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 […]
Circuit de Catalunya – Season 2 Race #7
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the race at Circuit de Catalunya. As I ran practice races, my finishes were very inconsistent. Often, I’d start back in the pack and maybe gain one or two spots, but in the next race, I’d pass a bunch of cars. I’d finish one race outside the top […]

Sebring International Raceway – Race #1

Labor Day Weekend at Sebring International Raceway
If you’ve never been to Sebring International Raceway, you might be surprised to learn that it sits in the middle of nowhere. The track started life as Hendricks Army Airfield, where military pilots trained in B-17s during World War II. Some of the concrete runways from the old airfield still make up the track. The […]
Racing at the Beach
The final two tracks I’ll visit this season are very special to me. I said previously that Road America is my favorite track, but Daytona and Sebring hold a very special place in my heart. I’ve raced at Daytona and Sebring more than at any other tracks. I’ve scored victories at both tracks, and I’ve […]
