Hey one of you Urepeens can do the Zanardi move in the corkscrew. It will be fine. They used to run real fire breathing can am cars there....I'm a bit uneasy about the elevation change of Laguna with F3500's...

The cold mic rule could be worth looking into (if I happened to have a working one). The main reason I've had them forced off so far is due to the lag they supposedly create (which would only make sense, seeing as they create data that is transferred through the internet), but if everyone actually follows the rules (and we don't get any 10-year-olds-who-just-found-their-dad's-mic-randomers in the room), it could work out just nicely.
And don't worry about the lag incident race 2 start, it was red flagged due to chaos and (what felt like a long time) later restarted.
Provisional results prior to investigations:

Expect a full race report of both (finalised) races within some 36 hours 👍

Technically, you did start race two. But, that race was then red flagged due to the pileup in turn one, and you weren't there for the restart. It's a bit difficult to judge on that one, but besides, you failed to complete 50% of the race, and as of such wouldn't score points anyway. I can list you as 8th if that gives you a good night sleep, but there are no points in this situation

Me too....I was so pissed at guys bailing at the last minute I jumped in with a set up in a car that had not turned a wheel. I haven't driven one since last year in GT5. TG for Lightning in a Bottle's tuner Gino. Iliterally trusted him out of the box....worked fine! Me..not so much.I totally negated that... Unless 5min of prepping counts

I usually take well to preseason/inaugural events because I can adapt faster than most. That's why I like it when it starts pouring halfway in the race (Matterhorn 90)

@nascarfan1400, I'm quite surprised by your results. Pleasantly surprised.

Remember everyone, if you think there's anything I should look into, please send me a message, or I may overlook it when making the report 👍

Race 2, Lap 1, Turn 1. Adam turned way too much to the right and pushed me off track causing front right, rear left, and engine damage to my car forcing me to pit at the end of Lap 1. I immediately asked if that should be a Caution, to which I received no reply.
One thing to add might be what exactly constitutes as corner cutting.
Adam left immediately after that and I was pushed off track. Everyone else was fine. Your taking it three-wide did not cause that wreck whatsoever.
I'm glad you realize that sometimes you do have to wait behind some cars as they sort things out. There is nothing wrong with taking it three-wide, it just needs to be done without causing much interference for other drivers. Often times when two cars are side-by-side the car behind them might have a better run, it's best to wait for the battling cars to sort the position out. I was just surprised that you did that in turn 1 of lap 1.
Yes, it's a learning experience. Something I would highly recommend for any fledgling series, would be a mandatory group practice session before the season starts. (and maybe not just one.)
I like the idea of having mics on with the cold mic rule in effect. One thing that could be done to prevent those 10-year-olds from speaking would be to simply limit the room to Friend's Only.
I actually quit out of this race on Lap 2. (Maybe 3.) Adam quit after the incident in turn 1 on lap 1. Either Adam and I are both DNF's in this case or neither of us are. Honestly, I thought that I would be marked as a DNF here.

Just want to point out, on my screen we had the world's lightest contact. How on earth did you get that much damage?!?
I just braked early, didn't see any cars, turned in and met the side of your car for what, on my end, was a brush. Sorry if it had a worse effect on you though. As you say, I left after because I had a feeling my driving was going to be way too sloppy anyway.

I just wanna say thanks to all who show up in races.
I think this car with these specs is fun to run. Thanks who ever did the specs
See you all (and maybe also my teammate) next race.

Come on teammate or should I say - please
Nice to see this all worked out ok for you in the end rally 👍
Wish I had attended now, will probably show up to future races if I have the time

Yeah, thanks for that!
At that moment, my chances were destroyed! But I forgive you as it was lag...

This has nothing to do with nationality.
nascarfan is kinda a prodigy in the making. Driverman (a.k.a. Ciro) and Morten are the same, but they are European (and further along the process). And, I'm no slouch, and I'm Canadian... Though you haven't had the pleasure of racing with me. Yet. And I'm still learning, too. Racing with us will undoubtedly make you faster. SNAIL and WRS, too.Don't associate nationality with speed. Two of the fastest drivers I've raced are actually from Africa; @Mamaghi from Morocco and @NizmoDr3 from Johannesburg.

I wasn't that was a joke. I'm steady and rarely fall off.. The parabolica nonwithstanding...and slowly getting faster. Definitely a new boy.This has nothing to do with nationality.

But I am not amused with guys bailing on a new series at the last moment regardless of reason. It is NOT done. Drive the race THEN leave if you must. I joined to make up the numbers but enjoyed it and will return..hopefully with reinforcements who like myself need all the seat time we can scrounge up.

I look like the clown in that report. I feel bad about myself. 
That overtake under caution was due to the massive SC confusion that was present. I didn't know what I was supposed to do, just like everyone else.
The photo in the report is really nice though! 👍
