Was probably best for me so far at iRacing, racing wise that is:)

Couldn't do much more to just following in this tight track but was surely intense and fun. Checked the lap charts and two laps the gap was 1.5 secs and other than that inside 0.8 all the way through 38 laps.

I cant wait til we have replays:P Was I losing time in the chicane complex? I was running less wing than usual around 20-23

Yeah replays would be so nice. I'd think you lost some time there every lap, I was running lots of wing.

Funny I actually thought you were running less wing because of the straight speeds:)

Mazda is really killing me now:S Everything I gain in the Skippy is lost in Mazda races hehe

If I dont mess up myself all kinds of other weird things happen. Latest Road A race was probably the best so far, after race start for whatever reason downshifting didnt work anymore.

Is there gearbox damage? Or does anyone have this happened?

I wouldn't call it a race:D

But exciting, he crashed in early laps out of T1. Then about 5-6 to go he was already back in second place and the gap was about 4-5 secs.

Of course he caught me and got by, just maybe could have held the lead if I didnt mess up Carousel so much, now we were side by side braking into T12. I usually drive that one with 3rd gear and did so now also even if the speed was slower. Didnt quite have the acceleration with 3rd gear and had to give up going into next turn.

But was nice to see if the gap is enough or not:) It was obvious he was about 0.8 to 1 sec faster.
