laps, with an occasional 1:28 lap at Monza. So I finally felt ready
for the ultimate challenge:
A 68 lap race on Grand Prix level!
And now....
My God.
With a nice 1:28:87 practice lap I started on the 19 position. Time to
finally install that AITweak utillity I think.
The start went fine, immediately caught up a few places, but in the
first lesmo it was so crowded, I couldn't hear my own engine, which
makes driving so much more difficult, and I crashed.
Second attempt.
Nice start again, very carefull through both lesmo's, fine.
I exited the second lesmo and was on the long straight, approaching
the tunnel. Slipstreamed a ferrari that was driving close in front of
me, overtook him to the right. Everything still fine so far.
Just before the tunnel, the ferrari was still driving left of me, and
he swerved to the right, following the racing line. He pushed me to
the right, and within a second I was buried deep into the right tunnel
wall. And if that wasn't enough, after a second or two my car started
burning.
Made a great replay though.
Third attempt: drove 2 laps clean, I drove very carefull. What a lot
of concentration does it take to do so.
And then I was surrounded by smoke. And my engine stopped making
sound.
And I didn't speedshift!
Does a setup have influence on the stability on the car? In training
mode, I can't remember the last time that I blew my engine, doesn't
happen oft. But now allready after 2 laps!
Anyway, even though it wasn't really a succes, I had a GREAT time.
Ok, here comes my fourth attempt.....
Bye,
Andre
