2020-2 Trans L'American Series - Round 3: Lime Rock Park

Live Stream: https://youtu.be/MrTEwyrX_3k

Round 3 is over and it was as exciting as ever.  Hamilton suffered some technical glitches despite a strong performance, similar to last visit at Lime Rock.  But it was certainly hot action at the sharp end of the field (and landmines in the back).

Race 1:

With Tnadz the only driver at the front of the field for the start, the other Pro class drivers were pressing hard through the field.  At one point, Egg was forced off at the West Bend but recovered and pushed all the way to the end.  Zolecki encountered a car being dropped in his engine bay but still held on for a 12th finish despite the crippling damage.  The Bear was able to pick his way through the wreckage for a solid 29th and Tnadz, despite his last lap run-in, only just held on to the lead as a hungry Egg came charging through the gap for a .06 second split for second.

Race 2:

With pretty much all drivers at the back, except Zolecki, it was looking like it'd be a slam dunk victory for the 008.  However, he was caught up in a few other cars, got some damage, and though he was fighting back, he was eventually run straight into a wall at top speed by an AI who was suddenly veering around for no reason.  The Bear was a casualty who was caught up in the aftermath of one of those mentioned run-ins.  Tnadz was the next likely successor after watching Egg get taken out at the chicane but he too suffered mistakes by other drivers and fell down the order.  He was able to claw back to the penultimate position but The Egg was just a little too far up the track to be caught.

Next up is Le Petite LeMans at Road Atlanta.
