today I had my first on-line race! I never could pass my firewall
for GPL in VROC, but the system of N4 seems to be more "firewall
friendly"... Well, actually I took part to two races in Daytona:
the first one wasn't good, somebody wanted to drive on my car,
I went to the pits and recovered, but perhaps the host did not
do well, because the whole event stopped after some more laps.
But the second race was very nice! The host was in GB, I guess.
It was a 50 lap race! I did not check that in advance... Well I
guess I was the slowest driver, but I could mainly stay out of
trouble. Little by little manu others had accidents etc. Also
I had to go to the pits too many times: once I just braked too
hard and one wheel was gone, a couple of times I took part to
some accident, too, and had to be towed to the pits... But as
far as I understand, they were "racing accidents". Anyhow at the
end I was 6th. And I am proud of that! I really finished my
first real on-line race. A big race, I have never driven a 50
laps race in any track! Not AI, not "real"... :-)
