I’ve never been to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Grand Prix circuit. The last time I was at Indy, the Grand Prix course didn’t even exist. So, to make up for my lack of real life experience at the track, I did a lot of practice laps in preparation for my two races there.
I qualified 13th in race one. Like most Forza 7 races, things stacked up in turn one, and I was able to move up a few spots. I was surprised that the field (at least me) got through turn one without any major collisions. Going through turn three, I got into the back of another car, but nothing major, and the the rest of the race was fairly clean.
This is something I’ve been working on. The way Forza Motorsports 7 works, it rewards aggressive driving, encouraging car-to-car contact. I’m trying to avoid that while also being competitive in the races. I consider today’s race a success. I finished fourth and kept the contact to a minimum. I’ll take it.
After 15 races, the points standings are:
- Lou Mindar (173 pts)
- Josh Pettibone (95 pts)
- Richard Chan (87 pts)
- Tak Yamaguchi (86 pts)
- Hugh Navarro (85 pts)
