GeneRally Rookie Championship 16 - Race 2 Recap

Hey there! It’s Emperor Slasher once again. Sorry for not posting this second race recap as quickly as the race ends (like in the first race I’ve done) because I had a semester test. However, it’s better late than not doing it at all, because this recap might be useful for non-GR players :D. The second race of GeneRally Rookie Championship were take place at the fast and swift track of *drumrolls* Xavelot!!!



The high speed feel of this course, complete with a combination of fast turns and two tight turns makes the course pretty challenging, considering you have to keep your high speed to the max while weaving through the tight corners, especially the last one. Well, you don’t have to hire Jun Kitami as your pit crew, whereas you don’t have to hire Emma Pillsbury to be your mentor, or even you don’t have to call Ryosuke Takahashi either. The entire road is yours.

TOP RACERS!!!

As usual, let’s cover the top racers first! There was a great battle between mizzamar and Calders! Both of these drivers drove their best just before they are battling each other at one lap. mizzamar hold the lead at the start of the stage, but at the middle of the race, the climax rises between mizz and Calders, and with Calders’ great driving he can overtake him and take the victory of the second race here at Xavelot. Check out the pictures strip below and don’t forget, click to view the full resolution.

And by the way, seeing 5 drivers pitting at once is definitely one of my favorite moments ever on GRC :P.



HOW ABOUT RACING VAN JAVA???

Due to my semester test, I have to pass out some GRC races starting this round (with the possible reappearance on somewhere between 4th or 5th round, can’t miss that Dicrette race). Thus, I rely on two of my teammates: resir014 and SRT8 (Thank God he finally shows up :D). The result? Could be better though because finishing below Top 10 is like an everyday “food” for us. 16th and 17th place? *Gulp*.

But at least, Racing Van Java scores points and have two drivers racing, just like the last race :). After all, we’re not that fast. GR isn’t our strength, but at least we could at least get used to any video games like Sega Rally, Trackmania, Drift City, Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift, Initial D Arcade Stage, Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune, and others that I couldn’t mention because the list is too long and I can only name a few.



WHAT IF I TAKE PART IN THIS RACE?

You might be asking if I competed in this race, in what place I will be finished at? Well, at the time this blog is written, I decided to race by myself using the generic GRC settings. And after minutes of playing, the result is...
























4 Minutes... 41 point... 13 seconds which puts me ahead of Marcondes who has 4’ 41.27” which means, I would placed 11th place. I admit that I’m not Asia’s fastest driver on GR, but at least being the fastest Indonesian racer on GeneRally is enough. I’m here just to show that Asians also has the interest of GR.

Well, that’s it for today, join us as we will race through the streets of the most technical and short track in GRC: Fort Myers. See you there!
