[Fot] Triumph Competition at Assen

[tr4racing at googlemail.com]

Hi FOT,

A philosophic statement:

With regards to this video from Assen race track, I’ve got many comments about, “how is your car so fast”, “why does it handle so well”, “why does it brake so good”, “where did you learn to drive so quick”.

The answer is very simple.

Kas showed me everything.

I do what he suggests. I explain the problem to him and he gives the right answer to make my race car quick and he has also advice on how to drive and how to deal with other drivers.

I get often the comments, that Kas knowledge is from yesterday – outdated – for me it is the best knowledge base I can get from someone who did serious PRO motorsport and not this amateur motorsport we are being in.

This means for me, everything he advises has been proved a thousand times, with many drivers which you can call the best of the best.

So who I am to know it better? Who are these other amateur drivers who say that they know it better?

Conclusion:

Everybody who knows “better” has to learn the bitter lesson that not listening to Kas make them losing races, wasting money and having less fun.

Cheers

Chris

Assen was really fun. The weather was largely great, all participants were in a good mood. Most cars have kept up (which, oddly enough, is always a problem at Assen).

After a solid 2nd place in Race 1, a failure with a pushrod damage in Race 2, made me start from the back in Race 3. I got help from Philippe Vermast. He had suffered an engine failure, but could find a replacement engine and shared in race 3 with me the last row.

 

Philippe immediately took the lead in our Dynamic Duo and we made our way through the strong field of cars ahead.

 

Although I was the first to cross the finish line, unfortunately I did an unnoticed overtaking maneuver under the Yellow Flag. So I was reset by 20 seconds, on P4. Of course I'm happy for the winners on the podium, because I had had so much fun in this catch-up race. Philippe had also enjoyed the furious ride. Unfortunately, he touched a tire barrier in the chicane and bent the steering. He did not reach the finish.
