Someone once said: "The more I practice, the luckier i get".
Monday night's practice went very well as the rookie is slowly beginning to learn the track and the car more & more. She is now starting to picture the track in her mind and that's a very good sign.
A great help for sure is the onboard lap videos of the technically challenging 2004 Le Mans track, from high speeds straights down to 80km corners, and braking a just the right moment....
Le Mans is the track she wants to conquer before moving on and she luves the Audi R8 LMP1.
This time the race was done at 19:30, slightly getting darker.
So watch this space for more updates...

The training of the rookie is going very well...
the steep bank on Brianza
We spent Friday night driving the McLaren F1 car! She loved it!!
racing for track position
We did a few laps with the McLaren F1 beast on Brianza circuit Monza!

Motorfun on Imola & Jacksonville...
The rookie training continues...
The rookie at the wheel...
Last night the rookie and I had gr8 fun on the tracks!
We decided to spend an hour on RFactor, loaded the Mini Mod and learned a bit more on the Imola track. She is getting more familiar and is progressively improving! Im very happy!
Then it was off to Jacksonville Speedway, an old favourite for the rookie.
We took the mini's for 5 laps, but the engine of the rookie's mini blew up! lol! lots of banging as well!
She has done exceptionally well here in the past 2 races on AMM. Won both times!!
American Muscle here we come!

Lots of cars and tracks...
Hmmm...the new racer and I had a few laps on various tracks with various cars, just for fun-after all, thats whats its all about!
Its always great to have rookie that wants to learn the basics, so we start with the techiniques of driving, and at the same time, learning track.
Therefore I chose 3 tracks: Imola, Kyalami and Canada.
We had great fun on Orchardlake, Monaco and Nascar, so watch out for her progress...
