[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jan-03-03 AT 06:30PM (EST)[/font][p]Well, I promised some of you some racing shots, so... This is my last F1 post, I SWEAR, don't worry, I'll get back into aviation in no time!

------ Back into the A1 ring for the weekend ------

These are some shots taken during the qualifying session. I'll be driving the Arrows A23

A view from the main straight of the A1. The A1 Kurve at the back of the shot

Out in my warm-up lap to set a qualifying time

Well done, Nick! Nick Heidfeld confused the gas with the brake, so I hit him from behind. Surprisingly, I was given the penalty and sent 5 positions back from the position I got after qualifying: they put me in 17th place, so, I'm on the back of the grid.

Anyway, after qualifying comes... the race! Here we are in the middle of the Austrian Alps, in the fantastic A1 Ring

The starting grid...

And... Go, Go, Go! A good start by me, somebody "fell asleep" and I had the chance to overtake many cars!

Approaching the Castrol Kurve, the first one after the start. Look, I'm in 12th position, not bad!

Ooooh, not bad at all! I took the curve from the inside and went out with good traction, I'm 9th now! I just passed Jarno Trulli's Renault; Nick Heidfeld in the Sauber is up ahead

Closing on Nick Heidfeld. This is the straight that leads to the G�sser Kurve.

Almost cleared Heidfeld... next time I'll atempt to take over Jenson Button, who's driving the other Renault. We're in turn 3 already

Turn 4! Closing, closing...almost there... come on, MOVE!

ALMOST THERE....!!!!

WOOOOH!!! I pass him right before entering the curve, to find a slowing-down Fisichella in the yellow Jordan
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...2a52c69061.jpg

NOOOOOO, NOT AGAIN!!! A steering problem forces me to enter the pits long before scheduled
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...6952f54bee.jpg

Ok, fix me up, I have to get back on racing!

After I got back to the pitlane, my computer crashed :-( , so I couldn't finish the race. Anyway, I hope you've liked these shots... I promise not to post anymore F1 pics for a looooooong time! :-lol :-lol :-lol

Cheers!

Where in the world is Jos "the Boss" Verstappen?

Don't worry, they won't delete me this one, since it's the LAST ONE... will you, guys, admins...? :-lol :-lol :-lol

Hehe, I'm a sad git, I once flew to Brands Hatch (using the VFR England scenery), then did a race there (using the F1 2002 GT Mod...)

How sad... :D

Surely you know about race central?

Great forums where you can even learn how to drive. I got F1 2002, Rally Trophy, NFS Porche Unleased, Rallisport Challenge, Nascar 2002, and am still considering getting the best of the best GPL even though it's ancient. Anybody know if GPL runs in 32 bit color?
