We had a practice session on Saturday that went quite well! Here's a preview of what to expect going into the race on Grand Valley South...

Pace: Roughly 1:21 to 1:23, though we had a driver land a 1:20.6 during practice.
Tires: Tires should endure the entire race length without any ill effect on performance.
Fuel: Expect 15 to 16 lap stints in between pit stops - about 22 minutes between pit stops, meaning the race will be a two-stop race on standard fuel map
Track Limits: Hoo boy. Some corners are pretty rough if you haven't learned the boundaries yet, and that can leave a lot of time on the table pace-wise.

Our first event went off relatively well! Solid connections, solid performance across the board. We had a very close battle all the way to the end between our drivers Megg230, lonely_mountain and Phobos.

Our next race is at Watkins Glen on the 23rd, looking forward to seeing you all there
