Congrats Luke! Good luck for your real racing season.
And thanks for the session last night! Me and Stephane Sauvé were the only one on track for a long period...
Personnally, It was my first time at Cota and apart from turn 2, and I'd say turn 8 (quick left hander after the esses, coming into a straight), I don't get much rewards driving the track.
It is beau-ti-ful, but most of the corners are slow. Too slow. Coming very fast and braking like crazy.
Of course, I'm used to Mt-Tremblant, Mosport and WGI (in real life) and Road Atlanta, Road America on iRacing... So that doesn't help.

Even after I seemed to have gotten "on pace" I still can't say I really like the track. It's got lots of technical bits, which I usually like, but overall, I feel pretty "meh" about the place.
I guess I'll go ahead and credit iRacing for saving me a few thousand bucks... next time I get asked by my friends, "Hey want to caravan down to COTA for a DE?" I'll say no LOL

Exactly that! And I too I'm thankful to iRacing for saving me lots of $$$...

On a slightly more serious note - I *do* believe iRacing HAS saved me buckets of money. I have less than one race weekend's worth of $$$ tied up into my rig in the basement and it's easily given me thousands of hours of track time over the years. It's been good enough to give me my racing "fix" and spare my poor credit cards from the last time I tried pro racing (cha-ching $$$$$ took me YEARS to pay that crap off...)

I was planning to join, but when I tried to get on around 8, the server was down. I just decided to get some other stuff done instead of sitting around hoping it came back online - good to hear it eventually did though.
