Started 3rd, finished 3rd, wasn't bad. My car had a rear end imbalence, and I locked up the _rears_ a few times in the opening laps. I adjusted my braking, and was actually starting to catch 2nd. I got really sideways a few times too. Unfortunately my challenge was halted by some Japanese guy when I was trying to lap him. He re-passed me Senna/Irvine'93 style, I shook my***at him, didn't hit him :) Only 2,000 in debt, next race is May 23rd... any sponsors? Rob

Sorry, just thought you'd be interested. After all, how many other sim racers are motor racing? I'm an ambassador for sim racing Rob :)

Hey Rob, Keep up the reports. I'm sure there would be more of us simmers out there driving in the real world if we could, but you know more than most how difficult it can be. We're rootin' for ya boy! -don

Howdy, Was just wondering what make of FF1600 you're running and if Zetec or Kent engine. We only have Kent on this side of the pond (Canada). I run a 84' Van Diemen regionally when I have money. Good luck and keep those reports coming. I'll post one when I run.
