Round 3 - Indianapolis GP Saturday, 2nd June 2018 - Sign-Up

I really like this version of the track. This is my first time on it (the last on Forza 3 or 4 with the older layout). Sorry I had to bail on our test session, it was a spur of the moment thing and I didn't take into account how much time I had left planned

So, you basically retired then? Just putting the Unofficial Results and standings on the vid and then it should be up in a couple hours

EDIT: You'd be in 4th with 37pts if you didn't retire because you would have gotten 10pts! Otherwise youre in 6th with 27pts. I really hope you didn't lol

Yeah that was a brown shorts moment. I did that a lot in private testing and it nearly always ended like LeMarrrrr in the wall.

Anyways, firstly thanks for all the props last night and on here besides the moment above and one around the turn 1,2 and 3 complex (I did a Rahal and took too much curb) other than that I was mostly fuel saving all day. I don’t think it’s a two stop race but it’s a push and go one, tyre wear was zero of an issue especially once we got some rubber down from FP/Q.

Other than the above issues my race played out pretty well. Once into FP I banged in a low 1:14 then a high 1:13 which I was shocked about as I’ve been doing nothing like that all week. I was even more shocked that I was over a second quicker than everyone else.
Qualyfing was pretty much the same and with 10 mins to go I basically just kept going out to rubber the pit box up with the next two cars being around half a second behind I was confident I had pole which I did.
with the race I blow the race start dropping the ball on light anticipation.
once my issues had been and gone I set about catching the field back and at one point there was LeMarrrr, SgtF1,Hurt and me all within visual of each other it looked like it would be a epic battle and was greatly helping my fuel mileage then Hurt the wall and I was waiting for him to go airplane but it didn’t happen I got past him into turn 1 when he went deep (due to his damage I guess). At some point F1 and LeMarrrrr swapped place and I was pushing to catch them I had a hell of a battle with F1 who made that Snapple car very very wide. A bit latter I had a similar battle with LeMarrrrr and we swapped places a couple of times before he span on the final turn (it’s that concrete patch) after that I cruised to my pit stop careful of my MPG.
At the stop I over shot the box and had to be pulled back this I think allwowed F1 to retake the lead before his stop. 
The rest of the race was pretty much watching the Sunoco and my last lap or 2 I pretty much sat behind Shneeb and Hurt.
I had a great race and some good battles it’s a shame we didn’t have a bigger grid and with luck we will soon.
Roll on the oval.

I one stopped but I had to left and coast a fair bit.

It may have something to do with the volume of cars it’s probably as much to do with us all doing the reset etc as well.
theres probably also a degree of Lady Luck.

2 stop seemed the way to go, not only from a tyre or fuel perspective but also a tactical view. I did some testing on a full tank and then a comparison 16 lap run which was 2 to 3 seconds a lap quicker
