    I'm ultra-conservative most races, and even then I still end up collected in somebody's mess way too often. I'm usually getting a 4x somewhere in a race from some yahoo clipping off a wall and me having nowhere to go.

    But I really don't like the current method of driving around on the slip angle where you're in a constant drift. That's completely opposite of how I drive, so I'll never be super fast in iRacing. I just try to stay clean.
    Are you driving with the new NW2011 COT or something else right now. I love the feeling of the NTM, as it feels a lot more realistic than say the current Sprint Cup COT.

      Seems like almost everyone is around the same irating bracket atleast. Tire model is the first time I've run any ovals in over a year, Grand-Am has my focus

        Almost exclusively the NW car now. After running that, going back to the Trucks really felt off. So I'm only running the NTM NW car now.

          Not sure if knowing my name from the iRacing boards is a good thing or not, ha.

                    Thanks, need to get back into it more, my iRating has taken a bit of a dive over the last few years.

                    This is a great tool if you have not seen it

                          People really seem to enjoy passing me, so keep that in mind.

                              Well, I don't know how much time I want to spend "leveling up"... driving around in a Legends car is not very fun to me. Knowing that I can drive a NW car has spoiled me rotten in a big way.

                              Last night Bob and I hopped into an Atlanta race with +30 people. Bob got caught up early against the wall. I managed a 4th place finish and passed a few A class drivers in the process. I'm not sure how the license works but it seems as though some are legit A class drivers and others magically leveled up and now seem over-rated.

                              We then jumped over to a Texas hosted practice which full of mayhem and carnage. (Most of the practice reminded me of the intro. race scene in Cars 1 when all the cars pile up.) I noticed a few OS guys in there but I didn't say anything via the mic since Bob and I were in private chat working on set-ups.

                              I'm looking forward to doing some private races with OS and others. The new car and tire model is absolutely addicting. See you on the track, guys!

                                Would have loved to have been in the setup loop.

                                I was driving around the Advanced that was fine for about a lap--then started pushing so bad I had to slow to a crawl getting into each corner.

                                I eventually gave up and packed it in for the night.
