my first dirt oval race
some impressions - if you want to read more details i wrote a german detailed summary at my german rig report - just google for it - with google translate you will find it
yesterday i had my first dirt oval race - just an outstanding experience
the race was handled by an austrian stock car organisation and i selected the f2 series

you get an full day race experience from 9am until 9pm - some training - 4 pre races and 2 finals. structured in 2 groups - topped by the GRANDE running all class cars.
you get - full adrenaline race action in a quite basic steel frame car - rear wheel drive - and a hell of dirt
racing dirt is not really a calm thing - and it took not very long until someone pushed me into the wall. It was fixed very quick and i was back in action for the next race.
the grande final was the very great happening - 14 cars - night - floodlight - adrenaline - fun - and a very big crowd giving full support to all race drivers. With the race setup, slowest starts first, i also got my chance to catch some points - But beside this rule i was able to keep pace with the experienced guys to - ended up in the small final P4 - and in the big final P4 - so the day result was and outstanding P6 - and this from a rookie who just did some sim laps .....
now the key fact for us sim racers - this entire dirt oval story started some month ago - the guy organizing this event asked me if there is a simulation available - i showed him iracing and he was shocked how great it is matching - long story short - finally i did a lot of iracing training - did some iracing sessions with real dirt oval drivers - and when i was out first the first 5 laps - i was able to compete immediately
