Phil’s Diary - [Blog @ http://www.philsdiary.net/]
So here I am, GT4 licesnse test iA-15. The second to last. One guided lap of the Nurburgring.
And boy can I not understand how it manages to stress me out so much. Sure it’s a long track, ten minutes I’ve got to do that 1 lap in, and you can guarantee that it’ll be close. It’s a narrow track too, perhaps two and a bit car widths total, so not much room for error. And in true GT license test style, there’s no room for error, on false move onto the gravel or grass, one bump and it’s all over:
But that shouldn’t bother me, after all the other licenses weren’t too bad, and the races don’t worry me.
But it seems that this one license test has the ability to turn me into a gibbering wreck. So far I’ve managed to almost make it all the way home. I’ve managed the long straight, and am coming to final couple of turns. But my heart is going double strenth, my hands extra sweaty, and both times I’ve made it this far I’ve managed to lose the car, slide off the track and that’s it. Game over.
Someday I might manage to crack it, but I may well die of a heart-attack trying.
