Fuji 2019 Race 2

09:54	F5KFuji	We are now ready to rock and roll here at Fuji Speedway for race 2 of three
09:55	F5KFuji	Mitch Evans is in red hot form, winning race one despite starting down in 11th position
09:55	F5KFuji	Can he go five in a row today?
09:55	F5KFuji	We're about to find out as we're go in Fuji!
09:55	F5KFuji	Lloyd gets a great jump off the front row to go second into turn 1
09:55	F5KFuji	But he doesn't have the momentum to go into the lead
09:56	Miguel98	wait.
09:56	Miguel98	Lloyd did things?
09:56	Miguel98
09:56	Miguel98	that's a second podium in a row man
09:56	Miguel98	he's finally coing
09:56	F5KFuji	Heimgartner goes around in the midfield at turn 5
09:56	Miguel98	where did Rogers finish?
09:56	F5KFuji	14th
09:56	Dom	damn, no Alex Rullo in that series
09:56	F5KFuji	And here we go
09:56	Dom	up and coming talent etc.
09:57	Miguel98	hey
09:57	F5KFuji	McLaughlin goes side by side with Lloyd down the front straight
09:57	Miguel98	Rullo isn't that bad.
09:57	F5KFuji	And takes 2nd from Lloyd
09:57	Dom	or Mostert
09:57	Dom	damn
09:57	F5KFuji	Stanaway gives Belcher similar treatment
09:57	F5KFuji	Belcher is falling back at an alarming rate
09:57	F5KFuji	As he loses another spot to Robertson
09:58	F5KFuji	Simpson meanwhile bullies Aaren Russell to submission to regain Position 8
09:58	F5KFuji	Scotty Pye is the latest to line up a move on Belcher
09:58	F5KFuji	But can't get the job done into turn 1, and loses a spot to Simpson on exit
09:59	F5KFuji	Belcher runs wide through turn 4 however, and relinquishes both spots
09:59	F5KFuji	As we have some midfield shenanigans between Klark Quinn and Lee Holdsworth
10:00	F5KFuji	Stanaway is in no mood to hang around
10:00	F5KFuji	Taking third from Lloyd with extreme prejudice
10:00	F5KFuji	And off goes Lloyd!
10:00	Dom	rip Miguel
10:01	F5KFuji	He loses the rear end through the high-speed turn 4 and off into the runoff he goes!
10:01		*** Petoli quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
10:01	F5KFuji	Robertson does a good job to avoid the out-of-control BRM
10:02	F5KFuji	We now cut to Alex Premat in the second Triple 8 car
10:02	F5KFuji	After some early podiums, he's struggled for form in the #88 machine
10:02	F5KFuji	He currently sits 13th behind Lee Rogers
10:02	F5KFuji	Speaking of Rogers, he muscles Russell out of the way
10:03	F5KFuji	Putting the Peak car out of the race
10:03	F5KFuji	And we have a move for third place
10:04	F5KFuji	Robertson makes a dive down the inside of Stanaway
10:04	F5KFuji	And takes the position from the Kiwi
10:05	F5KFuji	And we have another collision between Dean O'Lauchlan and Andre Heimgartner
10:05	F5KFuji	O'Lauchlan's day is done
10:05	F5KFuji	Stanaway has taken the best out of this set of tyres
10:05	F5KFuji	Which teammmate Simpson takes advantage of to go into 4th
10:06	F5KFuji	The pit window is open by the way on lap 7 of 22
10:06	F5KFuji	Evans is in serious trouble at the moment
10:06	F5KFuji	He has McLaughlin all over him for the lead!
10:06	F5KFuji	The Leketus crew are getting ready for a stop however
10:06	F5KFuji	As are Prodrive
10:07	Miguel98
10:07	F5KFuji	And in comes McLaughlin from 2nd place
10:07	F5KFuji	Stanaway follows suit
10:07	F5KFuji	Scotty Mac rejoins in 8th behind Rogers
10:08	F5KFuji	The battle for what is now second between Simpson and Robertson is heating up
10:09	F5KFuji	The championship leader wants the extra points to fend off the Triple Eight threat
10:09	F5KFuji	And does so with ease
10:09	F5KFuji	MCLAUGHLIN!
10:09	F5KFuji	HE TAGS THE WALL AT TURN 1!
10:09	F5KFuji	He's somehow able to keep going though
10:09	F5KFuji	He got a helping hand from Rogers there
10:11	F5KFuji	Takaboshi pits from 5th position
10:11	F5KFuji	The order on lap 10 of 22 is Evans from Simpson, Robertson, Pye and Premat
10:11	F5KFuji	The Prodrive team are out in pit lane again
10:11	F5KFuji	Presumbably to service their man Simpson
10:12	F5KFuji	And he duly obliges
10:13	F5KFuji	He comes out just ahead of McLaughlin
10:13	F5KFuji	Who goes side by side with him on the run into turn 3!
10:13	F5KFuji	CONTACT!
10:13	F5KFuji	Off goes McLaughlin!
10:13	F5KFuji	What started out as a great day has turned into a nightmare for the Kiwi
10:14	F5KFuji	Takaboshi also finds himself going on a field trip in turn 4
10:14	F5KFuji	And we have three more cars in the runoff at one
10:15	F5KFuji	This time Belcher, Rogers and Quinn
10:15		--- ElBerto is away (Auto away)
10:15	F5KFuji	And Evans is in from the lead
10:15	F5KFuji	He was 27 seconds to the good of the Prodrive duo
10:16	F5KFuji	And will come out ahead of them
10:16	GertrandBachot	I'm doing a little sim on F1C
10:16	F5KFuji	As Simpson overtakes Stanaway for a second time
10:16	F5KFuji	This leaves Robertson out in the lead for Horan Racing
10:17	F5KFuji	But with Tim Horan calling the shots from the bunker, don't be surprised to see the #55 in shortly
10:17	GertrandBachot	With ARWS drivers in 1999 F1 on Malaysia and at half an hour of qualifying, BvN hasn't gone out yet, Greenlaw had 3 offs in 1 lap and Daggers is on pole
10:17	F5KFuji	There's a fight to the death for 9th place at the moment between Belcher, Takaboshi, Scotty Mac and Stuvik
10:18	F5KFuji	Belcher and Takaboshi siedo by siedo!
10:18	F5KFuji	Siedo by siedo!
10:18	F5KFuji	Takaboshi Ichiban!
10:18	Dom	pls
10:18	F5KFuji	Pye meanwhile is making the most of fresh Giti tyres
10:19	Dom	Takaboshi kyuban*
10:19	F5KFuji	Having passed Holdsworth for 5th, he now has Stanaway in his sights for third
10:19	F5KFuji	Robertson is on a similar charge with his tyres
10:20	F5KFuji	As he goes clean around the outside of Holdsworth for 5th!
10:21	F5KFuji	Pye has caught Stanaway for third
10:21	F5KFuji	And they go side by side down the front straight
10:21	F5KFuji	He wins the braking duel into turn 1 to take the position
10:21	F5KFuji	AND HERE GOES ROBERTSON!
10:21	F5KFuji	He does his favourite party trick!
10:21	F5KFuji	Anything Pye can do, Mike can do better
10:22	F5KFuji	Local hero Takaboshi is up to 7th at this present moment
10:22	F5KFuji	However, he's got an irate McLaughlin to contend with
10:23	F5KFuji	Heimgartner decides to get intimate with the turn 1 runoff area
10:24	F5KFuji	Robertson has a run on Pye further up the field
10:24	F5KFuji	He has a look down the front striaght
10:24	F5KFuji	And a podium position is now his!
10:24	F5KFuji	There's 8 seconds between him and Simpson for second
10:24	F5KFuji	Can he close the gap with just 5 laps to go?
10:25	F5KFuji	Holdsworth does a bump n run on Stanaway for 5th
10:26	F5KFuji	McLaughlin takes 7th from Takaboshi
10:26	F5KFuji	As we cut to Alex Premat mowing down midfield plebs on new tyres
10:26	F5KFuji	He rejoined in 16th after his stop, but is back up to 13th with Weiron Tan in his sights
10:28	F5KFuji	Premat has caught the back of this gaggle of cars
10:28	F5KFuji	Tan is similarly got his sights locked on Heimgartner for 11th
10:28	F5KFuji	The Malaysian has a look into turn 3
10:28	F5KFuji	And escorts the Nesia car wide
10:29	F5KFuji	Opening the door for Premat to follow through
10:29	F5KFuji	We also have a battle forming between Stuvik and Quinn for 9th just ahead of this lot
10:30	F5KFuji	Premat makes a late dive on Tan
10:30	F5KFuji	But can't pull the car up, and concedes the spot back to him
10:30	F5KFuji	Evans is having no such issues up front, as he starts the final lap
10:31	F5KFuji	Premat has another look
10:31	F5KFuji	But again he can't get it done
10:32	F5KFuji	As Mitch Evans makes it five in a row
10:32	F5KFuji	And wins in Fuji!
10:32	F5KFuji	Dave Simpson limits the damage to take second position
10:32	F5KFuji	And Michael Robertson completes the podium with a sterling drive to third
10:33	F5KFuji	The top six is completed by Pye, Holdsworth and Stanaway
10:33	F5KFuji	And we have a drag race to the line for 11th
10:33	F5KFuji	Which Tan wins out by 0.037
10:33	F5KFuji	McLaughlin, Takaboshi, Stuvik and Quinn round out the top 10
