    Best of luck, I drank myself into the Emergency room yesterday. A sugary Latte` and it spiked my glucose levels so high that I needed a ride in the Ambulance to get an insulin injection before I blanked out. Covid is WAAYY more worser. Be well.

    Well I'm still negative after 5 days so good news for me. Pain is just a stupid broken rib. Huge PITA for simracing.

    This week we stick with the F3's and are taking on Watson Raceway. I know we don't normally do fantasy tracks but this has a nice flow about it and it's certainly tricky enough to be lots of fun.

    Was lucky to have a track perfectly suited to my driving this week and was left alone while everyone duked it out behind. Won't have the same luxury this week. Off to Riverside Nascar in our trusty F3's.

    Managed a win but was lucky that WL71 had VR issues. Bad luck mate. This week we are off to Gnoo Blas which is an old track that was quite close to Bathurst. Think my run of Spark friendly tracks just came to an end. :D

    Pretty ordinary race for me this week. Had a spin challenging for 3rd and that was the end of that.:D
    This week we are heading to Darwin, Australia. Hidden Valley Raceway (workshop. Nibiru's version). I don't think we've raced here before or if we have it was a long time ago.

    I got a great start and stuck with EPD for a few laps but a couple of tiny mistakes put me far enough away to not be a threat. Nice driving from him, barely made a mistake.
    Haven't tested it yet but so far we are of to Aldo Scrbante in the F3. Might have a car change next week.

    Well that was a fun combo. Bad start with the car in front bogging down but managed to work my way through the field and get a reasonable break thanks to some mistakes.Had a lot of fun battles on the way.
    Change of car this week guys. Caterhams @ Crystal Palace.
    Please note if you don't have a shifter you'll need to switch to auto clutch for this.

    First race for me for ages, thankfully raced here possibly late last year so a few laps were enough to find my way around again, trundled around near the back of the field and only made 1 major mistake, happy with a 5th considering. Only thought to check setup brake strength after warmup and turning that up helped a bit (turned my load cell up at some point, heel toe is a bit challenging for me especially barefoot), then didn't think to check on tyre wear until nearly 2/3 through the race - at which point I remembered/realised these tyres are pretty hard lol. Tried to get more on the limit without falling off with mixed success, and the worst tyre was still only down to 89% by the end.

    Couple of annoying shifting errors, made worse by the lack of feedback from the game when you're not in gear, but just going to have to live with that I guess.

    7th Samurai wiped the floor with most of the field (and celebrated 100 online races... sheesh, who counts that stuff? :D) and WhiteLightning had great consistency - I nearly matched the fastest laptime of everyone except 7thSam, but I was well behind most of you by the end.

    Hopefully see you again next week!

    7th Sam here. yup, some not only count the number of races but keep a diary on every single one with comments and lap/race times and core stats. helps with reflection, tracking progress and motivation.
    so: 100 races at 59 different tracks with 42 different cars across 22 leagues. 13 races with F3 Fanatics at 8.9 drivers per race. let's round it up to 9 before we go double digit!! :)

    cool to have you back Lazza and hope to see you all guys on track soon!
