Hwy929: iRacing | FF1600 | TT | VIR | Rain (2024-S02-W12)

Last week of season 2. iRacing at Virginia International Raceway on the Grand Course layout. I haven't run that 4+ mile layout in a couple years, since I was doing Skippy races. It took me several hours of practice to relearn the 22 turns and the blind switchbacks after the elevation changes.

Practice looked promising with lots of traction, even with a light rain. But the rain came down hard with the start of qualifying. I could not get any valid laps in and ended up with P8 at the start.

The start of the race saw max rain. I got a good launch and avoided the crashes and moved up to P5 after the first couple of turns. I was able to keep a clean race with one hit from behind and overshooting a turn once. Both were insignificant and I finished the race with only 5 incidents.

I added some off track highlights from the race in the wide bottom panel. Hope y'all enjoy the race.

Let me know in the comments what you'd like to see me race next season. I'm not doing a full series in the rain again. At least not in a car that doesn't have rain tires as an option. I'd love to race the FF1600 again in the dry. It's a fun car. I'm leaning towards the GR86 since I have not raced that car before and it does have rain tires optional. I like driving slow cars fast so GR86, Spec Ford or something like that. Maybe advanced MX5 so I'll learn about fuel and pit stops.
