1. What are your thoughts on the new GTE Cars on iRacing? Do you prefer the new GTE or the GT3 Cars?
- Really love the new GTE, love the power and traction. I can't say if the GTE are faster than GT3, but I prefer the GTE feeling.

2. What is your favorite circuit on the schedule this season, and what is your less favorite?
- My favorite circuit is Spa and less favorite is Zolder. I have always struggle at Zolder and I think this track is too short and narrowed.

3. In what other series are you competing on iRacing?
- I don't have time to race in official series! If I would have time, I would go with the Porsche Cup or IMSA!

1. What are your thoughts on the new GTE Cars on iRacing? Do you prefer the new GTE or the GT3 Cars?
-ive only turned a handful of laps in the 488. I love how smooth it is, though I do miss the visceral feel of the 911 cup that ive been spending most of my time with.

2. What is your favorite circuit on the schedule this season, and what is your less favorite?
-Spa is my favourite track in the world, so I'll go with that I'm not looking forward to the Nurbergring.

3. In what other series are you competing on iRacing?
-I dont have time for any other racing unfortunately, but ive been competing in the porsche cup in between PRL seasons.

Greetings!

1. What are your thoughts on the new GTE Cars on iRacing? Do you prefer the new GTE or the GT3 Cars?
I enjoy the Ferrari. I've practiced a lot in the Merc GT3 and really like it. I probably still prefer the Merc just because I have a lot more seat time in it (but still no official race!).

2. What is your favorite circuit on the schedule this season, and what is your less favorite?
I really enjoy IMOLA. Least fav is probably a tie between Zolder and Barber - just don't seem to have good luck at those tracks.

3. In what other series are you competing on iRacing?
I race in mx5 (Global and Adv) and skippies mostly. Dabble some in the Grand Touring Cup w the Mustang and occasionally after I've taken some time and forgotten how frustrating it is, I will try a Formula Renault 2 race.

 

[Lyndal]

So even with a 45 min race, we shouldn't have to take fuel, correct? It seems we're doing 100% fuel capacity. I'm fine with that, just want to be sure I don't need to practice my pit entry.

 

[jeromef1]

Exactly, we will not have to pit as we are using 100 fuel, but don't start the race with 100% as you'll be heavier than anyone else . You'll need to calculate how much fuel is enough for the race

I'm hosting a free 1 hour practice before the league session.

Sorry for the start guys. I was the idiot who forgot to turn the rev limiter off and couldn't figure out why my car was going so slow  . I hate it when I'm THAT GUY. I will drown my sorrows in some beer tonight!

After that though the race was a lot of fun. The season should be a blast, especially with a big field. See you all next week!

 

[Martin]

I would not be back, good season.

You are not alone,that was my first time I lost a car or crash here but still...It was bad.
Of course sorry to Freddy again!
Martin why?Because crash?You could avoid that so easy,it was not malicious so what is a problem?

 

[jeromef1]

I t was a really nice race yesterday!

A few isolated incident, but like Denis said, nothing malicious. As I said in the pre-race meeting, we will all have our bad and good moment this season. With a field of more than 20 drivers, it's kind of impossible to have an incident free race.

I hope everyone like the first race and let's move on to Montreal!

Hi,

It was a good race. We all know that most of the incidents will happen in the 1st corner or 1st lap. So for next race, we should be more careful. It is a question of give and take, respect your fellow drivers. We have lots of new guys that we all now must loearn to race together.

Also, like I said before the race, if you have anything that you want us too look at or anything else, don't be afaris to send Jérôme or me a PM.

We want you guys to have the best racing experience in this league

I think going to a rolling start will help. Those cars are very hard to get off the line. Sometimes you get a good launch and sometimes its like trying to learn to drive stick
