Time Being

 

After almost 15 years of online simulation racing, at last, I am a series champion! I feel the vibration of achievement and success. I dedicate this championship to all the grid fillers and backmarkers like me. It has been a long and hard journey to get here. Lady Luck rode with me all the way. Thank you Racing Gods for saving my life.

Up next, I return to Racinnexus league with the GT1 Power series. This new mod is much easier to drive compared to the RN mods I have tried in the past. I'm gonna race with a Porsche 911GT1. Sixteen drivers registered so far for this 12 Round series. And of course, I will also run in the next SRO rF1 series, the highly anticipated Man vs Track Challenge with Ford GTs.

CMH | Gold Star Round 8: GP2 2005 - Bahrain Sprint and Feature Races

 

A good event for me; 2 races 2 podiums. This GP2 2005 car was tricky to drive, so I set it up to plant the rear end when under acceleration as much as possible. I sacrificed some top speed, but the car was safer and more predictable to drive. So, in the races a few guys were faster than me, but they were more erratic and eventually fell behind. I was patient and made less mistakes to come through to 2nd place in the Feature Race and 3rd in the Sprint. 

I don't know if it was a better setup, superior technique, or what, but there was no answer for Lorenzo Iturri. He was just way ahead of everyone else. Congratulations to him for 2 dominant victories. I didn't watch his laps but he had a high top speed yet could somehow control the rear end and was fast even in the twisty middle sector.

Big thanks to all participating drivers and to the admins of CMH. It was fun racing and it is not often I get to watch myself on a proper race broadcast. There was even a break for commercials. I should join more CMH events. Maybe next year.

Classic Motorsport Hub holds a series of one-off events that count towards an overall Gold Star award. I signed up for Round 8, which features GP2 2005 season cars at the Bahrain circuit. I miss driving F1 cars and GP2 cars are pretty close in performance so I thought I'd give it a try. I am a bit familiar with the Bahrain track, so it shouldn't be too hard to find my pace here.

It will be my first event at CMH, but most of the drivers and admins I've already met and raced with at the big RSRA events. CMH is also kind of a spiritual successor to the old HSO league, and I have been lurking in CMH's Discord channel for a while, so I don't feel so much of a newcomer here. Now it is time to practice and setup the car. I think I can get a good result in this race.
