In my previous post, I told the short story about how I had always dreamed of racing at Le Mans. Unfortunately, racing there virtually is kind of boring. There are several straights, and they are long and fast. There’s not a lot to do on much of the track but mash the accelerator and hold the wheel straight. I still love the romance of the 24 hour race at Le Mans, but the reality of racing there virtually didn’t live up to the hype.
The race itself turned out great, despite some less than stellar driving from me. I went off course a few times, had car-to-car contact a few times (mostly my fault), but still ended up coming home with the victory after starting in third position on the grid.
The race shuffled the points standings, and the win catapulted me into second place. After nine races, the top five in points are:
- Andy Fairnight (114 pts)
- Lou Mindar (112 pts)
- Antoine Gil (105 pts)
- Conor Clingschmidt (99 pts)
- Derek Brightly (98 pts)
The next event is a sprint race at the Bernese Alps Circuit.
