CPI_JORDAN WINS AT INTERLAGOS!

CPI_Jordan has reached his second A1881 career win on Brazil with his Sauber after a dominant show. His long term rival and countryman AA_Mejg followed him in second place in VisaRB. Rian filled podium in Williams right ahead of his teammate...


Jordan was the only hard compound runner in the front pack and tried to stay away from trouble but within DRS of AA_Mejg who started on mediums and Endru on softs. The safety car entered after Gordini’s retirement on Lap 11, to favor the medium runners and give them a chance to safely see the end with fresh hards. Despite looking on back foot by having to go till the end with mediums, Jordan benefited from the race-long battling between Mejg, Selecta, Endru and Rian and pulled away around 5 seconds, until his tyres finally started to die off. Last few laps the gap was down to 3 seconds but it was too late for Mejg and others to catch up. This gave Jordan his second win in A1881, along with a giant leap in standings up to P7, right behind his countryman Rothnz. He seemed to be aiming more for next season, upon being asked about his season goals:

CPI_Jordan: The aim this season is just to get some momentum, and continue winning and getting more used to the car for next season. Despite my struggles today with chronic understeer, winning today is a good sign for the future. Hopefully this will continue, and help me get more wins next season and maybe win the whole thing…

AA_Mejg could have gotten more if he didn’t spin at the exit of safety car. He needed to spend most his time recovering from this mistake and eventually be involved in the fight for P2. This poidum of his in Saul’s car which he had an incident with last week, brought Visa RB right in the middle of the fight for WCC. Rian reached podium in his Williams first time after his first and only win on Monza this season. Together with his teammate Endru following him in P4, Williams clinched the lead in WCC back from Mercedes after last week. Endru kept his championship lead with this, pulling a Verstappen-like second half of the season, by not winning but continuing to extend his lead. He is now only 13 points away from claiming his second title in a row, on the penultimate race of the season at Suzuka.

Selecta finished P5 in Mercedes, after his long fight for P2 ending with a spin. Dunce showed good pace and also a remarkable improvement by not receiving any penalties, which he usually suffered throughout the season. This P6 in race brought him P5 in championship, to the spot where he could potentially be picking a track for next season. Dan the Man in Ferrari finished P7, getting rid of 4 eggplants at once with a relatively good pace, after many unlucky races. Tvoje finished P8, after some battling and a controversial incident with Rollie. Bhavish finished P9 by choosing to pit for inters when there were only 2 laps to go. Rollie had okay pace in Ferrari and could’ve gotten one or two positions more, if he didnt suffer the spin after Tvoje’s contact and an illegal overtake penalty after passing the spinning car of Mejg at SC exit. Tarkangino finished P11 in Alpine, after serving his quali ban. P12 we had Slowfiveohh in Redbull for his debut race, showing okay pace and consistency for his first race. Justin in Aston finished 13rd and got rid of four eggplants at once together with Dan. Crunchypancake drove safe and steady to reach finish line 14th and getting closer to Sir Ibbo in standings, who was once more the last driver alive on track with P15 in his Sauber…

Gordini found himself unluckily in the wall after his wheel got disconnected by itself, while he was putting in a good team performance in Mercedes together with Selecta. Varea retired in pits after many contacts with many drivers. Haggisnt found himself in the wall while reserving in Haas after a long while…

We are heading to legendary Suzuka next week, for Round 9 of Season 15 in A1881!

ENDRU SNATCHES DRAMATIC LAST-LAP WIN IN WET-DRY BELGIUM THRILLER

Image
Endru delivered a stunning victory at Spa for Williams, securing his first win of the season after a chaotic 44-lap race that transitioned from dry to wet in the final stages. He narrowly beat Ferrari’s NaeDangerDavid and Aston Martin’s AA_Mejg, who stormed from the very back of the grid after serving what can be called a “mental quali ban” to finish third... The Belgian Grand Prix began under dry skies, with NaeDangerDavid starting from pole and immediately defending hard. Endru, starting from P12, surged through the field, reaching second by lap five and managing his tires and fuel expertly. His early pace gave him a large advantage, but a mid-race safety car erased his 15-second lead. At the restart, Endru rebuilt a gap quickly but received a drive-through penalty that dropped him back. Determined to recover, he fought his way forward and reeled in David again—just as rain began to fall. The late rain turned the race into a high-risk strategy battle. David opted to pit for intermedi...

In a dramatic feature race at Interlagos – the only sprint weekend in A1881 history – AA_Mejg took a hard-earned victory for Aston Martin, followed by newly crowned Season 19 world champion Jordan in the Alpine, with NaeDangerDavid delivering another impressive Ferrari drive to claim third. The championship fight for P2 and P3 in the WDC remains alive, as does the battle for the Williams–Alpine WCC crown, heading into the Las Vegas finale.. .

But in the feature race, starting from P5, Mejg quickly dispatched rivals, climbing to third within the first two corners. After chasing and passing Rian’s Williams by lap 4, he seemed in control, only to be briefly undercut by both Endru and Rian during the pit cycle. Showing the determination of a three-time champion, Mejg retook both positions and then managed the gap un...

SV5 MASTERS THE CARNAGE AT JEDDAH SEASON OPENER

Image
The Saudi Arabian GP kicked off the new season in brutal fashion, with SV5 taking a commanding win under the lights of Jeddah ahead of Bards and his teammate Selecta. The podium set the tone for a chaotic opener that was a likely scenario for Jeddah, more so when cockpit cam is forced... From pole, SV5 looked razor-sharp in his new Racing Bulls machinery, especially with the usual title heavyweights Jordan and Mejg absent, leaving the spotlight wide open. When the lights went out, that spotlight turned into a floodlight of chaos almost instantly. A massive first-lap incident at Turn 3 saw Justin clatter into NaeDangerDavid, with Elche also collected, triggering the first safety car and causing widespread damage down the field. Gordini was among those carrying wounds for the rest of the race, nursing underbody damage but somehow surviving it, having to pit on hards to change wing, which turned out to be a good choice with the second safety car. Up front, SV5, Bards in the Williams, and ...
