Probably a WEC Prototype team.

Quite a few. Lately its been a lot of Diablo 3 on Switch, with some Red Dead and Destiny 2 on PS4.

I unfortunately have to call it a season. My work schedule just got very unpredictable and I can't guarantee my availability. It has been a fun season. Best of luck to all in the last two weeks.

1). What racing events did you attend in real life this year?
I didn't attend any of the large official series this year but I did attend and get to drive in the 24 Champcar race at VIR. It makes the 36 car fields here seem tame by comparison. I have to thank my fellow Hugh Jass drivers for that opportunity.

2). Unlimited funds, what type of race team would you start?
I would love to see a series that allows for larger displacement, naturally aspirated vehicles. Something about a thunderous V8 or whaling V12 just makes racing much more exciting to watch / spectate. It would be like a modern take on the GT1 racing class.

3). Are there other types of videos game you play besides iRacing?
I've been on a bit of a retro game kick lately with titles such as Theme Hospital, Lords of the Realm 2, and an occasional game of Star Craft 2. I also enjoy playing Forza Horizon for a much less serious racing game.

Anybody willing to show me around in practice tonight.
I've never driven this config before and after doing some laps yesterday, I'm more off pace than usual.

Hey Gary, I don't know if I would be able to guide you around tonight but I typically find some of the YouTube videos quite helpful. Here is one for the 488, might offer a good place to start. Probably take a less aggressive line over the curbs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1IjrCWSFA4

 

[Gary Schilling]

Thanks, that might help some.

The VRS video breaks the turns down a lot more and the line isn't as crazy.

Hi

Won’t race tonight

Got new pedals installed and need more practice with them. I don’t want to ruin anyone race

See you next week

Guys,

Not looking for attention when I say this, but I’m not running Sonoma tonight because I simply cannot focus. As of this message, I have not heard from my two oldest children (Ages 13 & 9 from my past marriage), who missed school today, and all the signs point to red flag worries that their Mom may be putting their welfare at risk.

I hope I am just overly worried and blowing this out of proportion, but I trust my gut and the signs.

I can’t focus, and need to be available in case I hear from them.

Have fun tonight.

Sad to hear that. Family first. All my thoughts with you.
