Hi all. Last time,
I promised to narrate you a personal story. A real funny story.
All started a
summer morning back in 2009. I woke up really early in the morning.
At 8:30. I have returned home really late and I have slept very few
hous, but I wasn't in need of some extra sleep. 2009 was the year I
spent the most time playing video games. To be more accurate, 2009
was the year I simply played all day Grand Turismo. Especially, when
summer came.
This morning I came
to a tough decision. To try and win an 24-hours endurance race. Yes,
You read correctly. 24 straight hours race! Without B-Spec help!
That was the
ultimate challenge. I chose Nurburgring 24 hours race. I chose my
formula car and got in. When I started, it was 9:13 o'clock. My
calculations indicated that with lunch and rest breaks I would finish
the race 11-12 o'clock next morning.
I started the race
and from the beggining, I was first and soon I gained some serious
time advantage. By the time 4 hours had already passed, I started to
be ahead of my rivals by a whole lap. A whole Nurburgring lap. I
lunched , I made my breaks, blah, blah..
Not to mention more
info, I will launch directly when the race came in the 15th
hour. It was 3 o'clock at night. I was leading by 4 and half laps,
when the first fatigue signs appeared. My eyes have turned red. But,
I was really determined. At 8 o'clock, the race was in the 19th
hour and my body gave up. I closed my eyes and I felt asleep. I was 6
laps ahead of the 2nd, in other words more or less an hour
ahead. As a result, my car stopped moving. I woke up 2 hours after,
losing my 1 hour advantage and being behind for about an hour. 3
Hours remained till the end and I tried to turn around the situation.
I did my best, but I have lost too much time. What a stupid way to
lose a race.
Despite the fact I
lost 24 hours of my life, I will always remember this day and I laugh
always. This is the reason, I play video game. Not for winning, but
for being happy.
Stay tuned. In the
following posts, I will write about some difficult circuits, guiding
you to success. I am looking forward to listening from you. Have fun.
See you really soon.
Your friend,
Thanos
