Wyatt Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Me in a Miata http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/EventResult.do?&subsessionid=22257170&custid=91813 Vs me in a Street Stock http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/EventResult.do?&subsessionid=22258661&custid=91813 Obviously the Street Stock is much faster over the course of the race.

dvot Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 This was one of the most fun races I've personally had in I-Racing. Had very close good racing and not a single bump and I'm pretty sure I spent all 45 minutes within a second of a car for position. Did have to go off twice or nearly come to a stop to avoid spinning cars. The track is definitely the hardest one to pass on I've driven. And we were so close to making the starting line without any contact. I'm proof that someone with zero i-racing (or video game at all) experience can spend $500 and a month and get into the top ten in these league races. I doubt I'll ever find the speed to be "up front" but the 7-10th battles this week were awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartermdb Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 @Hurljohn These past 2 weeks I can never seem to get away from you. The hard clean racing has been fun and I hope it continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bound to happen. You smoked the field at Road Atlanta in the Miata. The Miata has an advantage in the twisty bits while the Street Stock will excel in a straight line. VIR South is definitely more wide open than Road Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that came from the shorter pitstop for the Miata. At VIR both cars take almost the same amount of fuel. Within a gallon or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
