Well, that was an embarrassing effort. In the first race, I actually could have made a pass for 1st but I tucked behind, opting to do the usual "Steal a Win" strategy. I ended up messing up a corner and completely losing my groove.
Banged a wall on the 2nd race trying to give Maverick room.
I'd be better with more practice but with the odd way the car handles, it's not worth it.
For those in the other races, the fastest laps I saw in qualifying today was around a 2:07.3 or 4.

I swear I've seen him around before but from where, I don't remember.
All I know is that with him in the running, I'll be lucky to get any wins. Now I know how everyone that went against Adam in the Miata series felt.
He's been arround for some time now, I ran 2 seasons on the LMP series with him back when GT5 came out, he's always been alien fast pretty good driver overall and a great addition to any series.

I still maintain that Avenged Sevenfold is an awful band, though

Had a good time last night.
Really needed to get a better spot in the Q session. My plan was to sit on Outlaws tail following Mav.... Hope something happens to them and steel the win.
Sadly I opted to use the DS3 instead of the wheel since I had no practice with either (once last week spent 10-15 mins with the wheel goofing off), bad idea.
A7XMaverick is going to be hard to steal a win from, I'm still shocked he could do a 7.3 with draft.
Now if I can just get out of Grand Valley with minimum points lost.

So, qualifying actually worked fine for the first time in a while but I forgot to set the correct number of laps so we had to re-start. The only issues I saw were that Jav got black-screened effectively ruining his race, and we had people with trouble getting into the room. I'm pretty sure it didn't have anything to do with my connection as nobody was lagging for me and everything was running smoothly. Hopefully there's no issues tomorrow, as we ran a lot longer last night than I had hoped.

If there is room open I may try for the 9PM slot on Thursday.
I really would like another shot at this track.

Procedural question: So you get points you score on the first attempt. Suppose driver X races first on Tuesday. After that there are spaces in Thursday race, driver X shows up and wins a race. He gets no points, that's a given. Question: how many points will a second-placed driver gets? 32 or 28?

Drivers that have already scored points in an earlier race will technically show as "invisible" on the results. So if we have one person race twice, and he places 4th, then he will not show on the results and all drivers behind him get moved up 1 spot. (5th gets points for 4th, 6th for 5th, etc)

Room opens. I get home about 8:45-ish EST on the weekdays, making 8:50 to 9pm EST the earliest that I can get things rolling.

He did a 2'07.0 in clean air near the end of race 1.
The fast guys on tuesday were nailing every corner like it was nothing. đź‘Ť
On ocassion I can fluke a corner and am able to replicate those apex and exit speeds, but the way you guys take that fast chicane at the end of sector 2 is something I cannot comprehend. You guys are going through there maintaining a speed of 106-107 mph. I simply cannot carry that sort of speed without going sideways or hitting the wall on exit. The best I have done was shedding speed down to 103 mph, but even then that was very hairy and wouldnt try that during a race.

I figured some alien could do a 2.7 flat or 2.6 but WOW.
I found if you can get on the grip line you can take it almost flat out in 4th gear, it's all about the entrance.
I could "find" the spot but couldn't do it repeatedly.
Sadly even if I added all my best sectors up I would be looking at a 2:07.6...
I think the fast guys just know how to find grip and hit the same spot each lap.

Current PB of 2'06.822. I'll do a 2'06.5 before practice is over I think.
