Q: P8
R: P3
Good race, congrats Liam for the win and good on you Pete for 2nd. I had a good time and my right arm is a little stiff after that one. It's crazy how much difference the time of year and day changes the way the car handles. I never had an issue with a bump on turn 2 before but it looked like almost everyone spun off there once or in my case a few times. I was lucky to have only taken light damage from my first spin which still was a minute in the pits but I managed to avoid any contact with the walls after that besides a few taps that didn't cause any problems.
I'm happy to have secured the last podium spot I and look forward to Road 'Merica

Q - 10th
R - DNF
Made up one place at the start of the race, got to turn one and there was a spin which I couldn't avoid. Major damage and ended up upside-down. I don't even think the oil got upto temperature.
Disappointed however Congrats to the finishers and Liam for the win.
See you next time.

Q 3
R DNF
I’ve always struggled at TMS and last night was no different, I was fairly content with P3 in quali and I was pretty confident of our race pace but small mistakes are costly and after I spun in T1 on the 1st lap I was on the back foot for the rest of the race, had some great racing at times but had too many errors that were expensive and my race finished getting towards the closing stages and retired after rolling the car and landing on the roll hoop.
Huge congratulations to Liam for the win and Peter and Tyler for your podium finishes.
Looking forward to Road America and hopefully a better performance.
Cheers
Dave

Absolutely gutted I couldn't take part, especially after seeing that Liam nabbed the W. He definitely had more pace than me but I had a ton of confidence after the practice we did Friday night. That was one of the best handling cars I've driven in the entirety of my time sim racing!
Congrats to Pete on a big podium, I can imagine how much of a boost that must be for you after all the crap you've dealt with. And the same to tyler, that's 2 in a row now isn't it?
Hoping road America is a better time for me. If I cant figure out a solution with my connection in the next week I'll be sending my rig off to a friend of mine's place where the internet comes from a cable and router and not a glorified and/or literal cellphone hotspot.

Ugh.
Q-9
R-5
no idea how to make the car go as fast as you lot in quali. Got a toe and couldn't break the 24 second mark.
Race was trying from the start. I got caught up in the spin at the start, almost cleared it but got clipped by a car and took some heavy damage. was playing catch up from there on. Had a couple more incidents and ran the whole second stint with 5 damage on my front wing and 13 damage on the front right suspension. wound up mostly doing 26s and 27s that stint but felt repairing the damage would have taken too long and added a stop.
Somewhere along the line my display got screwed up and the gaps to the other drivers wasn't showing correctly. By the end of the race it was reading a full lap off and i didn't think i had enough fuel to finish. It looked like i had one more lap to complete but i only had 0.8 litres left and needed at least 1.4 for a lap. I parked it on the finish line waiting to get lapped again and for the race to finish with the countdown clock, but that never happened. So in the end i finally crawled across the line and the race was over for me. a race to forget for sure. The one consolation being the fastest lap points i lucked into.
Congratz to the podium guys and all who managed to complete the race. it was a marathon as per usual. onto Road America.

Q - 5
R - 6
The opening few laps were good fun, but once I started spinning that was it. I Totally lost interest because it seemed random, you could take the same line 50 times & nothing would happen to me then all of a sudden next lap im in the wall.
9 pit stops & none of them were scheduled which says it all.
The last pit stop was so long I even had time to feed my cat 😂
Well done to my teammate Liam on another great win & to the rest of the podium guys.
On a positive note I’ve had a bit of practice around Road America as it’s a completely new track to me & i love it!
Already looking forward to the next one, cheers

I must be slow lol it takes me like 5-10 mins to feed my cats and clean their litterbox + area. Road 'Merica is my home race so i'll be looking to do well there too😎 |

Q P2 but inherited P1 after Patty disconnected.
R P8
Qualifying went well with another personal best but Patty had me beat by .003! Unfortunately he disconnected after setting his lap which put me into P1. So many people were so quick and the times at the top were really close, well done everyone.
The race on the other hand was one to forget. Dan smoked me on the start and was around me going into turn 1 so I was trying to get a tow down the back straight but Pete had a huge run on me coming out of 2 and was already on my inside so I had to switch to being defensive. We ran 2 wide through 3 and 4 but I'm pretty sure I came down too early in 4 and had slight contact with him so I turned out of it and hit the wall not wanting to take him out. I did my best to stay on the wall and stay out of everyone's way but it didn't happen. I then got hit by Richard and Karl and unfortunately Richard ended up on his head and out of the race. Did my best to crawl around and make it to the pits with all the damage I had but had a close scare when my car just snapped and I spun and went from the apron up to the top wall and almost collected Liam but luckily didn't. After that I was 13 laps down and just wanted to finish the race but I forgot to turn my engine down when I had about 1.5 laps of fuel left and wanted to do 2 more laps and ran out in the pitlane about 3 pit stalls before mine ending my race.
Congrats to Liam on the win and to Pete and Tyler on their podium and I'll hope to bounce back at Road America.

There was no contact on my end Adam, at least none that I noticed. I'll have to look back on my stream and replay to see if I missed it.
