Decided to try my hand at some iRacing road course racing at Watkins Glen last night in a Cadillac CTS-VR.
What a mistake.
Didn't get an official qualifying lap because I got off course on both laps. So started at the back.
On the first lap, got door slammed by a car, then the car in front of me lost control and I had no time to react. Pitted for my fast repair, and ran the car too hard trying to make up for lost time. Basically rage quit because I had a 16/17x, and just wasn't having fun.
The bad news, my SR and iRating for road courses plummeted.
Road class C:
SR: 2.02 (-0.29) yikes!
iRating: 997 (-66)
Yeah, I need more practice in those cars.
However...
Redeemed myself tonight at a Class C oval truck race.
Started 8th at Charlotte, ran in the top 5 for the first stretch, then missed the big one right in front of me. Pitted for tires, which was a good move since it turned out to be the only caution. Was running as high as 3rd but wore my tires out and faded to 5th at the end. Got into another car and drove through the grass avoiding the earlier wreck, so ended with a 5x.
Oval SR: 2.85
iRating: 1597
