Flat 6 League - Round 1 - Road America - Reports
#1
I'll start with mine.

First of all sorry for some of the inconvenience, new rules, new stuff.... we forgot to set the formation lap and we reversed grid for race 2 which shouldn't have happened. We've been so much used to doing the same procedure for many years and it has taken us a bit to get used to the changes.

Qualy
-------
Being second was a great result as I was quite doubtfull about my chances in the Porsche. Still some setup work pending regarding tire pressures and toes which I hope to test for the next race.

Race 1
--------
Did a very good start and got first after turn 1. Sadly I ruined my race by the final turn of that lap. I braked too late and put my car into a big sideways slide. The car behind couldn't not avoid me and we touched. I ended up spinning in the grass and having to return to the track after a big pack of cars.
Lap after lap I was able to gain places, finally ending in 4th place.

Race 2
--------
Left lane got a bit busy at race start and so I lost a couple of places there. Two laps later I went for some race action but being side to side battling other car at the main straight I lost my braking reference and went too late into the corner going through the gravel and hitting the wall sideways. That damaged my suspensions and lost my front spoiler and boot in there.
After that I realised how important that spoiler is. Car was so understeery at corners in 4th gear or faster, it made for a very uncomfortable drive, finally ending in 11th place.

I need to get the rust after a month away from simracing, way too many mistakes.

Could not match anyone's speed here just made laps and ended race 1 in 12 ho hum.
Race two had some people got wild in front of me and I was up to eighth and again just making laps got spun out late in race (difference of opinion there) but whatever ended in 13 could have been worse.
My tires went away faster in race two I think anyone else see that and rears went faster than fronts
Good turn out but we missed some of our old friends: Nikos, Paul, Harri, Eddy, Rik, Kiko, Jerry all were missed.

A lot of IRL things for me lately, hope I will be in more often soon.

Hi Tim, I was too tired to manage race 2 this week, with luck I'll be driving the 2nd race of each type from next week on. I can't make practice, quali or the 1st race due to having a young dog who needs lots of walks.

The car has some different levels of FFB in case it helps.
