I had a shocker, although that's not too unusual for me, even when I have a reasonable pace I'm so inconsistent I only put a couple of good laps together.

I thought I'd try the Vive out on a race night....not so good for me. It causes some strange behaviour (dropping me into spectator mode of someone else's car everytime I went back to pits, and then performance started suffering and it had FPS drops .

Anyhooo, I changed back to 3 screens and qualified poorly, a second and a half slower than practice.

Race 1 was okay, until I spun

Race 2 was better, until I spun

Next week, wooooooooooooooooo!

Great great fun race 1,I had a ball with close racing(not easy but when done with experienced ppl is a blast) and the final position was really sweet,Good to discover myself a bit competitive in this gorgeous online racing!!

Race 2 :  Well i was still very happy about the fun i had in race 1 that i was sort  appeased.Try the start which was again very good but at the second of lesmo corner i put the left rear in the wrong spot and i lost it,,,well,,,,i let everybody go through and then.........i went to bed!!  sorry but i was really tired

Great FUN!!!!   thx guys!!!!

Hey Simone, I know the feeling :)

I had a good night, I was still learning the combo (total lack of practice will cause that), but the car was far better than it was in the 1st round, something with that track wasn't quite alright I reckon.

1st race; grabbed 1st gear on the 1st corner (ha!) and turned slightly sideways.  But I had a jolly good time crawling a few spots back ;)

2nd race; I was in my spot, nearly all the way through.  I kinda dozed off early on, just could not find the pace, then later I've got it together again, but it was too late by then to make a dent.  So yeah, this race was a bit on the boring side.

Besides I don't quite like Monza, it's a fair bit boring track with those chicanes.  :)


Oh, a big congrats & thanks to everyone - quality of driving/racing is fucking awesome, gents!

First gear was my gear of choice through the first chicane as allowed a quicker exit.

I did not feel much difference, this engine has plenty of torque.  But it was much-much safer in 2nd.  So I've used second every time.  Except...
