First race! (Video page 2)
« on: July 25, 2011, 09:40:05 pm »
 :o. Just entered my first race it is Thursday from 5-8pm

30 min quali and 30 min race.  On the track at calabogie.  Hopefully I can keep my skills in check and keep it on the track as the pressure mounts I may actually drive like I mean it on the track for once.

When lapping I generally drive 8 or 9 10ths, never really at a point where I am breaking mich traction, but I may need to run in full attack mode which means sliding the car at 160-200km/h.

I have no problem sliding the car at 120 or less but at the higher speeds, gut checks come into play!

Should be a blast!   Win or lose!

First to the line.  Quali then they reverse the order, so first starts last and then go!

They reverse the order to make it doubly fun, because the emphasis is on fun, only prize is a free entry to the next event if you win.  So this gives the slower cars more of a chance to succeed.

Yeah haha, there was talk of that...

But then really you start up front and win?  That's no fun, it is more fun catching people and pushing for the win then just doing a Vetel :P

Well that sucks!

It was a pretty fun race, except for one Cayman S driver that was slower but would not let anyone by!  Trying to find a way to get the video out of my camera.

I qualified 2nd, they reversed the grid order and I finished 3rd (stupid Cayman).  I was running identical times to the guy that ran 2nd, the guy that won spends every day at the track (literally no joke) he was 1 second faster.
