Looking back at 2011 season
09.01.2012
In a few weeks to break out season Petr Fulin 2012, to be the next step yet in his very successful career. Even before his team set off for testing at Monza and Valencia, with hindsight, was presenting last year.
The main program for the 2011 season was Peter's participation in the German Seat Leon Supercopa series before and did not hide his ambition to reach the start of the final evaluation of the imaginary podium. Finally, of which - as in 2010 - Fourth place is an ungrateful and potato medal. It is a cause for disappointment or Peter performing in their Supercopa satisfied?
It was my third season with Cup Seat and hilarious after the end of year 2010, I believed that I could finish in third place. The last company I started the season as the second man interim order, and I eventually finished fourth with a loss of nine points on the second and four points for third place in the final settlement for the failure certainly do not. In any race I did not finish worse than sixth, I scored regularly and that it ultimately failed, it is more a coincidence than a reflection of my performance. I also think that it is necessary to add the fact that at Oschersleben Shane Williams was disqualified for unauthorized use of stabilizer and do not believe that it applied only there. He beat me by four points. And the same stabilizer you purchased on the official testing and subsequent overall winner Elia Erhart, and it certainly not only as artistic artifact on the wall in the garage ...
They are in last season Supercopa moments that Peter sorry?
Such moments are just a few. Perhaps the most sorry outcome in the second race at Norisring. Went to the wet track, which quickly drying up. Almost all of us bet on wet tires, I was led by a margin of ten seconds, but as the track was still dry, slick tires have the advantage. Elia Erhart me and drove me to set up a victory in the last turn of the race. A similar case was the race at the Nurburgring. I led, missed three rounds to finish and when I crossed the NGK chicane curb there was a brief interruption of electrical contact, and transmission lines prořadila I came. To consider the pitch and the race on the Nordschleife. Just before I decided to start přezout and I left the race with about dvacetisekundovou loss. I finished the entire field and began to fight one opponent after another. When I overtook in the last round of Shane Williams, I was in front of him, but at the exit of the corner I got back from him and went to morning hours. Before I was a small lock on the narrow track turned several rivals overtook me and I finally managed to grab points in the race for fifth place. Gabor Weber, who was in the pits footwear needed as I did, finishing second in that race and I do it all the time overtaking maneuver going into the last round of the long straight before the finish. And finally, about staying with the team GAG with hindsight I do not find a solution as unfortunate. But I do not wanna make excuses for anything, such is simply motorsport. But I think that I should just do more.
And the fact that Peter was in season 2011 in the Supercopa win even one race?
This is of course a pity, but as I mentioned, in the second race at Norisring to victory was incredibly close. In addition, we have struggled all year with the speed of the car, I often rival the maximum speed significantly lost. On the other hand, my performances were very close, only to Zandvoort I finish the race due to engine, otherwise I was always among the top six and it counts more than when you win one race and two finish.
In addition Supercopa but Peter had gone almost a complete season and Eastern Europe Cup. How to evaluate their performance in the Cup?
Racing with Cupo Octavia for me is a heart issue. This year I went in basically four and a half this weekend because of the race I ran in Most Supercopa after the race at the Nurburgring, I managed only the second race and I had to start from the last row. The last race in Brno, I missed it completely with my car started Thaddeus Simecek. Still, I finished second in the final evaluation and I am pleased that I managed to win a few races. And not just among the Octavia, but in absolute order against much younger cliím.
List of Peter starts last year but it is far from complete. Also tried racing with several Radical and sat behind the wheel of the car and the DTM. The qualification for experienced Slovakiaring even beat Stefan Rosina ...
Ride with DTM car is always an amazing experience and a great experience. The fact that I beat Stefan Rosina is of course nice, but Stefan was driving a Porsche Supercup season, still went on with Slovakiaring GT3, so it was not easy for him. Based on this result but then I got an offer from GT to participate in the development of components for the DTM car that would allow its launch in uphill races. I really appreciate. The whole thing was then crowned starting the race in the German Mickhausenu where I drove the fourteenth time in the overall ranking and won the Touring Car class. I must say that it was an incredible experience, and how difficult it is to go with such a car race to the top illustrates the fact that I have had a few kilometers sweaty overalls as well as a half-hour after the race Supercopa.
