Ohh god, racing in the snow is hard. I'm not used to snow racing, so it's even extra hard.
We started the race through the timer, since there wasn't anyone else in the room. right from the start, SK's Opel got in front. I tried not to lose my calm so I could follow quite close. The problem with being on the back is that you can't see anything because of the snow that comes out of the other cars back. ( I am a bumper view user, which even gets things worse). Because of the lack of visibility, I got damage pretty early on both front wheels, but my FD2 could still run well and I kept a good pace to keep up with the Opel. There was one sector where I was blind and was relying on SK' name tag to do the turns. On one of the straights, I managed to get side by side with the Opel and braked later, getting a lucky pass to be in the lead. From there on, I stayed in the lead, winning be arriving first.
I wish all the luck to SK and I'm looking forward for the rematch.
P.S. This challenge will be a lot of fun.
