Exciting season-closer ITB race video

[924Guy]

I've finally gotten video from this last and most exciting race of the season uploaded on my website:

It's 32Mb, and is the last few laps of a very exciting race from flag to flag, going for the ITB win at Waterford Hills. Final margin of victory was 0.017s, the video still capture of the checker is below - with 3 attempts on the lead on the last lap alone! A very fast, fun, furious, yet clean race on a very narrow strip of asphalt - shows how it can be done!!! Check it out, I promise you won't regret it...

That was a good video...you sounded pretty happy at the end. Some good clean racing, that video shows what it is all about.

That's a very tight, technical track! Didn't see a lot of brake light activity, and heard a lot of loud pedal action, so you guys were really goin' at it! Shame that you don't see races like that more often. Don't know if I could handle it, though. I might have to boost the battery on the pace maker. :P

Wow, nice racing. Dave Gran should put a link to it on his book site.

Very Sweet I got goose bumps watching it!


Best of luck!

geeez......if the guy in front wants to hold you back, it looks like theres not a whole lot you can do about it on that track. Nice win.

[924Guy]

LOL! Thanks, but I didn't win! See where his bumper is in that still? Pass was made about 10 feet after the stripe.

[lateapex911]

Oh, sorry, I just guessed you won from your reaction on the tape, LOL. On THAT track you should have been scored a victory just for getting your bumper up to his front wheel, LOL.

Cool video and it sure looks like a fun, technical track. I have to say though, I was a bit surprised by the lack of any kind of barrier between the back stretch and the section of the track just before the long, double-apex l/h turn just before start finish. There's a small x-over road there. I just had visions of someone running wide there, getting off on the grass, and heading stright for the back stretch right where you exit that long r/h turn.

Cool video, makes me miss racing even more. You need to bring that game to the ARRC.

That barrier question has been raised elsewhere too... but I've never heard of it being a concern; trajectories of cars don't end up with spatial conflicts in that area, really... and that access road is definitely necessary to get to the turn leading onto the back straight; if we have a big hit, that's where it's going to be. That's where both of mine were. High speed - like Turn 1 at Mid-O - but very little runoff before the wall, therefore definitely requires more of the Vital Equipment to get through at full-tilt!

Yeah, I desperately want to get down to the ARRC, but whereas before I had the budget and not the game, now I have the game but not the budget...
