I could be wrong, but as far as I remember from watching the finals last night Pavidis finished last in the D final with his RB5.
Now - if this was a nitro car, there would already be a bunch of storys floating around, and an interview with pavidis, giving 'his side' of why he didn't TQ and win with the new car.
As it is, I think people can understand a lot of top racers had breaks on that track.
