Well, there has only been 2, but its been quite the experience, and I’ve learned just how far I’ve got to go if i want to catch the fast guys. We race every Monday at 7pm GMT, been quite the enjoyable experience and giving me the chance to spend time researching better setups to get all the speed I can before each race.

I figured I’d get them recorded, its quite long, wouldn’t expect for anyone to actually watch them cleanly through. For the most part its just me driving by myself most of the time. But heh, might as well have them posted for record keeping. :>

As for the league I’m racing with, you can find out more by visiting the link below. The guys have been very welcoming, even if I feel so so slow compared to them.

China is for upcoming race on April 13th-15th. This track can be very brutal, especially in the wet.

Thankfully, the video of the race below is me driving in the dry. It gets very messy when wet, which qualifying was nothing but rain, rain, and more rain. Leaving me to do a horrible job, aka, the reason for starting 10th on grid. Granted, I am proud I made it to Q3, but I was too slow to even come close to 9th.

Definitely tells me I have more to learn about car setups and driving in the wet.

Website Changes

In case you’ve visited in past, I have made some changes to website. Mainly, the main background has changed and now when you click a racing game, the BG will change to that game. Hopefully everyone likes, thanks for visiting.(I”m sure you can tell I’m obsessed with racing. :>)

This where the first race was on March 18th. But this is just one lap around the track, it can be a tricky track, but very fun indeed.

So, I’ve been a bit behind on posting, but would like to have a vid of race or at least a hotlap of me driving on all the tracks before the actual F1 races.
Here is 2 vids, first one is me hotlapping around the Sepang track in Malaysia.

This next one is a bit long, so feel free to skip around if you get bored. Definitely interesting one, I messed up in Q3, causing me to drop to P2 last minute, but o well.

Driving Formula A with G27, no aids/assist

This game is certainly just too awesome!  Even if this game is only pre-alpha, it brings lots of fun.

Or Project CARS as it is technically called.  It’s still in pre-alpha stage but has been playable for quite some time now.  Anyways, this game is very unique as instead of using a publisher, the devs(Slightly Mad Studios or SMS) is allowing us, the regular folk, to fund the game, and in doing so giving us monthly/weekly/or even daily builds depending on how much you pay to help make the game.

Which actually starts very cheap,  10Euros for monthly builds(Junior), 25Euros for weekly(Team Member), and goes up from there.  I paid for the Team Member(25€ or around 32-33USD) so I could play the weekly builds, and boy, is it totally worth it.  SMS encourages people to post up youtube videos, screenshots, and pretty much anything we want giving a true sense of freedom even though this game isn’t even in Beta yet.  They also have forums in which they are very active in and while I mainly lurk,  it’s great to see so much interaction amongst devs and just regular ppl.

They even listen to suggestions which make me have so much respect for them, I can’t even put it properly into words. Yes, this post is mainly butt kissing, but I am enjoying this project a lot, and while I am fairly new to sim racing, I am learning a lot just from following and getting to play this game as it is being made.  They even added a Formula A car in this latest 144Build, and it is such a joy to drive, I definitely see as time goes by, I will be getting more addicted to this game.

However, when I need to wind down from some intense racing, I play some PartyPoker.  I’m actually not very good at poker, but that site makes it easy for me and helps me get better each time I play.

End the end, I still need to do my own video of me playing pCARS,  but at least there are already a bunch of vids on youtube. The game is coming along great, and will be out for PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U, sometime late this year most likely.  So definitely a game to look forward to if you’re not wanting to try out now.
