Haha wow i just read this post
I feel loved bobo is standing by me so hardcore
First of all i want to clear up the belt situation. As you guys know it was my first few races, and having never done anything like this before I was all over the map as far as scheduling goes. I thought I had more time before the race started and clearly i didn’t! Yea. disorganized. No doubt.
Anyways, I got to the mock grid (for you guys that dont know thats like the line up of cars ready to go out on teh track). Now I made it INTO my car before all the cars went out onto the track, but i did not actually get belted up and ready to go in time. The cars left, i belted up and put my net on. My net was ON before I went on the track. I want that to be very clear.
Now the reason i stopped at the pit exit - please read this carefully - is because i thought (being a noob and not knowing) that the grid was going to do one more pace lap and merge me into my qualifying position! I didn’t know that I had to GO GO GO and catch the pack. So a tow truck comes over to me and asks me whats up. Did the car stall? Broke somethign? I go “nah dude im just waiting for the grid to come around so the lady will put me in my position since i was late”
he goes “Nah man you gotta GOOOOOOO!!!” hahaha i was like OH MAN! Serious activity is about to ensue!
So i drove shannonville as fast as I knew how, on cold tires. Yea i slid a bit, but i was fast. And i caught the pack, and my tires were warm 
As far as me sliding my car, its honestly just about consistency. Sometimes i brake just a touch too late, and have to trail brake to make the corner. Yea i’m pushing a bit too hard. But give me time to get the consitency down. In the last race I didn’t get sideways at all.
As for finishing 40sec behind on a regular basis from the T1 cars. My car is a turbo car and i’m always afraid its going to blow. When i have the GT lead - OR when i KNOW i can’t catch the GT leader and am comfortable in my position, i will slow down about 2-3 seconds per lap to save the car. Shift lower, stay in 4th where id normally go down to 3rd, and corner a bit slower. Brake earlier to save the pads etc.
So thats why you’ll see me hounding andrew for a few laps and passing nicol and then backing off so hardcore. Nicol’s car is AWESOME. It can keep going and going and going at its qualifying time. I wish I could do that. But i can’t. I’ll either overheat, or melt the tires.
Anyways, you guys should all come out this weekend its going to be exciting. I’m raising the boost up for the 20min and with some downforce work im going to try and catch that porsche. You’ll def see me hanging with andrew though.
As for updates, i guess i could post some race updates on this site i just dont want to be all “look at me im racing” you feeeellllll
and seriously - if anyone has a problem with me, tell them to come talk to me. This isn’t high school. If you’re too bored with racing that you feel you need to gosip, maybe you should find a new hobby?
