congrats ra64t

Post by gizmo »

ra64t was recently selected into a very prestigious racing competition. he had to qualify his way into the finals. one of the stipulations for such a contest was little to no professional racing experience. one of his competitors was one the most well respected sim racers in world! ra64t ultimately finished in the top 20%! i thought you guys would like to know.

he raced a formula 2000 car. never spun. never went off track. had generally the 5th fastest lap time. and had generally the 4th fastest lap time.

the winner was that very sim racer. the winner had previous experience in the f2000 on that very track no less than a month prior to the competition.

ra64t had never raced that track before the competition!

i'm proud of the mofo!

i still rue the day he and i take the track in competition. since the last time we paired up in an endurance race, he got the better of me by atleast .5 seconds.

It appears to be a picture of a man who likes to skip his appointment with the barber.
