It was a fantastic experience!!! It was very well organized, and big names participating like Verstappen, Van Buren and a bunch of professional esports teams like Williams and Fernando Alonso. It was a tough, long race, you are pretty much dealing with traffic all the time so you have to be extra careful to not ruin your race or someone else's race, so it is hard to get into a rhythm.  There were 3-4 teams out of reach, they were just faster and they were not making mistakes. P5 was within reach and we almost accomplished that. Honestly, for a bunch of guys who do this just for fun on the weekends, I think we did well... :)

I want to thank Jimi for qualifying and giving us the chance to be part of his team. I have the feeling he is going to get picked up by one of these teams.

Cheers Juan

Yeah, what Phil said. Just keeping focus and not making mistakes over 12 hours is an amazing feat!
I too was very impressed with the livestream and how professional the event was. Hopefully it is the first of many more to come as rF2 develops.
It was great to see the VRC Aston Martin out there!
Pretty cool to see Max Verstappen too! :-)
Congrats to all of you for racing so professionally in such an auspicious event.

Just getting to the finish in your first event is a great result. I know plenty of experienced teams that seem to struggle to achieve even that. You should be very proud of it.

Now get your VEC licenses and try some more races  ;)

There was a great plug for the league at the minute mark of the linked video.
