I regret not having time to build a car on the first place

Damn, I wish I had taken part in this.

The competition is certainly quite good this time around. A lot of potential for leaderboard changes.

And actually TU would have someone else on top if it wasn't for a design snafu... I was sent a design that had a 2000cc engine, and the owner didn't get it revised in time before the deadline. Just a .1mm tick-down of stroke would have made it legal (at 1998cc). just for grins I ran its times.. would have been 1st, 1st, and 2nd in the 3 races so far.

I'm definitely much happier with my entry's performances this time around. I'm within 10 sec of the fastest car on most of the races so far and my overall times have improved over last years competition

[Chipskate]

Personally I'm pretty happy with how things are turning out I was expecting getting owned big-time since I'm so inexperienced at the game, but two second places and consistently finishing in the top half of the grid isn't anything to scoff about me thinks.

The series' return to American soil meant a day of fierce battling at Sonoma Raceway. Though more TX cars broke the 2 minute barrier, the majority of the action occurred in the TU class. Less than 5 seconds separated first and last among the small cars. At the end of the day, while no leaderboard changes occurred in TU, a number of battles--particularly at the back of the pack--got a lot tighter heading into the back half of the season. In the TX class, a couple position changes did occur, and Banks Motorsports was able to complete its second race of the season, giving them at least a little momentum as they head to Europe again.

"Prato Motors, consistency is key"

[rileybanks]

This driver cannot drive.
IRL I didn't check for lua errors because I was caught up with BSLL and Airfield Power Laps

[RaduST]

I just realized I've lost 1st in TU because i forgot to communicate a spring rate setting. This is a little frustrating.

[VicVictory]

And that kind of thing goes to show just how tight the competition is. I know it might be frustrating for you, but for me it's very exciting to see.

Don't get me wrong. I'm loving every bit of this championship.

The Spanish sun rises on the day's competition. Tension is high as several teams question whether adjustments made to their cars will pay off.

Despite the long front straight, the technical curves over the rest of the course once again give a bit of an advantage to the TU class cars. Competition is fierce, and the small cars end the day with less than a 7 second spread from first to last (compared to 11 seconds in the TX class).

1st - oppositelock - 2:19.12
2nd - Chipskate - 2:19.20
