Advanced Mazda @ Sonoma Raceway and Sim Lab PCC @ Oulton Park GP for me this week.
I've only tried the Mustang FR500S @ Oulton Park so far. It feels great with no changes to the setup from last week. It's a fast layout without any chicanes.

I did four or five races Week 8, Sim Lab PCC Mustang and Solstice plus two Advanced Mazda.
The most memorable one was Advanced Mazda @ Sonoma. I had a solid P3 going with a likely P4 worst probable finish but I calculated fuel based on a 25 minute race when it was actually 35. The smart solution would have been to stay out as long as possible but I found myself too distracted trying to calculate on the fly, had a couple of wheel offs because of it and was soon going to be challenged from behind so I pitted. If I truly added 3.8 liters, I would have crossed the finish line with 0.1 liter left without the splash and go and no other adjustments. With hindsight, I would have probably been better off staying out and short shifting until I was in the clear on fuel, certainly would have given up 1 or 2 positions but I probably could have managed to finish higher than I did. I lost maybe 18 iR instead of gaining about 50 so a 68 point swing. Clean race, though, which has been happening more often than not lately.
I ended the week A4.95 x 2398
