Race report by Mustafa ALP

I arrived at Cyrpus on Friday and met the Serpent team, it was a free day so we had a lot of fun doing things that we cant do in Turkey
Saturday was scheculed to have 2 hours of free practise and then 6 controlled practises. I found out that there was a sensor issue in my motor, I tried to fix it in that 2 hours of free practise with no joy… I had no option but to use my motor sensorless. It was very hard to drive as it gave awkward reactions sometimes. In free practise Arman Maralan and Ahmet Tekelioglu used most of the time getting used to the track and trying different setups to improve rear traction.

Race report of Estonian Onroad series 4th race

Hi Ronald, first of all we would like to thank you for your support, thank you for believing in us and giving us a chance J

About the race: race was rather small, only 7 drivers. The day started hard, in trainings ( had 2 trainings) and in qualifications (3 quals) the car was quite hard to drive, the back end was really slippery. I’m used to drive with a good back end grip. So we had little problems with the setup plus one servo and spurgear broke up. I was the 6th in the qualifiers.

For the finals we changed some setup (lowered roll center and changed shock oil) and then the car was just great to drive – fast, very stable and had a high grip. I was 0.4 seconds faster than the 2nd place guy and almost 1 second faster than others, so the car was really fastJ.

The 1st final was great, start was clean, I was 2nd at the end of the first lap. The guy, who was driving in the 1st place, made a little mistake and I overtook him, so I had the lead of 2 second and it was growing. I won that final.

The 2nd final was almost the same as the first, 2nd at the end of the 1st lap and I was much faster than the 1st position guy. Overtook him and won the final.

So, I had already won the race, but I always drive the 3rd final too.

The 3rd final was easy again, everything was same as before, so I won all the finals with  cap about 2 laps.

The race was great, we learnt some good things about the car, now we know what to do if the back end isn’t working so good and we can setup the car even better now.

If you like, we’ll send you report on every race.

Best regards,

Jörg Miikael Tiit (driver) and Jaanus Tiit (mechanic)
