First Pre-Race Interview is Up!

 

[Gunner]

1-New season, what are you expectations for this season.

I have no idea what to expect! I'm pretty new with iracing as a whole, this car as well. It won't bother me if I end up at the back of the pack(probable) as long as I can have the odd battle with someone along the way. I'm in it for fun and some good racing.

2-Looking at the season schedule, witch track you think will gives you the most challenge and why.

I can't give a good answer to this, lots of the tracks I am yet to drive on. I find brands hatch tricky but hope to figure it out still. At least we start on my favorite monza!

3-Who is your favorite race car driver.

I am rooting for Vettel and Ferrari in F1 this season, but am also a big Alonso fan. Poor, poor Fernando..... At least he will have fun at the indy 500 right?

 

[PRL-Sammy H]

1.  Just like all the other series looking to simply have fun.  I want to enjoy the racing with battles whether I am in the front or the back just have fun racing everyone.

2.  I think for me it will be Oulton Park simply cause I have yet to drive this car on it.  I have driven all the others and I know they will be quite fun as long as ALL THE DRIVERS WHO SIGNED UP STICK AROUND FOR THE SEASON!

3.  Depends of which racing we are talking about.  Nascar definitely a Harvick fan as most know, secondary would give it to Junior.  F-1 I like Sergio Perez and Riccardo.  I like Hamilton and Vettel but I like to see the underdogs in the mix.  I met Riccardo at COTA a couple seasons ago along with Sergio and they both were extremely nice and very crowd friendly.  Drag racing, well anyone who knows me knows I have strong ties to John Force racing so all of there teams John, Courtney, Robert, and Brittany.

 

[Eric Roberts]

1-New season, what are you expectations for this season.
Really looking forward to the oval side of it, and for Eronic Racing to make another run at the team championship.

2-Looking at the season schedule, witch track you think will gives you the most challenge and why.
all the ones with right hand turns, and because they have right hand turns.

3-Who is your favorite race car driver.
I only really follow NASCAR so I cheer for both of the Truex boys and Austin Dillon ( I think It's just the number) #3
I like Ken Block, Travis Pastrana,  and the Stig!

 

[TRG]

1. I never like to have expectations aside from having fun and hopefully improving my skillset.
2. Tough call. Probably all of them!
3. I'm with Gunner - I am a big fan of Vettel and Alonso. I think I just like drivers that have fun and aren't afraid to be goofs.

 

[xvalue]

1. I am completely new to iRacing, so I will use the Lance Stroll school of PR: "I'm just going to try and put together a complete race"....of course, I'm going to try and not do what Stroll has done thus far.

2. The biggest challenge I think will be either Mosport or Brands Hatch as my lack of experience will require much preparation.

3. My favourite driver right now is Max Verstappen, but that's only because I think he's going to take over F1 in the future.

 

[PRL-Sammy H]

An EPIC opening race to the season. Lot's of great battles all over the track the entire race. Can't wait for next week!

 

[xvalue]

Great race. I'm really impressed with the quality of driving on the opening laps.

I was running higher downforce so was getting mugged on the banking, but it allowed me to be consistent throughout my first league race - which was my goal.

See you all at Brands Hatch.

 

[Carsten Quint]

Awesome clean race guys. Everyone did really well out there. I think the pressure of leading got to me there haha, not used to that. I'm sure I will be right back in my usual middle of the pack spot next week.

Lol, well for the first few laps there was no midle of the pack

Welcome to the back markers Carsten

 

[Gunner]

Great race guys, I had a lot of fun. I hope to come to grips with the car more as the season goes on, it's miles different than the F1 2016 I'm just finishing up next week in. I spun like 3 times haha, but all my fault. I look forward to the rest of the season with you guys!

P. S. sorry for the slow start on the line, I have literally never launched this car before and it bogged down pretty bad. Live and learn.

You'll win a race Carsten this season, I feel it!

You had some crazy quick pace, Carsten! Real bummer about your race but draft tracks are unpredictable man. Looking forward to next race!

 

[SharkV]

Hi,

Was a great first race for the season.  Lots of respect between drivers who were fighting.  I had a blast battling for the front the 1st 10 laps. Was able to take advantage of other's mistake to get to 1st.

Thanks to my teammate for his setup....

I thaught that we would do a 1-2 finnish, but too bad he damaged his car...

 

[jeromef1]

Nice win Dany! I wish I could race with you guys
