It's safe to say I had a good time last night! It's been especially nostalgic since I did my first ever online races around here in rFactor 1, driving the Megane trophy mod on the BROS public servers with a PS2 pad! So it was very nice to come back and get a win.
Thanks to @Noztra, @miagi, @DannyvdMeer and @Alex Salmon for the battles! Here's my video & Timestamps:
13:44 - Qualy lap. Super close to cars around me.
24:20 - Race 1 start. Some touching, a little bumping, no harm done though. Down 3 places, then up 1.
33:05 - Caught up to the battling cars ahead, with Noz towing up behind. In the hunt.
38:10 - A mistake approaching the fast chicane starts a great fight with Noz. We swap places 3 times, before a mistake spins Noz out. Still in P8, but Danny is now on my tail. Pushing to catch back up to P7.
50:22 - I go for a move on Miagi, but I underestimate my overspeed and nearly go straight on. Thankfully he sees me coming and cuts back to retake his place without contact.
51:17 - Miagi makes a mistake on the fast chicane, I get by going onto the straight, but he 'pins' me to the to the right side by sitting on my left rear corner so I can't move over to defend. Back to P8, and Danny is right with us, approaching the final lap.
54:00 - Final battle with Miagi. I get a run onto the back straight, but he defends immediately, so I'm forced to go around the outside. I get alongside around the corner, a little bump, and the track disappears in front of me, and knowing the curbs would probably kill all 3 of us, I cut across the grass and lose a place to Danny behind. Down to P9. No bad feelings, I just got snookered
1:03:20 - Race 2 start, starting P2.
1:08:33 - A slide in the final turn puts Alex onto my tail. I hold him off as long as I could on my still cold tyres, but he gets by on the back straight. Down to P3.
1:14:00 - The top 2 collide ahead. up to P1. Uneventful run to the flag from here on. Just pushing for quick consistent laps to build a safety gap to the quicker cars coming through the field behind.
1:32:05 - Final lap. I catch Angel on the back straight, who wanted to do another lap, so I follow him home...
1:34:00 - ...until we meet again on my sideways celebration lap!
