4 FOR THE TITLE. OH NO! MAKE IT 3!

Unfortunately, Oliver Rowland of Nissan will miss the entire weekend due to illness.
Will be replaced by Caio Collet!
 

There goes his championship title contention chances!

Cassidy VS Wehrlein VS Evans for the title, they are the 3 names that are in realistic contention.

I do not know if i can watch this on the days as i need to check my fire tablet 

[thegamer23]

Race day 1 begins in Portland!

 

Free Practice 2 coming in 15 mins!

 

[RSRally]

I do love how the cars look on this track when pushing, fast and twitchy!

[thegamer23]

Yes, they do look great around Portland when pushing!!

[thegamer23]

FP2 Results

 

Incredible performance by Caio Collet, who's replacing Rowland this weekend.  

Can he keep it up in quali? 

 

 

QP in less than 40 minutes!

 

Edited by thegamer23, 29 June 2024 - 16:02.

[thegamer23]

Green Flag for Quali!

[thegamer23]

Two NIO's going to the Duels, that's a change!

Cassidy and Wherlein out of the final phase of qualifying, while Evans is in!

[Disgrace]

Fenestraz is surely finished. Collet parachuted in and outqualifies him immediately.

[Disgrace]

This is great from Nato, it secures himself a sensible starting place after his penalty.

[thegamer23]

Nato had flashes of speed through the season, good to see him fighting for a pole, even if this would be a virtual one given his grid penalty.

Edited by thegamer23, 29 June 2024 - 18:02.

[thegamer23]

EVANS gets Pole in Portland!

Front row start and 3 points for him, very important for his title challenge!
Cassidy and Wehrlein will have to climb up positions in the race to not loose ground to the Kiwi!

Race 1 starts at 22.00 GMT+1 time!

Boy … NXT drivers are all the rage.
Great post from…… your Phone?

[thegamer23]

Robert Wickens back in a single seater after 6 years!

The only track that is used by professional sports series that I've run on.  I thought it was a bit boring because it is flat, but I did have an exciting spin at the chicane!  I thought it was cool to be running on a track that I'd seen IndyCars race on.

[RSRally]

Yes, they do look great around Portland when pushing!!

Actually a shame we won't get to see the Gen3 Evo here with 4wd and more grip!

[thegamer23]

-15 min to Race 1!

[Jellyfishcake]

How many grid penalties are there!

[thegamer23]

Here we go!

[thegamer23]

Hughes in the grass!

[Jellyfishcake]

Puncture, thought it looked like he had one when he went off the track.

 

Edit: when did Evans lose his front wing endplate?

Edited by Jellyfishcake, 29 June 2024 - 21:14.

[thegamer23]

Pretty civilized pack racing so far.

But I smell drama incoming.

Did he give Hughes the puncture?

[thegamer23]

It's anybody's win!

[Jellyfishcake]

Did he give Hughes the puncture?

Would seem it from the stewards decision.

 

He'll have trouble scoring big points today, unless there is a big gap pulled later on 

[thegamer23]

Penalty for Evans

[thegamer23]

Go time!

[Jellyfishcake]

Jag have messed this one I think

[thegamer23]

Cassiddy lost it!!!!

Drama!

[Jellyfishcake]

Vandoorne really struggles compared to Vergne when the races are heavy energy save/pelaton style.

 

Da Costa trying to save his FE career with a late flurry of race wins 

[thegamer23]

I did not expect this ending!!

Cassidy is lucky that Evans got that penalty, cause it could have been close in the standings.

DAC WINS!
The man is on a charge!!

[Ben1445]

Welllllll daaaamnnn

Good race.

Decent strategic interest throughout, interesting tracking how different approaches panned out. Commentary team getting better at reading the situation and explaining it to the viewers, which I think helps a lot.

Painful for Jaguar (and me, since I have a soft spot for the Jags)…

…but a fun outcome for a close title fight.

[RSRally]

Decent race, they didn't look too slow for a pelotony race and the circuit gives them enough space to be clean too.

[Junky]

DAC!

The driver with more wins this season so far.

(and fair play to him on Evans)

Edited by Junky, 29 June 2024 - 21:44.

[Jellyfishcake]

If he hadn't been DSQ from a win earlier this season too, he'd actually be right in the battle now for the championship

[maximilian]

Haven't seen one of these races in a long time now.  Well, that was entertaining.  Insane to have "7 wide" on the straight.  Have they all been like this lately? 

[thegamer23]

Morning! 

Another day, another race in Portland!

Just 3 left, counting today and the London's Season finale double header of mid July.

 

Relive yesteday's dramatic action!
 

 

 

 

 

 

With yesterday's unexpected results, the championship battle is getting tigher and tigher.

Another bad race for Cassidy and it's going to be wide open!

Robert Wickens FE test run

The man pushed hard!! 

 

[Disgrace]

Damn, what a blunder from Cassidy. Had the race in the palm of his hand, all the support he needed, and still threw it away.

[thegamer23]

Qualifying for Race 2 going on in Portland! 

[thegamer23]

That was a crucial lap by Wherlein, getting into the duels!

Dennis bottles it! 

[Disgrace]

Important for Fenestraz to get one back over Collet.

[thegamer23]

Duels coming up!

Should be some of the fastest ever FE laps coming in, so hang tight! 

Edited by thegamer23, 30 June 2024 - 17:24.

[thegamer23]

Da Costa just put in a great lap to beat Wehrlein in the quarter finals!
 

No team orders in Porsche, that's for sure!

Really nice to see da Costa save his career, he was on the ropes in the early season.

[thegamer23]

That was a great final duel between DAC and JEV, Jev takes pole!
