passed by a Ferrari off the start, then our 4-car train s*** through
Curva, through the Lesmos, and onto the straight under the banking. Coulda
thrown a blanket over us through Lesmos.
As I come around Ascari, the smoke billows, I'm blind! When it clears a bit,
there's a backwards Ferrari sliding towards me from the left. I juke to the
right, pass him by inches, and stomp back on the gas towards Parabolica.
This was so real it was scary. I even yelled a bit when I thought I was
gonna hit him.
At PB, stay to the left, braking hard. All of a sudden my right mirror is
full of Ferrari. Holy S**t that guy braked late. Try to get slowed down but
nope, he t-bones me. Gentle steering, easy on the gas, into the dirt but off
the wall. Just keep it rolling, don't bog down. Get it back on the pavement,
grab 2nd gear, and we're off down the front straight. Try to get calmed
down, don't over cook Curva Grande due to adrenaline.
And that's just the first lap!
So much for having a life, this is WAY too much fun!
