RACE ONE RESULTS: 13th
RACE TWO RESULTS: DSQ

Bit of an up-and-down at The Glen! The Civic didn't have the pace on the straights against the other cars in the field, so making any passes required a lot of brave braking - bravery i didn't have. Race Two was going much better sitting in 10th until a lapped car spun in front of me. I couldn't stop in time, and the damage I received was enough for a meatball flag. That meant I had to pull into the pits in the next three laps, or receive a disqualification.

I could have pulled into the pits and sit in the car for ten minutes while the car gets fixed, or I could have stayed out with a car that was driving and braking straight as an arrow and just have fun racing other people with a stanced out front right tire. So I stayed out, had some fun battles, and got disqualified automatically by iRacing lmao

In summary, TCR FUCKING RULES!

Some of my sim racing posts have popped off lately, which leads me to believe some of you at the very least like the idea of Cars Going Fast. A few of you may even daydream of being the one to make Cars Go Fast. I'm here to say it is way easier than you think to get into, and it's fucking addicting. It's impossible to overstate how much of an adrenaline rush it is to push cars to the limit against other drivers - whether it's AI or real people behind the wheel. Real motorsports are often expensive if you dare to reach beyond time attack experiences or track days, and while some people take their daily drivers to the track there is an obvious risk of personal injury or destroying your only ride home that puts people off of it.

Simulation Racing is your friend, in that case. The cars you wreck are repaired in the press of a button, and the injuries you incur are at worst a chipped fingernail unless you're running an extremely expensive simulation rig with the capability of ripping your arm straight out of its socket. Only the most dedicated, sim-obsessed freaks end up on that scale of things. To be honest, if I had the money to blow on such equipment I'd be that exact kind of freak.
