1:30 remaining. The car ahead of us has had a shit race. They started 14th and are currently 14th. We started 51st and are currently 15th.

For some reason they have pitted early a number of times and only sit 10 seconds ahead of us.

15th place in the end. Second split. Glorious result!

I gained +9 iRating

Congrats, Mick. Nicely done.

Thank you Cam! I see the GBR guys had a good time too. These things are always great fun.

Professor Divebomb thinking he owns the track on lap 6. He took out three cars and sent me to the pits. My repair time was longer than what was remaining in the race

There might be some shared blame on that one. Lap 6 and you're blocking faster cars trying to overtake? Maybe it's the real-world mindset taking over for me, but he was faster the whole clip and the prudent thing to do would've been to give him space. You would have lost a position but you would have made it farther into the race and probably could've been faster by following him to the next pack of cars.

Not trying to be harsh, just adding a different perspective.

I'd be on RWA's side here, the yellow car was a full car length behind him on corner entry. I would definitely not call taking the racing line there blocking, or even defending the corner.

This is for me the most frustrating thing in iracing, when you aren't even defending a corner and the guy behind you just drives into the back of you. Like if you are going to dive bomb at least move to the inside before the corner to indicate you are going to do it.

I just watched RWA get passed in a Dave Cam vid.



Aaaand I just heard the response to the video above! Thought they might be the same race.

And featured for a bit during the incident replay review at the end.
