i lost a lot of fuel at start trying to slow bottom lane on side draft to make a cap for me decided to pit 1 lap fuel to go cause not enougth cars on track then nice brake off from pack and decided to drop from 2nd place to back and save more fuel

did not find anyone to work and tryed some tricks to get teammates to get separated on front just when it was bossible yellow came out then i just did nothing and was 3rd in line cause no teammates to work finished with clean car boring fuel save race. really weird how different people run ss races in this series i did not see anyone use 3rd lane and going alone there is stupid

Tested the 3rd lane at the back of the pack early on with Jake and it worked so we settled in for the fuel run. We had a huge run with a couple of others round 3 and 4 coming to 1 to go then the big one happened. Why show your hand until it matters?

That was fun eventually. Had a huge run on the outside with Marvin Baas heading to the front until we were not

Onwards to the B Car.

They must be cheesing their registrations until the last minute

Super stutter vision tonight and game crashes when I hit a menu item. Well done iRacing update.

What date do the two Wednesday series start again after the summer break please so I can plan some holidays.

Is it the start of August like last year?

Cheers Guys

Sorry Jan. Sent you a PM. Basically the car was loose all race until it wasnt on that lap.

Add me to the got screwed out of a wave under caution club. I doubt it made much difference to my finishing position though.

I like Dover, I forgot it was Wednesday  

I need to get a job just so I know which day of the week it is

das ganze rennen war eigl sehr gut und die pace war im longrun richtig super.

bin extrem entäuscht.

NP Gabi . Had a good laugh with Jake watching it back.

Undercut guarantees yellow

Oh... So fuel burning is a thing, I always figured waiting until the last minute to top the quali timesheets was nothing more than cool kid etiquette.

Duly noted

Burn fuel not cigarettes

Got a black flag from someone that got a pit penalty for pitting second time around under closed pits then decided to drive slowly after leaving the pits so they could serve it as the race went green. Not very happy as it cost me 3 laps between waiting for them to pass on 1 lap to green then having to serve the penalty.

Qualy DQ'd for speeding in pit lane and not noticing it because iRacing screwed up my UI somehow.

Got nailed in the wreck at the end of the first run trying to be patient as the tyres came in. Race effectively over. Jake got damaged enough to kill his speed on the restart wreck a few laps later. Points are points so we chatted shit on Discord whilst the laps ticked down.

Loved being able to run high and low to keep the car balanced. Was running well saving tyres behind a big bubble of about 8 cars first long run. Decided to short stop to pass them in the pits then realised it's been that long since I raced here I couldn't remember if you had to pit off the back stretch or not.

Once I saw other cars come in I tried to follow suit but came in too hot and had to do an extra lap loosing a fair bit of time. Still really enjoying being back in VO after the break from iRacing.

Came for wheatfields, found desert, cacti and a line backer to guide me through last lap chaos.

Was having fun until I set off the trend of putting the front of the car into turn 1 wall.

Quote from Misan

Reifen sparen = gute Idee

Keine Reifen beim Caution Stopp nehmen weil sicherlich noch ein paar Cautions kommen = schlechte Idee

I'm with you on that. I made it worse by messing up both stops so I was at the back on the first restart and completely forgot where my box was on the second stop. It's all good, even had some fun with Daniel near the end.

Full length races with only extra enough tyres to get to the end on green full fuel runs would be my vote. I'd love it but there'd be about 5 people turning up each week.

The current balance is spot on RE strategy requirement v participation IMO

I don't watch NASCAR live anymore since they brought in Stages. The way NASCAR are going they'll have 3 standalone sprint races each night with fully reversed grids just to make it exciting for the average 'Murican.

Sorry I couldn't help more Yves. The engine was slightly down on power after 8mins on pit lane. I was just hoping there would be more crashes and cars dropping out before the end. Once we were in a 4 there was enough to stay on the back bumper of the 3rd car just not enough to run as a pair unfortunately.

I have seen the incident that I forgot. I fully own the mistake.

I will enjoy my 2 race vacation from C Class.

Sorry again to all involved.

Question: is it possible to race other series in the meantime if I am not registered for them?

Love the honesty and attitude towards the league.

Ban is only for the C Class. Attempting to register for the other series in the same way you did for C Class will give you the answer RE registering.
