    Also, an earlier post about licenses. Le Mans series is now called European Series and requires an A license.

Having a high Safety Rating can fast-track your license advancement. To race the C8 Vette, you would need at least a C license for the IMSA Sports Car Championship and The Le Mans Series requires a B license. I am not sure if it is in any other series this season. Although, I heard that the Le Mans Series is going A class next year. I am not sure.

    Edit: The C8 Vette is also being used in the GT Endurance Series this season. Lots of options for the Vette!

    Thanks a heap! That's all the questions I have so far. I am sure more will pop up once I start actually racing.

    I hated the MX5 with a passion.
    When you think you're doing ok, go join a room with Shane Van Gisbergen, Liam Lawson etc, and see how slow you really are.
    Think I came within 5 seconds of them at Silverstone.
    I loved the Solstice in the multiclass series, had a few wins with that.
    Also enjoyed the Kia in with the Cadillac.

    The reason I'm not on there much these days is I feel that way with *every* car. I got all excited when I set my fastest ever lap at Suzuka in the CTS-V during qualifying, then went into the race and found myself a few seconds off the pace of everyone else.

    I really should just tank my irating because it's clearly too high.

    You just don't race often enough.

    Personally, my safety rating is more important to me than iRating. I feel like my iRating would be higher if I didn't keep getting wrecked. If I do not get wrecked, I can normally make up many positions during the race. I rarely qualify well. I do not use qualifying sets, so my race pace is normally my qualifying pace. On the rare occasion, I remove fuel from the car for qualifying.

    That is entirely possible. I find it very hard to find a window of even 30 minutes where I can just concentrate on racing, and that's led me to just not bothering. When I do find it, I find that I'm extremely slow. I have a feeling it'd help if I didn't keep getting dropped in higher splits than I should be in given my skill level, but in the meantime, it's pretty discouraging.

    Just do some reverse boosting. Tank your stats and have fun again.
