Week 9 – Return to Laguna Seca

Had a decent result at Laguna Seca this week, which is good as I really love the track (it’s still listed as my most raced track in iRacing). I don’t seem to be as slow as I am at other tracks and so I am a bit more competitive here than most places. Add to that the fact that I don’t need a heap of laps to acclimatise myself to the circuit each time and generally I have some fun every time this track comes around.
In the end I was able to claim a 3rd place for 123 points which was a good result in retrospect. It was a pretty good race with some consistent lapping, and I was pretty pleased with the way I lapped with other cars on the track. Instead of overdriving when a faster car was behind me I kept my composure and didn’t do anything crazy when they swarmed behind me. It was certainly good to have a safe race following the recent disasters at Summit Point Jefferson!
I had planned to do a few races but unfortunately other commitments meant it was just the single race for me.
I did find time to sample this weeks 24 Heures du Fun which was 27 SK Modifieds at Milwaukee…. it was the first time I had driven this excellent car and the racing was excellent. It was a really good match of car and circuit and I soldiered through to a top five finish. I’ll definitely try to race more in the SK.

Week 8 – A Break From iRacing

Following last weeks bad experiences I gave iRacing a bit of a break this week. Early in the week I did some practicing at Virginia North and completed two races, one good and one bad (lap one crash and a self spin later on). Even the good race didn’t really make up for the last five or so poor races, so I didn’t make the effort to put in any more racing this week.
Some of this apathy is in part related to the fact that I am not really competing in a division this season – I’m far enough down the order to not be challenging for the championship and I don’t really know any of the names that I am actually competing with, so there is no real incentive to race, and no competitive edge to score highly.
I’m hoping next weeks racing at Laguna Seca will bring some renewed enthusiasm as I really like that track, plus I need to get that vital fourth race in the truck series (to qualify for the B licence for 2009) so I’m sure I’ll be back racing next week. Until then, here’s a quick clip of an unfortunate start to a race at VIR North…
