Since I've played this kind of games for about 7 years, it is very fun and challenging but once in a while I will get a rest, then I will come back again. And that happens for no particular reason. I just wanted a break from playing rFactor 2 for a while. So I came back to the last race of the season and looked forward to it, because I did some practice days before and I managed to build up some confidence again. Also, this version of Le Mans is one of my favorites. 8) It went well and I "polished" my setup a little, from alot of oversteer to just a little made me go faster and faster, from something like 4:12s to 4:09s.
Qualify: I joined qualifying kind of late and didn't wanna push so hard becasue I was not able to warm up. But around 4:10 - 4:11 put me in 3rd position which was good.
Race: I do often have problems with getting too much/too little wheel spinning in the starts, but this time it went pretty well. Though I didn't keep my position up to first corner, I was 4th or 5th but I could take it back again. Chasing Coyne and Cruickshank in a comfortable gap a couple laps and keeping my position went fine, and when I looked back I didn't see anyone in 5th position so something happened in the beginning I guess? :o Anyhow, a few laps later Cruickshank and Coyne were still fighting and I closed the gap, so when we were in the 1st corner again, I planned to go overtake on the inside, but both of them braked too late and went out in the gravel, so from there I kept my 2nd position to the finish flag.
The 2 hours race really went fast but wasn't comparable to our "normal 30 min races", because afterwards I noticed how tired I was from keeping my concentration for so long. So finally, this was a great, challenging way to finish the Brabham BT20 season! Though I missed many races, I'm still happy because I've had some great moments and my race results have been better than I expected, and way better than the F1 Eve last year. Thanks SR4L for a nice league and see you again!
