I took part in Matthew Overton's rF2 Fun Event.
We ran the three wheel Reliant Robin, 4 gears, RWD, 40hp 850cc, on a Quebec karting track. I had run the rental karts there a few times so why not.
Two 20 minutes rounds on two different layouts. After the second run... e few guys had to go but most stayed for a 3rd round.
Qualy on the short layout, I was the quickest until JT Tami last qualy lap got me by 0.14s.
JT took the start in neutral so I took off and led the whole race until the penultimate lap where I planted the outside front corner in the exit rumble strip... that would stop the car and point it toward the outside. The time it took to get back, JT had pass. Finished 2nd in the first run. In the stream, check at 51:04, JT has the beige and white and I got the purple one.
In the following round, we started full field reversed and I won.
In the 3rd round, a few driver down, it was decided to add a few AI cars, they took off and beat us all but I never had to deal with them. JT had an issue and had to pause for a moment but he had had a few off so wasn't in contention but was still there at the end. The funny bit in that round was, two third in the race, Matthew asked me a question: Gilles do you see any other cars on the track, I answered that I could see the AI cars and then he told me that there wasn>t anyone els... everybody had crashed ! JT was back but many laps down so I won the 3rd one too... not counting the AI.
It was faster keeping the thing flat on the ground but it never wanted to stay on three wheels.
It was a hoot! You guys missed a party. There will be more fun runs during the year.
