And the low amount of signs up, could been seen coming from miles away. Premium and running stock content = tool for failure. Even thou I haven't raced for, I don't know, 2-3 months? I still have come here every single day, to check if any interesting combo would show up. None of the proposed ideas like, possible any unofficial series, etc were delivered either.

Also, I am kinda disappointed that without any warnings you just decided to stop hosting, without possibly checking up with us, a part of your community, with a poll or something, the reason why we haven't signed up for the last months. I'm sure many have switched sim due to they just grew tired of no innovation. But I respect your decisions, and I had have a great time here.

I will still stick around on RD, for the casual posting here and there, but I guess my days as a Sim racer is over then. So in a way, what can be better than go into the jaws of death on Nordschleife and hoping for a glorious battle?

I'm in!
 
I'm in. Pity it's all over though. Thank you Dennis for your service here. Out of interest, what happened to the Irish father and son who always raced Race 07? The Blains?

I would have raced more if low aids were allowed. in the more powerful cars. Loved the radicals too.

Nevermind, the Nord is a good place to end it all.

Ah sorry mate. I expected that explanation. Unfortunately I'm in a long meeting on Wednesday. Was just hoping my first guess was wrong and it would run for longer.

By the way is there a chance for another time trial? I could imagine something running on a shorter track, with only one car and maybe one or two weeks. This would give those like me a challenge, who can't run at a specific day time. And the suggested format could lead to very close gaps in the end. I could name some nice (addon)tracks if you like to but also would like many of the stock tracks. Just a thought...
 
Well, that could had gone better. However, I knew I wasn't going to produce any good results.
These older WTCC cars are the ones that I have least experience with. I think I may have only raced with them 3-4 times since I joined RD back in 2010 and I have always picked the Alfa for that.
And the Alfa is pretty easy on the handling.

But, since this is likely going to be my last race with RD (unless R07 is still going to be used, which it seems, it wont), I wanted to try something new. Step out from the comfort zone and go up in flames!
So I picked the Volvo, and what a complete disaster. Every corner it felt like I was a part of a Tokyo Drift event, and therefore I had to fight the car constantly. I have to admit thou, it felt pretty good, taking a corner in full drift mode, but as a race car, I think Nordschleife might had been little to much for it to handle. I had a few spins, some caused by me, and some caused by others. But hey, it's racing! If you don't race like they do in BTCC, you're doing it wrong!

So, I guess, this is it then. I want to thank you @Dennis Phelan and @Björn for keeping R07 alive as long as possible. And thank you Björn for the creation of the skins. A part of me, can't really believe it's over and the same part of me wished it wasn't. In a way I feel responsible for R07 demise, but what to do, when you have more or less raced with it since it's release, and you start to look around for things, to keep your interest up, just to find that it's no go. You grow tired of it, and take a break, to return later, hoping for some change.

GTR2 is even older, but I still play that game every single day, due to mods. I will do the same with R07. It's due to modding and that keeps a game alive. Even if it's being considered officially dead.
Games like Oblivion, Fallout and early 2000 games still alive and kicking today.

Anyway, we might see each other in other games. Who knows. So again, thank you and a big thank you goes also to all who has raced with us through at the years.
