It has been a while since I last updated the blog and the news are mounting. I will not write about Jim's races, I will write about Jim's new achievement.
Jim decided to take part in an organisation held in Athens called VRT (Virtual Racing Talent) which in cooperation with Virage Racing Academy ( http://www.virage.ws/ ), are in search of racing talents. The event started a few weeks ago and it is composed of two categories. The first category concerns those whose age is from 16 to 25 and the second category is for those from 26 and over. For more information you can visit VRT's site www.vrtformula.gr . Last week Jim went to Athens to test his abilities against other drivers, who were either sim racers or real drivers in karts and F3.
As soon as he set foot in Vrt's faculties he turned into a legend. The reason why? He managed to achieve the best time without really trying. He had one test for free and one more, which he paid, that would be timed and saved(and he had to do better than 1.38.8) . His first free test which was timed but not registered was 1.37.5, then he did his try, the one which paid for and was the one which was going to be registerd an managed to do 1.37.1. Even from the first day he had he best time anyone there ever achieved. He had booked to participation so he had one more try to improve his time. He managed to decrease his one time to 1.37.0 which was th one which gave him the pass to the next face. One of the promoters there was so impressed by Jim's talent that told him to try on more time but his time would not be registered. Jim gladdly accepted and managed to do 1.36.5!! When he took of his headphones people were clapping and were asking him how he did such a thing amazed by his time! He met many people there and many of his sim racing friend and had a great time. He said that it was one of kind experience and was excited about the feedback he had by the promoters. After he left the competion continued for another week but no one was able to beat Jim's time. Everyone there were talking about him and his talent. He is first in his category and now he is getting ready to excel one more time on th 20th of the month.
What i forgot to tell you is that the big trophy which Virage offers for Jim's category is a week in Spain to practise in Formula renault. It is like a scolarship which means that everything is paid and the winner only has to bring its best!
Bellow there is a video with Jim's winning lap :
I wish you the very best Jim..I am sure you will be the winner!!
Good luck
