I waited until 3am Monday morning to try my first RCR Civic race (for shame!). Had a little dabble in qualifying earlier in the week, but my schedule didn't quite land as I would've wished.
First race, 8 participants, 5 of them C/S and myself up top with another A driver and one A+. A disconnect for Mr.A leaves me and A+ leading the way (well HIM leading the way, his quali was nearly two seconds faster than mine). No prizes for guessing how it went. I managed to tail him until sector 2 when he really started gapping me. 6.5 seconds in the lead by the end
After a bit more practice and learning the nuances of this car (much more fun than I thought it would be), I managed to come back for a rematch. Similar scenario, we were away from Lap 1, I kept within earshot of my competition but his superior technique on several corners were the base for another trouble-free win for the Frenchman. At least he was only a second in front this time.
More of these races, please!
