Ever since the Red Bull Challenge was added to GT6, I've been trying to get my hands on a 'big' X2014 car. The junior wasn't too hard to get, but the next step up, the standard 'non fan' car was pretty difficult for me. I tried the championship a few times but fell short by only 1 place in the overall standings. I tried a few more times, but every time it just didn't work out.. Untill yesterday..... I finally managed to rise 1 spot in the overall rankings and with a 3rd spot overall I earned myself the car, FINALLY!! I had almost given up hope and had already started to safe up the 3.000.000 credits needed to buy the car, but luckily those credits weren't needed
After currently having driven the car a bit over 250km, I'm actually really pleased with it's handling and performance. The speed is manageable, the grip a bit too much, but very needed to keep the car on the tarmac.
Ofcourse I had to give it a go at the Nordschleife, and set a new personal record at 5:41.259, although off-line. I was surprised to see the game actually scored it as a valid lap. I did take it really easy as I didn't want to invalidate the lap, which worked, but it means I could probably go just a bit quicker next time
Anyway, too much off topic rambling for now, let's get to the photo shoot at hand here... I've taken the car out for a evening run at Spa-Francorchamps, which it a great track for this car, enough runoff, great mix of slow and fast corners, and ofcourse a great track for shooting some pics
I was amazed at how beautiful the sky over Spa looked, and just had to put in a few pictures that were more about the sky than the car.
Let's just get on with it and have a look at the pictures, I hope you'll like'm as much as I do!
