Really nice job Martin !<\/p>\n

Original report from\u00a0Martin\u00a0S\u00f8rlie:<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, ahead of this years nationals I was very ambivalent regarding my goals and motivation, <\/span><\/em>after an indoor season full of ups and downs, and some physical issues causing preparation to be at a minimum.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I changed quite a bit on the car setup wise, and I also put on a carbon chassis to be certain nothing was tweaked or off. Through the practice and early qualifying, <\/span><\/em>I was way ahead of the pace I had during practice the weekend before, and I started being able to challenge the main man, Multiple ETS-finalist and Multi-national champ\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Helge Johannessen. Playing some sneaky tyre strategy, I put down the fastest single lap of the weekend during the last qualifying round, and I just lost out on TQ’ing the round by 0.5 seconds due to a backmarker crashing. Still I was more than happy to line up third and on pace behind Team Yokomo driver Andreas Daving.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In the first final, Andreas flipped, letting me by to pressure Helge with all my might. I could barely see some daylight, but not enough room to get passed Helge. In the end I finished 0.7 second behind with Andreas only 0.5 behind. In the second final we were a freight train of three, but I couldn’t get passed Andreas this time, so pressuring Helge for the win was off the table, and he won the race. For the last main I decided to make it or break it, and after two laps, Andreas gave me 190mm’s of daylight. It was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up, and of it came a very nice and tight pass up the inside. I got myself about a second gap that held all the way to the finish line, and that gave me second overall.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I’m so happy for this, and also being on pace for real on a big track with ETS carpet against Helge felt fantastic! I’d like to thank Lionel Troyon and Team Magic a lot for a very good and educational indoor season, and I hope I get to show this pace at bigger races as well! See you outdoors guys!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
