The start of Season 2 in Adelaide has been done and it was a great race for us. The car ran very well, in qualifying and espacially in the race. I think for the first race we managed to get a good result.

'Tangofoxx, what are your thoughts about the race?'

Tangofoxx: Yeah was quite a good one, we truly had the best pace in the complete grid. I was very lucky to get ahead of Paul at the start. I think both cars were pretty equal. Also our 2 stop strategy worked quite well, but we lost a bit of time on our first stop 'cause we had some problems with overheating the engine. It was interesting to fight the McLarens which seemed to be on a 1-stop strategy. It was truly close to the end and thrilling. We could have finished on 1st place, but in the final lap right after the chicane I got some really dirty air from Paul in combination to take the corner a bit tigher than before we lost traction and spun out. That was so frustrating. I also heard that there was an investigation on the McLaren because of some unauthorized modifications, but I think the results will stay like that.

Oschersleben, race number 2, has just been finished. The double home race for Team Speedhunters and its driver Tangofoxx. So there was a high expectation they need to force.

'Hello Tangofoxx, congrats for winning the race, would you like to say something?'

Tangofoxx: Actually not, cause I am still sweating like hell. Just let me take a breath *drinks water* ...okay so first of all I need to thank our complete team, the car went so brilliant. We had so much pressure to win this race, because its our hometrack. This might have helped us very much. 1st in qualifying and 1st in race, I think we did a great job here. Our 1-stop-strategy worked out very well and I think the Porsche was on the same. Figthing the Manthey was quite challenging, cause both needed to watch their tires. We pitted around 4 or 5 laps earlier than them, so they had the grip advantage. After the chicane I just saw some smoke popping up in my mirrors, I was afraid I got some damage, but Speedylu spinned out. This was easing thing up for us, cause now we could save the tires, but I would have liked to see some more fights betweens each other. Yeah so double WIN, we could not be happier.

There are just two word needed to describe Singapore out auf BMWs view: Bad luck.

'Tangofoxx, could you give us your thoughts about the race?

Tangofoxx: Meh, we just had to much of bad luck. Qualifying was really awesome, we were able to get around a second quicker than the Porsche and set a new track record with our 2:03.555 - buuut that was actually everything we achieved this weekend. We had a really good start, managed to get some space to the 2nd. But then in lap 2 my radiator hose blurted and we needed to tape is so it would last for the rest of the race. Then another two laps later my front left tyre started to loose pressure so we needed to make our second pit stop in lap 4. We changed onto the Hards and put enough fuel to end the race without any more stops. This worked quite well, our goal was now to get into 3rd position until the end. We overtook the guy from South Holland in lap 12, 4th now. The game was on - Push it to the limit. I was able to get closer and closer every lap, we really put some pressure on that Friesian infront of me. In lap 26 I was able to overtake him in the chicane at corner 11-12. I passed him on the outside, but then I get a bump into my right side and got pushed into the wall. Both front tyres blew up and my steering nearly broke. I was just able to move the car aside so it won't be a danger for upcomming cars. It's really a shame that our race ended up like that, our quickly made strategy worked really well and we were able to get this 3rd podium, but... things are rough out there. You never know what is comming next. Hopefully we will do better in Shanghai next week.

BMW hitting up in Shanghai on 2nd but didn't had a chance against the Porsche.

First of all congrats to your 2nd place here in Shanghai. May you share your view on the race with us?

Tangofoxx: Well, we had our pace and were able to drive it to the end, but Manthey-Racing was quicker than us. The track was just too warm for us, our car runs better at lower temperatures than here in Shanghai. We were able to stay infront of the Porsche for the first laps but then I saw that they are much quicker than us, we were already pushing as much as possible, so I let him pass to save my tires through the stint. Pitstop went pretty good and quick and we managed to save our 2nd place up to the end. We were lucky that one of the McLarens had a penalty and needed to start from the pits. That actually donated the 2nd place to us. We are now looking forward for the last Asian track in our calender Suzuka.

BMW managing a win even after pit problems.

Tangofoxx, congratulations for you victory here at Suzuka. How do you feel now?

Tangofoxx: Yeah we had a good race, our start was a bit bad - buuut we managed to stay in 2nd position. It was very challenging to fight Paul23 through several corners side by side. Still lucky that no damaged were taken. Finally I get infront of him. Going through the Casio Triangle I just saw that the laws of physic may not apply to the McLaren, but from then I could save the tires, 'cause Paul23 needed to pit. Normally we would have been on a one stop but as I came to my pit it seems that the wrong tires were taken out, so we needed to quit the tire changing. One lap later I came back into pits, now the correct tires were ready, but seems like I pushed to hard and caught a drive-through. Sooo changing tires and some laps later doing the penalty. We thought our race was over, but it seemed that Paul23 also had problems with his strategy to we even managed to overtake while drive-through. Then we had some good race, pace was good and we managed to take that win, even if it was close to the last corner.

Tangofoxx was racing on a good pace until things getting strange. A fence at the end means no way out... or does it? Even watching it again, noone was able to make sense of it... All we see is the an intact fence and nothing more than the vanishing taillights of what the SRC has come to call: The Ghost Car.

'What the... erm...the fuck happening here... Tangofoxx!?'

*a small paper glides down from the sky*

Tangofoxx: We had a good pace, 100% on the podium with chances for the win, but you guys might still be wondering about what happend out there on the track. Well it's hard to describe, we were kinda chosen for a test of a new high developed supercharger which was built after a thing that has been found in an downed extraterrestrial spaceship thingy - or something like that. I am currently on a classified mission, destination unknown. If I can accomplished that mission, a new era for humankind will rise. Oh, I already wrote to much. Please enjoy this Ascii art and would you please look onto this animated picture on the bottom of this totally normal sheet of paper? Thanks

Tangofoxx was never gone, he was always there. Noone had a chance, he won the race by far.

After his return from another dimension Tangofoxx drove up onto the podium.

'Heyhey, glad too see you again. Now the big thing everyone want to know about: What happend in Laguna Seca? Where did you go? I mean, the whole thing was kinda weird strange thing.'

Tangofoxx: Well, we had a really good pace. Our strategy was to stay with the hards as long as possible to get an advantage of having them in better conditions to the end, but this track is just eating tires. Still loosing a bit of time due to some dimensional travel damage, but we dealed with that. The Porsche and McLaren had the better setup for this track, but we looking forward, aiming for a win when we nordschleifing around.

'Erm, okay, buuut this didn't answered any of my questions.'

Tangofoxx: I know.

Rising from the ashes, Tangofoxx managed to get a win on the Nordschleife, using a better strategy than this opponents.

'Congratulations, up to the last stop no one would have imagined that. What was your key to the victory?'

Tangofoxx: *breathless* We just put everything *still breathless* into our strategy. We made *deep breathing* the best lap in the qualifiying, well that was obvious due to our times before. My start was just bad, I just revved too much and so my tires started to lose their traction. The drivers behind me made it better so they passed me and I came in 4th into the first corner, badly making contact with one of the guest starters, giving me some problems on the front right. Surprisingly the Team MiguelLuigi made it very good through this corner, gaining 1st position, me in 2nd. Due to the damage I had some problems in fast corners, the team said that my tire might be punctured, so I should reduce the speed, just for the case. I dropped back into 4th. Gaining some slipstream at 'Döttinger Höhe' I was able to close the gap to the cars infront of me, but between 'Antoniuseiche' and 'Tiergarten' the cars infront of me made contact and smoke was all over the track. Well this is quite a bad place to share some personal space. Now I needed to decide to brake or to put the gas down to avaoid a crash, so I just step of the gas a bit and then I saw that the Lamborghini spinned off, I saw his position and just put the pedal to the metal to pass him when he spins back on track, no risk no fun. I made it, now closing up the gap to the cars infront. The car had a very good setup, but during the night we had some problems to keep up with the cars infront so we reduced the speed to safe fuel and also time in the pits. When the sun was rising my pace get better and so I could get back the time I lost during the dark. The last laps were comming up and we made up our final stint. The team was calculation a lot so I would barely make it to the end of the race. Comming into pits 25 second behind the McLaren and Porsche. We made our final stop and it worked. We came 40 seconds earlier out of the pits and then took this gap to the finish and converted it into a victory, with only 2L fuel left. Mission accomplished. My gratitude to the team for doing such a great job here in the Eifel *smiling*. Yeah! King of the Ring is born! Nordschleife! *turns around jumping into the arms of the team members and crowd diving*

*Team is singing*
We are the best! Around! Nothing's gonna ever keep us down!
We are the best! Around! Nordschleife, here is our victoryyy!

Speedhunters gaining to 2nd things in Indianapolis

'Hello Tangofoxx, would you like to give us your view on the race?'

Tangofoxx: Well, we were just damn quick. Gettin' a lap record with around four thenth to the others. This donated the pole to us. The car was in very good condition, just like me and we were up for another win. Start was very good, managed to get a good gap to the others. Stayed infront of the Porsche and McLaren, but in lap 3 or 4 I made a little mistake so the Porsche could just slip trough the gap. Now I needed to defend against the McLaren which was just a hell of a work. Always hard to that guys. While fighting Paul23 we lost Speedylu infront, so I needed to concentrate more onto closing the gap. The McLaren pitted very early, something around a third of the race. It was sure, that they will change onto Hards, so we started pushing as hard as possible to not fall behind them after our stop. I was surprised how fast the car went on the used tires, we gained around 3 seconds onto the Porsche. While preparing for our stop I heard that the McLaren was lost. Maybe they get... you know that thingy from Laguna. Yeah, so only goal was to catch that Porsche infront of me. Pushing and lapping other cars went easy and we made it from 6 seconds to a 2,5 seconds gap, but sadly the time was over and we finished in 2nd. It was a good weekend for us, because on our performance so far BMW increased the budget and we could get a new driver.

'A new driver, that surprising. Any informations to the new team member?'

Tangofoxx: Well, he is a very successful young driver from the GT4 series. Robert14BVB from Austria. I had to chance to talk to him just before the race. A really nice guy and hopefully a good team mate. From his actual performance he will start in AM-class. We hope he can get into the points quickly, which will help us massively in the Team Championship.

'Well, that were some good informations. Hopefully we can find that new driver soon to get better known to him.'

BMW with a solid and a very bad luck race.

'Hey Tangofoxx, we would like to have your view on the race, is that possible?'

Tangofoxx: Oh, erm, yes. Race was satisfying for me. Started 3rd and ended up on 3rd. We hadn't the best performance this weekend. I had big problems with the tires this time, that's why the McLaren could catch up later on the race. But there is...

'Oh just a moment please, there is your teammate comming. Robert? ROBERT! How did your race'

Robert14BVB: Just leave me... *some melee thingy happening* ...piss off!

*takes the microphone and throws is to the ground - quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccckkkkkkkk rrrrrrrrrschhhhhhhhhhhhhhhtttttttt plop*

Tangofoxx: 'Wasn't that of a good idea to interview him, huh?'

Together 10 - first points for BMWs new driver and a solid podium for the older one.

'Hey you two, good to meet you here. Can we get an interview from you?'

Both: Sure.

'Okay so, Robert14BVB your first points for BMW, how do you feel?'

Robert14BVB: 'Its okay, I am somehow happy to get my first points but I know that I could have performed even better. I had a very bad crashes early in the race. First one was in lap 1, I think turn 8, got bumped by the driver behind me, spinned out and ended on last position. Happily regained my lost position very fast due to mistakes of the other drivers. In lap 7 I was very lucky not to collide with the spinned out Lamborghini infront of me, very close - but some turns later Mr. Bond performed some special move to get rid of his pursuers. Worked out quite well, the Ferrari infront of me just passed him and then Mr. Bond took me out. Didn't had any chance to get out of my situation. Result was a very damaged front and later on that lap, a punctured tire. I pitted earlier than I wanted to, came out and just a lap later, the same tire blew up again. It was a part of me body frame that was slitting my tire at higher speeds, so pitted again and ripped that shit off. From then on the race went on very normal for me. As said before, could have been better, but not this time.'

'That was quite detailed, thank you. And your view Tango?'

Tangofoxx: I would have liked to repeat my last season win, but the Porsche was just unbeatable for me this time. Started on 3rd but ended up in 4th in turn 1, seems like I slept during the start. The Nissan was quite strong infront of me. I was faster, but I didn't found any place to make a move. More or less happily for me Ryo spinned out very early, lap 5 or something. Now with a free track infront of me I could close up to the McLaren and Porsche infront. Then the McLaren spinned out in turn 1, just 3 laps after the Nissan. From then on the race went very smooth. No unfixable problems. Just had a short moment of fear, because during my stop the engine went to warm, so I needed to get of the gas quite much during my inlap. But that was actually all that happend from then on. But I am very pround on my new colleague. First points for our Team, well done mate!'

*patting his back*

Tangofoxx: 'I think we both will have a drink later on. But first we need to go to the team meeting.'

Both: 'Cya'

BMWs young talent keeps improving.

'Hello Robert14BVB, got some time for an interview about your race?'

Robert14BVB 'Um okay, well how to start... that actually a good start, because I had a bad one. During the formation lap I made contact with Icebreaker infront of me and then a road block build up itself and one of my front tires was puctured from the hit. First lap, first pitstop - not how I had imagined the race. And it went even worse, lap 11 I spinned out after a contact with the wall and lost my rear wing and a turn later my front left tire, second pit stop. From then on the race went not that much better for me, lap 33 my front right tire had a puncture so third stop. At the end I landed on P6, which is okay but I could've done better. I am more or less frustrated about how much bad luck I am having at the moment.'

'Well hopefully this will change in two weeks when we hit up at Le Mans, all the best.'

*Tangofoxx walking by*

Tangofoxx, Interview?

Tangofoxx: 'I'll make it short: Hardly paying respect to the track - we were pressing F like hell. Start was good, as always. Very surprised by Ryo Watanabe, good driver, he can challenge us quite well. McLaren got a puncture infront of me, bad luck for him, Nissan spinned out infront take 2nd place and stayed there. Finito.'

'Ummmm thank you for this very detailed interview'

Tangofoxx: 'Yeah for sure no problem, you doing a great job here. Hope I will see you in Le Mans'

BMW having strategy problems

'So what can you tell me about your strategy, what went wrong?'

Tangofoxx: 'Well, until the end everything went fine. Our strategy was very good but the last stint was very risky. I came out of the box with around 35 minutes left on the clock, but I only had fuel for around 33 minutes - this is actually how we calculated it. So from then on we needed to save as much fuel as possible to make the race to the end. Sadly the McLaren infront had much more fuel onboard and up to the last lap we were afraid to run out of fuel so we hardly needed to pit for the last 4:30 minutes. This actually costed us the save 2nd place but otherwise we could have run empty if the McLaren had made another lap. It sad to lose 16 points due to too less fuel but this is how things are going. We will take that as a lesson, I mean we are still KING OF THE RING, so this is okay to me.'

*walking off with a little bit of a sad face*

BMW makes more contact as they wanted to

'Robert14BVB, glad to see you walking here, is everything okay? The crash looked frightening'

Robert14BVB: 'Yeah, I think it looked harder than in actually was. I am feeling more or less fine, don't feel any pain, but this might just be all the adrenaline which is still pumping through my body. I am just glad that I didn't hit anyone else, I think it was my team mate who was just some seconds behind me. I think this was quite shocking for him to me my completly broken car. I don't know if Tangofoxx get some damage from...'

Tangofoxx: 'WHERE THE FUCK IS HE? I AM GONNA RIP OFF THIS ASS! F*CKING CRASHING ME OUT IN THE LAST CORNER! HEY YOU! INTERVIEW GUY, WHERE IS THIS UGLY MCLAREN MORON? HUH?'

*Tangofoxx walking off angrily and shouting even more, throwing things around*

Robert14BVB: 'Well, I actually don't know what happend to him but it seems like that his race went worse than mine' *smirking*

After their last race at Spa, Team Speedhunters went back into their HQ in Oschersleben to get some new modifications for their car. Due to heavy rain they were forced to test somewhere else than in Germany and so they went for an Charity Race to Montjuic. The sun was shining, the heat was hot and the ground was dry, but the air was full of sound - the sound of racing. The audience was exicted to see the grid and everyone was looking forward to the race. The lights turned green and the race was started. Tangofoxx made a very good start and came into 2nd position. Breaking for the first corner he felt that something is going to go horrible wrong but he kept continuing. Than a hit, another hit, again a hit, again and again and again and again and again. From here on, no one ever saw him again. Only thing to be found were some small screws from his car. The picture below shows the last seconds before the start, this is the last picture of the living Tangofoxx. Pray for him.
