it will be forgotten in the news cycle

OEL Historic Touring Car Series - Round 1 - Rouen

No surprise, the ET was fastest again. I was about 1 second behind in Qualifying and it was about the same gap per lap in the Race. I had a bit of top speed advantage and could creep up on him in the straights, but he would just pull away in the slow corners. I think I setup my car with too much understeer. It's just these classic touring cars are so tail happy. I just wanted to keep the back planted and prevent spinning out. Gotta dial in a bit more turn-in for the next race and maybe I can fight for the win.

with just a shadow for a friend


Here we go, it's OEL Historic Endurance Touring Series. Well, it's not really endurance anymore; the races have been shortened from 2 hours to around 45 mins because of the small grid. Fine by me, because I've been having a tough time driving these classic cars. I've done thousands of laps across the different tracks on the schedule, and I still haven't found a good baseline setup. Consequently, I have been struggling with the motivation as well. I just don't feel connected to my car at all. Just dreading every corner, every braking point... not certain how the car will react or behave.
