I was a bit dubious whether Silverstone GP would be decent for racing the Skip but I think it turned out OK.
I'd had virtually no practice for this one, I didn't have anything to go for in the standings and the week had practice time been taken up trying to haul the Dallara around
hell Mosport.
Thanks to Darrens set-up I got a vaguely decent time in qualifying and gained a few places at the start but that left a few slightly faster guys behind me and I knew I would struggle to keep them at bay.
On lap 2 Ian got a bit close and rear-ended me spinning me around putting me to the back, no problem Ian, just a misjudgement, I don't think my final position was really affected.
Got places back as peopel span. MJ ruined my chance of a sweet overtaking opportunity by spinning out of T1
Spanner kept me honest for a while but also unfortunately span.
Not sure if I'll race the Skip next season, after all this time in iRacing I still can't extract any kind of decent performance out of the codding thing. Finishing down the field wouldn't normally bother me but I'm getting uncharacteristically frustrated with the car and not really enjoying it.
Thanks to everyone who took part this season, I think it's been a good season, even with the track limitations in place, next season will be better.
The season was ... educating, thanks Pops.
Still, iR lacks several things in the way of quality racing. The cars are too fragile for my taste and until repairs in pitstops are done it will never be a real sim. Even in one seater real races contacts don't always damage the car as much here.
Fast tow is not really an option for me and I'll probably not use it at all as it just makes me unhappy and mad to sit in the pit like a sad geezer.
Until these and other things are fixed GTR2 will still be my number 1 and iR a supplementing fun Tuesday racing game. Sorry Pops.
Looking forward to season 2.
I understand where you are coming from TT. I hope you stick with iRacing because it's going to continue to improve and all that stuff you want will be there eventually. In the meantime, I hope it offers that single seater racing (at a minimum) that you can't get anywhere else
