That went way better than expecting. First time driving the that track (bought at 7pm and loaded an OSR setup and said "HERE GOES NOTHING") and first time with new wheel.
Apart from having a brainfart and missing my braking ever so slightly (making me slowly divebomb Mino - I gave the place back. Though from your point of view it looked like I just screwed up again.) It was a pretty incident free race. Though at the beginning I mistakenly cut the chicane and got a course cut. And honestly, I think iRacing should be a bit more lenient on that for courses where the first element is a chicane like that. It's routine for actual cars to cut and bail to avoid nastier scenarios.
Fun race though. I let myself get to complacent with my spot and fell a bit too far back. Had I know, I would have taken Tony. I like courses where you get to roll on the throttle and manage the rear on a long exit corner.

Not a very good race for me last night, especially after the first 2 races this season. I had a friend stop by unexpected which severely cut into my practice time and quality. He is the one who got me into iRacing, so he didn't mind me practicing while he was there, but I just couldn't concentrate fully.
So I went into the race not nearly as prepared as I would have liked. It showed on lap 5 when I spun coming out of turn 10 and hit the wall hard. I knew it was way too early to pit, so I ran a lap with my damaged car. Then I pitted, got a new car, tires and a full tank, and hoped to make it to the end.
It was close, but I barely made it. I checked fuel going into the last lap and had only .7 gallons left. Ken was 11 seconds behind, so I did as much fuel saving as possible while still trying to hold him off. I barely made it across the line with a sputtering car.
So coming back from 19th to get a top 10 was a good outcome for me. Hopefully this will become one of my drop weeks.
I fell back in the standings, but I was able to hold the top spot for 2 weeks which is a lot more than I ever expected when joining this league. And my team mate is first and my other team mate is 3rd, so I think we are doing all right. And our team still has the 1st and 2nd place team standings, so not a bad start to the season.
I plan to prepare a little better for next weeks race.

Thanks for hosting the race guys! This was my second race with you guys and I was aiming for a top 10 finish so I was very happy with 6th. It relied on a few people dropping out or spinning out but hey whatever it still counts haha. It's been a pleasure racing with you all so far!

I have NO idea what could contribute to the large amounts of black cars. Nice screens. Do you adjust graphics quality to take the screens?
