CM Storm a Succes

Created on 26 September 2011

Dear Readers,



A few weeks ago we had the big -TRR- Championship 2011 event, the CM Storm 250... This was a public event for the championship. 25 people signed up, yet only 9 qualified. 8 people started the race, and they all finished. In the beginning laps we saw a battle for the lead between Walter Lemmens, and Ori Atana.

After some laps Antti Terho mixed himself into the battle, and we soon saw a huge crash between him and Lemmens. This caused Terho to have serious damage, and Lemmens to roll and fix damage. Sadly however, when Lemmens entered the pits, he forgot to put on damage repair, so he had to drive another lap to fix his car. Causing him to drop back to last position on laps behind the rest.

After this it was quite boring lap after lap for a long while, and sometimes we saw Antti pull a fast lap thanks to damper damage. However he got called into the pits by the race directors cause of his damage causing him to speed up through the last corner. When going in for fixes, he sadly speeded through the pitlane, and got a drive-through penalty. However he ignored to take this within 3 laps (following the event rules). So he got disqualified at the end of the race.

Then Anthony Pllu was catching up to Ori, and it became a fight on lap times, as Anthony was on a lap. Some more crashes and spins by Gooderham, and Provost, but nothing serious. In the meanwhile Lemmens fought back to 5th position, and in contention for awards!  Everyone had made a pitstop by now, except for Ori, but even when he made it, he still had a fair lead over Pllu.

The race finished, with the following order:

1st Ori Atana #00 - 1:06:17.06
2nd Anthony Pllu #69 - +0:35.23
3rd Timo Heinonen #75 - +1 Lap
4th John Gooderham #74 - +1 Lap
5th Walter Lemmens #07 - +2 Laps
6th Jonathon Provost #97 - +3 Laps
7th Oscar Arslan #87 - +3 Laps
- Antti Terho #83 - DQ

Congrats to the award winners!


Kind Regards,
