Tonight's race was in Argentina! The Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo is quite a fun track. I drove my BMW M4 GT4 for this race.

The race started off pretty good! I worked my way up to P8 and then I spun out in Lap 8. It all went downhill from there with a couple of more spins, two track limit warnings and a couple of track re-entries that I'm not proud of.

At one point I was dead last, but eventually by the 25th and final lap, I had worked my way back up to P34.

I finished the race after the first spinout so that I could get more practice. And because I'm a stubborn dude who was determined to finish the 25 laps.

I just did a bunch of laps using SteamLink and my Quest 3 in both Automobilista 2 and Le Man Ultimate. Crazy intense, especially when in a crowd of cars. The situational awareness that VR offers while racing is astounding.

It's rather warm today, so strapping a big heavy piece of electronic gear to my face is not the most pleasant thing.

Still what a rush.

Karting in Automobilista 2 is rather awesome fun!

Today's race had all sorts of shenanigans, mostly unintentional. False start, spins, crashes, unsafe re-entries...this race had it all.

I did a full race weekend with a five minute practice and a ten minute qualifying.

I qualified on pole, but I'm like Lando Norris. Heh.

Two minutes left in my 20 minute race on Brands Hatch and… I ran out of gas. I forgot to adjust before starting the race. 🥺😭

AI acting like jerks on the track.

I had signed up for a race on Le Man Circuit Bugatti on LFM. While waiting, I setup a 20 minute race with AI to practice on the track.

I ended up having so much fun that I unregistered myself from the LFM race. Plus, there were only three people signed up for the race and that's too small of a group to be fun.

Le Man Circuit Bugatti is a joy to race on. It has a lot of turns, but also some nice long segments to get lots of speed. The straightaway where the race starts goes into a slight right-hand turn that is a bit exhilirating.

I am really liking this BMW M4 GT4, it's really fun to drive and handles well.

I raced as clean as I could, there was an situation where an AI driver decided to swerve in front of me and I avoided it. But, there was also an incident in which an AI driver brake checked me and that was not nice.

This was a really fun race.

Tonight's race was with a new car (BMW M4 GT4) on my favorite track (Laguna Seca).

I mostly kept it consistent on each lap, I drove as cleanly as I could and I did not spin out.

In the last few laps, my pace dropped because I was afraid of spinning out or losing it into a wall. The pack caught up with me, but I had enough buffer.

I used a Steam gift card that my kids gave me for my birthday to help buy Le Mans Ultimate. I practiced for a bit and then tried an online race which was super hard. LMU is an intense game. My son tried an offline 10-minute race and he agrees.

After that, I did a 10-minute race in Automobilista 2 with 47 other AI racers. I started in the back of the pack and got all the way up into the teens before making a few mistakes and ending up in the back of the pack again. I eventually worked my way back to P28.

I tried to race as cleanly as possible, but accidents happen.

And then Mookie discovered the Photo Mode in Automobilista 2.

Tonight:

One LFM race in Automobilista 2, I got on podium... But, there were only three racers including me. Ha. But, I guess a podium is a podium.

Then a race in Automobilista 2 with my son and AI. Him on his gaming rig with a Moza setup. Me on my gaming rig with my Moza setup. We raced on Laguna Seca in GT3's with 30 other AI racers. It was a crazy fun race.

I've become a huge fan of Automobilista 2. It's a fun sim racing game. The AI provides a lot of challenge and makes natural mistakes. There are so many cars and tracks to pick from -- not just current cars and tracks, but historic ones too.

I discovered that this site https://lowfuelmotosports.com supports Automobilista 2 with competitive racing with ranks and safety ratings.

What makes LFM interesting is that it does it for free, which I appreciate because as a casual racer, don't have the time to sink into something like iRacing which is a $13/mo subscription.

I did my first race weekend with LFW today. It was a sprint race and I qualified dead last. 😅

I went on to finish 19th out of 24. So not dead last and I am happy with that. Racing with real humans is so different than racing game AI. Humans are so unpredictable and make some hilarious mistakes -- and also take some dirty tactics.

It was a fun and exciting race.

Here are the race results:
