Woop Woop My first podium. Taking it steady all the way some people fell off and I got passed past. then 4th most of the race until the hill before the corkscrew 3rd spun on the last lap so I got passed past :-)
English is such a funny language - "passed" versus "past". I wouldn't normally bother being a spelling/grammar Nazi but in this case the mistake completely reverses the meaning.  |

Woohoo. Just had a race with the Mazda's. Started from the pits (intentionally) then worked my way up, finally got 3rd. 0 incident points :-) My first ever clean race on here. Went from 2.76 to 3.45 rookie rating  |

I think that's how fast track works, assuming it applies to Rookies too - the next round of 'normal' promotions is either at the end of Monday or a week later as we're in week 12 now. |

According to the iRacing calendar the Rookie promotions are on 30th so I got plenty of time.

If you can get up to say 4.01 by the end of Monday, you'll get "instant" (after an hour or two) promotion & then get promoted post-midnight for being a D3.01.. meaning that effectively, for having 3 clean races, you'll go from being a R2.50 to a C2.01  |
