Missed on a driver, I had to sign a “random bad driver” that came with a 65 overall score and a $2 million+ signing fee. To say that he sucks is being kind. Right now, out of 2902 qualified, I rank 2885. I assume those worse than me accidentally qualified on rain tires. My car was decimated in Pro last season. It will be a miracle if I can hang in Amateur.

did a round of testing. was very surprised at the result from last race. this race, on the surface, looks to be the same strategy – so that’s what i’m doing. 1 stopper, 25 CT, 25 Defend, boost at the front and hope for a finish 25th or better. i did another training in fitness and extended my driver’s contract.

another round of testing. i’d like to do three more. the CCP won’t last long on the car, but i’ve made significant strides on my driver. he’s gone from 0 to 44 on stamina in 8 training and 5 testing sessions.

hoping for a top 20 placement in this race. counting on points in the last couple of races of the season. or at least very good money if i can come in 9th or 10th.

this track suits my driver/car very well. goal is to make it past the first lap (no start accidents). the rain won’t help, but fortunately is supposed to be gone in the first 30 minutes (about 17 laps – max). counting on a mostly dry track. wet 30CT, dry 50CT. using three boosts and a 20% rain setup. if i don’t do well this race, i’ll use next race to boost driver’s motivation (Sports Psychologist) and then Spa for the final race as a last gasp at retention. i’ve been working this plan all season and hopeful to have it pay off here. all parts should last this race unless a random bites me.

moti dropped by 40, but driver is still at a 114 on OA. i’m abandoning the idea of keeping him and will use the same approach i did last season the rest of the way. low or no CT risk and will try to score points without the risk of going over. i will also try to test more than i did last season, but primarily to keep CCP, not to improve my driver. i will likely stop training altogether for the driver since i’ll be looking to abandon him later this season if i find a good driver to start training and improving.

driver is getting right where i want him and i’m hoping i can start lowering the CT and still pull in 5th place or better in each race. motivation has gone up significantly which is helping the results. next big concern is getting my sponsors in so i don’t run out of money. i’ll likely do another round of testing before the NEXT race. have climbed to third in group, but i’d like to get into 2nd or maybe even 1st (though i think that’s a stretch).
