March 11, 200719 yr #11 good stuff!make sure you keep us posted as this is very cool!!imagine choppign nico rossberg, even on a simulator that's worth its weight in gold!best of luck bcl jnr!
March 11, 200719 yr #12 Thanks for the well wishes guys.It should be a challenging run tommorrow. I've met my competition, and I can tell you they are not sloppy drivers. Both are regular kart racers, and one of them has been driving formula ford.We've all done the same time within 0.02 seconds of each other as our best lap, so its going to come down to who has the strongest nerve (and the biggest balls on high speed corners) on the day.We kick off tommorrow at 11am in circular quay. Rosberg is up first, then the rest of us have a go. Feel free to come down for a look see if you're in the city.Time for a good nights sleep. I'll let you all know how I go.p.s. in terms of the prize, I have no idea what cars we get to drive, or track, or country the final is held in. I guess the winner finds out later on in the year.cheers.
March 11, 200719 yr #13 Best of luck tomorrow mate, although I suspect luck will only play a small part.
March 11, 200719 yr #14 Sucky rules though..He's already won the competition but has to race off with the other guys that didn't win to get the trip? Must be like the Irish lottery Anyhoo, congrats to your son.
March 12, 200719 yr #15 Hey guys, I didn't win.An important lesson was learnt today. I took it too conservative and paid the price of losing.There's always next year cheers,Dave.
March 12, 200719 yr #16 That's no good mate... congrats on getting to where you did though!!Nice one Jack

I took it too conservative and paid the price of losing.There's always next year cheers,Dave.←As they say "no guts, no glory".The organisers decided to change the braking setup of the cars (it had computer assist baraking), so the guys had 1 practice lap to re-learn braking points.Rosberg was a bit anxious, but he did well considering he had not seen this track before.Well done anyway..... still a free trip to Europe would have been fun!Brian
March 12, 200719 yr #18 Bad luck Dave....still would of been great fun though Just curious what racing sim were u guys racing in? and what was the pc setup/cockpit using? controllers, screen ectI have been playing racing sims since I was quite young too. Im just wondering if it was something I have played...
March 12, 200719 yr #19 good effort but!how far off rossberg were you?still a good tale for the grandchildren/pub..
