6 years ago i unpluged my g25 and throw it on a black hole, some months ago a friend buyed AC and i did the same, bored of public AC servers searched for a proper league simulation, but i didnt want to come back to iRacing again, so i tested all the racing simulators out there and finally i had buy rFactor2, (AMS its the next one), i searched for some old school racing and i ended here.
With just a day to make the paintjob, and the tests of 5+ cars i had no time to test every car, i never tested this old cars, just the BT20 and just a few laps weeks ago, so looking into the engines and looking at the wings i picked up the eveF1B. Amazing machine, but this MATRA v12...oh god, it gives me terror when today i listened one...
Qualy: After lot of tests to properly stay on track today, im crashed (my old body XD) so i did just a few laps, but after doing all the weekend tests at the online server without much ruber today i was able to run from 10th to 4th position, was not expected, i was expecting to fight hard to stay on 10th or so...but finally managed a "good lap" so far away from the pole, in another world. But enough to stay happy.
1ST race: With my lastest energys started 4th, i know i have to manage it until the last lap, fight can be very hard to mantain at 110%, and today was a hot day for me, so i tried to take it easy and lost the less posible places in the race, + i never have raced before in rF2 so i never did a serious pit stop, + i dont want to enable some kind of hud and i have no idea what speed my car is going, i realized about that in the practice session and did it by revs, so i was 10 kmph slowly in the pits, but mechanichs i think they used 48 secs 49, fast compared to the others time reported, i didnt know that part of pit stops, so in pits i think i lost 1 place, but was exiting race without some kind of hud and with some extrange mirrors , ( i think i need some help with mirrors). I think i finished 5th, absolutly unexpected position, enough for first race after that lot of time.
2ND race: After finish the first one, i was like WTF for real? another 13 laps? ok i can do it, i did like 200? laps in 2 days only with these cars on this track, what is 13 more? ok ok, and now the grid is inverted for the 10 first places? hmmm very nice, i love it but im destroyed, o well and there is no rubber now? hmmm, and Gorka has maked this joke about safety car, very nice feelings, lets do this...clutch engage 1st gear, rev the engine and lets go, grren, the matras sounds like hell, this is going fine, no one has crashed into me, maximun respect, after second turn i dont know how im second, following the Gorka's pace car, i hope he has 120more hp so he can stand next straigh and try to push serious to scape, but he have a BT20 and 100 hundred less hp, so im coming fast in 2nd turn, i dont know if i have pushed him but he go offtrack and now i have to lead, i didnt see if Gorkas car is ok, because i only have right mirror ok so i have to follow, i have no hud so i never knowed until the finish my position relative to the others...After few laps, im totally faded, and the first evils appears on my mirror, its time to be passed because i can not stand a fight now, they are more fast and if i have had more energy i can probably try to hold a little bit and get in fight but i cant so i let pass the cars one by one with no resistance, next race i will try to show up enterely, not body destroyed like today.
Was a pleasure to race whit you all today, im havent been involved in incidents, so i can not wait for the next track, im going to download it now and just look into it. Beautifull sim, nice track, amazing cars, veeery nice people, what more can i say?
