ELGOGETAMAN BETTER CALLED SAUL TO WIN THE OPENER OF SEASON 11 ON ZANDVOORT!
Saul Goatman has won the opener while wildcarding for his
countryman Elgogetaman in Mercedes. Within a second of him were Vithjalmen in McLaren and Cajoco in Alpine to fill the podium…
Saul Goatman (Leegoat) has been called urgently to represent
Elgogetaman in last minute, in the %100 length opener of Season 11 in A1881. He
was the only in the front pack to switch to softs after the exit of last SC,
feeling confident of tyre management after all those years in Haas… Him,
Vithjalmen and Cajoco gave a fascinating battle within the DRS distance of each
other for some 20+ laps after the track went dry and saving of ERS to last laps didn’t help any one of
them since all did the same. This brought Elgogetaman his first week to lead
the WDC in his A1881 career…
Behind this alien pack we had the Turkish gang, led by
Burtay in Ferrari. He had a strong pace in his last stint on hards and wasn’t
even threatened by Rollie or Altan. Rollie in Ferrari and Altan in Mercedes
gave us a Hakkinen – Schumacher nostalgia and Rollie came up on top of this
battle by overtaking Altan in last lap with better management of ERS. Haggisnt
in Alpine had a better pace than this Turkish trio but he suffered a
self-inflicted spin to make him settle for P7, yet he claimed the fastest lap
and this single point brought Alpine over Ferrari in WCC. Behind him in 8th was Rothnz in Haas, swallowing the dust of Rollie… LOI_Idyllanno finished
at P9 in Alfa Romeo where he brought important wildcard points to his champion
countryman Rianc. P10 was Mrmccann in Aston Martin, having stronger pace at
first half of the race than the second. Tbran in McLaren finished at P11 in his
first race as a full time driver in A1881 and McLaren, after insisting on
staying on slicks when everyone switched to inters. Kast1908 was also another
driver in his first full time race and he came 12th in Redbull. Selecta in
Williams was excluded from end results because AI drove for him after his
connection issues and this made Sir Ibbo in Alphatauri to be classified as
13th, once more as the last driver alive on track…
Kingdom drove with a good pace in Haas but retired the car in pits after some 45 laps, bringing himself his first eggplant of the season.
Jonboi also was eggplanted in his first full time race. Butcher and Cmrcnn were
the usual eggplant lovers. Valward in Alfa Romeo and Dan in Aston were
eggplanted too after Valward’s spin and Dan’s unlucky ending in his sidepot.
The excitement in A1881 will continue next Sunday, to have
our first league race under shiny Vegas lights!
