I've just done a 23-lap session at Laguna Seca in an R8 LMS in rFactor, and I'm pretty impressed with my pace, considering it's been over a year since my last race: VEC, Season 5, The 6 hours of Fuji (You can see me on the grid).
After I'd done a couple of 1m25s laps, I had this strange feeling that I ought to be lapping in the 1m23s. Classic subliminal thinking technique, one that I always inadvertently manage to fool myself to drive faster with. Turns out that a 1m23s0 was my Pre-Qualifying time back in the day, with fresh tyres and low fuel! I would have kept on driving, but I accidentally drained the fuel tank when intending to pit for just tyres for the final couple of laps. However, I can confidently say that I've still got it in me
Feels good!
