Formula GTD Day 1

Day one of GTD1 got off to a flying start yesterday with 4 seperate battles at suzuka east. Being the first up, Chris and Hayden were right to be nervous, this battle could make or break there chances of success. A mistake on the first run left Hayden lacking and gave Chris a 10 point lead. Going into round 2 Hayden pulled off a much better run but with such a mistake in the first round, Chris won the battle 17-3.

Round 2 between Johan and Robin was a much closer affair. Johan turned up 1/2 and hour late after going drifting on a frozen lake and getting the car stuck. The first round saw robin take an early lead after Johan had 2 wheels on the grass. Johan came back with a killer run which coupled with a bad spin from Robin gave him the win.

The third battle was between Saigo and Kaizer was hard fought. In the first run, Seigo span out on the first

corner, but was consistent through the rest of track, saving him one point for a 1-9.

The second run was incredible, showing excellent control from both drivers scoring them 5-5. SKR-Kaizer wins with 15-5

The final battle was between Nathan and Jimmy and was the only one I managed to watch live.An extremely close battle, with nice runs from each side. First round was 6-4 to Jimmy after Nathan made a few mistakes.

Second round was 7-3 to Jimmy, due to a couple of corrections and two wheels off track at 2 points. With a final score of 13-7 Jimmy is through to the next round!

Thats all for day 1 of the Formula GTD, stay tuned for day two coming soon!
