Oscar is very quickly asserting himself as one of the faster drivers amongst this years SR1 challengers. We’re yet to celebrate an outright first (which would promote him out of the rookie class) but we all know it’s coming!
OJ’s second weekend in Radical SR1 was a true success, with another podium finish. Read over the whole summary below
Qualifying Round: The Doodle Wagon enters the track
Oscar was finding pace through qualifying. During the middle period, he banked a number of low 1min 32sec before pitting to adjust tyre pressures.
Once released, he had 3 full laps and punched in his 1:32:286, which qualified him 3rd for the 1st race.
Race 1: OJ finishes 4th
A hindered start found Oscar, #95, dropped into 5th during the opening laps. Time to recover was stolen by an early safety car which bunched everyone ready for a restart.
From the restart, Oscar dropped once again before yet another safety car was deployed.
Oscars final race position was supplemented with 2 of the higher cars being penalised. This allowed Oscar to finish just off the podium in 4th and 2nd in class.
Race 2: OJ places 5th
Oscar started in P6, which was based on the fastest lap from his pervious race. He was quickly into 5th place within 2 corners and then in a three-way fight for third.
He moved up into 4th place but was unable to jump into 3rd ahead of a safety car period.
In the closing moments of the race, a late slip exiting Graham Hill Bend saw Oscar drop a place to finish the second race in 5th position and P2 in class.
Race 3: OJ and his Pixel Racers reach the podium, placing 3rd!
For race 3, Oscar started in P3 with some position swaps throughout the race, Oscar was able to establish himself on the podium with a well deserved 3rd place and a class win.
