BMW 325 CUP Race 2, Bikernieki, DeWALT GP
so we can know is BMWs coming out from the pits and going to take their grid positions for race two we had a lot of trauma in race one actually the first attempt has to be in canceled because there was huge crash right into turn one it was quite slight initial contact between seconds please start early on messenger and fourth place car of Alex Ivanov so after that Slide contact even of made actually he spun and made another much harder contact with messenger they both were out on the spot and to further cars hit them so all in all four cars were out because of that incident and we had a long break for their track to be cleared and it was of course good news for number one to one Walter's veterans the Pullman and the interview interview over to Oscars [Music] so we are ready for race two of the BMW 325 cop here in Devil Grand Prix 2020 or two Edition the opener for the season and it's fantastic to see such a competition in this category and is in the pole position again he has done a fantastic job in race one and obviously we'll try to do the same in race too yeah hopefully the start goes well first time this time and uh yes I think I have the pace to win this race and hopefully everything will be nice it's uh it's rarely when uh in Motorsports you're given the second chance and by luck I think by unlucky drivers but lock for you on the first race you had a chance to repeat that procedure here from Pole Position it went well but this time I think you will have to do it from the first time yeah we did watch the data what I did wrong so we analyzed what happened but uh yes this time I'm feeling more ready and it will be okay well I think the most important news is that it wasn't a car error it was a driver error so that's something you can fix yourself yeah that's true you always need to work on yourself and improve and hopefully everything goes nice this time all right Walters the pace is there uh the uh the car is working well the team is the best you can imagine the LV racing guys are doing just absolutely maximum to get this car running as fast as it can and obviously rest of the field are doing the same thing so Carlos finally from first row this is where he belongs ladies and gentle he is going to push to the maximum to show how it's done will it be like that God always tell me of course I always supposed to push to the maximum in the first race uh at the beginning of the first race uh I tried to hold Valkyrie but later I saved the tires for the for the for this round so I think right now will be the moment when when I need to push really hard so it sounds like you are controlling the race as well some strategies with the tires that's really important in your class you have to survive with them throughout the whole weekend yeah these tires to overheat so it's really important to to manage those tires really good all right looks like you're doing a good job Carter's best of luck see you out there in the track it's going to be very very exciting to watch these guys battling it out he says this is either race it's race two it's now or never ladies and gentlemen it's gonna be epic so make sure you stay tuned don't go anywhere we're about to start the BMW 325 cop race too and there's much much more to follow throughout the evening and obviously tomorrow as well so we have a large program for you prepared the dival Grand Prix 2022 is very very cool it's a fantastic weekend sun is shining the wear is good the grandstands are almost full shout out to all of the fans out there and obviously shout out to all of you watching either on Facebook YouTube or tv4 we are going to rock and roll dudes and deuces so everything seems to be ready for a race two and as Carlisa mentioned the tires are very important because all drivers have only one set four tires for the whole weekend for qualification and two races and while zwieterse was much faster during race one than all the others his best lap time was almost four tenths better than joharis's one yeah we will see if he has used his test too much during race one but it we may be true for number 318 who made a very bad start into race one and then had to fight back and starting from P4 he's number 42 Audrey shots and believe or not he was yesterday out of top 26 who got direct place for finance so he had to fight this place for himself through the second chance race in which he won but now you see he's in row two so everything is possible everything is possible you have to take your chance gravity with two hands and this is Marty's lapins [Music] his onboard Car Lot was starts from B7 he was fourth in race one during the final laps was really very close Robert Ray is in the first race third place man is starting from V5 having number seven paulusobona which is on his side fourth row will be Martin slapping as we saw number five and number 63 Christian is oscarco who was sixth in race one and hit throw consists of number 19 carbon Grove the Civil lady driver in this race and number four let your driver he on his horns crumbles involved in a collision with Finnish driver use of work during race one and that's another example that you can't trust what you see on TV I was almost sure that the Collision was a mistake by graph but Yuri decided the other way and Walker was award and some big penalties from him because he was actually he lost most in that Collision problem lost maybe one or two positions but was out the race anyway now we have BMW's already returning from their warm-up lap the race distance will be 40 laps as it was in race one and this time voltas sweaters really was fortunate because that's that abandoned race he made a very bad getaway and was already fourth or fifths entering turn one then he got second chance and he grabbed it with both hands now five first rows are already formed full start martial has has to run a long way till the end of the greed where the lost car start again I'm not sure how many cars do we have and you see in the background BMW third series touring yes it is because for this year BMW e91 or during or wagon or how do you call it cars are also allowed and that this car number two card is auto Lynch he made finals yesterday through the second chance race yesterday and shows that um you can drive even a state or wagon car quite fast and there is top eight uh starting Creed now everything should be already almost ready for the starter BMW race 2. and it is lights are going on third fourth fifth and here we go [Music] and the Idris is now clearly in front of your Visa once again with Jade is in third meanwhile raising is on the inside of Johnson he's probably going to take B4 as a result or today trade paint into turn one turn two [Music] it looks like everybody has managed to go safely through but shots is still side by side with raising when they're approaching bridge and chats goes in front so raisin made a sensible move and let the cats front because you can't go through the bridge turn side by side it's almost impossible and that is oh it was late lunch from Martin slappings but for nothing actually [Music] but this time lapins is on the inside he was side by side can he take the position yes he goed into the witch ghetto Martin slappings V7 yes it is [Music] there was yani's horns battling with Jonas romanowskas in the lower right so first then and here they come again and this is number 17 who tried to use this situation but there was a slight contact and you can see what can happen actually almost nothing happened because drivers were really good here save the car saved from the huge crash which can happen in this part of track so both horns and hoteli did what they had to muslimators Media I think even didn't lose their position in the process but it was close it was really close meanwhile raising the third place man from race one is now under pressure from now which is number seven actually there is some smoke emerging it and I think now this is a situation it was almost carbon copy of what we see saw during race one first attempt but this time fortunately they had more space really was really good in the situation actually he caused this of course because cotton unexpectedly four horns [Music] and now racing has and this is lapins to the inside of urbanavages there is inevitable contact between them and both cards look very second hand now details are dropping away from the cars and I think they will be shown technical defect flag [Music] because uh surely good you know so yeah you see some parts of the car are dropping and this is Roman racing versus Andres chats not here not here not now but we saw during race one how would top speed racing had on the Main Street so here are our two battle cars of loppageus right behind them trying to find his moment [Music] is taking each side line through Sand Hill [Music] just to cover his line [Music] but raisin has no top speed advantage over shots so he stays in fifth [Music] going forward ah losing his car almost losing his car and it was not the intention for sure but he almost lost his car on the curve and hit the lithuanian's car with his front left corner [Music] meanwhile swedridge is 1.3 seconds in front of your voice already [Music] seven seconds behind and this is Raising once again showing himself to chats he seems to be faster but just that scar is sliding much more it may be a good sign for rating he's not going for it yet to get good exit from the final turn but chats chat says fine it took his car up to the Apex and I guess that racing can't use his top speed Advantage let's see turn one raising is not in front and he's the yes Robert razor went by on the outside of turn one but lost his position into turn two exiting turn two and three and this time I think racing will take it with both hands yes he is so Roman racing finally managed to overthink 100 shots for fourth but the bad news for him is that you know sadakis who is third in front of craziness the Gap is more than three seconds and with those cars even over 10 laps it's very very hard to regain [Music] [Applause] [Music] and oscarco despite being all over rubanovicus for several laps already not showing any aggression that has been no overtaking attempts foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] space has dropped a little bit because number three Richard schubetskis and number 79 dogs Perkins you have bought them as well now attack immediately who went wide into turn one that was a really good move from Grove but is she going to be able to yes he she is loses even more at least one place to bear this and maybe yes Ben since his boy and zubeski's stays behind at least for now and there is also number 56 so Finnish driver in this race use of worker actually has should be the best one of the best buildings is very sideways over the bridge with three cars all over Bohemian number 56 is by far the most aggressive driver in this company and he's also very high qualified driver because his main job is to race in all of the house in contact with the wall and rolls multiple times it should be red flag and red flag is out and I think this race game will be over the question is what has happened to the driver this is actually one and only important question and driver for the sake of his well and ready climbing out of the car on his own although it's not that easy because car is resting on the barrier but it is good sign usable climbs out of the car which actually is total that is almost nothing to take from that car he may be shaken but he's in one piece walking away from this kind of shunt and you can see it's a testimony to all these safety regulations of those cars ambulance is arriving onto the scene of course driver is already also always shocked after this kind of events you may not be adequately able to judge what is going on around you but use a book I started to talk about that he's a GT World Challenge driver having Audi R8 for attempt racing which is very highly rated and what has happened what happened here everything played out in front of cameras and it's difficult to say who was in fourth in this time so one two three four five six seven eight Lobby nine times uh rolled at least nine times you can see how strong those cars are use oboka just hold nine times and walked away from this shunt and here is the most relieving view of the afternoon use a book climbing out of this wreckage and yes you see even two ambulances are there and red flag was out immediately the car haven't or should I say wreckage had and stopped even but red flag was already out it's a very quick reaction from race direction as well so there was some pushing between pohaka and schubeskis who is at one fault it's difficult to say once more I think it was it was try to stay in front of chubetski's and subetsk as you see he has he's hooed off he he couldn't see anything where he was going [Music] my colleagues in Latvian counted the roles and they their conclusion was that it was eight nine times sorry nine times foreign but now everybody saw how strong those cars are remaining cars are all lined up on the Main Street are they going to continue with their race race director and jury must decide about it and yes I think that it was Richard schubetskis who hold his line he was already on the verge of the track right side Wheels almost on the cross so he really had nowhere to go and walk or perhaps didn't realize were another car Wars exactly and try to change the direction and in the result he got hit to the right rear of his car went sideways into the barrier and then you saw the rest but yes in the case of crashes like this everybody is relieved when they see driver walking away and that is the most important thing foreign what happens next it's difficult to say if the race will not be continued there should be a Countdown by one lap it changed nothing in top 10 I would think but the positions were shubetskis and POA were was top 10. and another another flag and another in BMW race one more question is about the safety barriers foreign I think the concrete barrier holds off there is no question about it but what happened to the metal barrier [Music] does it need any kind of repairs some car parts or should I say parts of a former car because this one was totaled there is few details which you can take from it [Music] so track clearing is on the way there is no information how long delay we could have but I think it can be even longer than the first one because there are lots of car parts lots of glass perhaps lots of liquids although the cars car became stationary on the track side on the grass mainly the question is yes what happened to the barrier does it need repairs we will know shortly until now we until then we will make a short break with our comments if something will happen if the race will be continued or will be declared as finished we will inform you [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] amazing [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] so as you can see from this picture the track is clear that wreckage has put onto the flatbed truck is somewhere in the region of paddock already check is clear the gravel is off there is no liquids on the attack and metal barrier seems to be intact as well and safety car is standing in front of BMWs and it means that the race Will Go On Timing System tells us that eight laps are still to go also there is has been no official confirmation about it [Music] we will see there is this final and I guess it means that safety car is going to move and all remaining racing cars as well and once more that moment and I think it was yeah it was like initiating this incident but it was because he had uh Godzilla massage really on his left hand and Godzilla massage really maybe maybe was moving on to the right side as well it was impossible to determine from this picture but of course cars have onboard cameras all cars must have them in bmu BMW class and jury and all the officials they can see what actually happened there and of course cars have data loggers as well so it will be clear who did what their but the main thing as I have said several times already the main thing is that use a book Ed away from this accident unharmed or at least we didn't see him harmed and the race can go on now so safety car is moving already and yes racing cars behind it as well so of course Walter's weather is um may feel a little bit disappointed now because he's huge lead disappeared but then again in race one he was very fortunate who is there was I think it was Christianity [Music] turned into the pits no it wasn't scarecrow is here 63. it was perhaps anyway one car was heading for the bits instead of race restart [Music] yellow flags away during the warm-up lap s foreign [Music] looks like cars will be given a proper standing start all the gaps will be reset to basically zero and of course it's uh bad news for those who had huge lead over there not huge but proper lead over there competitors but on the other hand it's the same for everybody or are we going to have a rolling start in one file I really can't tell you [Music] I will think it looks like more like a rolling start [Music] and yes it is the racing has resumed with Waters in front of Carlos and here are the three cars in succession only just 456th and Seventh Place in a long long [Music] pass behind them another changes in top four but lapins here has managed to jump shut somewhere somewhere between turn two and the bridge he is now fifth who is Judge and turbo now we choose attacking chats into the hospital just goes wide and durbanon which is can he use the situation foreign [Music] is now already six and Christian has also joined that party meanwhile top four are going their way already so jot has lost one more place he started this lap in fifth though he stands and hitting oscarco from the back no it wasn't chats he it was number six romanovskas who hit toshkerko but somehow regained the control of the car and what this measures is in this schedule as well number 21.
2020 BMW champion and goes to the inside is just going to give him some space no he's not but Magic's forces him boy and Jax loses another place to Carmen Rob as well so I would assume something is not right with his car because he has lost so many positions during one single lap and now Tom's person she's behind him and looking for his chance and yes Judds has no speed anymore whatever happened to this car and top four I have escaped certainly from fifth place a lot of inch [Music] but the battles are going on everywhere more or less everywhere this one was for p16 for the best problem number 24 and it was one of the main actors there is no match front of grub already and craft rice her favorite move into final turn and this is measure two goes wide and this is oh this time Perez was on the grass again and just narrowly missed the entire barrier but in the end result it's better since you overtakes two cars in basically one go [Music] here is once more grab on the inside he her car does much better and this is where it turns outside just narrowly misses the entire barrier but has the speed and as a result overtakes both Krav and mejax 11th [Applause] [Music] it's a one and so on here they go shots number 42 has now somehow stabilized his space maybe his tires we are now suffering because in race one he had really to push thank you but there are no problems for leader Walters Beatrice [Music] is now more than two seconds and it's growing all the time and I would say that all drivers in top four has quite a peaceful time because this man number five but this love finish is quite the way back but behind lapins there is number seven followers and number 63 Christianity is trying to find that Gap in [Music] which is defense and use it into his advance [Applause] [Music] um foreign has made no mistakes [Music] romanovskas is also closing in from behind or actually on this lap he was not for the top four top five are here and the Dickies has been now faster than your Visa so when you always are told that he tried to save his tires in the second half of race one sadik is meanwhile had to push like a hell during that time but now it seems that radakis has even more tires left because he is closing in the Gap is less than one second [Music] [Applause] [Music] momentary lapse from your voice aside it remains to be seen [Music] [Music] it's probably best throne and yani's hands the lower part of top 20 and Christopher's number 82 is trying to overtake one of his competitors oh there are three three cards side by side can they stay on the track yes they could it was close it was really close and green puss is in front of this group now as a result and there will be five cars together in that juggle meanwhile here in his hands he's trying to find a place where to overtake uh until now has managed to defend successfully thank you so today is a little bit slower than your voice so this time around so basically you can say that their speed is very similar and final lap is underway final left from this very dramatic race is on the way Walter's weather is very close to taking second Victory just a half a lap for him to go and basically everybody here he comes everybody in top four can feel safely your voice a second so take his third and raising fourth the main thing not to make mistake by the themselves [Music] no danger [Music] because there is no need to push and here comes Walters and second race second victory for him third promoter is in fourth Martin lapins comes home fifth sixth traditions of course seventh Jonas romanovskas ISL managed to overtake Top's business during the final lap and took ninth where this was tense followed by mailbox charts Japanese [Music] horns and all the others so that was our second BMW 325 Cup race even more dramatic than the first one due to use a box terrible crash we were here old nine or maybe even 10 times car was totaled but the pilot climbed out without basically with a little help Marshall had to hold the door open but basically walked away from that crash I'm sure it will be shown in in many reviews over motor racing crashes from 2022 because even in the world it is really maybe not unique but is something worth watching and on the positive side it showed how well built those cars are and why those all those strict safety regulations are present we need them in situations like this so that was all that actually is all for today about sprint races we have one more race today but it is the long one six hour endurance race will make a short break with our comments now and we will return When endurance Racers will start their warm-up laps thank you stay with us thank you yes it is so as Walters just explained so it was a fantastic weekend the car was working perfectly the team did an incredible job and all he had to do is drive fast and make it to the Finish Line first and he did that two races in a row so that's a jackpot for you if you ask me but obviously we'll see them on the podium later on the BMW 325 cup one of the most dramatic races out there in the baltica Tunica championship and the guys have had like a blast today a very very interesting start of the season but we are about to head on to the six hour endurance race which is also going to be very interesting to watch so stay tuned whatever you're watching the devil Grand Prix 2022 Edition the season opener is on ladies and Gentlemen let's go [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] thank you
