First off....Massive congratulations to peerless FMG for winning the F1 1975 World championship
Secondly, thanks to all that participated weekly and made it a great little series, i thoroughly enjoyed that one, up there with my fave sim racing experiences ever i think
The combination of a fantastic looking and sounding set of cars, close competition and a Rift in open seaters made it awesome.
Thirdly, i got second in the championship
probably my best ever overall finish
and i do believe that Team Legends may have secured the constructors/Team championship
so well done to Stefan and i
Great race and qually again last night, loved it.
Qually was very competitive and with only about 2 mins to go i really had to up my game as i was languishing down in about 6th despite a mid 1:40 time
I took a late pitstop, put just enough fuel in and reduced my rear wing to 3 and went for it....got 3rd for a 2nd row slot
I was pretty relieved as meant less fast cars to deal with on the opening laps on cold tyres.
Race start was good and slotted in behind the front 2 but vva mounted his customary assaullt while i was on cold hards and i had to drive quite defensively for a few laps. Once again the Rift helped massively as a quick glance left or right told me where his nose was without me moving across into it in braking zones etc. I think he also had Fabri nipping at his heels. After about 5 laps i started to pull away from them but just couldnt close the 5-7 sec gap to the front fast two. They were always tantalising just a corner ahead but neither seemed to make any errors or lose time.
It stayed that way for the whole race until about 5mins from the end when i flew out of T3 to see Tim recovering from an off of some sorts
so now i was upto 2nd and closing fast on Maxime, but i think he had started to coast to the flag.
Big congrats to Maxime on the well earned win
nice to see another name on the podium step
Well done also to Syd who showed impressive pace in qually
great improvement in pace
Thats it from me for a while, big thankyou to all who attended the races and series for the last few years
