The race at Circuit de Prague was much better and more exciting than I anticipated. I had a chance to win the race, but in the end, due to issues mostly of my own making, I finished third. There’s a term in racing called “red mist.” It can be defined as losing focus and getting […]

Prague: It’s Only Make Believe
After a brief break, the series heads to Circuit de Prague in the Czech Republic. The track is the brainchild of the folks at Studio 10, creators of Forza Motorsports 7. It is a make-believe track that snakes through the streets of the Czech capitol. Here’s what Forza has to say about Circuit de […]
Bernese Alps Circuit – Season 2: Race #10
There’s not much to say about this race. It started out bad (I qualified 20th on the grid), then got worse. In ten laps, I wrecked three times, had to pit three times, and finished in 24th position, a lap down. Worst. Race. Ever. The majority of the blame goes to me. I simply didn’t […]
My Beef with Forza Motorsports 7
I have spent much more time than I am comfortable with complaining about the shortcomings of Forza Motorsports 7. I try not to allow my race reports to turn into a bitch session, but that has happened a few times. Rather than allow that to happen again in the future, I’ve decided to devote an […]
Hockenheimring – Season 2 Race #8
They say that success is the best revenge. After finishing dead last at Sebring in my last race, I qualified 2nd at Hockenheim this week and brought home the victory. The Lambo of Yohan Krill and I went back and forth a few times exchanging the lead, but in the end, I secured the win. […]
Mending My Angry, Broken Heart in Germany
I’m still not over the disappointment and anger from Sebring, but it’s time to move on anyway. We’re heading back to points racings, this time in Germany at Hockenheimring. I have to confess to knowing next to nothing about Hockenheimring before doing a couple practice races earlier this week. In my limited experience on the […]
Sebring International Raceway – Season 2: Special Event
Let’s start with the basics. I started 20th and finished 24th. But that only begins to tell the story. At the start, I was hit from behind and knocked off the track, dropping me to 24th. I fought my way back and got as high as 18th, but, while passing the 17th place Porsche on […]
Changing Things Up at Sebring
We’re going to Sebring for a 90-minute race. Unfortunately, Forza Motorsports 7 doesn’t do timed races very well. They end at the 90-minute mark (or however long the race is) rather than at the finish line. It doesn’t matter where on the track you are at the 90-minute mark. When the race is over, it’s […]
A Two’fer at Brands Hatch
This week, we’re heading to England for a double-sprint weekend at Brands Hatch. I first became familiar with Brands Hatch back in the 1990s watching delayed broadcasts of British Touring Car races. I even bought VHS tapes of the races and highlights of past seasons. I loved that series. It was the most exciting racing […]
Suzuka Circuit (Season 2 Race#3)
Let’s start with the positive first. I started the race in 6th position and gained a spot on lap one when a car ahead of me went off course. After that, I drove around in 5th place the rest of the race. No one passed me and I didn’t pass anyone. I finished in 5th […]
