Often GT class drivers will rent a SPB to race with us and they end up 4th-6th. The level of competition is really challenging.
Thanks, I was doing my best! And I assume that all of my competitors are doing the same. Starts are a great opportunity to make up a few positions and sometimes what looks like the perfect opportunity ultimately isn't so perfect. To grow as a driver, you have to try something new. We're all trying to improve our racecraft so I try to cut everyone a lot of slack and hope that they will cut me the same slack when the time comes. Racing is an incredibly humbling experience.

Yeah to me it looks like 318 came down on you and touched while you were constant with your direction, and at 3:30 when you went for the inside pass and got fully beside him? it looked like he came down and chopped you and you had to back out of the pass. Or did you have to slow due to holding the inside tighter line and not getting the full radius?
That looks intense!
