Ok so the fastest I've managed so far is a 1:23.564. I don't have paddle shifters so I'm gonna blame my slow time solely on that hahaha.
Did you have a chance to give it try yet? I love that track. I'm working on a lap around Laguna Seca right now in a Lada, I should have a lap to post later today.
Any luck yet? I have been working on a lap around Laguna Seca in that Lada you shared. I'll probably have a good lap to share later today. By the way, a full grid of Ladas at Laguna is some of the most fun I've ever had racing.
So as corny as this is going to sound, yesterday I was talking to the only person irl that I've told I was trans. Anyway, I was telling him how even though coming out to my husband last week had temporarily driven a massive wedge between us while he processed what I told him, and that I was an anxious wreck because I thought I'd ruined my relationship with my husband because I went so long keeping this inside. But, in the end it had brought us closer together than we've ever been. And I told my friend that to me life is a never ending game of "find the silver lining".
Well then my friend put this song on, and the song absolutely gutted me. I don't know if it pertains specifically to my gender, but it definitely resonated with how I felt my journey is going. I've listened to it before but I had never really listened to it. Anyway, here's the song:
My silver lining - first aid kit
Please put down the lathe.
Wow my wheel and iracing are not getting along today. Keeps losing connection at the worst times.
Oh shit do we need a lada league night? Ladas at Laguna has a nice ring to it.
right foot brake
yeah I know I really need to get more comfortable with left braking. I always apply a little too much when I do, so it's not reliable yet. But it is something I've really been working on. Especially since being called out about it several times in this thread.
Damn that looked fast. Ok adding it to the list. Oooo looks like you used a free car too. Nice! I'll give it a shot tonight, though I suspect I won't get anywhere near that time.
A beautiful track that is deceptively difficult with razor thin margins of error in a bunch of places. I've had so many good laps ruined by touching dirt in the wrong place. The car is underpowered too, so you gotta really send it places to keep it in the powerband. There are lots of blind corners, uneven pavement, and obstacles just off the track. Fruit stands, poles, and walls are gonna be everyone's friend.
But my technique sucks and there is tons of time out there to shave. So it should be fun.
I'm even more glad that I nuked all my accounts over there a few months ago.
