Race 3 Eindhoven - "So close: 2nd place"

"Before the race, I would have signed for the 2nd place in Race 3 at Eindhoven. Stupid track, stupid karts, stupid corners. There wasn't a single thing I liked in Eindhoven. My goals was to reach top 3, and to not lose to many point to my competitors; Ricardo Vlieger, Tom van Doorn, Lyndon Leckie and Remco Bakker. 

Afterwards, I could not have been more wrong. I qualified behind pole position driver Floris van Dorst, got taken over two times at the start of the race and stood 4th place, directly managed to take back 3rd place from competitor Remco Bakker, and head on to the leaders of the race. 

While those two were fighting for first position, I got the chance to drive up on them and participated the fight. There is a very difficult corner in Eindhoven, which is also the chance to overtake. As soon as those two before me were struggling in that specific corner, I managed to overtake both of them and stood 1st place! The only thing I had to do now was to race consistant and maintain my 1st place! Unfortunately, with the two hyena's behind me, who were both doing everything to overtake me, I had to gave up on first place. While one showed up left of me, and the other on my right, I had to let one through. Floris van Dorst became first, I came in second.  

It was a beatifull race, which also changed my opinion of the track in Eindhoven. The corners where most of the overtaking took part are a technical challenge, and I am looking forward racing here once more. Eventhough I was 2nd, I still was doing good business. My direct competitors did not perform well at all; Ricardo Vlieger: 11th spot, Lyndon Leckie: 6th place, Tom van Doorn: 5th and Remco Bakker 4th."
