Lol @ 'Rainbow Road' DJC haha, thats exactly what I call RFs moody HDR too lol.
The race, this was the most spectacular and demanding race I have ever done in RF, I sucked and did poorly, but I loved it.
I was not even planning to start, so bad was my performance on Saturday practice. Friday I run OK, Saturday I practiced for hours and never even completed a timed lap. I completed 2 outlaps only without damage that's all. It was a truly shocking performance and probably my worst night ever on RF.
I give it a quick run out on Sunday, I was running much better, so I started the race as it turns out, and anything beyond this point was gonna be a bonus. My goal was not to finish last, and I figured 12th was the maximum possible result I could have hoped for under the circumstances.
I was carrying damage for most of the race! Soon as I got it fixed it was damaged again lol before too long. I made many mistakes, and received additional punishments too I could have done without, finished 15th.
After one round of damage repairs I was an innocent victim in the Nikos crash. Like Nikos said it was nto his fault, I found him stationary in the road, I took 75% of my speed out the car before contact, again I was badly damaged and two more cars joined in the pile up from behind.
I hear some of you claim to have made comical pitstops, well cheer up guys cause mine were worse lol...
I got the pit box right in front of them vertical rails located on the grass verge in the pit. I got a 130 second repair job done, hit the gas and BANG im straight into them barriers within 1 sec of leaving box! It was a real sickener, I was badly damaged. I did not realise that barrier was even there.
So I limp around for two laps, come in for 152 sec of repairs, hit the gas and.... ah jesus I did it again! UNBELIEVABLE!! No excuses for the 2nd one, I know the railings were there.
I lost plenty of time by myself, if tho I was to deduct the pit lane comedy and Nikos crash out of it, I would have got my 12th place optimal finish I reckon, so I'm glad of that. I have never been so pleased with 15th place, I was delighted just to have finished in fact.
REALLY felt for Robert Hedlund who appeared to have rf2 crash on him whilst he was leading. Thats truly sick, an even tougher break than my pitstop repair/insta-wreck jobs.
This was a fantastic race, like the guy above I hope it will be held again too, many thanks SR4L for such a memorable event.
