SAF4 - Curitiba - Race 1

21:23	SAF4_Curitiba_1	That's a sensational qualifying here at Curitiba
21:23	SAF4_Curitiba_1	as championship contender Aria Hevel completely botches it and only lines up in 22nd place!
21:23	kevinbotz	I mean, it's still shit, but it isn't *as* shit as it would've been had the injury occurred in February, or March.
21:24	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Great disappointment for the Anguillan girl, which has always been a consistent qualifying with a somehow lacking race pace
21:24	SAF4_Curitiba_1	*qualifier
21:27	SAF4_Curitiba_1	but let's go back to business - Gianluca Petecof is in pole followed by Sandoval and Rodriguez
21:27	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Rodriguez could make a serious step towards her championship today
21:27	SAF4_Curitiba_1	but the real surprise today
21:28	SAF4_Curitiba_1	is Enzo Fittipaldi, who's sitting in fourth!
21:28	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Could it be his second point finish of the season?
21:30	SAF4_Curitiba_1	We're underway as Rodriguez slips through Sandoval for second place! Petecof still P1!
21:30	SAF4_Curitiba_1	but it's Enzo who botches the start and loses five places in a corner!
21:32	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Petecof <-0.9-> Rodriguez <-1.9-> Sandoval, Castillo and Garcia, all together in a group
21:32	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Sandoval retakes P3
21:33	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Hevel is 23rd, by the way, that's a horrific day for her
21:33	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Second lap done. Garcia can't get through Castillo, while Rodriguez closely follows Petecof at the front
21:34	SAF4_Curitiba_1	First good thing of the day for Enzo as he slips through Collet, P8 for him!
21:35	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Petecof has put some space between himself and RR
21:35	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Andres!
21:35	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Just a couple of inches shy of overtaking Collet!
21:36	SAF4_Curitiba_1	She makes it, setting fastest lap in the process!
21:37	SAF4_Curitiba_1	She's ninth now, as her teammate Alvarez lets her through
21:37	SAF4_Curitiba_1	*eighth
21:37	SAF4_Curitiba_1	At the front, there's still 1 s between Petecof and Rodriguez
21:38	SAF4_Curitiba_1	while the cameras catch Andres overtaking Fittipaldi for P7
21:39	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Four laps to go
21:39	SAF4_Curitiba_1	RR is close now
21:39	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Slipstream on the main straight...
21:39	SAF4_Curitiba_1	and off she is into P1!!!
21:41	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Three laps to go!
21:41	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Mistake for Rodriguez at the first corner, and Petecof comes incredibly close to her
21:42	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Petecof slips through!
21:42	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Rodriguez will be furious with herself, let's see if she's able to recover
21:43	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Last lap !
21:44	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Raquel tries everything!
21:44	SAF4_Curitiba_1	But she fails and Petecof storms onto the win!
21:44	SAF4_Curitiba_1	And...
21:45	SAF4_Curitiba_1	it's a win for Gianluca Petecof!
21:45	SAF4_Curitiba_1	With Raquel Rodriguez and Oscar Sandoval completing the podium!
21:45	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Hevel finishes a sad 25th
21:47	SAF4_Curitiba_1	Fastest lap - guess it - for Verania Andres
