Jesus :boggle:

Have you tried the new Porsche yet?

[Cam]

No. I do not plan on purchasing it in the foreseeable future. I purchased Red Bull Ring, however.

Did a race in the Formula Vee. It is fun, when you are not spinning. Off-throttle oversteer is worse than the SRF.

Smooth inputs then!

I’ll buy the Porsche and RBR this weekend. Still can’t race but that doesn’t stop me doing practice sessions and AI racing!

Bought the Porsche, gave it a try at the Nurb. VLN layout.

8:14-ish using the supplied medium downforce sprint setup.

I feel that the car is extremely reliant on its very short supply of nose grip, but also if you get it crossed up it's impossible to catch.

Good!

Shame about the V, I had hoped that would be fun to drive.

Considering it is supposed to be an entry-level open-wheeler, it's going to turn off a lot of new drivers. I believe it is going to have the opposite effect of what I think iRacing wants, which is more drivers in open-wheel racing. Instead, it will drive even more drivers to the GT cars.

I was looking through the season two stats. There is one driver that did 15 full series! That is dedication. I do a lot of racing, but I only did six full series. I narrowly missed out on two more, because I gave up on racing GTE in the latter half of the season.

The quality of driving this week is in the toilet.

Haven't been able to do much iracing for a few weeks, but took off work early today and was able to get in some races in the Formula Vee, 2x each at Lime Rock and some weird Charlotte config I have not seen before.

Ended up with a win and two thirds, I think mostly down to the low quality of driving you noted Cam. Usually there's several guys that I would have no hope of keeping up with, but I'm gaining a lot of positions from crashes.

I've found the Formula Vee fairly fun to drive, except that the gearing is kind of terrible. The gap between 2nd and 3rd is huge, you end up with the engine really lugged down in 3rd through a lot of corners.

Surprising rejoin!

Looks like a typical iRace to me.
