Hey, guys!!!!

Coming to the party!!!

I tried iRacing a few months ago (Radical promo), but didnt renew my subscription and didnt do any racing at all, just tested the cars. Now I decided to give iRacing a real chance! But I was a little undecided a few days ago, so I decided to creat another account to use the Radical promo again.

Now I have my original account, which is better since there is no #2 after my name, and my new account. I subscribed 2 days ago, but the weekend was a hell, so I only got a chance to run last night.

I'm pretty happy with my result, since I won my 1st race in my 1st race.

Not a great laptime, but I'm still learning...

Although I did last nights race in my new account (Aritan Maia2), I'm thinking about renewing my original account, Aritan Maia, because of that 2 after my name (and because the original is gonna still be there and it's gonna confuse people who know me).

What do you guys think?

Hope to see the begginers on track and the experienced guys later, maybe.

That or the Solstice, had 2 good races in that today. Its certainly faster with ABS at Laguna - running 1:49.0 most of the time, going to a 1:48.5 quickest.

Hey, nice tips... Gona try them out also!

I would say welcome, Grant, but I also am new to this. Did my 1st race yesterday (and won! What a luck!!!), so I'm still learning... Hope to meet you (since you are starting also) on track.

Heh, I'm 1 place above you in the Solstice standings, small world

Aritan Maia · Aug 17, 2009

Clicky set it to week 2 and find yourself

6 ahead of me overall though

Aritan Maia · Aug 17, 2009

Nice!!! There I am!!!! Now I understand this stats thing a little more...
So let me get this straight... It's only possible to be champion if you race like a freak 5 times a day? Every race counts? Is this only in the Solstice or in every category? How does that work?

Sorry... Should I start a new thread?

Ben Tusting · Aug 17, 2009

Also how much fuel would you put in for a Qualy lap?

Ramon van Rijn · Aug 17, 2009

For some reason I find this Mazda such a difficult car to drive.
Managed only 2.04 at sebring were the faster guys are doing 1.59 pff.

Ben Tusting · Aug 17, 2009

Ramon i managed a 2:00 flat

The faster guys were doing 58's -57's in my race

You need to race a lot and also to be the champion you'll need a high iRating to race in the higher strength of field race splits, that way you'll get more points

I don't pay too much attention to points really, I had two great races today, just because of the battles I had.
