I have hardly had time to race at all this season within the iRacing service. Come to think of it, I haven’t really had much chance to post in my blog or get around to re-designing it like I was going to, either…

Anyway, last night I decided to work a little bit to try to get myself into promotion before the week is out. I entered a couple of time trials, a qualifying session and a race. I felt like I had lost a bit of skill during the time I hadn’t raced, so was delighted throughout the evening to see my times getting faster while my consistency remained intact.

At the end of the evening I entered a race and had a fantastic time. I started 4th and remained there until lap two when the man in 2nd spun, I then followed closely behind the new 2nd-place man until lap nine when he also spun (causing me to go into the grass to avoid him – we were nose to tail at the time and I think the pressure perhaps got to him).

We closed down the laps and I was very happy with 2nd-place, but on lap twelve I noticed myself getting closer and closer to the leader… By the end of the lap I had passed him. I cruised around for the final lap and came home with my fifth road course victory and I believe my first in the Solstice. I asked the man (who eventually finished 3rd) what happened, and he said he started to have engine problems.

My fastest lap was a 1:30.554 and I had 1 incident.
