Gerard should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Congratulations to ozywoodwards. Winning a race in Grand Prix Legends is truly an achievement to be proud of, since it's the most difficult race game I've ever played.

My best ever race was not a race I won.
I even didn't finish higher than 19th.
But it was a matter of endurance, for the race as well as for myself.
I'm talking about the Le Mans 24 Hours game.

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe I am the only - although slightly insane - person in the world who actually raced the whole 24 hours.

I had a week off work and decided I should give credit to the game's name.
I started on a Wednesday afternoon at 1600 hours and finished on Thursday afternoon at 16 hours and 55 minutes.
That's because I paused the game a couple of times to get some food and drinks and to make sure the blood went to my brain again instead of heaping up in my arms and fingers. (I used a steering wheel).

If you keep in mind that in the real Le Mans 24 Hours race a team usually consists of three drivers and that I did this all by myself, you can truly call me an armchair enthusiast.
Or a fool. I think in this case both expressions are valid.
