What better way to end the month of April than with a round of Mangacup?
(Well ok, it also works by replacing “the month of April” with “every Saturday”, we grant you).
This Saturday, April 30 saw the first round of the Interclass Mangacup, which featured Honda, Alfa Romeo, Mazda and other Mercedes in the spotlight, with the E-Class taking the spotlight. She is perhaps the smallest class of Forza Motorsport 7so slowest, the show was there!
Without forgetting a surprise guest (or almost) who joined the party, Madam Rain!
A first race, not very fast but far from slow! (Brands Hatch; Rain)
The qualifying for this race (three laps to set the best time, which decides the grid position) was quite surprising. Indeed, the rain invited to the party from qualifying may have destabilized some riders, although they have been aware of this meteorological factor since Wednesday night’s practice session. This is e.g. B. the case at Trueani67 who had shown great potential on Wednesday and couldn’t set a clean lap, taking him straight to last place on the grid!
So the race begins under a menacingly gray sky, but with no rain for the first few laps of the track.
The fighting begins and the gaps remain fairly limited…
When is the 6th coming?th Tower, drops hit the windshields…
When is the 7th coming?thit’s nothing more than a mix of tires skidding on a muddy track, a mechanical mayhem of roaring engines and drops hitting helmets and windshields that can be heard.
Several off-tracks were observed, the attacks were of high quality and at times pushed the limits of control on this slippery track.
It’s finally Itachi26 who will achieve victory in such conditions thanks to perfect vehicle control.
Second race, the pressure is increasing! (lime rock; Soleil)
Lime Rock has some nice surprises in store for the pilots, the qualifiers have already revealed the color!
Extremely close, see too close…. In force trueani (him again!) and YuRim manage the feat of driving their respective best laps in the same time!
No rain this time… But not enough distance either!
Yes, although the pilots drove in bright sunshine, the route was obviously neither long nor wide enough, and several small collisions and accidents were to be regretted. Combined with a relatively short distance, it didn’t take much for a small leading peloton to break away and catch up…to the last! This led to a rare spectacle of intertwined brawls, with the front-runners fighting for their spot on the podium amid drivers determined to move up one or more places in the standings. It’s finally Lucia2878 Who takes first place Itachi26 first to cross the line but caught by penalties.
“What I regret is that the penalties at this track are really too harsh” (Itachi26)
Place for Class D next week! I can already hear the roar of a small French V6…
In the meantime, here is the general classification at the end of this first round:
I can only recommend looking at the summary of this spectacular round i.e and join us every Saturday evening from 8:45 p.m. to be.
