Estefano Is also coming right Back into contention here As he tries to make a move To get by the BMWs And this is looking quite intense In terms of figuring out Where on track you can Get by these cars And it has brought the gap right Down to 6th, 10th, 7th 10th of a second basically Between the two Drivers holding the top two Spots in this race here this evening And they still have one more car to clear We will see who that goes in favour Of whether it favours Estefano Barreira or Kurt Mos Right now it's favouring It's definitely favouring Estefano as Kurt got held up in a very fast Right under there Down to 4th, 10th between Kurt Mos And Estefano Barreira But Kurt has been just managing This race not pushing on those Tyres he has a lot more life left in those Tyres and I definitely think we're going to see him Pull another gap on Estefano Estefano is very quick but Kurt put it on Forward and has been in first position This entire race Estefano now sitting in the 6th tree May want to capitalise Jump at the chance The opportunity to overtake Kurt Mos But he thinks better of it Taking an alternative line there Trying to get a bit of a switchback A better run on the exit of turn 1 Heading into turn 2 The gap is widening already Now for almost 4 tenths Now between them We'll see if The last man to take a pit stop here Giving Mark Anthony Back the 5th position Well giving Mark Anthony 5th position but the 2 drivers ahead Still glued together Kail Estefano not giving up on That charge just yet He is right with Kurt Mos As they start to climb up the hill And certainly I think Estefano has found Some pace here Is taking that fight to Kurt Maybe Kurt doing a little bit of Tire preservation at this stage of the game Realising that the drivers behind Are taking pit stops In order to ensure that they can make it to the end As Mark Anthony In 5th position Is doing 126 ones Whereas Kurt's last lap Was a 128 7 So well sorry Mark's last lap was a 128 2 seconds over that lap But that could also be in part Due to lap traffic However Mark Anthony Is quicker than anyone else In his class at the moment Having taken that pit stop So we will continue to observe As Barrera is trying To put that pressure on Kurt There's a bit of contact there Absolutely And these 2 drivers are going at it And we will see if It's another fight Like the one he had with Mark Anthony Where Kurt Moss is going to have to defend For their life Or if Kurt Moss will just simply put the hammer down And extend this gap Away from Estefano Barrera Well the legend Of the speed of Kurt Moss Is an international one I know the Venezuelans Will have their fingers crossed For their driver Estefano Barrera Who is having an amazing drive Out here tonight at VIR To see if he can get past Kurt And take possibly even The first win of the series Kurt and again coming up to The arm class here Heading into another crucial section of the track Estefano they are able to Get that car rotated And he's got a better exit than Kurt And we know how powerful the slipstream Is heading onto The start pin is straight here If Estefano can get a run He has to move here Heading down the start pin is straight He's neatly tucked into that slipstream Heading down into the first corner As they come around The first kink Estefano closer than he's before We may see contact again As they did in the last section To the first corner Estefano on the outside Their positioning is perfect But Estefano seems to be able to get a run As they come back now into turn 2 Way past but nothing doing Kurt Moss making that car 15 feet wide As they head into turn 3 You know Estefano will have to wheel And come again Masterclass there from Kurt Moss There is a smile 10 feet wide Across my face almost as wide As Kurt Moss' car is at the moment Because he certainly Positioned that car to ensure That Barrera had nowhere to look In terms of trying to make that move But these two cars look glued together Kale through this section of the track As there is nothing to separate them At the moment And I'm sure Barrera will be thinking What do I do next He will be throwing everything And maybe even including The kitchen sink at this In trying to get this move done As these two drivers Look to be matching pace Corner for corner Straight in I mean I'm lost for words At this stage of the game This fight is rather intense For the top spot here In this Or Round 1 of the multi-class championship And nothing to separate them As Barrera making a move On the outside He looks to have gotten it Done a little bit of contact There made between these two drivers And Kurt Moss seems to have yielded That position at that point And maybe he thinks I'll be the hunter instead of the hunted And see how that works out And it's one of his favorite tactics I've heard him testify to it Kurt Moss will be 10, he will be a second faster Than a first in front of it But stay right on that bumper Pressure them into making their own mistake Kurt Moss is a wily Racing character He utilizes the Mentals even more than The raw talent that he has And he seems to be just backing off a bit Maybe even the tires Giving way there or He's thought better of being so close To the driver ahead of him going up Through this twisty section here The M2 class driver They are letting them by Coming into the pits we never know We saw And Marc Anthony Take a pit stop Back up into fifth position We'll see how that backline falls Quite close to Daniel Velas There is Marc Anthony eating Maybe the strategy was the correct one He is 2 seconds A lap quicker than anybody else on track At the moment With the exception of Steven Pommels That has also taken a pit stop And we will continue to Watch as Marc Anthony Will now put some pressure on Daniel Velas to try and take that position Kurt Moss one and a half seconds Back from Estefana Barrera Not yet mounting The charge that we expected him to mount But eating looks to be able To get this move done Quite swiftly I think Given the pace difference Between these two drivers And so we will see where Marc decides To make this move And he is looking Outside at the moment Heading into Wow and he gets pushed a little wide there But I think that's respectful These two drivers going side by side Both giving each other ample space As Marc does take it down the inside The outside becomes the inside charge And that's a beautiful Overtake I think that's the best overtake I've seen so far in this race Marc really giving us a show Here at VIR He made neat work Of Velas there Into turn six And now we'll charge after Jaden Harrison But Chad let's not forget about The BMW M2 Rahul Nasir Has been holding off Marlon Smith And Pablo Granadillo But a bit of contact between Tura and Granadillo Not sure what happened there But as we say Rubbing is racing It looks as though the gap is opening Between Rahul and Marlon But Actually it's not Marlon It's only half a second behind Rahul It is Granadillo that has really Lost out there He was only a second behind Marlon Smith Sitting in second position But now seems to be losing Pace after that incident With Tyve and Tura And further down the field Further down the order In the M2 class Fairly standard stuff Not many overtakes happening there Ruben Espinosa sitting in I believe fourth position That is fifth position For Ruben Espinosa Correct Followed by Davil Park there Maintaining their positions There maybe they are holding out And waiting until the The last moments of the race To make their move And while we have been riding On board with the M2 Drivers here Kale Estefano Barrera has opened That gap to Kurtmaster almost Wow, 3.6 seconds And I Not sure if maybe Kurtmaster's Tire life has gone away from him completely But Looks to be sitting comfortably In the beat of this race now With about 5 minutes to go Plus an extra lap when time does elapse So not much racing left If there is any charge to be mounted Now would be the time to do so I think Whilst Mark Anthony Keaton Is lapping that much faster Than Jaden Harrison His last lap a second and a half Quicker than Jaden I don't think he will have time To get right back into That fight with Jaden Harrison To take advantage of the Fresher Robo There is about 7 seconds between them At the moment and that would require About 4 ish laps for Mark Anthony To close that gap down To a margin Where he could mount that fight To Jaden But Chad let's not forget about the BMW M2 Drivers We saw how it ruined Kurt's Race after being held up By the M class Drivers And allowing Estefano Barrera To just reel him In Mark may see something similar here But let's see how it unfolds Absolutely and we are seeing how close they are You can see Jaden Harrison up in the distance They are looking To lap a few cars himself Whilst Mark Anthony Keaton Is coming through Narrowing quicker than I thought It is now 5 seconds so you might have been right Kale That lap traffic will play a role here It depends on where these drivers Catch those cars to get by In terms of how They will shape out In this particular section And the gap is still closing It is now just about 4 seconds So maybe there is time For Mark Anthony Keaton to mount a charge here At Jaden Harrison With 3 minutes to go The lap after time elapses So he might just be on the cusp Of being able To take that fight to Jaden And maybe Mark's strategy did pan out As he expected it Because he is now back in that fight For third position Which is the position he was in When he went into the pits And he is going to keep getting faster Chad He is on pressure tiles And the fuel bearing the fuel load Is only getting less and less I am expecting him to even Snatch that fastest lap away from current Monster fastest lap now being A 125.9 Mark Anthony Keaton's last lap A 127.9 but his own fastest lap A 126.1 Just 2 tenths between them In terms of fastest lap Mark here with clear air ahead of him Will definitely be pushing And giving it his all As we come down Into the dying moments Of this race 2 and a quarter minutes left Plus one lap It's still anyone's race We saw current Monster's tires drop off Absolutely We may see the very same thing happen to Jaden 2 seconds now The gap between these two drivers 2.4 seconds And that is coming down A lot faster than we thought Jaden's last lap a 130.5 Mark's last lap Mark is coming up to start finish now And we will see what that time Is A 127.5 So 2 seconds in it Between these 2 drivers in the last lap Mark catching Jaden at a rate of 2 seconds A lap so by the end of this lap He could be right there with Jaden Harrison to mount The fight for the final spot On the podium As long as these lap cars Do not cause him too much headache It looks like they might be doing so As he gets by I'm not sure who that is but he gets by And there is now nobody in between them Jaden Harrison needing One more car to separate them to maybe Hold on to that position The gap now 1.5 ish seconds It is coming down rapidly Kale, these 2 drivers will find themselves Together on track and I mean This continues the argument They are just like magnets But the which way you split it Jaden managed to fight back To close the gap to Mark Mark took a pit stop and still Finds himself here With the upper hand And I think this is exactly what Mark wanted Rather than being the one That is going to be chased He gets to be the aggressor Even though he's going to have one lap To do it, well one last lap Plus another lap to get it done He is now 1.5 seconds behind Jaden Harrison On much fresher tyres I think this strategy has played Right into Mark's hands He was able to think about the race Not only in the moment but a lot of forward Thinking and the strategy is Definitely paying off as we see him closing And ever more on Jaden Harrison Jaden is going to have to defend With all his might here to keep The speed Mark Anthony behind And Jaden seems to Just be Giving him the elbow there But he's not able to Keep that car as planted As Mark is through these corners Mark is Absolutely applying the pressure Almost side by side they're going through turns 5 and 6 Jaden still ahead of Mark Coming up into turn 7 Will he go for a dive down the inside No he does nothing, things better I'll be turning up the hill now He's definitely going to be gaining on Jaden I think where he positions His turn now heading up to here it's possibly The best move for him would be To wait until he comes around To the final two corners To really utilize that slipstream But I suppose he would want to utilize His advantage of having the fresher tyres In the corners but Jaden is Not going to take it lying down at all Chat Absolutely not and this fight continues I think we are now starting the final lap So Mark has one lap to get it Done and looks like he gets a better drive Out of the final corner Jaden Harrison trying to close the door But does not have the grip Or the pace to do so And Mark Anthony it's a drag race Down to turn 1 And Mark has got my head Jaden trying to switch back to the inside chat He's not working he switches back to the outside Tries to break late And go around the outside on the old tyres Jaden trying his very best here But the fresher tyre Is with the less fuel I don't think there's any way That Jaden could have defended that any better And the outcome remains the same chat Mark Anthony The strategy played off And he is comfortably now I believe In third position Sorry to cut you there oh my goodness Wow Jaden Harrison lost it In that moment Oh my goodness probably Got a little bit flustered there seeing Mark Anthony take that position from him And trying to figure out How to drive the car back Into contention but That is rather unfortunate there for Jaden Harrison Mark Anthony Played this one to perfection In terms of his strategy And getting back into the race I Question the decision when he went into the pits I'm not gonna lie But overall He paid it off as Estefano Barrera crosses the line Here in round one Of our multi-class series Kurt Moss will come home in second And Mark Anthony Eaton Having played the strategy Very very brilliantly here This afternoon will come home To take third Let's not forget about the M2 Class Roger Robinson from the very start Has been leading And crosses the line to take the win For his class Rahul Nasir Capitalizing on an incident His fellow drivers finishes in P2 as well Rahul and Marlon Smith Who started on pole Sorry who started in fifth Takes the third spot Pablo Grenadillo Had an incident there with Ruben Espinoza and fell down Into fifth but I think managed to get That position there it was really Popping off in the In the am class there towards the end We didn't get to see it but An amazing drive From all the drivers here today At VIR It was I believe this was some of the most exciting In some of the closest racing I've seen In quite a while there Had excellent driving from all the drivers All around This was brilliant racing up and down In the field the M2 class did their thing The pro-am class Certainly provided us some brilliant racing action Stefano Barrera Hunting down Kurt Moss Stores a lot of stages of that Race I don't know where he Found that pace from Armadillo's old tyres but certainly Made it work Not what I expected to see from Kurt Moss they're taking that second position And Mark Anthony Eaton Playing that strategy ever so brilliantly Managed to come home In third position And I believe we will be talking To Mark Anthony Eaton here Now following The race Mark are you with us Yeah I'm here I mean bold bold Call there sir In terms of that strategy Talk us through what you saw Why you decided to take That pit stop at that stage of the game After Stefano passed me I kind of Realised I didn't Really have the race space Or the tyre management to kind of Keep up with them so I kind of just took To see if they would so if Like I was hoping they'd pit Um so when I Realised that the top three wasn't gonna pit I was like alright I'm gonna have to push a lot harder Than I was planning but um I got back to where I pit it from so I'm happy with that uh Jaden did A really good um Piece of defence to try and hold me up with the ventral I got by him um but yeah I mean that was Brilliant race craft I see You made the decision to be the hunter Rather than the hunted Talk us through the Fight back to get back to That um Battle for the final podium Position Uh yeah one when I When I pit I actually Saw a group of um Of the BMW Cars kind of in front of us I was like I didn't really want to get into Into a scrap of them And waste the tyres even more I just I pit and just pushed as hard as I could Um Everybody in the in the Lancer class Kind of pit right about When I caught up with them so it wasn't really much fighting Um Just getting by I think it was Uh Daniel And Jaden was really the only Um fighting I had to do Majority of it was just trying to do as many hot laps as possible Well brilliant Calls sir and congratulations on Taking the final podium position With that strategy And uh we look forward To seeing what you Will do in the remainder Of this series Okay so that was Mark Anthony Eaton Uh or third place Finisher having Pitted made was the first Driver to make that call and Dived into the pits And made that strategy work We will be Let's see who will be talking to next I will allow you to ask the questions Kale it is Kurt Moss uh or Second place finisher Okay right there First things first Congratulations On taking the Second spot on the podium for First round in the multi-class Series From the very beginning it seems like You had it all sewn up but things In um through that race Walk us through your race first Well basically um I don't know if you would have had the pace To catch me at the end Without um the traffic But I was trying to Maintain a four second gap that I had On Estefano and um But uh This is the What you have to deal with multi-class racing I came upon cars at some very bad Spots and within Like a few seconds Less than half a lap he was On my tail without even Trying so I think Even that helped him to not Hurt his tires anymore More than he should and um After he got past me man I had nothing For my tires were done That was I wanted to call it unfortunate But that was just the racing there Um Estefano getting a bit Lucky with where It's caught the traffic But we saw an absolutely Immaculate defense from you there Kurt Um I believe this would have been the first Time um your first time Battling with Estefano Barreira Coming from the sim racing Venezuela Org What are your thoughts um Did you enjoy that um a little battle there Of course I'm always Down for good racing man Good clean racing does Even if I come second as long as it's good Again I have no issues with it bro So I welcome it Absolutely absolutely So um You did finish out you said um After he passed he didn't have Anything to respond with And that's uh that's a first That's a first coming from you Kurt But um it was excellent Racing we had chatting myself I had so much to talk about um You and Estefano they were giving us The race of a lifetime there so Again and we look forward to seeing You continue to battle

you plan for The eventuality of being left By those cars Yeah you know I'm Usually the one to be in the faster class This was my first time You know I have to navigate the Lancer class You know faster than I was When I saw I tried to pull you know a gap Between the second place I did But I think I lost concentration I saw Kurt and Estefano You know But you know to First place you know they were Really close and I wanted to Not to impede them so I was hoping that I could Catch them like the good part of the Track so I can let them pass But I think When I saw them I kind of Panicked a bit and I lost momentum But After they passed I tried to regain focus And I could have pulled that head again And finished the race Well overall a very Good race from you Leading from Start to finish

Alright yeah It was a great race The start was not the best Of starts that I've ever done I had a great launch already I had myself up into P2 And then realized this BMW Does not break I was holding the brakes for dear life And unfortunately I kind of just went straight Instead of turning for turn 1 Luckily I didn't kill anyone So I'm happy with that But then after it was just you know what Head down we got 40 minutes To bring this back up I know I have the pace To potentially get a podium So that was the goal The cars battling ahead of me And then as soon as I saw P3 and P2 I think come together That was like the golden opportunity To just slide right through Got them both and then it was just Head down we had about 20 minutes To get to the leader Yeah it was a hard fought battle Including you know the guys coming up behind us The wave, the faster class Catching us up in the most Some of the most awkward parts of the track Difficult to let them through But luckily I didn't harm any of their races I did see some lovely battles Going on with them as well But yeah We unfortunately did finish Second but I'll take it It's a great start to This championship and Yeah I can't wait to see what's next Yeah you're definitely going to be Want to watch You know capitalizing Opportunistic move there Between I believe it was Pablo Granadillo And Marlon They're just getting a bit too close For comfort heading into turn seven And you just slip through there Oh my goodness to anyone That was a beautiful move I think it was the move of the race In my book Yeah you know A 40 minute race that mentality Is exactly what we want to see here Race area races And it was fun watching you guys Navigate The race track and each other And the faster class So excellent racing there From you put on an excellent show for us Gave myself and Chad Last to comment about Absolutely And congratulations on this First race podium Awesome thank you so much We're going for the gold That's exactly what we want to hear Good luck with that sir We look forward to seeing The remainder of the races And what you bring to the table Oh for sure yeah this rivalry Is just getting started You heard it Ben He was the answer I love it You heard it straight from the horses No tears Virginia Robinson there with a response It's war I like this let's go It's definitely heating up Chad We're going to see a lot more Close racing here between the drivers At the next time Out they have Mastered VIR And they will be moving on to I believe let me Quickly double check Where they will be moving on to next Starting at VIR they'll be heading to Oran Park next time out So we'll see how the drivers Get Climated to that track And it's going to be A lot more as I say it's going to be war It's good to be war Absolutely we I'm looking forward to that It was great fun calling the action Here this evening Lots of action to cover On the track And certainly we couldn't keep up with all of it But we will Try our best to catch as much of it As we can And once again thank you To our streaming partner sportsmax For Sharing this broadcast with us here This evening we were live on the Sportsmax app whilst We were streaming here on our own channels But certainly A great opening round And we look forward to seeing What comes next Oran Park I believe is where you said And so I look forward to seeing The action provided Then lots of rivalries Developing lots of action To see unfold Any final thoughts To share with our viewers Kale?
