This week’s race at Lime Rock Park wasn’t really destined to set the world on fire. Whenever I tested this combination I had a very hard time putting together any laps which were clean and/or fast. Having done fairly well at this track in the Skip Barber Series I found this very disappointing.

I was ranked 13th in a field of 15 and would be starting 9th having set a qualifying time before the race of 56.835 – well off the pace.

I got a very good start and managed to get to 6th by the end of the first lap. This was mainly due to errors by others, but I’d take it! By lap 5 I was in 5th and ran well until lap 10. I spun the car into the wall under the bridge and had pretty serious damage on the right front. I continued driving as obviously most turns at Lime Rock Park don’t put a lot of weight on that wheel… I slowly drifted back and settled into 7th by the end of the 11th lap. I stayed there until the end.


Edited highlights of race.

    [..YouTube..] This was a fun combination. I usually avoid LRP like the plague but I did four races that week (a lot for me)

About the Car
Chevrolet Monte-Carlo SS


Fantastic fun to drive. I love this car. I've said a few times it is my favorite oval car in the iRacing service and it really has yet to be beaten. You can drive with a variety of styles and still keep it on-track. You can brake deep into the turns and get on the gas very early. If you have quick hands you can catch just about any potential spin and that really makes it fun.

Fanatec Wheels, Pedals & Accessories

While many may think the Logitech G25 or G27 to be the best wheel and value for money of anything on the market, I beg to differ. I used wheels from many manufacturers during my time at iRacing - including wheels which sell for four-figures - and although some may feel of sturdier construction, that same construction usually led to long-term problems with the equipment that for me made the price inappropriate. Fanatec are recommended by me for a reason, I use their stuff and I trust their stuff. The Clubsport aluminum pedals (pictured above) and the best pedals I have ever used. 09/2008 911 Turbo Wheel Review | Visit Fanatec.de.

Without a doubt the best value for money cockpit you will find. Where other manufacturers may charge four figures for a simple cockpit, Obutto deliver a tidy and solid frame for a fraction of that. The obutto oZone cockpit can be configured in many different ways and extra items such as the Triple Monitor mount, Acrylic Tabletop, and the Flight Stick mount can be purchased seperately. 01/2009 Cockpit Review | Visit obutto.com.
