Got to the server without knowing anything about the car. Well, I knew something - I watch F-1 since 1988 but... I meant the virtual car. At least Silverstone is well known, so it was just time to prepare a setup and... omg Qualifying already??? LOL
Started last, 11th, and it was good for me. Unfortunately, some drivers didn't understand that, with a F-1, the right foot needs a lot of control - unless the car had traction control, deauthorized at the end of 1993 by the FIA. But spinning on the parade lap... anyway, race start.
Turn one, and after passing some spun cars, I tried my best not to hit another. It was impossible, but at least I survived. Kept going till I started spinning. Engine heating... let's go to the pits, try a new wing setup (I was last anyway), and... Lost connection.
The 12 min waiting helped me a lot: opened Silverstone in rFactor, private testing, and now I had a setup, more control of the track... waited till Race 2. Now qualifying in 6th out of 9. But I was too cautious and started losing positions. Two cars spun before the bridge (I don't remember the name of the turns) and I only saw the first one. I lost control of the car and found myself on collision line to the second, stopped car! My only reaction: throw the car to the wall and pass behind it. Looks like it worked, or maybe I hit him... but there was nothing I could do.
Kept going, some spins, and when I finally got the car 'in my hands', started doing flying laps. Last one of the race, 1m26.8 and 4 type-C tyres in yellow. But it was too late. Sixth, not bad....
I'm really looking forward to the next 1994 event! See you, guys! have a great week.
