farce field

 


RSRA 2021 Indy 500 has been cancelled. Thousands of practice laps all for naught. I feel terrible for Pascal Mikula... all his effort, time, and money, wasted. But there was some good racing there throughout all the practice days. Anyway, these things happen with online simulation racing. Some drivers will be serious and apply themselves, others will be more nonchalant, and sometimes the outside world will get in the way. We are not professional drivers, after all.

you travel in darkness when you go faster than light

 


Just signed up for SRO Man vs Track Challenge. In this series we will be racing Ford GTs on long tracks mostly from the 50's and 60's. I think each lap will be more than 10km distance. The vintage format will mean narrow, bumpy roads and little to no runoff areas. It will be tough learning these tracks, but at least the car seems easy enough to drive. It will take everything I got to be competitive here, but I am looking forward to the test. The schedule will take me to the end of the year, and with two week intervals between events, there is time enough to run in another series in another league. We'll see if a viable series opens up when the leagues return from summer break.
