Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – Charlotte ROVAL
- Mike – P computer issues
Wednesday Open – Las Vegas
- Mike- P wrecked out. Had a good first run that came from 22nd up to fourth then we had a green flag run. The caution came out while I was on pit Road and ended up taking a wave around. I was 22nd and got myself up to around 15th and then got involved in an incident where a guy got loose and I got ran over and the car was undrivable from that point DNF.
- Tom – P12.
- Brad W – P29. Started 10th and ran way too hard the first run. Made a change to the car and ran too hard the second run. Went to make a green flag pit stop and yellow came out while coming to pit road. Speeding on entering and was trapped a lap down. Played the strategy to get back on the lead lap but the last restart was on old tires. Ended up getting turned coming to the checkers. Self-inflicted issues all the race.
- Chris W – P12. Got stitches on my hand but raced Davey Allison style. Stayed out during green flag stops and got a caution. After getting fresh rubber we had a nice long run to end the race and drove up to P12. Set the fastest time in the race and NEW iR personal record 3522.
Thursday Open – Las Vegas
- Mike- P9- ran back half of the top 10 as high as P2 at one point, some guy tagged me and I fell back and had damage and from there fell back to P 22 on a longer run, but finally caught a caution with three to go, and with the subsequent cautions was able to work my way back up to finish a respectable P9 with a heavily damaged car
Official Series
FIA F4
- Ellis– P5 started at 11th got up to P6 by the end of lap one was able to not get wrecked and keep it clean from there and finish P5 Watkins Glen
- First race at Montreal and it’s raining started 11th got to finish P8
- Second race started P2 quickly took the lead and then swap the lead with two other cars back-and-forth throughout most of the race eventually reclaim the lead and was able to pull away. Bit by Bit eventually winning the race with about a seven second gap to second place. My 103rd career win 106 championship points.
- Third attempt qualified, fourth got the second spun off on my own at least once but finished P3 finally learning I need to drive off-line in the rain
- Fourth attempt started P3 got to pee too and on the first lap about halfway through got ran over from behind from a guy who completely missed the chicane I went in and got the fast repair came out 15th worked my way back up to finish P4. Heck of a drive in the rain.
B Open
- Brad W – P18. (Las Vegas) Decided to give the B car another go. Really enjoy the car but you have to drive these. Top split and out classed. Dropping iR but having a good time.
