Finally ran a 1:51.411 on laguna with that shitbox miata!
I think I finally got some good steering wheel settings now. You have to really mess with it. Whats annoying is how long it takes for the tires and brakes to warm up...those first few laps suck ass. i find it annoying that I can never correct myself. if the car starts to go out...it is never coming it back and if it does come back it whips back so fast that you are double fucked.
The wheel and pedals feels great though.

Got around to running a Street Stock at Charlotte. Started P12 and finished P5. Got a bad start b/c the tard in front of me wouldn't go when the safety car pulled in. However, I was able to easily avoid a couple wrecks and made my way up the field. Scraped the wall a couple times while going high to avoid spun out cars, but apparently it didn't count against me as it says 0 incidents. Took my oval SR from 2.49 to 2.63.
I definitely suggest running some of these at Charlotte just to bump your oval SR easily. The other track is tough.

When I heard the brakes squealing for the first time I thought something was wrong or Sara was crying.

WON MY VERY FIRST IRACING RACE!!!
EDIT: This is Street Stock at Charlotte, btw.
Started P16 out of 17, and after the worst rolling start I have ever seen in my life, I was P3 by the turn 1 lol. I held it there for 3/4 of the race running 36s the whole time. Something happened up front as within 2 laps of each other, both P1 and P2 pitted. I took over with like 5 laps remaining and took the checkered flag! I was so nervous lol. It didn't help that I kept having to pass lapped cars and I was afraid one was going to take me out.
Video of said terrible start will come shortly.

With the Street Stock the bottom line is the best in the turns.
I'd say go for it when the series comes back to that track next week. The field gets spread out pretty quick. It's not too tough.

Ran some laps at Barber Motorsports Park for the first time tonight. It was one of the three tracks I purchased and it's this week's track for the Global Challenge. Man, the first few laps here were fucking tough lol. So many blind corners due to elevation change. But now that I know the track layout, it's a pretty fun little course. Gotta be careful and keep the steering and gas inputs smooth b/c the car can get a little light coming up over those hills. I definitely need some more practice time, but I'm looking forward to getting into some races this week.

Welp, I've officially just set an iRacing goal... to be D license 4.0 by July 25.
I came across the Road Warrior series schedule, and they are running the 2.4 Hours of Spa that weekend (to coincide with the real race). I WANT TO RUN THAT SOOOOO BAD. Running that BMW Z4 GT3 at Spa for over 2 hours... oh sweet baby jesus. I'm dying to run a real endurance race in iRacing.
Although I'm not sure how the Road Warrior series works. I don't see it under the "series" tab. Maybe it pops up once you're eligible for it? I dunno. But Spa 2.4 Hours with GT3, Zolder 2.4 Hours with GT3, Bathurst 1000 (100 minutes) with V8 Supercars and Petit Le Mans (100 minutes) are ones left on the schedule this year that interest me very much.

Did a couple of events tonight. Ran a Global Challenge time trial and race at Barber Motorsports Park. Can be a tricky track at parts with blind corners and hills where the car can get a little light. Ran the 30 minute time trial first while waiting for the race. Had 0 incidents so that raised my Safety Rating from D 2.94 to D 3.38. So that was good. Since it was my first race at barber and they had me starting on the 3rd row (with rolling start), I decided to start from the pits and play it safe. Was running fairly decent, passed the Kia's and passed a couple Caddy's. About half way in I went through a fast left/right and touched the grassed and spun it into a wall. Luckily the damage wasn't bad and I think I just popped a tire or something, b/c I didn't need any damage repairs after I went in (was pulling left before I pitted). Came back out in 10th and 2 laps down. Picked up a couple positions before the end and finished 8th in class (11th overall). Only 3 incidents and that bumped my SR to D 3.54.
Soooo it was a good time trial and a pretty meh race, but I'm well on my way of getting to D 4.0 before July 25 so I can run the Spa 2.4 Hours. So that's awesome.

Completed my first oval race since returning to iracing. I decided to jump into the Dallara Indy Car (which IMO is one of the most fun series to run in). Homestead was very good to me... I started 18th and finished 8th in a field of 20 and a strength of field of over 2100 :runaway:
On the road racing side of things I am taking my time (and with the use of telemetry data) learning the MX5 and the road coarses in the circuit. I will more than likely try the Caddy for the first time next week at Summit Point and if I can post some consistent and competitive times I might even have a go at it.
