iRacing - I went and joined!
Thanks to a kind soul on the RSC forums, I got an invitation and did my
first driving tonight. It's quite late so only managed a few practice laps around Lime Rock in the default Solstace with no setting up. So far I'm having a blast. I was expecting the solstace to have GPL ice rink like handling, instead it handles like some of the slower cars in GTR2. I think the combination of this car and Lime Rock will make for some good racing, although I found places to overtake quite hard to come by. Like Andrew, I'm not a fast driver and expect to be at the back, although in practice I was significantly faster than at least one other person. Managed to post a time of 1.11.986, which I guessing isn't competitive because I'm not really pushing the car to the edges yet. Need to browse around a little and see what kind of times I need to be shooting for. The drivers I drove with were very courteous and there were no driver-driver incidents. I can see me getting seriously addicted to this game. Just got to brush up on my technique! RobP |

Welcome Rob, it's a great place and even if there were incidents it
isn't a problem unless they are obviously intentional.. See you out there!
