IDS rd. 4

the car was repaired and ready for the 4th round at the lower course at the Nürburgring GP track. A very fast track - apex speeds thru the "Schumacher-S" were at around 120 - 125 kph.

I really liked that track, but had technical problems again (broken gearbox and a snapped drive shaft / axle). In the qualification i blew a boost pipe off and only did 1 qualification lap - enough to qualify on 6th position.

I lost my first Battle against one of the polish guys. He simply overtook me in the first run on the inside. There was nothing i could do as my tires were cold and i washed out. An agressive but fair maneuver - drifting should always be like this!


3 days after the event i´ve received a phone call from the IDS orga telling me i got a 3 or 4 point penatly because i only did 1 instead of 3 qualification runs.

Okay thats it, im out of this stupid series - i was so upset about what drifting became in germany. Other drivers complaining and asking for penaltys for nothing - that no fun!
