Saturday night was the first Great SimV Race, and I was there...knew I didn't have a chance, so Clipper kindly let me judge...
I experienced the race somwhat differently to other people, so please don't be disappointed, especially Grysnak, to find your Extra repaints not in these shots!
The guys who got there early...waiting...
They got to watch me laugh at my own jokes.. what a treat!
For some reason, even though I have the Extra and all textures, people looked a bit....different. Here's the full line up, more or less, at the field which decades later would become San Francisco International. I expect they were on the active runway, though I can't be sure...(Using Golden Wings
)
Lurking near the Bay Bridge, the racers fast approaching after finishing the first task, 'catching the pass' at the local stadium...
A whole constellation of intrepid simmers filled the skies...as wondering San Franciscans stood and gaped...
Next, the constellation of light aircraft descended upon the local carrier for a touch and go... Fozzer's speciality...
The swarm moved on...
Inverting over some small airport, Mobius already had a clear lead by then...
Here, Mobius has just done his touch and go (far left) with the others whipping their engines for more speed...ecko later coming a clear second, and the others in a kind of chaotic bunch taking up the other positions (see elsewhere for results)...
It was a fun race, though very short - we'll know for next time! More laps!
It was great to see everybody there, thanks for coming!!
Happy flying
