Er, any chance of mentioning the name of the track at which this event took place? I've read Mangum's aricle twice but fund no reference to the location at all! From the screenshots I'm guessing Mid-Ohio but may well be wrong.

The first event was "Tame the Stang!" which coincided with the release of the Ford Mustang racing car and the Mid Ohio track.

Oh, the egg is on my face. For the first time in many years, this calls for an emoticon: oops

Sorry, Mag, I should have known better.

Nice writeup Magnum, that was a lot of fun and great to race with the SHQ folks on iRacing.

I'm looking fwd to the next one this weekend, I guess I need to get practicing with the SRT in the next day or two as I haven't driven it much since it first came out, I'm sure it will be fun either way.

Nice article and shots but you didn't mention me getting my blue flags wrong and letting Coutie through for position thinking I was being lapped by the leader.

I hope that never comes out.... thumbsup

Nice read Magnum.

Those screenies look like real life photos. Is the track that nice looking?

IMO, and I'm no expert... i play alot of racing games but never have devoted enough time/energy in knowing whats the best... best iRacing has the best tracks in any game I've played, and supposedly all very realistic.

Race 2 screens coming up later in the screenshot forum.
