Sim Racers 4 Life – 2021- Round 3 – Bathurst– Results

[lamer of fortune]

Really enjoyed this race even though I made no earned passes. For me and the group around me it was fairly processional but very close with the challenge being to not screw up. Got lucky in qualy race to get ahead of Tobias who was definitely faster then me. Took a lot of concentration to hold him off for 12 laps. Great driving Tobias! (thumbs-up) You showed great patience in not diving in where it could have been costly to us both. While fending off Tobias I stayed close to Fergy which was surprising to me because he is usually a lot faster than me. All in all great fun. And I percieved no connection or FPS issues so that is always nice.

And oh yeah, congrats to Antti for the win and to the rest of the podium. You fast guys always amaze me.

Rick that was for sure one of the most interesting and pleasing races I had despite not much happening after all.
In the first race I caused an accident when returning to the track in the area of the Pit exit with a white car and I thought that was you but I was not sure. When I then ended up behind you in the second race I decided to play it safe as I might have used up all goodwill in the first race. So you might had a slight benefit from another event. I really did want to overtake you but not at the expense of both of us loosing the race. However my gentlemen pressure was not sufficient to impress you enough to make a mistake. Following a game theory approach I will have to do a stupid move every now and then going forward to make you less sure about what to expect from me as you have the skills to drive 12 clean laps in a row At least our close relation got us quite a bit of coverage in the twitch stream together with Dimitrios who somehow was able to sneak past in the last lap. I had my older son watching therace on the M onitor with me and he asked whether I would now do everything to regain the position. I said nope, it has been a great race so far and I will not ruin our experience in the last lap for having made a small mistake.

I am still feeling good about the close racing we had without loosing control. The VR setup really helps in close proximit driving situations.
