damn, i started a 12 lap test race with a 25 elise field on the nordschleife. since i was just keen on testing another setup i started on last place. after lap 6 i was on position 8 and went for my pit stop. while leaving the box and checking my rear view mirror for oncoming traffic i drove out on the track and surprise surprise, i got a big hit in the back. i don’t know why the car was not visible but it is really a pity that it is so dangerous to leave the box on the old nordschleife. i really beg that there will be a release of ‚mother 2‘ soon. good news, even in traffic i was constant within the 9:10 and my best lap was a 8:59.78. i think, some more practise with traffic and some finetuning on the setup will give me a chance against stronger opponents. since update 1.4 the ai is really fast (but now they make more mistakes, lots of yellow) so i had to go back to 90% opponent strength for longer races. i do not have a problem with faster opponents but they are not really cool at passing, especially on this thin track.
