This weeks 24 Heures du Fun was a combination of the late model at Virginia International Raceway - full layout.
It proved to be a fantastic mixup, and once a decent road going setup was found the late model comes to life on road courses. VIR is a great track in any car, but the late model just felt so awesome here - it definitely is a car that needs more road racing matchups in future 24HdF events.
I uploaded a small video of the start of the first race of the day :
Laguna Seca is one of my favourite (if not THE favourite) track in iRacing and I can just about race any car there and enjoy it. What better venue for me to try a race in iRacings newest car, the Spec Racer Ford?
Ten laps practice and straight into a race saw me start from 5th for the short 11 lap sprint race. I had a great start and moved up to third before a bad mistake at turn 6 and spun, rejoining in 6th.
I was determine to recover some positions and had a really memorable battle back to second place.
A really lively car that’s very rewarding to drive - I’ll be planning on getting some more races in both here at Laguna and next week at Lowe’s road course.
