[Duby]

thanks for the new vids they are great !!!

in the 2nd race you allow the red GTV to pass you ...why is that ?

(prepering a sud Ti for racing now )

That is the car that stalled on the start of the first race, normally he is way faster then me, also he's in another group and therefore not competing with me = no reason for me to delay him.

o.k

which classes do you have there ?

[BigSwede]

Just four different classes based on a calculated power to weight.

[Duby]

are there any alfa-sud in your championship as i only saw rwd alfas ...?

[BigSwede]

One Sud (soon to be joined by another), a sud sprint and a sud sprint Turbo, a 164 3.0 and one 155Q4.

Right, more video...

Knutstorp, round 4 of the series. Sadly I fcuked up in round 3 and ran out of battery on the warm up lap.
This one is quite interesting though, for the first time I'm the first car on the track. The new tires are very good starting and braking but a bit slippery in the turns as you will see.

Second place, still too nice!

Last weekend I went racing at Kinnekulle, another tight twisty track. Hot day and everybody had problems with grip, or the lack there of.

hi

well saw again all he season you have and it looks to me that your driving got more agressive...and it might be that this is what give you a better results ...

how you know which car is in your class and which not - when you let them pass you ?

I agree, my driving is more agressive now and I use chances I get much better now. Much more comfortable in the car as well, I know how it will react and that makes me more confident.
But there is naturally room for improvement, I still do stupid, stupid mistakes.

I recognize the cars pretty easily in the rear view mirror, all the cars have pretty unique looks when you know what to look for, I also know what their starting position is so it's really not difficult to see.

Mats,

great footage but most of all great driving. I really mean it. It looks like you 've got a natural talent on racing, which gives you a great sense of knowing when, where and how much to risk. It's also obvious that the car is set up very well and you are completely and fully aware of its capabilities and limits.

Competitors also seem to drive pretty well too ! You all seem to perform pretty well under pressure, with too few mistakes.

Keep it up, and please please keep sharing.

Thanks Nikos!

I'm looking into getting some more camera gear actually so you know I will continue sharing. I'll try to get a wider angle lens and maybe a second camera.
