Going to do it anyway... ya I know it could be a SR and iRating killer... but I've been racing too Conservative this past year... Thats why I have such a low iRating, yet a high license and SR... I'm use to playing it safe and getting out of the way, or more so panicking when I see someone in my rearview...

But going to go balls to the wall today in my first official multi-class race today... twice even... got to see what happens, got to become a racer and not just a Sunday driver... I've practiced, I've become consistent, even just time trial-ed without incident, and a pretty good time, just 2 seconds off the top drivers.

So at 2 PM and again at 4 PM today, (football is over...well except tonights Superbowl, lol.) Taking my Mustang to the Glen, and hoping I get lucky with a good group of DP drivers. Since thats really all it is now, luck.
I'm a class A with a 2.59 SR, and a terrible 988 iRating... lets see how fast I can fall or climb in those numbers this season. Balls to the Wall time.


Look for my AAR after todays events.

Good luck Magnum! Put 'em up on the dash and show 'em what you got!!

LMFAO

Well good luck this afternoon at the Glen. I raced my races yesterday. First race was a complete disaster. Guy in front of me laid back i guess coming to the green then gassed it. As he ran up on the guy in front, he slammed on the brakes. I did the same and tried to make a correction, sent me across the track. Again, this is coming to the green!

Anyway, ran again two hours later and had a blast. Not the way i wanted to get the season started, but its a long way to go.

I remember watching the Daytona 24 and someone in a GT car said that with the DP buzzing around he had to watch behind him more than he did in front. Mustang guys have all my respect. I drive a DP and I'm just looking not to ruin a Mustang drivers race.

Anyway, good luck!!

I ran my first multi class yesterday (other than SHQ races)... I took my gt2 ti then glen with 32 other drivers mainly in HPD's and Corvettes.. I gotta say i was pretty terrified.. However i started 32nd (no quali) but managed to move up to 17th overall (2nd in class) so all in all a good result i'd say.

I pretty much spent the whole race dodging HPD's charging me into corners.. Still, i enjoyed it.. eventually!

Good luck Mag! Dont be afraid to use that bumper either

I too was like that, then thought sod it and drove aggressive..my SR hangs around 3.8 and road about 2.7, but its more fun

Race 1 Strike 1... rear-ended on lap 13 in the bus stop by a DP... then he blames me for not picking a line... excuse me, theres really only 1 line there for the stang. lol

Got to see Conny race in the DP, he finished third... nice... not sure how we ended up in the same split, your far better then I, lol.

Well next one at 4.

Yep, i watched the race. DP never gave you a chance to pick a line exiting the bus stop. It was fun to watch though. Nice pass early in the race in sector 1. Conny, ur a beast. You and your SSR teammate laid down an impressive pace. Leader caught traffic in good spots and he never stepped off the track. Good race overall guys.

Yeah I hate that, the divebombing DP driver who thinks a chicane has lines for two, if that guy had ever driven the Mustang through there before graduating to the DP he would know that (sometimes I miss the old slow license system on iRacing)... personally I tend to block going into that situation now where we are close to the turning point and the DP is still behind... I will turn in early to prevent the divebomb, DPs will yell at me at times but it stops the unrealistically hopeful DP divebombers.

Good luck on your race at 4p, first couple of weeks are rough in multiclass until the unqualified DPs learn how to give and take and/or drop out.

I didn't like that my lap times were 2 secs slower then practice and TT... but always having to yield... when I saw the blue flag, each time it was like... "oh here we go", lol
