GRATS Pavel and Paul big hand to you
and Congratulation to your Championship win Paul and to your third place Fabian.
I had a great lap in practice and pole again The start was ok but Yannick overtook me even on the first straight and I didn't had any chance to fight back because my 1 to 1 wing setup hadnt enough top speed. So I had to wait for a mistake he would make - and he did - at the end of lap 6. From that moment on the race was run and totally boring - what a pity made my 5th Hockenheim win and have not really fun with it.
I missed Stefan (get well soon) and some others again but I was happy to see Ronnie and Lance again on the grid.
THX to the best admin on earth THX to you Paul for organize that great season.
THX to you Paul, Stefan and Anders for great fights.

Thanks guys.

Well done Uli for winning six out of the ten races. And Fabian for good scoring all season with the Lotus 63.

I only won a single race but I had one less non finish than Uli, and that was enough to take the Championship by a few points.

Ferrari won a championship at last

Uli: Congratulations with the race win and 2e place in the championship!
One tech/problem to much and there goes jour glory.

Paul: Thanks for the fun exciting race, your admin job, and congrats with the championship win.
I envy your driving skills.

Pavel: Well done mate! Excellent passing! Also thanks for the fun last night! Not a great season for you I guess with 50% DNF.
Although you are behind me in the championship I believe you are a better driver as me!

Fabian: . . . . . . 3e!!!
Your podium place is well deserved. It's not easy to finish all races, respect compadre!

Anders: Thank you for your admin work and jobs done.
I have great respect for you racing speed in these 69x cars, sorry you had to much bad luck.

Stefan: I hope you get better soon, we all missed you at the track last two races. Thanks Chief for hosting a server for us!

Alain: Having the most DNF's I admire your perseverance (a persévérance), it's great to race with you Alain, fast but not faultless, sorry if I have made racing-life difficult for you.

Bastian, Yannick, Konstantin, Lance and Ronnie, thank you for racing!


All in all not a easy season.

Thanks to you guys for racing the season.

[Fabian]

thanks to Lance it was not a lonely race. Initially I felt held up as he didn't have much confidence through the turns in the early going but I quickly realized that I was even too slow and useless on the straights to even do tandem with him. As he was slower in the turns and (waaay) quicker on the straights I intended to be in front of him through Ostkurve and the stadium section but I was too slow to put it into practice. Only once it worked out and just then I did a poor job by poor driving.
But at least sticking around made the race less dull - until he retired for some reason.

Thanks everyone for the congratulations though I don't think I did an above average job. I'd think most drivers in an Lotus63 sould still end up ahead of me competing in a say Brabham or Matra...
But it is in deed nice to have not streaks of DNFs for a change (sort of opposite of desastrous 2018)
(by the way: I may not always drive "112%" but I certainly don't drive "just-arriving" attitude either - though my laptimes might suggest otherwise... )
It started with a mis-read but now I'm glad I picked the Lotus. NEVER would have thought to even get beyond the lower end of the ranking...

Grats Uli for the victory! (what a winning streak..! )
Grats Paul for the Championship!!

Season's over here for me as I don't do Sportscars. See you maybe at some fun-/special-event or else next year.
Thanks to all who organize everything and for all the work around it.
Thanks all participants --- there's a bunch of quick enthusiasts..!
see you on track!
