Sunoco Elite Series: Season 4: Round 12 at Autodromo Nahuel Huapi

I haven't done one of these in forever, but I need to get back into the habit of doing it so here goes.

Practice Info to go up soon

Practice concludes as the rookie takes the top!

As practice comes to a close, rookie Bobby Jones takes the practice win in Argentina.

Top 5 Breakdown:

1st: Bobby Jones
Jones was consistent all day long, and continued to show speed until right at the end, when an issue stopped his session, but would stay at the top nonetheless, lots of people looking into the EM Garage for qualifying, watching Jones for a possible pole position!

2nd: Julio Cesar
That's right, the Brazil winner is back and going for the double, Cesar was fast from the drop, and would be insanely fast until a tire issue put him out late in the session with Jones, Cesar has really stepped it up since the international races started, and lots expect big things from the Brazilian!

3rd: William Duncan
After coming oh-so-close in Brazil, Duncan came back hoping for vengeance on his quest to break the winless streak for himself. Did not show much speed at the very beginning, but got faster as the session continued, resulting in being 3rd fastest today, and showing tons of speed on the long run

4th: Vance Caldwell
Having to sit out of Brazil due to getting his 3rd strike, Caldwell is back in full force, keeping consistent top 10 the entire session, and stepping in up even further near the end to lock a 1-4 for Epik Motorsports, they seem to be the fastest guys on track today, and many are afraid of what they could do.

5th: Gerrard Oran
Having another unlucky season, Gerrard Oran came out today and put on a show, and seemed to be the guy to beat for the first half of the session, but as it went on, others got faster, and he could not keep pace in the longer runs. Expect Gerrard Oran to be really fast on the early parts of the runs during the race, and expect him to be a huge threat in Qualifying!

Qualifying to be posted tomorrow, good luck everybody!

Yeah its been awhile XD

William Karlsson, Jr.: "Nahuel Huapi hasn't been treating as kindly. We've been looking to get a Top 15 or Top 10 finish this race, but as of right now I don't see that happening for myself or Hans, although Julio has a great shot at going back-to-back. We'll have to see how it all goes I suppose."

Paul Jackson: "Just when I thought Argentina couldn't be anymore of beautiful place, we arrived at Autodromo Nahuel Huapi for the 12th race of the Sunoco Elite Series. I may not be running for the win currently as we stand, but I can at least hope for the best while enjoying this beautiful place and all of its amazing people."
