Back in the day!

March 20th, 2008

As many of you already know, the GPL World Cup 2008 has started already! Our own Davy takes part in the event this year again, as a part of the French national team and so far so good! The first race saw him crossing the line in second position with a slower chassis, while getting the win at Spa for the second race.

Last week was the third race of the cup and here are a few words from the 3 time French GPL champion:
"I came into the race without having driven GPL for quiet some time, which gives you quiet a bit of troubles getting up to speed when you got used to the rFactor "feel". I didn't have the opportunity to practise before the race, and was expecting to be really slow, being given a fast chassis that I couldn't waste."
"I managed to re-learn a bit during qualifying, even if it was far from the level we had in the previous World Cup, flirting with the world records."
"The race went really well however, I didn't take risks and got the rythm back step by step without being threatened. What a relief! Mission accomplished!"

The French team lost in quarter finals in its first participation, and came vice champion last year... who knows what they've got to show this year! The fight will be tough, with many nations and talented drivers competing. We'll keep you up to date with the results!
