    I felt a bit rusty during the early laps. I thought dry tires for the early laps could be good, but I was extra-careful and I was driving on longer gears then I should, so no benefit for me. Also during last lap before pitting I spun and crashed my back, so...
    2nd stint was much better, feelin the groove, getting a better pace and gaining some places... until I realized I had miscalculated badly how much fuel I needed for the race (Overestimated it with an extra litre per lap) so I had to recalculate in the fly. Unfortunately Joe Brown spun in front of me this time and I couldn't react fast enough, diving into him... a few extra seconds in my stop
    Last stint was going good, but I the last 15 minutes weren't so much. My tires were new, but I think the dry line overheated them a bit and I didn't react to that well enough and I lost another place to Bateson.

    :rolleyes: Looks like all I've said are bad things, but it was just 4 or 5 moments. Proto drivers were perfectly fine and the racing and battles in the way were fun and fair, I also enjoyed the weather changes and looking forward to more of them.

    Cya guys next time!

    That's a shame. You are a good driver. Hope you will complete the series. Road America will be awesome!

    I tried my best to catch Barrett in the last part of the race, but he was just too fast for me. I pushed and pushed and he was matching me every time so I started to overdrive the car a few times and paid the prize LOL. Congratulations Barrett, you outsmarted all of us today with your strategie and you had great speed.

    Also congratulations to Toni Talvitie in LMP1 and Taner Selvi in LMP2.

    Also congrats for the great work on the broadcast, really enjoyed it. Just a pity you didn't have my custom skin, hope we can work it out for the following race ;)

    Thanks, John.
    I typically run with another league on Sundays, but this year things are a bit different on the schedule for me so I have been looking for some Sunday series to join.
    I've got to make sure I don't have races overlapping each other, or create a schedule where I end up with too much on my plate and not enough time to prep properly (which generally leads to frustration)....but, at this current time I'm probably going to register for the rest of this series and will do my best to make all the rounds still to be ran.
    Definitely going to make Road America! So I guess I'll see you guys there then :)

    ETA: Just registered...seems like I'm the 8th LMP2 driver on the list.
    Is there a cap on LMP2s or on the grid overall? It's showing me red lighted but doesn't seem the cap for the class would be quite this low? Just curious as I'd like to make sure I'm ready to go. TIA.

    Hi Jason,
    You are in for LMP2. I am increasing LMP2 for more signups today or tomorrow. That way you will automatically promote to green.
