Confidence

Little IQ exists anymore with all the twitch streamers getting paid into racing now

Thanks! GoPro Hero 7 Black.

It was a bummer, but still, after driving the rFactor 2 version of the Indy GP course many, many times over the past few months (the iRacing version is outdated but slated for an update), it was still a bunch of fun to drive the real thing. I just wish they would have kept it green through the rain. We were ready to switch to rains in the hot pits. That would have been so much fun!

I was shocked that you didn’t warm your tires on the pace lap. Not a weave, not a single hard braking or hard acceleration. The tires were cold cause you didn’t do anything to build heat in them…..no surprise you spun when you gassed it…..stupid question but is tire warming a skill you haven’t learned or did you just goof? It happens, hopefully the experience helps you in the future.

@@bryancohn9406 And just how many races have you been in ?

@@CORNDODGER been racing since age 17, two SCCA Runoffs, one podium at the NASA Championships, seven divisional titles (admittedly not all were very competitive fields but four of them were), owned over 30 different race cars, driven over 60 different race cars in over 40 different classes, owned a race prep shop ‘90-‘02 before going to work for sanctioning bodies in executive roles and I trained at Skip Barber Racing as a driving instructor/coach, working for the company 90-95. Oh and I work as a driving coach currently, just back from the new track, Ozarks International Raceway from a private testing day. One of the things I teach ALL my clients, HPDE, Time Trial, Racing is how to warm tires by loading them via turning, acceleration and braking. That’s the whole purpose of pace laps for rolling starts or sighting laps for standing starts. Total race count is well over 400. David, long story short I’m more than qualified to ask why the driver didn’t warm his tires. I knew he was screwed when the stickers were still on the tires at the green, that only happens when the tires are still cold. A simple lighting up of the rear tires leaving pit lane would have helped, the lazy spin is exactly why you see professionals and gentlemen drivers light up the rears after pit stops, so they don’t Loop it on cold rear tires. At 56 I’m still racing, restoring two vintage race cars, a 1975 FV and 1959 HProd Bugeye. Gonna try something different with my racing after having run amateur club racing stuff for 35 years. Oh and in my professional mechanic career in the 80’s and 90’s I worked as crew chief in World Challenge & F2000, plus as a wrench on Trans Am, Can Am (final season), Indy Car, and more. My post might have come off a bit harsh I admit but i was so surprised that a driver in an F1000 car wouldn’t know anything about tire warming.

@@bryancohn9406😂😂😂😂 mic drop

If I'd had rain tires, I definitely would have used them! :D

@@teuobk XD well I guess you had one heck of a moment of concentration to get through without spinning !
