Sign me up please. Almost 2 months since my last race on RD, but finally Logitech replaced my broken G27 with the G29 wheel and I am back! Haven't had time for practice though, so the candidates for the last positions will have to compete me!

Let me in

Fabrizio · Dec 28, 2015

Something came up guys! Sorry, priorities!

Have a good one!

Anthemius · Dec 28, 2015

After the incident at the very beginning of the second race (not even at the first turn!!!), I retired. Actually I think that I heard sth about restart and I thought that we were going to restart the race. Anyway, First race was fun, actually I had a continuous improvement during the 1st race and expected that the second would be even better.
Thanks for the race Tobias! The combo was great!

Thanks @Tobias Röhner good car & track choice and the two race system works really well!

Hopefully I can make more events, was really fun tonight although not for @Si sorry to hear about your issues hopefully we can have a cleaner race next time, remember it's not all done on the first corner!

Thanks to the back markers for making it easy to pass and safe too!

Great event all!

I think that I was the key player for the collision of the second race. I was sliding, hit another car and spin after that. Sorry for that maneuver.
Anyway this two race system was good idea. Hope that we see a lot of races with Escort. This is so fun car to drive because lot of oversteering

Here is second race in my point of view.

It has been a while since I have raced here at RD (back to the good old Race07 days

) so I didn't think I would be very competitive with this car as it's quite the handful to drive.

The opposite turned out to be true. Started as 4th in the first race and after a good start climbed up to third. Had a nice and fair battle with Tobias for second later.

Couldn't catch up with John as his pace was simply too fast for me so I had to bring it home for second place. Last couple of laps we're quite sweaty as Tobias came closer and closer but I managed to keep the gap big enough to hold second place till the finish.

Second race started from 2nd place and after another good start I shortly challenged John for 1st after he took off into the distance as his pace once more was too much for me to handle.

his was more of a loner race as a simply had to keep the car on the track to hold 2nd. Although with a couple mistakes (damn this cars' tricky to get the power down properly) crossed the checkered flag for 2nd quite easily.

Thanks for hosting and I'll be competing some more in the various clubs here in 2016!
