Shawn just ran Street mod there this past weekend and won bracket battles in his 9. Putting down low-mid 1:2x laps and making ~500whp on a wet sump. You'll be fine.

 

thanks for the reassurance. which wet sump?

 

tick tock tick tock haha. i mean if ur worried just go slowly through the carousel. no good for laptimes but ur wallet will be happy.

Jump on iRacing if u wana learn road america before going there.

 

TBH games don't do it justice. It's a very daunting track in person and it's way more narrow than it looks on games. The rumble strips, which aren't painted by the way, are brutal, like brutal to the point people have bent suspension parts and shattered wheels going over them. Hell, two weeks ago we had 4 guys put their cars in a wall in just one weekend there.

It truly is an amazing track and I definitely recommend trying it out but for your first time there I wouldn't push the car 10/10ths.

 

iracing isnt a game haha. its a realistic simulation with laser scanned circuits. so it will be close to doing it justice considering the accuracy of the laser scanning

 

doesn't capture the fear, lol. watched some laps, it looks crazy

 

I have multitudes of friends that do iracing leagues. The first 3 buddies who do it I talked to after their first sessions all said nearly the same thing word for word, "It's narrower than I thought", "I wasn't prepared for how narrow it is", "Even going 2 wide in some areas is nerve wracking".

I'm not saying iracing isn't accurate. But it's no replacement for the real thing.

 

na never will replace the real thing. definately would help to learn the track before u go there
