Running 2:09's on race fuel. This car is so tough, but it feels nice when you learn patience. It's such a different driving style than anything else in the sim. This thing really has to be coaxed into the corner with trail braking, and the exit must be handled with patient aggression.

Thanks for sharing Wes ... I love your setups -- David

A setup from another league, pretty stable setup and I can do 2:11, others were doing 2:09's. RoadAmerica_Steven.sto

The race was *rolleyes* - I'm usually good on Road America, but the Ford GT have unpredicted braking strength and bumpy rumble strips. I actually jumped on end of rumble strip and threw me to left and hit Kris Husdon (sorry about that, Kris

). I mean I have across very same rumble strip many, many times in different vehicles and it NEVER made my cars jumped. I’m bit disappointed over that.

I had a great race!! Sat on Pole and managed to get a gap at the beginning. Kris and Devin started to reel me back in and then Devin had an issue that took him out of the race. Then Kris was on my butt for almost the entire race before he too had an issue. The last few laps were kinda lonely, so I just tried to hit my marks and managed to bring home the win.

Congrats to the rest of the podium and I am looking forward to next week in the Vette!!! Woohoo!!
