The mid-season 120 minute race is upon us once again! After a really anticlimatic race for me here at the end of last season I'm really looking forward to a good fight here. I'm aware that the Grand Am Premier race is happening on the 22nd as well though ... but seriously ... would you rather race round Spa for 120 mins or Lime Rock Park for 90 mins? It's a no brainer for me I'm afraid!
Race three was competeting with the Grand Am Premier race at VIR Full, there was a tonne of motorsport on the TV, and apparently some nancy boys kicking an inflated pigs bladder round a field was a much watch event for some too. Miami Homestead is a roval, so less often used, and likely less widely owned .... it all conspired again a packed field, but you guys missed the chance of a really good race.
David Ward has taken a commanding lead in the DP standings, whilst Legends Racing extends it's lead in the team title. In the Mustang field, Shark being absent allowed Jasper Groeneweg to take the lead with another solid race, but the Sharks still lead the team champ, but the Legends and Prodigy Racing have both narrowed the gap.
The second half of the season sees visits to Brands Hatch, Infineon Raceway with the flatout Watkins Glen and Silverstone to round the season off - there should be some cracking racing on offer, and a fitting close to the DP/Mustang chapter, before we kick off season seven in the LMP2 and GT2 (all being well!).
I hope to see a packed field here this race - see you all there.

To finish first, first you must have fins.

We've got a few new signups for the champ - if we can get a good turnout to the Saturday practice server it would be good to give them a welcome. It's set to run for 4 hours, 1800-2200 UK time (GMT+1).

Cool - glad you should be able to make it. All being well we'll have a bumper grid, Spa does seem to bring people in .

I have no idea how I got things mixed up? I completly missed last weekends race, I was sure it was this weekend. So while checking the status just now, I learned that I was one week late. Sorry about that I will attend the coming weekends race on Spa though.. in the Mustang.

Don't worry ... so did everyone else The Stang's a lot of fun at Spa, easy to pick up a load of 1x though.

Guys. I just started iRaping a couple weeks ago. I figured it was time I gave them my money.
I hold a class D license with an SR of 3.38. Is it possible for me to join driving the Mustang or do I need to attain a minimum license?

Great! Forgive me for possibly asking a stupid question, but I saw the word "sign-up" somewhere in this thread. Where and how do I sign-up if needed?
I have another question regarding pit stops. I've never done one in IR. Is there a way to practice a pit stop? How to request/deny tire change and fuel amount?
