Another boring iRacing movie... or maybe not?

Annoyed at iRacing not allowing Skip Barber racing this week, I got decided to take
my frustrations out on the Solstice, which I -- as you may remember -- hate.

Somewhere along the line I got a bit carried away and started having fun. But don't
tell anyone at iRacing! (That includes you Tim, stop reading ;-)

All done in testing, fortunately. So no SR was scraped off along with all that
paint.

If anyone's interested, I uploaded the 113Mb, best quality version to Rapidshare.

PS. Someone started an 'iRacers for Christ' thread in the forums. And it was
*serious*. I was expecting something funny! What a disappointment.

I feel so out of place on iRacing at times. :-)

I haven't laughed so hard in ages........:-) I feel much the same as you
about that car. Great video Andrew.

Actually the advanced Solstice seems to be more entertaining to drive in the latest
build (maybe it was before and I didn't notice). For instance you can whack it from
neutral to 1st and spin the car around. In the Skip Barber either the tyres have
superglue on them or the 1st gear is still way too long to allow a quick 180 turn
if you get out of shape... or just feel the need to break another engine. :-)

Speaking of which, I thought I was a fairly safe driver in terms of engine damage,
but I broke a Skip Barber engine in my first test lap for next week's racing.
Changing rapidly down the gears into the final hairpin at Infineon left me with a
misfire and hardly any power. That's made me a little nervous now in this new
build... as if I didn't have enough to be nervous about already!

Anyway, glad you enjoyed the movie.
