Was thankful when the rain started again, was getting pretty sketchy up until then, chicane got the better of me twice just before the rain started again, interesting race strategy wise. If it rains at Laguna Seca I’m taking up cycling hahahaThat was really hard work. Thanks everyone, hope I got out of everyone's way ok (Apart from Oliver Z, sorry again, my clumsy mistake.) Love the rain tho, really found it fun to drive in, and for the last dry session I just drove thru it on wets, and it seemed to work out as the rain started again towards the end of the race. Had great fun again, thanks everyone. Onto Laguna Seca. Gulp.
I was thinking that - pulled a blinder of a strategy!Me in the cockpit when I see Johann is 30 seconds ahead after round of pit stops……. View attachment 639766
Multiple showers, green, greasy, damp, wet, you name it, we had it.Ah man, sounds awesome!
So we had a damp start, then it went dry then you had another shower later on?
Some great racing from what I saw, it was awesome to see two Lexus' battling it out.

This was the best race I've ever had in my short simracing career.
Although qualifying started with light rain and a damp track, I managed to qualify on pos 5, despite a lack of training in the rain. Race start: the track is damp again (I believe), a little drizzle, but according to the forecast this will change in 10 minutes. So I take the gamble, start on slicks and lose 5 positions in lap one. Everybody else is pitting around lap 3-4 and I take the lead. Shortly after, I accelerate on a curb and hit the wall, resulting in 19 seconds of damage. Halfway through, the weather is changing again, and it's going to rain (light rain) in about 5 minutes. Lucky me, I still have to take my pit stop. So I decide to pit for wets this time (no damage repair), and so does everybody else. After my pit stop, I'm still first but Enrico and Andrew are catching, and I'm losing time because I didn't practise in the rain. 5 minutes to go, Enrico is in striking distance because his pace is amazing, and I spun in the chicane. On the next lap, he finally overtakes me and I take the second place. Congrats to Enrico and Andrew for the podiums, and a big shout-out to Chris for organizing this race! Wish you a speedy recovery, mate!
