Yipee!!! OK, it was novice and it was Monza but hey, a win is a win. Seeing as I've played this game on and off for 6 months it is about time. Got the pole with a 29.46 but got smoked by the two loti and a ferrari at the start. Was in second by lap 3 and got first on an unneccesarily dangerous inside pass/braking manuever into CG. Won by 2. Funny thing is I didn't break 1:30 the entire race. Won again later that nite with 5 1:29.xx laps after the first so I think I'm improving. Now I feel motivated again. Off to master the Ring.

Good for you, I know that feel, I enjoyed that more than a year ago. Now on low 1:28 but won�t switch to the ring until I got an 1:27 something. Keep practicing.

Congrats Chris! I just won my first race last weekend as well (also novice at Monza). Started in 5th, made a great start but was back in 5th after running wide at CG on 1st lap. Picked up two places on the next lap on the main straight and then Hill and Clark on the next two laps, again both drafted down on the main straight. Only broke into the 1:29s twice but was ahead by 3 seconds at the end. I know it was only a novice race but it was boost to the old ego. Now if only I could do that at the Ring.
