For those reading who may not know, iRacing time trials are single car competitions which run on the track being raced each week. You have to do a series of laps without error and it’s your average laptime that goes forward as your final result. Points are then calculated as the week goes along so that the fastest car overall gets 100 points and the slowest gets 1 point, if you are exactly between those two in time you would get 50 points.

I missed weeks four and five due to how busy I was with work. Still, I found myself in contention when I returned and managed to carry that through Week 6, 7, 8 and 9. I managed to get most of this weeks time trials done really early, finishing them off on Saturday night prior to the NASCAR night race at Daytona starting on TV. So these are as things stand at time of posting:

I’m pretty pleased with most of my times this week, especially the late model. I really had a tough time at Darlington and actually wasn’t going to bother but then I figured I might get more points at this track than somewhere else because of how the scoring works in the TT’s… So went for it and just set a basic laptime that is OK for my divisions. All the other TT’s were pretty easy and I just did what I needed to do.

So (as things stand on Saturday) as we end Week 9 I’m in first-place for every division now except the late model. I’m going to struggle to take first there because my main competitor is really, really fast and does many, many time trials every week. What is pretty awesome is that I’ve actually closed in a little bit on a top-three with the Spec Racer and Skip Barber cars. I never would have thought I’d be in a position to take those…

So Week 9 isn’t over yet, I’ll have to see how things shake out… Here they are as they stand at time of posting:
