8/4/2010. Listed in the Races category. Leave a reply.

A pretty disappointing end to what looked like being a race I was very competitive. It’s always frustrating to be taken out in someone else’s wreck that you can’t avoid but I suppose that’s racing. At least I’m not one of those hoping to win a championship having joined part-way through the season. Continue reading

 

After reading about 16th Street on IndyCar’s blogs and seeing long time associate Ryan Murray (who I have known for probably more than ten years now) win the championship last season, I decided to join the league when the opportunity came along and my first event was Tuesday night at Chicagoland.

I felt very, very confident heading into this event. I had done very little testing but felt comfortable with the iRacing Advanced setup almost immediately. I knew I could keep the car on the track and also knew that if I needed to push I could put out some decent lap times. Continue reading

 

I managed to get some testing in before this event and felt pretty confident in my consistency before the race. It turned out my confidence was not misplaced as I had a really fun time in the Historic British Grand Prix at Silverstone using the Lotus 79 1978 Formula One machine. Continue reading

I knew this was going to be a race of attrition and figured it best to stay within my limits as much as possible, but after damaging my car early I sure made my life difficult! Continue reading

This race ranks pretty high on the best races I have ever driven. It was also one of the most fun. I ran a qualifying session prior to the race, setting a 1:22.786 which allowed me to start in seventh-place … Continue reading

 

I was annoyed before this race started. In warm-up another driver had stopped exactly on the racing line as soon as the session ended and I had no time to react so had myself a beautiful car contact penalty for … Continue reading

 

It’s been one year, six months and about a week since I last ran the Silver Crown in a race session in iRacing. That was back on November 7, 2008. I never fell out of love with this car since … Continue reading
