HIGH TECH VINTAGE F1 (1974)

The 1974 March 741, what a car. As someone that has informal educational affiliations to the automotive industry it is to be expected that one should fall in love with a fast old car every now and again. However, I have never aimed to simulate the use of them before now. After watching a couple of uTube videos I’m well and truly hooked; yearning to simulate the adrenaline pumped experience of a speedy drive around the Long Beach or Anderstorp circuit in an old racecar, to be happy & rejoice in the goodness that is Racecar-dom. While google searching the internets to satisfy these yearning desires I found a place where others endlessly obsess about vintage race cars as well as go out of their way to simulate the past with historic races online. The F1-S-R rFactor group is that place. Here hi-tech vintage race car enthusiasts organise seasons of online simulator racing. Catch them here on Facebook or here on the F1-S-R website forum. See a highlight video from their 2nd race of the winter session here:

Below is an onboard 01:23.55 lap completed in my March 741 Jagermeister sponsored vehicle on the Long Beach circuit. Apparently 01:23.55 is slow though, so hey lot’s of improvement to go and many more pleasurable sessions racing the old motor around a track. Gawd bless the idea that practice make perfect.
