Hey guys, it has been a while since I've raced. Last sunday I had a great time. Qualifying was splendid, ran a 1:23 something which placed me 7th on the grid. Had a great start first race, got tapped from behind but I controlled the slide. I was trailling Bram and Kane mostly during the race. After the third lap I was already getting into the zone, going faster each lap which helped me go for a late pitstop. After the pitstop I continued with the same pace.
The feeling of being in the zone is really amazing, especially in racing it's really incredible. When your muscle memory takes over you can ease the concentration and start thinking more consciously. That's the scary part of racing, when you can watch yourself control the car and actually think about other things, while going 200kph through corners.
As time seemed to sort of slow down, I could hear the tyres screeching with each turn I made. This encouraged me to go faster and push the limit. When I had 4 laps to go I overdid it and span. Luckily it wasn't a lethal mistake and manage to get back on track. My tyres were super hot and it was difficult to keep driving the same pace. The lead I had was good enough to cruise to 5th place.
Race two was fun. Defending position against Marcel like I used to
But of course I had to give way eventually. By then my tyres were completely smoked and I span out at the high speed chicane, crashing into the barriers. I tried to repair in the garage but the repairtime was too great. I continued driving a couple of laps but decided it was enough; so I went full throttle in the barriers on the main straight into the barriers, killing myself in the process, haha.
What can I say more? I really enjoyed myself racing again. My rf2 license has ended now but I will return one day to keep on racing. If not rf2 then some other game, it's just something I love to do.
