RF2: Racing Alain Prost’s 1990 Ferrari around Le Mans, France (1991 layout)

On the weekend of 2019-06-15+2019-06-16, there was yet another 24h Le Mans event. Curious about the circuit, using rFactor 2, I decide to run Alain Prost’s 1990 Ferrari (the famous “duck nose” car) around the 1991 layout of the circuit. Unfortunately, the 1990 mod I use only features the 1990 Ferrari cars (Prost and Mansell), so I injected the 1999 bolides (from a different mod) as the competition, in what became a very interesting racing spaghetti.
Long story short: I am 3 seconds slower than the fastest of the 1999 cars, which seems quite good to me 🙂

Here is a video of a 03:14:7xx lap around Le Mans. First, the outside camera, then the inside camera.

A warning: rFactor 2 seems to have a technical limit of 3 minutes per outside camera replay. This means that I cannot capture a full “Le Mans” lap with outside camera. For that reason the outside camera in this video not only skips 14+ seconds of action but also – and more relevant to the interested viewer – is actually the joining of the first ~14 seconds of a second lap the replay system managed to capture with the true footage of the inside camera.

Listening to "Age of" – "Oneohtrix Point Never"

Listening to “Age of” – “Oneohtrix Point Never”.
At times, refreshing and unusual mix of instruments (namely what sounds like harps and tubes), interesting pitch plays (mainly fluctuations) and album tracks that can feel totally unrelated. There seems to be an investment in contrasts. Frequency contrasts as in having acute moments with a grave background, and acoustic contrasts, as in having simple instruments (e.g. guitar) mixed with complex and artificial audio (e.g. voice transcripts). Nice!

The sinking car at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

Google Earth shows what seems to be a white car sinking into the asphalt at the first turn of circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Canada. I just hope that no driver needs to take that escape route today! The race starts in 15 minutes… 🙂

Besides that funny detail, great imagery from Google Earth, as usual. What follows are some pictures of the circuit, namely two diagonal views (with and without “atmosphere”) which capture the entire layout, one perspective of the surroundings, and the starting line.

You’ll also find a ZIP of a KMZ file containing a “placemark” that you can import into your GE and observe it yourself.
