It's just hard to embed links on this site I think maybe I don't know actually. Can I copy paste?

Our Thursday races get broadcasted on iRacing TV. So yeah, there are spectators. Usually not so much live but a lot of American views when they get off work or out of bed.
There are series where if you win, you get a contract with a real race team to see how you go. None of us have the credentials to race that series though and just like real life, you'll probably need sponsorships to make it.

Don't be afraid to go for your dreams just because you can't control them, especially you, controller of dreams.

Race day in about... 5hrs practice will open.
So I'm getting more confident with the track and car, still not awesome but I'm hoping good enough to last 45 laps. It's a weird track. We have 4 gears in the NASCAR and we're only using 2nd and 3rd over a 1:40s lap. It wheelhops too much going into 1st gear and the hot California sun makes the tarmac too sliperry to really get out of 3rd gear.

I switched from H pattern to paddle shifting, it's easier and less mistakes.
I found some more speed. Qualified 9th. About to start in about 15mins.
Im nervous and scared. The race should go for just over an hour. I'm just going to run safe and make minimum mistakes see what happens.

8th place!
Hard race did what I said. Made no mistakes and finished 8th.
There is suspicion the winner wasn't actually racing, it may have been someone we banned before logging in as someone else.
If so, I'll come 7th.

One of my side Admins is lodging a complaint to iracing and asking to check IPs. If it is somebody else driver for him, both drivers will be permenantly banned from iRacing and one of them is on "road to pro" so if they've done this and fucked up, his life is literally shattered cause this is all he does, has sponsors etc.
If its true they're dickheads, they should have just won by a few seconds, not lap the entire field it's a give away.
Anyway wrapped with my 8th. Average finish of 8 7.5 on road course week. 😊 I'll take that any road course week of any year lol.
