I love this track/car combination ...I can't break a 1:01 (even with some secret expert coaching) but I do love this track :love:

Expert coaching! Are you taking the Alien8RS race school, of something similar?

Looking at the stats, I've run a 59.9, Gay a 59.8, Paul a 59.6, and Weatherbee a 59.2.

Been a while since running the MX-5 here though (or anywhere for that matter). I'm sure to be rusty.

Ironically, this is the only track/car that I actually tried on iracing. It is addictive. 1:01's yeah I can't say I remember my times, but I can say that I wish my time was that low. I still had fun though.

Like anything, it takes time & practice. Most of us started out our iRacing career running the MX-5 here at LRP, racking up 100's (if not 1000's) of laps.

Brian, you welcome to drop by anytime and run some laps if you'd like to try it again.

I had a local Jedi master help me 8)


Wow, Alien8RS is sure getting crapped all over for trying to help... sheesh

In that thread I found this tutorial though:


BTW this guy doesn't brake going through T5 ...I can certainly see that being worth 2 seconds, but I don't think even my local Yoda can do that?

Come on out Friday night Brian, we won't tell the GT5 camp :roll:

On the topic of braking (or not) at Lime Rock in the MX-5, here's a good (and entertaining) read:

iRacers… when driving Lime Rock in the Mazda MX-5… you only need to use the brake… twice. Yes! Twice!

Not going to make this week either. :( Should be a great car/track combo, especially with the draft being what it is now.

So inquiring minds want to know... Who won?

Per my conversation with Scott I was so disappointed that I couldn't make this race ...but due to upcoming weather I made a quick decision to fly to Virgina to pick up a car.
(not that it mattered me leaving Friday as we missed our connector flight in Toronto due to a holdup at customs and couldn't get the car until Saturday anyway ...uh, yes I have more than $10K on me per the form I filled out as I'm going to buy a car. Oh, now we get to go to the special room do we, sweet!)

Thanks
Stacy

Here's the results from race #1 & #2. There are no results for #3 for some reason...

Here's the Points Standings after our 2nd night of the series:

Unfortunately, I couldn't make it. I've been flat on my back since last Friday with a back injury. Today is the first time I've tried sitting at the computer, and even still I can only handle short periods of sitting upright. Hopefully I'll have recovered enough by Friday to join the F2000 races.
