Moderator's Report

After a discussion by the moderators, Robert Burton (Burtoner) has been suspended from the Endurance Championship - active immediately and until the end of the season.


Server replay time: 3900s

Road Atlanta isn't the easier place to pass, and as such drivers being lapped need to cooperate more than usual. Ginsters didn't really have an easy way past without Burtoners assistance, which wasn't forthcoming.

Well, I actually had two races to do tonight. I was visiting relatives today and stayed for dinner, so I left with what I thought was plenty of time to make it to tonights event. Unfortunately the traffic had decided otherwise as some guys had crashed onto each other creating quite the traffic jam. When it was finally over I think I broke a couple of speed limits getting home and with just a few minutes to go fired up the computer. When I finally started up the iRacing site my computer clock was already showing 21:00 so it was gonna be close... After the game was done loading I entered the server, and within a second the "drive" button greyed out and qualifying was over. Couldn't have been any closer!! Grin

Without any qualifying I had to start at the back of the field obviously and had lots of great fights working my way up the field. Thanks everyone for that and the Corvettes for being patient, there were some hairy moments of course but nothing serious. Special mention to Robin Durrant when we nearly took each other out when getting out of pit road, gave us both a good scare Wink But it was soon forgotten as we had a couple laps of awesome side by side racing. Thanks mate! Great fun.

With just about 5 minutes to go I was running fourth, about 15 seconds behind Mark Fletcher who suddenly completely lost his pace, not sure what happened there but he seemed to have some damage to the front of his car... All in all I very much enjoyed this race and all things considered I'm very happy with third place!

You should have tried with the Dallara as LMP and the Corvette as GT1, only a 8-9 seconds differential Cheesy

Well I have to say, I think I enjoyed that more than any other race I've been in.

I hadn't practiced on here at all and just stuck with the setup I had for Laguna (I missed Daytona), it felt pretty stable and I know the circuit but only in a Formula Mazda.

Qualified alright but it's never my strong point. Had a good start and kept out of trouble. Couldn't quite get hold of the leading group but just kept going. Had various battles, one with Peter and as mentioned above one with Jasper. I entered turn 1 with a Corvette fast approaching I was too busy concentrating on that, I didn't see Jasper leaving the pitlane. Just soo glad I didn't take you out, I'd have felt awful.

Had a really good dice with him all the way round for a good few laps, I have to say, that was one hell of an overtake Jasp Smiley

Got caught by Dave after my late pitstop (1 set of tyres all race), not sure fuelling to capacity first off is best though.

Can't wait for Silverstone, gutted to be using the Historic version though. Vale is immense!

So sorry Martin, just watched the replay and that was shocking - I wasn't where i thought I was on the road at all, spin disoriented me totally but it's not an excuse. Just really, really carp awareness on my part.

Well, that turned out OK Grin

I never really look forward to this track, and I was making hard work of it fiddling with the setup.  In the end I went back to the fixed setup and stiffened the rear ARB a click.  Then just went out and drove, setting my most consistent run of my entire practice!

With no low fuel running to speak of, I got out very early in qually, knowing I had to make the early laps count.  I got a rather unimpressive 1:18, then hit traffic on every single lap the next 5 times round, then finally a clean lap and 1:17.4.  I knew that would be nowhere near enough and on the last lap of the session I got another clean lap and 1:16.7 ! A new PB with the car spluttering over the line.  Pole position!  I had not expected that, it's a wierd feeling to be on pole knowing that you aren't the fastest  Shocked

Nice clean start and amazingly I was pulling away a bit.  I wasn't going to get too carried away with that as catching a Mustang in the wrong place would wipe out 3 seconds at a time.  Despite this it took until half distance before Steven closed to within a second before making his stop.  I stuck it out a couple more laps and emerged still ahead!  I even ended up with a bit of a gap again as the traffic took it's effect on the gap.  Sadly, as we went into the last quarter of the race, I braked too deep into the chicane and had a slow, graceful spin into the grass.  Steven was now in the lead, but I stayed with him for quite a while before a second spin finally put paid to my chances of a win.  The tyres felt like mush now, so I just brought it home for 2nd.

That was a very tough race, congrats to Steven  and Karsten and the Mustang podium. Smiley

Excelent racing again guys  Smiley

After a very good qualifying session, it was shocking to se Jonathan got netcoded out at start of race  Shocked
When Dario just left me, I tried to get into a steady rythm and managed to hold 2nd position until Mark came up and passed me.
I tug on to his tail and managed to keep a decent distanse before pitstops, after my pitstop I joint in 2 seconds behind Mark again.
On cold tires and more fuel I dropped down 6-8 seconds before upping my pace and shortening the gap again. After coming out of the S'es I saw Mark had done a spin/got spun and I got a 5-6 seconds gap to him I managed to hold until end of race.

Looking forward to Silverstone  Cheesy

Not looking forward to Silverstone as I don't much like the place. The only car I particularly like around Silverstone is an F1 car Shocked, although it should be one of the better tracks for multi-class racing given it's width over most of the club circuits iRacing have.

Still waiting for the Ford GT - who knows whether we'll get that before Oulton Park. Roll Eyes

Can't say the Ford GT enthuses me really. It's similar to the Corvette in it's weight and handling characteristics isn't it?

I was a bit annoyed with my self last night, my qualy was terrible, I just managed to get a decent lap in just before it ended placing me 2nd on the grid.
Just before the light went green I knew Dario was along side me and quite close, I though he was clear so slowly went to move over to fall in behind him.
Then all of a sudden it felt like I drove into a bus, the car went completely sideways, down the hill towards and into pit wall.
I did make contact with his car but it was a 0x, and strangely felt like an 8x  Huh.

It was at this point the Benny Hill theme started playing, I took my fast tow, 21 seconds later I'm ready to go, ready to race.... I was a little to eager as I got pulled for speeding, so took another 'fast' tow. This one was just over 2 mins. It was at the point I decided I would just watch the race, and be Mr Fletchers spotter.

I have to admit I'm embarrassed with that performance, and thank full the only race I ruined was my own.

Grats to Ste and Dario on there wins, and grats to Jasper and Fletch coming from the back, it was a great race to watch.

Thanks for hosting guys.

Weight will be similar but it should be quite a different beast as its mid-engined and not as powerful.

So is that GT2 and not GT1 then? Sorry, used to what we had in GTR2, which was GT1.

Bit of a disaster.  I had the pace in praccy, and I was able to get a decent lap in qually but the race was just awful.  I had no pace whatsoever.  I must suffer from race nerves, cus the car felt verry different at the start of the race.  I span on lap 11 which put me back to 9th from 2nd and then I suffered a hit from another vette which put me into the tyre wall, I think either my car or his must have jumped a bit cause my replay shows me being hit by fresh air! no contact at all.  Huh

Came back out well and truly last in class then could not avoid another driver when they spun, I just locked up.

Fitting end to a terrible race.

Well done to all stang drivers, very dicey out there and hard work making passes.

Grats to podiums for each class

See ya at the next one.

PS:  Simon, there is a car thats alot closer to the Vette in speed.  Ford V8 (best car in iRacing  laugh)

Race of the season so far for me, I really had to work for that one. I wasn't particularly looking forward to it either as I really struggle to find any sort of consistency here. Qualifying was an absolute nightmare! I got off-tracks on my first two laps, just trying too hard, then, on what turned out to be my fastest lap, I had a huge tank-slapper in turn one. After some more laps caught up in traffic, and a spin, I eventually put the car over the wall in turn five! I decided to cut my losses and call it quits then Smiley

I can't remember everything that went on in the first 10 laps, there was so much happening. I had a huge lock-up into turn one on lap 2, when I under-estimated Karsten's braking point, and I was then fighting understeer on left-handers for the rest of the first stint. I managed to slipstream past Karsten into the chicane a few laps later and also passed Gazza almost immediately after. He'd got held up by a Mustang and I hadn't realised by just how much. I came steaming up and decided to thread the needle which, in hindsight, was a bit risky so early in the race. Fortunately, he realised what was going on and left me room, otherwise I could have caused a bit of carnage there. I ended up in second place and set about the 10 second gap to Mike. I got it down to a couple of seconds before my stop, although I think for the most part I was getting a bit luckier in traffic rather than using sheer outright speed to do it.

I cut the fuel mileage a bit fine at my stop and just spluttered to a halt in my pitstall. My first two laps out of the pits I then got quite badly held up in traffic, which negated any advantage from my early stop. Mike rejoined from the pits, at the same gap as from before the stops, and I promptly went straight on at turn 3 and lost even more time! I knew I had to go for broke now and drove as hard as I dared without throwing it in the wall. Just as I was closing up to Mike he unfortunately spun, gifting me the lead. It was a shame as I was looking forward to a nice battle. It wasn't quite over though as I got held up in traffic again and had another straight-on moment at turn 3, so Mike caught right the way back up to me. After a few close laps I started to eke the gap back out again, which was helped by Mike having another spin. I quickly dropped into 'bring it home' mode then for the last few laps. A cracking race and exactly why I love endurance races Grin

Congrats to Mike and Karsten on the other podium spots, and to Dario and all the other Mustang drivers. It couldn't have been an easy race for them and they all did a great job - it felt like I was in traffic on every single lap! So, off to tyre-shredding Silverstone next...at least that one should be easier for lapping Smiley
