A week ago I found an internal message on the Rheinwehr Neural Net from Konteradmiral Henze looking for volunteers for a race event in Bretonia. I applied and got the honor of representing the Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr at the AWES organised race in Dublin. This was my first ever race, but I was allowed to prepare as much as a I could in the flight simulators at the Hauptquartier.
The first race didn't go as well as i'd hoped as a thruster failure made me fall behind in the race and I ended up last. While still not doing honor to our Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr. Dankfully, I managed to slowly make better progress in the next races. I slowly moved up in the ranks until I finally got a podiumplatz as 3rd in the vorletzten race. It was a photofinish with the 2nd placed Tala! The race got on hold for a few minutes as a Molly tried to disrupt the event. Luckily, the Bretonian Armed Forces were present en masse and dealt quickly with the intruder. In the last race it was more about endurance and survival than finishing, as there were no laps counting at this point and the track turrets were firing full force. Finally I could use my military experience in this race. I managed to hold out long, but just missed a podiumplatz as I got focused down by 2 opponents, taking out my cruise engines. In turn it was only a matter of time before the track turrets took me down.
I apologise if I disappointed the leadership of our Rheinwehr and will use this experience to be better in the future, should you ever have need of my services for this kind of events again. Also I'd like to danke Kapitanleutnant Boll fur supporting and coaching me during the event. Below you can find footage of the race made by our Rheinwehr und AWES.
