The Fastest Backmarker

Well, I was able to hold on to 9th place in the Driver Standings, but Minardi lost the 4th place in the Team Championship. Both Marussia drivers put in a great performance in the final race, with Edex getting the podium finish and denying Arek the Drivers Championship, and Juris B beating me to 7th place and getting the 1 point they needed to advance in the Team Standings. So, congratulations to Antonio Hreljanovic, I think the first rFR Drivers Champion to defend his title. Congratulations to Mclaren, Antonio and Sexy Brigadeiro, Team Champions. Sexy had that late season podium streak to secure third place in the Driver Standings.

It was an excellent season with the Drivers Championship coming down to the final race. Attendance was not as good as in the past (even I missed a few rounds) but still usually with a dozen or so drivers in every race. I wonder though if we are going to use a new mod for Season 14.

Meanwhile, during the offseason, I'm gonna try out the F1 2013 game. After seeing the rise of FIA Esports Grand Prix I have become curious about the Codemasters engine and the 2013 version was what was available to me. I've done some test laps, and I still need to fine tune the steering response. But the graphics are amazing, and the classic F1 cars section looks interesting, and with the voices of both David Croft and Murray Walker the whole package really exudes authentic F1 product.
