One more race, and one more tough round for GhostSpeed. Although GhostSpeed Racing Team finished once again in the points, the end result left bitter taste in all team members, as in Monza, the best season result was within reach. For the first time in a while GhostSpeed didn’t lined up at the World Series Ace, concentrating all efforts in the World Championship, were once more Stephane Rouault and Blair Disley were lining up.
Race would be better for the team, but only while it lasted. Blair did what he did may times this season and started heavy, to make it up at the end. Once again the young Australian driver, didn’t make any mistakes, and ended up in P7, getting to valuable additional two points. He’ now inside the top 10, which means he can race anymore in the World Series Ace.
On the opposite side was be Stephane’s race, who after a good start, would see himself out of contention when in lap 15 he spun at the 2nd chicane. A frustrating ending for the young Dutch driver, who was hoping to make the most of is race strategy.
Next week team will go to Spa-Francorchamps in hope to consolidate is position in the constructors table.
Blair Disley (AUS) 7th, World Championship Race comments:
"I'm very happy to get 7th position! I did do a PSR race before this one so maybe I was out of rhythm I'm not sure. Maybe because I didn't reboot my computer, I don’t know but I'm a little unsure as to why I was so slow in qualifying. I was just as slow in the practise session. I do remember stuffing up the first sector though on both runs into turn one so that didn't help either because I thought that someone took out a brake marker. I'm just explaining that though, I really am glad to get points from so far back. I know it's more because people dropped out, but in future races I do plan to get qualifying right."
Stephane Rouault (NL) dnf, World Championship Race comments:
"I’m really upset with myself. There was a great opportunity here for me, and I blew it myself. I did a reasonably good lap in qualify, and it got me 6th place on the grid. I was satisfied with that. Then in the race, the first few laps were chaos. With Yannick going into turn 1, almost hitting the front runners. I saw Patrick sitting in the gravel, and I almost went off myself, but I saved it, and managed to get back on track. After some overtakings, I had 7th position for a long time, after Roy's pitstop I was 6th. I was a lot heavier than the guys in front. But still my pace wasn’t even that bad compared to the front runners. I practiced a lot of long stints, and I knew laptimes would only get better. I was on a 1 stop, going until lap 30. So I can only imagine where I could’ve ended up. On lap 15, I put my foot on the gas in the 2nd chicane, my wheels were on the curb, and then something happened, that didn’t happen before ever to me in practice, the car just spun to the right, into the wall. I'm just so mad at myself, that I let this happen, in the future I should stop making these stupid noob mistakes. "
