I would recommend everyone try this out, it's an absolute grip-fest. I've not had so much fun on RF2 with any other track and car combo.

Before connecting, go to the manage mods in the bottom of the multiplayer lobby and select the correct mod, than try again. That should work.

Great race, pressure all the way.

We had a restart, as it was pretty bad for most involved. Thanks to all for agreeing to restart. Either that or one guy was racing a lone.

Started in pole, it was pretty close between the top 3, and I got an alien like final lap, it was all or nothing.

On the restart I got a very good start, which doesn't happen usually and put me 1-2 seconds in front of the Axel by the second corner.

I gradually pulled away from Axel and at one stage was 6 seconds in front. I'm guessing he made a few mistakes and was cautious also.

By about lap 20 I was losing concentration and my left hand was going numb and made my first mistake of the race. This lost me a couple of seconds and Axel started putting the pressure on.

By the last couple of laps Axel was gaining on me at a rapid pace. By the last lap he was within a second of me. Although I knew if I paced myself and didn't make any mistakes, he was unlikely to pass me.

Anyway........... I crossed the line in first place.

Well done to all who took part!
