Practice, Practice and more Practice....

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...

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!!

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...
