The start was clean, Andy got loose in T1 and we all got by fine. I came into T5 too hot and moved to P2 but slowed to give back an unearned (dive-bomb) pass. Went around another lap in 3rd, braked for T5 and out of nowhere I feel the impact and see a car go over my head. Car was destroyed, waited for a minute in the pits and lost whatever concentration I had, after looping it a few times I quit. Nice to see over 10 guys running though!

oops.
that setup is better than most SRF sets but it's still a tricky car to drive fast.
I bailed after going a lap down in the pits and did an Indycar oval fixed race. I love that series!
btw, nice to see some new guys in the league. welcome, and you're not officially part of the gang until I've run into you!

I basically had the same problem. I held back at the first turn, and I was slotted behind Vito. I felt like I was a little faster, but it is very very hard to pass in these things and I went way to hot into that downhill section after turn 2 and crunched the car. Next week!

No worries Guy, i'd rather have it happen in iRacing than at the PCA Club Race! I think the "trick" to driving the SRF relatively quick (in iRacing) is to keep the car balanced with left foot braking. I can keep my throttle planted from T3 on and just LFB into T4 and she stays stable. If I try and balance the car with just my right foot it's a lot more squirrley. In my 911 a light lift settles the car so it isn't all that different. I'm just sorry Andy J. lost it so early as he is a force to be reckoned with it seems!
any recommendations on next week's race?

The RL Rookies are mostly new and as you guys put up a race using the standard tracks tonight it seemed like a good idea to join up as the more the merrier. Our next race was going to be WGI (full w/chicane), I like the DP car there and I don't think many would object to that. Fixed setup keeps it simple as one persons hot setup may be nasty to another.. Just my $.02
