VLN, Round 10, 26/10/2013

Markus Palttala and Stefan Landmann won the final race of the season finishing 6th overall in the process. After a season filled with bad luck and accidents, the entire RTR powered by SIMFYmusic team was happy to finish on a high.

“Finally! We’ve lead several times this season but this was the first time we crossed the line first. I’m really happy for everyone in the team, because we kept pushing until the end and it paid off. The race was tough as it started wet and then went from mixed to dry. I took the lead in the first lap and pulled away. However, we stayed on wets a bit too long and after the first round of pitstops I had dropped to 3rd in class, over a minute behind the leaders. I pushed like crazy to come back and after the next pitstop, Stefan started his stint just a couple of seconds behind the leading duo. He did a great run passing our competitors and during the last hour I just had to manage the gap and avoid trouble. The Simfy Porsche #110 handled well, pitstops by the RTR crew were spotless and we both drove without mistakes. It was nice to confirm that when all pieces fall together, we are on top.”
