VERC Race 3 - Spa-Francorchamps

Jackson pleased with promotion, not so much with race turnout

While Jackson was happy that one of his drivers is goinjg to the VSCC, he didn't show the same satisfation with the race, especially, with two of his drivers, who were for the second time involved in incidents involving each other. "It does not make for a good day when all three of your cars all involved in incidents repeatidly and what makes it more irritating is it involves one of the same drivers" Said Jackson, reffering to Shimoda's contact with Elena Wagner. "I'm as equally disappointed with Buetch and the contact he had with Elena. Those two get along like no one else in the paddock does so I just can't fathom why this would happen and right at the beginning of the race" Buetch did apoligize on the radio after the contact and after the race, walked straight up to Elena and apoligised. "I just overdrove it when I shouldn't have. Here I am complaining about someone taking out my teammate and come a week later, I do the exact same thing, its not acceptable" Those were the words from Buetch when he was interviewed. Despite being the only car to finish in the top 10, Matt wasn't pleased at his run at all. "I can't seem to avoid hitting anything and its abit of a downer for me. I had a long conversation with the team and promised I wasn't going to make the same mistake and I did again today. I've let everyone down" Although once again down in the grass and the wall like last week, Elena was not as down in spirit and was the consoling her teammates. "I know Buetch didn't mean to do it, really I went too wide and he went for an opening he thought was there. The contact with Matt was just bad timing. I tryed to back out from the wall and did it just as he came out the corner. Glad to be trasnferring though to the VSCC after this race"
