I should have typed "sim racing bucket list".

A summer Saturday @ 17:00 for me is unlikely but not impossible.

I subscribed to the content last night, I'll do some laps during the week if I can.

I hope that you get a decent turnout.

I had a great time! Didn't hit anyone, didn't go up any escape roads, no spins. But did go over the Indianapolis sandbank into a little sponsor board which then required a 15sec front aero repair early in the night phase. After that i bungled along the wall at the exit of the Esses a few times for mild suspension damage, and once into the outside wall at Maison Blanche to accidentally balance out the suspension damage. I planned an out-of-synch fuel strategy to try and keep away from other cars, and i indeed spent most of the race alone, which is good for me and good for everyone else :D First few laps had some nice slipstream battles with a couple of folks.
Started 13th of 19, moved through the field as people presumably explored runoffs and damage repairs, and ended up 5th of 13 finishers.
My first long online race ever. Didn't expect such a good result!

Start, and lap 1

Cliche shot. The lighting/env effects have really gone up a notch or two over the last several months, thanks to 397 :)

I survived till the morning, then I had a huge crash into Maison Blanche and when my wreck landed I didn't know if I was facing the good side or the opposite way as I couldn't see the track ahead, so I quit in order to avoid anyone hurling into me at 310k's an hour :D
