Hi folks here I am
I will follow the board rules and try to give you a short review of who I am.
I'm 40 years old was born in austria where I still live (upper austria).
Good old austria where the taxes are high and the sun does not shine
My fist sim experience I earned around 1996 with grand prix II from micropose. It was a legendary time I had with my buddy. Whole weekends full with fights.
A bad accident with a supersport bike zxr-r 750 in 1997 and the birth of my doughter changed my life dramatically. So my sim racer career ended in 1997.
In 2012 I deceided to start again with sim racing and after some research in the www I have bought rF2. Tried also race room exp. and actually I follow the progress of AC but IMO they are all far away from the details I expirence with rF2.
In my working life I have to lead my own IT company with ATM 6 employee therefore it is sometimes difficult to impossible to take a part of announced events because my first priority has to be successfull with the company.
I think most of you know me under my synonym alpha-bravo which comes from the first letter of my real name Alex Baumann.
If the time allow I love to do soaring in the alps with ATM a ASH 26m double seater (glider).
In spring I was gliding with the ASH in the french alps for two weeks .
Second love and hobby is still riding my motor bike (ATM a KTM 999-SMT)
Also actually I think about to do some hill climb races in the 2015 season because this year I met in Spielberg on the red bull ring some people which could make this possible. Not sure ATM but I think seriously about it.
Here two links where can see what I mean first is from Wolf (team owner) with his self build ProSport LM 3000.

Second is from Hubert with a customized Indy (dallara ir-9) look at 1min 21sec and Wolf look at 8min11sec.

ATM I try to support them in terms of electronics and analysis engine data (much to learn but very exciting)
Thanks for attention

Re: Hi folks here I am
A big warm welcome to Legends Alex. Look forward to meeting you on-track sometime in the future but basically I am now retired from serious sim racing due to old age brought on slowness on track. I am sure you will really enjoy your time with Legends.
Best Regards

Hi Alex, I have raced with you many times before, look forward to doing so again soon.
You know the schedule is all 1 week behind the schedule now, as we skipped a week owing to the world cup final. So this week is practice week at Poznan, not the point scoring week which is next week. http://legends-league.com/twfr/index.ph ... Itemid=649
