Open Wheel ROX
05:23 AM on May 31, 2007

Here i am again lol. I was really surprised when i saw that open wheel races are that quality and have full of fun. Theres really close driving with these cars. I made thousands of races (lol) on gtr-gtr2 and only made 3-4 vids about some races. But i made 10 races on open wheel and made maybe 5 vids. I only make vids of races that i enjoyed very much.

In conclusion i can say that open wheel ROX >:D

Heres a vid from last nights race:

Actually Tolga, I was shocked and amazed I was able to run with you (did you see that rocket start? wow :-)

There are some portions of that video early on that should be required viewing for people wanting to learn how to race nose-to-tail and side-to-side with someone, I am still learning every day but wish I could have seen some video like this 4 months ago when I started.
Racing next to you was fantastic, watching how each of us left the other room to the inside or outside depending was just bloody marvelous. Not chopping down at the apex and taking the racing line when we knew the other was coming up the inside, or taking the racing line all the way to the outside at the exit when we knew the other person was coming around the outside, what great awareness we had for each other.
Plus racing that close nose-to-tail and not punting each other off, or getting all excited and trying a stupid outbraking move that only would result in taking both of us out, I can't say enough good things about racing that close to you.

I don't think that I'll ever be able to run that fast with you again, but I can't wait till the next one to find out! :-)

Thanks guys, dont be so modest Tommy, u drove great too. I should add that, the pass i made on u was 1 of the most exciting passes i ever made. My revs were at max for 5 secs coz of drafting u and it was most exciting.

I trusted standard setup for this race and all went well till my left front tyre worn. I knew i should have done something for the first turn but no lol. As u see after mid race i was losing nearly .5 secs in first turn which is huge for a turn :P

Anyways it was a great run with u guys. Hope next rounds will be as fun as this one ^^
