really enjoyed that last night, nice to have some proper racing with other humans for the first time in ages with a quasi-decent grid of 12? only need a few more and thats the full compliment of F1 75 cars
Couldnt match my pb's in qually predictably, wasnt used to other cars about distracting! but still got on the 2nd row.
Had a good start off the line but the car then bogged down when i must have changed up too early whilst glancing at the cars on either side of me heading down to T1
to avoid any chance of contact i took a wider line but the combo of off-line lack of grip and cold hard tyres made the car a real struggle for lap1 whilst several cars on softs got amongst us. There were all sorts of battles going on throughout the grid as guys swapped places, any lift of the throttle would immediately allow 2 or 3 cars past. I had a torrid first couple of laps until my tyres got some temp and took me while to start getting my rhythm back and clawing back places which was fun
I even caught up with Fabri at one point, he must have had an off, but he gradually eeked away from me in 3rd place.
Finished 4th, almost dripping with sweat from the effort! (is the ffb slightly ramped up for these? - felt realistic anyway)
Cars looked ace in action and on the grid and many drivers seem to be on similar pace which bodes well for racing
For the series we will have a drivers file so your chosen car will be assigned to you (maximum 2 of each type will be allowed). Personally i still want to try out the rest of the set so will ask if we can run the practise server a bit longer.
