2017 SEASON 1 1:10 ELECTRIC TC 13.5T SPEC ROUND 4 CARPET 3
Carpet 3 circuit was hosting 4th round of 1:10 electric touring spec serie. French Xavier Deparde was holding serie lead after three rounds with full points and we just wanted to see, was there anybody, who could challenge this 36 years old onroad talent. Ok, at this event there was lot talents to do so, but with Xavier you have to be very precise, fast and consistent.
First two rounds of this event, qualifying and semifinal, went to Deparde, but we were glad that we had got some challenger who was driving very similar pace as Deparde.
Double Worldchampion Andrea Giordano was furios, and was half second behind Deparde at qualifying and gained his pace for the semi, losing only 0.026s to Deparde.
Norwegian Mathias Nedrebo was third fastest in semifinal, 4.1 behind Deparde.
Deparde, Giordano and Nedrebo solved PRO level podium
Final was as tight as we hoped and expected. From the start, Giordano got the lead and was setting the pace. First ten laps Giordano and Deparde had furios tight battle, they swapped positions and it looked that victory of this, was two mans deal. But Deparde was just too strong, he was more consistent and faultless than Giordano and this solved victory to Xavier. Giordano instead, had few hungry corner cuttings and he got huge pressure from Nedrebo. Honestly, Nedrebo had gained his pace and pressured Giordano in very close range. Finally, at last lap, two corners before finishline, Giordano got his third cut and Nedrebo passed him. SO, Deparde crossed the line first, Nedrebo was second and Giordano third. Next positions went to Yeung, Saputra and Löb. These three had also big fight of fourth place, finally Yeung was strongest and won this battle.
Yeung, Löb and Saputra had very tight battle
SPORT level race was won by Japanese driver 尚程 金子. He was 5.4s faster than second place driver, American Manuel Weber. Weber instead had to make full job to gain that second place, as Finnish driver Anssi Hartikainen was on his tale. Finally Anssi had to settle for third place, 0.7s behind Weber.
This SPORT level final was also very tight battle of 2-6 positions. Weber, Hartikainen, Pryor, Kornilov and Antomarchi were all inside 4s when race ended. This was nice, this is what we need. GREAT FINAL GUYS!
In CLUB level Japanese driver Obata Hideki was on his own. He won this race over 6s margin to Ryusuke Yamaji. Third place went to German driver Phil Schai.

How do I enter these events?
And must I be a paying member?
FROM WEBSITE:
+check from website, click "events", look the list of "all current events"
(you can participate those official events wich have first round going, weekly races have only one round)
after you have decided, what race you want to participate:
AFTER YOU HAVE LOADED THE SIM:
+choose specific car for choosed event(you can participate with spec car to modified race)
+choose specific track for choosed event
+click "events" and search the race what you choosed from website to participate
You have to have items(tracks) to participate particular races, for example this Carpet 3 track is not included in F2P license tracks. SO you have to have better license than F2P to participate races at this track.
Somebody will explain some more, my english is limited :)
F2P= Free to Play
