The APEX folks put together an Endurance race challenge and invited some RRR1 drivers to partake. I did not know what was going down when I accepted the race invite and it took a bit to understand how it was going to work. Mo-seph, ToBContinued08, Cuz05, and Skoader7 joined in also not knowing what was happening. Sorry you had to leave before the start Mo-seph, I think you would have really enjoyed it.
Race was on a custom track Through the grapevine GP which was a modified version of R*'s Through the Grapevine. They added some features to eliminate some corner cutting.
Car was a stock Comet (was like a GT3 Cup Challenge race)
We had a 3 lap qualifying run which determined the starting grid positions by best lap time achieved. Race was 16 laps, with a rolling start after a warmup lap. The race was over 42 minutes to complete, and we lost several during from connection issues.
I had a decent race. Qualified in 2nd position and held it for 14 laps. 3rd caught up with me and passed when I rubbed a tire obstacle. I fought back and we had a good battle for a lap was making a pass on the straight then I caught his slipstream and it shot me off track like a rocket. I was able to finish 3rd. TBC came in a respectable 4th. APEX has some fast drivers. Bradderz080 was setting amazing lap times, which no one else could touch.
Overall it was a fun race, I would like to take part in another. If you like this kind of thing post up. I think APEX be happy to have us go again.
