Avoid Sim Racing Burnout
- Take a break and get outside.
- Avoid running the same races over and over again.
- Include other fun games like simcades versus simulations.

Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Official Series
GT4
- Donnie S – Daytona and Mugello Results
IMSA
- Brad W – P6 (GTD-Daytona) Had a horrible qualifying and figured I was doomed. It was typical Daytona on the first lap. Avoided too many spinning cars and was up in the top 10 coming out of the infield only to be spun coming on to the banking. The eyes turned red and I was driving like a mad man. Played the pit strategy right, took just enough fuel to finish and jumped a bunch of cars. Was happy at the end but know I have a better finish in the car.
GT Sprint Simucube Series
- William W – 1/11 P4. Started P7 finish P4. Didn’t feel like I was as fast as some that I finished ahead of, but kept it clean and good pitstop.
GT Endurance Series
- William W – P26 Qualified horrible, started P52, getting used to porsche, up to P40 by lap 3 then got dumped in the horseshoe. Mostly incident free after that to finish P26, but could have been better.
Roar Before the 24
- William W – P11. Self sabotage. First time driving the AMG in months. No practice. Started middle pack, got black flag on lap 3 for not clearing a slow down. Recovered nicely, but could have been much better without the self inflicted wounds.
- Brad W – P5 (GT4) What a fun race! Did not have a great qualifying lap but in race trim the car was great. Ran multiple people down making my way to the front to grab p5 by inches at the line.
League / Hosted Races
Leagues
- Westbrook’s GTP/GT3 League – Daytona Week P3. Could have been P2 but got some damage pushing out of turn 5. Glad to hold onto P3 after that. Was a rather sloppy race than normal as far as driving standards are concerned in this league.
Majors Series
- Brad W P17 (GTD-Majors2.4) Started on pole but lost P1 because of iRacing multiclass starting issues. Lap one a safety car was called and half the field did not “hear” it. Lost 4 spots for cars passing under yellow. They were not penalized but that rant is over. Drove back up to p2 before first stop, cand came out and the car was a mess. I spun multiple times, used my fast repair and spun multiple times again. Could not figure out what was wrong until I parked it. Went to the garage and saw I had put on Wet tires. I had a button on my wheel mapped to change compounds and I somehow hit it during the first stint. I threw this one away. Needless to say, that mapping is now moved to the button box.
- David P4 – Was comfortably in third, a lapped GTP dove bomb a gt3, the gt3 freaked out and spun into me.
Hosted-
- Ellis –supercars at Michigan Chris McGuire hosted finished P4
- At Charlotte legend’s oval legend cars and radical SR8. Started in the back finish P8.
- Supercars in Michigan wrecked out
- All in the car at Pocono started at 12 finish P4
- Lotus 49 and star Mazda at Pocono Road course start at P 12 finished p seven
- BMW M2 at lime rock started P3 finish. P2 had a good battle getting around second to take that V2 nice clean pass.
- Then Pole position – let every lap no one challenge me, pulled away to almost 7 second gap to win the race career win number 105
- Then fifth finished second
- Then started fifth and won the race winner winner chicken dinner number 106
- Westbrook – Sim Racing for the Kids. This was technically before last week’s show, but I’d like to talk about it if we have time. Great time for a great cause. Both of our teams had a fantastic time. We placed P12 after a bit of a slip in qualifying. Super clean race for our end. Sister team P2
Polar Series – Legacy Kentucky
- Mike – P18
- David Hall – P15, accidentally started from pits, and thus couldn’t make it on 1 stop
