Was a fun race all the same,battle for full 75 laps for 1st place with other guy.

Erm, how long did 75 laps take?

Did you watch the video of the race?

Each lap takes 27 seconds Its an oval course.

The Formula Mazda is a class C car, class C races usually take about 45 minutes

What dude?

If you mean your name for iracing its your name on credit card.

Not sure what you mean Syco.

That's the name for the trial.  You have to use your cc anyway after you get the promotional code, just to verify your ID, no charge applied. 

Everyone races under their real name in this thing Mister J Syco.

BBL for some praccy rounds, would be good to get a training session with a few ppl from here

Tony i think the rookie road car is running Lime Rock Park this week?
Fantastic track.
Turn up that force feedback but no more than 20 is what i like.

trying it now, took me three laps to properly negotiate the first corner!  jump on there if yer around

ok, that was fun...   starting to appreciate the videos a bit more now cully!

Nice one

Bookmark iracingworld.com guys, loads of vids on there.

that vid made me cry still 3 seconds left for me to get that time

Grim you gotta remember these guys are into this type of simracing for years.
3 seconds off is not bad at all for a rookie just starting out-its pretty good infact.
I didnt realise you had joined too.

Molc are you really using  pad?

ALso lads if anyone is thinking of subscribing and taking things further remember to takr advantage of some of the promotional offers.
See here http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/Promotions.do

I like the one that if you buy 6 items ,trakcs and/or cars you get 30% off full cost.

If you lads were to get promoted to class D you can then run the skip barber series which is a great fun series.
Rookie promotions are every 4 weeks as opposed to 12 weeks for other classes so that means in 3 weeks or so yee can race the skip barber,i think its 4 weeks  but could be less.
