What’s more astonishing than his four race wins in a row is the fact he was one of the quickest from the outset. It was another clean sweep of race victories for Alonso including a reversed-grid win from the back. The following week the Legends returned to racing with the Brabham BT44B classic F1 car at Silverstone. What followed were two very haphazard races and he failed to finish both of them.Ī mere seven days later he became a frontrunner in the Indianapolis 500-themed event, winning the first race, as well as the reversed-grid race despite starting it from 21st place. His first race was in the middle of the second season, yet in qualifying at Zandvoort he was only 0.264 seconds behind pole sitter Jan Magnussen and lined up fourth on the grid. He was a late addition to the Legends Trophy category in the All-Star Series, meaning he had far less experience with rFactor 2 than the other drivers in the category.
While Alonso’s two years out of F1 raise questions about how he’ll find his return with Renault, his dedication to esports and the successes he’s had there over the past few weeks present a case that he’s lost none of his speed or motivation. Most recently though he’s been heavily involved in virtual racing having taken part in both the The Race All-Star Series Powered by ROKiT Phones and the Virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Fernando Alonso who returns to Formula 1 with Renault in 2021 will be a grand prix veteran with sportscar, rally raid and esports experiences to his name.
