Finally! The long awaited race weekend of the C1 Learn & Drive Trophy is just around the corner: the 6 Hours of Estoril. It's the last race of the scoring season for the championship, and we couldn't be more pleased.
Starting for the 6 Hours of Estoril, the Clube Escape Livre / Razão Automóvel team occupies an honorable 12th place overall, out of a total of 47 teams.
After about 6 Hours of Braga where we just «survived», and a first race in Portimão where almost everything happened — seriously, almost everything happened … — we are more anxious than ever to grab the wheel of the C1 again with the number 911.
The best moments of the C1 Trophy
Now let's forget about the results. Because whatever the outcome of the 6 Hours of Estoril — check the timetables here — there are moments that we will never forget.
Car preparation, learning, stress, companionship, good times and bad. We celebrated and suffered as a team. EVER.
Many of these moments were registered in these galleries that we now share with you.
6 Hours of Braga
It was suffered but we came to the end.
Survival. It's the word that best defines our first foray into the C1 Learn & Drive Trophy.
Without experience and with the circuit completely wet, it was very difficult to take our C1 to the checkered flag.
But there is a lot more to tell… if you want to hear the complete summary of everything that happened, watch this video.
6 Hours of Portimão: 1st Race
Preparations for the race.
Disaster. If in the first race we survived, in the second race we were defeated by the unexpected. We had a little bit of everything, including a technical malfunction.
A few minutes from the end of the 1st race in Portimão, we were forced to retire. Dramatic moments for our team, and all recorded in a video that says a lot about the essence of endurance racing.
It's mandatory content, which anyone who's been following us for a long time will definitely enjoy. All that's missing is the blood, because the sweat and tears are all there...
6 Hours of Portimão: 2nd Race
On the starting grid.
Happiness. Finally a good result! After two magnificent qualifications with times that constantly placed us in the TOP 10, we were able to reach the race and translate our pace into a result that met our expectations.
We finished in 8th place, already putting pressure on the 7th place. Moments of immense joy that you can see in the second part of the video dedicated to the 6 Hours of Portimão.
