Vanavond start de eerste race van het nieuwe rfactor.org seizoen, Kyalami. Er gaat opnieuw gereden worden met de GP79 mod, deze keer de full version natuurlijk. Werner en ik gaan meerijden wanneer we kunnen (de races zijn tamelijk lang en laat voor een weekdag). We gaan met de Brabham BT48 racen, onder de teamnaam VRL-simracing.be. Op die manier kunnen we internationaal nog wat reclame maken. Andere Belgen die meedoen zijn Rudy Saenen en Piet Debelder. Moesten er nog geïnteresseerden zijn dan moet je je daar en op GPCOS registreren. www.rfactor.org/site/ |

Ik vond die PCC races wel leuk indertijd maar het niveau van de vorige 79 races was way too high voor mij.
Veel meer dan rijdende chicane spelen zou mijn inbreng daar niet zijn vrees ik.

Ah well, took an easy start, slowed down because I didn't want to take any risks. So I ran a bit wide (pit entry) and suddenly I got stuck on 2 pieces of tarmac that apparently have a different height. Took me 40 seconds to get of, but the engine was overheated and by the time I reached T1 is simply blew up. Nice start. :-( Mijn kortste race ooit denk ik.  |

Ik heb zowat 60% van de race met een kapotte Brabham overleefd, en ben als 7e van de 23 gefinished. "It was nice to see Tyrrell, Lotus, Renault, Ferrari, Ligier, Williams and Brabham cars all on one starting grid, and 23 cars in total. But I had hoped there would be more original car choices, it was a nice field but with the Brabham BT48 you won't become a frontrunner. What I remember from the race: I started at the back of the field, had a clean start and made up some places. Then lost some again when I got stuck on the curb at T2, (thank you to the people who avoided me.) Lap after lap I gained spots again when people started to make mistakes. Most of the people I could have raced against had quit after 10-15 laps. Around lap 20 of the 62 I spun at the hairpin when trying to keep up with Zeemering's Lotus. Got stuck, overheated the engine and damaged my front wing. Apparantly that wasn't the only damage, after half a lap I got a damaged LF tire and also my front and rear left suspension got damaged, very weird. So I spun and had to crawl to the pits to fix my tire, thinking about quitting or not. The stop took a while, almost killed my engine but I got going again and still wasn't last. I managed to finish with the broken suspension, making errors and being about 2 secs slower per lap than normal. The last part of the race was just about surviving, and getting lapped a bit boring. I hope I didn't bother anyone when they lapped me, I had to pay as much attention to my suspension as to my mirrors. When I compare this to my normal races it was terrible. But without all those troubles I could have fought for 6th in stead of 7th now with the BT48, no big difference. All things considered the race was fun.  " |

Is dat nu donderdag al weer? Ik ben eigenlijk al genoeg bezig met de Porsches, endurance testen en modden dus ik zal er ook niet bij zijn. En eens die rfactor.org endurance races beginnen weet ik niet of ik nog tijd ga hebben voor de F1's.
