EKSTROM

Ekström

[Nuvol]

MS can't help it, he just can't...

All the better Ekström beat him.

they both did the full warming lap

[Tenmantaylor]

Youre right they did. However, Ekstrom was stationary for a fair while before Schumi pulled up to the line for the 2nd start.

[as65p]

If so, okay.

The commentator on freecast also tought only MS did the full lap, that's where I got the idea from.

[Hacklerf]

Gutted MS didn't win, but Ekstrom is awesome at RoC

[Galko877]

Well done Ekström, well done Schumi!

Michael's never won the RoC but I believe he is the most successful F1 driver in it by being in the individual final three times out of four (and once more in the semi-final) and by winning three Nation's Cup! If him being second (and beating the likes of Button and Vettel during the two days) at the age of 41 the best the antis can celebrate I'm fine with that.

[mstar]

he keeps trying doesn't he? but never cnt do it. i noticed when vettel is down he pushes and pushes and makes mistakes but he was fun to watch

[SeanValen]

,MS has beaten Ekstrom in 2008 I believe? Just wasn't in the final, the guys MS have lost too, he's beaten also, just not in the final, Hekki comes to mind as well.


Gotta be thankful we have Schumacher in it, because Mclaren can't let Hamilton race, Alonso doesn't do it, Kimi does not do it, and those are 3 of the best or the top drivers in f1.

Michael's been the top f1 driver overall, he'll keep on doing it until he gets it, the best to not win it, a great competitor, living life to the full. Never give up.

Great to see Schumacher fighting to the end once again, it's a honour, we probabley won't see another driver like him in our lifetimes

Ekstrom super strong. MS and Vettel excellent (dominating their groups). Nice show. :-)

[z2z]

Indeed, Ekstrom is awesome in RoC. I was shocked when Schumacher won against Vettel ... Its amazing 'old guy' still have it in him

exactly, pensioner with neck injury schooled all but one, but grapes must be reaaal sour for his detractors

[holiday]

Congratulations Ekström. Great from Schumi again.

[Xaus]

Ekstrom can't be stopped...

And the commentator for the Freecast stream is a colossal dumbass.

How many g's do you think they were pulling?

Good show by him anyway, and great again by Ecky

[tkulla]

Pretty impressive performance by Button as well, especially considering he wasn't that strong last year. This time he seemed a match for Shumi and Vettel.

[Big Block 8]

Ekstrom or Hirvonen.

So it was Ekstrom again. Schumacher did well, but it was a bit odd that he was driving the X-bow practically all the time, at least when it counted. If the cars are randomly given he surely got an advantage from it this time.

[Simon Says]

Who won the nation's cup? I suppose Vettel & MS again I suppose for Germany.

[dank]

Who'd have thought eh? About as predictable as night following day...

[Big Block 8]

Yup Germany did. USA got close in dropping them though (Tanner Foust won against Schumi, Vettel won against Travis Pastrana and then won again against Foust in a tie break, but it was tight). Overall Germany was the best team regardless, Vettel was just awesome and Schumi very good too.

[rally man]

Ekström is phenomenal driver. Schumi had driven those two cars whole weekend contrary to Ekström.. Ekström's last lap with the buggie was awesome. The way he went to the first corner was impressive.

[GIBF1]

I thought Mick Doohan was the star of the show

How many cars did he spin or bin?

I thought it was Schumi who won decider?

[GIBF1]

I thought it was Schumi who won decider?

It was Vettel, Foust cocked up the tight last corner on the outside lane

I've got to say i enjoyed watching the two days, especially DC and his crystal balls interview

Even though you couldn't see the interviewers face you could tell he must of been whincing

Schumi won the decider in the finals.

And the commentator for the Freecast stream is a colossal dumbass.

He's really not. He's a great commentator, always excellent for radio Le Mans and I only heard him make one mistake during the freecast coverage.

[pinnacle racing]

I'm curious as to the attendance for the event. Was there a lot of spectators in the stands?

Didn't look a big crowd for day one, but day two looked good.

Utter truth... well, maybe he made several mistakes, but it was definitely not John Hindaugh's environment to be commenting on the RoC.

Foust beat Shumi I heard.. ?
