Racing was intense, absolutely love the way these cars drive. Race 1 was the hardest I’ve done yet. Qualified 4th but got a good start and was right behind Josh pretty quickly. Drove absolutely flat out with the gap easing out and closing several times until a small mistake gave me the tenth I needed to make a move. Not before Josh’s car started overheating and smoking in my face which was pretty exciting. It wasn’t enough to let me get away though and we had a hell of a battle all the way to the line. The last few laps were absolutely crazy, I had to keep going defensive again and again which of course hurt my lap times a ton but I *just* managed to make a decent enough exit to each corner to stay ahead. The gap at the end was 0.19 seconds.
Race 2 was quiet after finally making it through the pack as Josh had several seconds on me by the time I got to 2nd, I wasn’t able to close the gap without driving like a maniac and if I did (and could without crashing, lol) the tyres would’ve been toast. Still a good result though. At the start of the race I tried to drive around the outside of a few cars, went past 2 with 2 wheels on the grass then kept going with less and less room until I backed out so I wouldn’t gain an advantage going off track. Shouldve backed out waaay earlier so yeah sorry about that, lucky it didn’t cause any incidents. Pretty stupid really, lol
Just wanted to remind some of the new drivers of a couple of things. Not naming anyone cause I’m not sure who’s who and if anyone wasn’t part of this community. Firstly, before qualifying please make a mental note of who the fast drivers are. Compare your lap times to those of the fastest so you have an idea of speed differences. When qualifying starts everyone pours out onto the track and space is very limited to start with. The first guys out should be putting the foot down to give the guys behind room. The guys behind will be purposely going slow so that they have a gap in front to drive into. Now, if you’re off the pace compared to the top times, or you know you are going to go off somewhere if you push, and you see someone in front on the out lap and they are driving very slow, the worst possible thing you can do is to pass the fast car and put yourself into the gap that they have just made, only to hold them up during the hot lap. You are much better off sticking behind them and possibly benefiting by following their racing line and using the slip stream. Also, once your hot lap is over you must get out of the way of other cars. If you can’t do this reliably then hit esc once your timed lap is over and you will be instantly out of everyone’s way.
The other thing is I tend to pass a lot of the slower cars on the outside, now I know a lot of people don’t have the luxury of having huge monitors or VR so visibility is limited. While I can just look across and see if anyone is next to me, many can’t (and honestly the look left/right thing sucks, I never used it). If you can’t, you should install CrewChief which has an excellent spotter who will tell you whenever a car is next to you. In fact if you don’t have it get it regardless, it’s awesome.
Thanks all for the great racing and well done if you actually read that, lol.

Unfortunately cannot make this week's round - going to the AFL game. Afraid someone else will have to take up the rear of the field! Good Luck!
