Huh, so that was interesting. I had to finish Stage 6 in Victory in Motion and I also completed Porsche 911 RSR (2018) Championship, both as a side-challenge. There was also one full ~30 minutes long break from racing over 24 hours period. So, approximately, 23 hours of total racing (I estimate 0.5 hrs is spent for track loading, 321 countdowns, utilizing Natalia and Eric etc.). Not bad.

Am I tired? Absolutely. Was it worth it? I don't know, but I know something else - it was fun! 😃 Especially my favourites - night races 🤓 It was VERY challenging to keep focus! I believe I fell asleep during one night stint where my lead was well over 10 km just to suddenly drop to 224 meters, hehe.

About 15 hours in was the most difficult period to endure - engine sounds (real race on TV and my Audi in RR3) were too hypnotic and despite proper bot management I had some difficulties to win several straight races due to inability to stay on track. And no, I'm not talking about those usual "off-track" moments but those were I simply forgot to brake and turn 🤣 There was a race where I logged seven 4+ minutes laps in a row and barely won it with less than 50m lead in the end.

But then, in the morning, with sun blasting and stuff, I just moved out to my terrace to solve the problem of being sleepy and unfocused. Success? Yup! - (ok, it's not fair to forget about 30 big coffee cups 😏) - From that point my lap times dropped back under 3:00 and, actually, I set my fastest times in the last two hours - many laps under 2:40, full races under 28 minutes etc. I was also extremely motivated by just looking at those minutes going away and the idea that I'll be finally done in about two hours... in about 90 minutes... in an hour... in just last 10-lapper... yeah. Not because it wasn't fun because, like I said, it was, but because I was damn hungry and nervous 😁 Sitting for such a long period is also meh. I did some quick workouts between the races tho.

I'm happy I managed to finish this without going crazy, lol. I'm happy to see that beautiful Pink Pig winning Le Mans in GTE Pro class and DPR's #77 winning GTE Am. Yes, I'm a huge Porsche fan. Now it's time to sleep and rest. Then to FU my new toy - PORSCHE 911 RSR (2018) - and enjoy it. I just hope its series is good at least. It's hard to beat GTE-Pro: Chevrolet and Porsche's quality and long races, but yeah... 🤞
