ARMS iRacing League: Week 01 - Cadillac Cup @ Mosport
Our first iRacing ARMS League race! One of the more challenging tracks on the schedule. The lack of sand traps makes for a lot of races ending on the tirewalls in T1 and T2. More races end at Moss as well. Let the Mosport carnage begin!

Track Guide (by Dylan Sharman)
Turn 1 - Coming into turn one you want to position the car to the left so and keep it in fourth gear, try and get as hit the curbing on the inside if possible and keep the momentum up
Turn 2 - When coming through turn 2 you really want to try and keep a tight line through the corner as its a long fast following corner, very easy to run wide on the exit and touch the grass, also very easy to run wide onto the grass and into the wall, so you want to get the car turned in early and try and hold it also its a fourth gear corner.
Turn 3 - For turn 3 its the same as turn 2, very easy to run wide on the exit so make the apex and get the car turned, its a third gear corner.
Turn 4 - depending on how you feel its really a slight lift reving out in fourth gear.
Turn 5 - can be taken alot of different ways, in the video i take a wider entry to try and keep the momentum up for moss, back down into 2nd gear and try not to run wide onto the dirt as you will 9/10 spin if not go straight into the wall.
Turn 6 - again its just a continuation of turn 5 so basically a double right hander, you want to try and take it as one, so keep the flow up so you can maximize your run down the long back straight. Big Note - Do not hit the curbing otherwise you will loose a ton of speed off the corner!
Turn 7 - flat out.
Turn 8 - fourth gear corner, try and keep the flow through the corner with momentum.
Turn 9 - try not to over run this corner, its a third gear corner, really easy to over shoot it but then you will loose your speed through the next corner and down the main straight.
Turn 10 - need a really good run through and off here so you can either defend your possible or try and gain. watch out for someone trying to make a dive at you though as you hang out wide on entry leaving a gap people think they can go for so really easy area for contact its also a third gear corner.
and thats a lap of Mosport.
), and practiced, practiced, practiced leading up to the event so I wouldn't be in everyones way again this season.
