I spent 90 minutes trying to complete one lap at Machwerk 1967, driving Alain Prost’s 1985 F1 Mclaren Tag Porsche, for rFactor, with a Logitech G25 steering wheel, but I didn’t succeed…

But [...]

Yes, the F1 championship is back!
The 2006 season starts at Bahrain. Alex Wurz was the first driver to go to the track, for the first (of two) one hour practice session(s).
