I have been racing this series ever since it started in season 3. It is a great series, lots of close clean racing. Had another great race today at Mosport.
I got home and in the rig a little after 4:00. Jumped into a practice session and downloaded a setup from one of the faster drivers in the series. I have driven Mosport plenty, but never in the MX5 before. Got 2 laps completed before I had to get out and jump in the race at 4:15. Got another 2 laps in during warmup. Setup felt good, so I used it for the race.
I hadn't qualified, but not too many others did either, so I started 5th in a field of 13. 2 of the top 3 went off the track in T2 lap one, then 1st place screwed up somewhere else so I ended up 3rd after the 1st lap. Then the battle started. The 6th place started had jumped up to 1st, but then he went of the track in T2, lap 3 which put me in second. I was getting a much better run out of Moss corner than the guy in front of me which allowed me a clean pass for 1st on lap 4.
We then kept it really close for 5 laps. I was a little faster on the front half of the course and going up the hill, but he was a little faster at the end of the track. I made a little mistake on the very end of the track allowing him to get by me, but he only held it for 1 lap before he went off in T2.
Then I had a big enough gap that he couldn't draft anymore, so I kept slowly pulling away and cruised to a win. Awesome racing in that series.
Here is the setup I used, it works great, don't need to change a thing. Has enough fuel for the race.
