Well, I participated in my first real online race in real virtual cars and I didn’t make a fool of myself!  YAY slash!  It was a very well done race in F3000 cars at Brands Hatch.  I think BH is a very easy course to learn but is still very challenging with hairpins, sweeping turns and a few off-camber corners thrown in to keep it interesting.  I didn’t win, but I was very satisfied with the way I had driven; very clean, but still fast.
Last night I decided to try a different car and a different type of track – a street course.  I jumped into a 2006 WTCC Honda and went round and round the Varna in Sweden.  Varna is a nice, easy to learn track set in a quaint little village.  SUR6E and I both drove ’06 Hondas.  There were two F3000 Lolas there and SUR6E and I beat them!  And SUR6E won the race with a broken suspension, LOL!
We now have Zandvoort up on the server and that is another easy to learn road course, but beware! – there are some very tricky corners there.  Fun to drive in any car. I was able to get the ’06 Honda down to 1:53 and change, and the F3000 Lola pulled a 1:41+.  Feel free to jump in and try it out on the WWW.SIMHOOKUP.COM server in the Steam listings.
See you there!
