Hi Jefferson, signups are locked for the season. New season signups may start end of August.

Hi Jerome!

Thanks so much for the answer.

Well, you know, I am a little bit persistent. Not boring, just persistent. So I will be posting here, from time to time.
If in a distant future, there is an open space for me, even on the end of championship, I will be glad to jump in!

In fact, I am really jealous about Erik Luke... he is stealing my Michael!!!!! I am loosing my partner, and I will not let this happens!!!
If you help me, I will be very thankfull!!!!

1. How was your race at Detroit? Did you had the season start you have expected? Minus the self spin, self-induced incident and lousy pace - I enjoyed myself! I survived, does that count for something?
2. A very different circuit this week! What are your thoughts on Spa? Fantastic track, but if only I cou x1 x1 x1 x1 x1
3. In iRacing for series with multiple car available, what is the main criteria of your selection? Sound, cockpit view, setup, handling, popularity, etc... I tend to go for the lesser populated car and that moderately fits my late-braking habits. Sometimes it works out, other times it doesn't.

1. How was your race at Detroit? Did you had the season start you have expected?

Not as expected, made a little mistake and I ended last of the pack... after pitstops I could recover lots of position, still no too bad for me.

2. A very different circuit this week! What are your thoughts on Spa?

Gorgeous track turned HORRIBLE with those off-tracks... it will be hard to make a clean lap. And the bus stop will be a mess in firsts laps... will be fun to watch!

3. In iRacing for series with multiple car available, what is the main criteria of your selection? Sound, cockpit view, setup, handling, popularity, etc...

For me, handling perception, I haven't tried to many cars but GTE feels like serious/real driving comparing to SkipBarber or other open-wheel or very light cars

 

[acaro]

It will be a hard race for me, I just hope the guys are not too fast here!

See you all in practice later, I will surely needed as I wasn't able to turn any laps this week.

1. How was your race at Detroit? Did you had the season start you have expected?

I had a minor shunt on lap 4 that did much more damage than I would have expected and caused a 4 minute pit stop effectively ending any hopes of a decent result. I had expected more carnage/attrition than occurred.


2. A very different circuit this week! What are your thoughts on Spa?

Much more relaxing driving at Spa. Eau Rouge can be a game ender if you mess it up. Simply have to watch out for the incident points from off tracks. Easy to accumulate and hope people don't abuse it because you can definitely gain time in spots by accepting a 1x.

3. In iRacing for series with multiple car available, what is the main criteria of your selection? Sound, cockpit view, setup, handling, popularity, etc...

I think it's all of the above but also, which car is fun to drive. The Ford GT is a good car but has no visceral feel to it. It's not exciting to drive.

1. How was your race at Detroit? Did you had the season start you have expected?

I really liked that track and really disappointed in my results.
Had an issue with Sim Commander : They believe I had corrupted files.
Got disconnected within the 1st couple of laps. Took forever to get reconnected and when I did I had no Force Feedback.
Gained a few spots and just before the finish another disconnect. Praying it's fixed.

2. A very different circuit this week! What are your thoughts on Spa?

A track I'm not very good at.

3. In iRacing for series with multiple car available, what is the main criteria of your selection? Sound, cockpit view, setup, handling, popularity, etc...

For me it handling .

 

[mclachlanol]

I might have to miss the race tonight. Not sure if I can get home in time. If I don't make it have a good race guys!

 

[Ozymandias]

Congrats to podium, good race. For me, race to forget, a lot of mistakes.

See you @Watkins next week.

 

[athacker]

Yeah.  BTW, it was your fault.  Your car was in front of mine.  Next time, just stay behind me.  

 

[shawnkenning]

Glad to keep the car in one piece. The handling went to poop from qualifying to the race. My car was loose every single lap going through 10. Close, clean racing so very happy about that. Solid points going into next week.

 

[TRG]

Had a lot of fun racing with you Shawn. Looking forward to next week.

Can you guys make a point in you drivers meeting that, that when you have a cut though penalty and there's a car drafting behind you, the car behind doesn't not know you have a cut through penalty and do not hit your brakes in a straight while being drafted.


Its a shame the protest process gets forgot about and doesn't work in this league.
