Tonight's race was on one of my favorite tracks, Spa-Francorchamps! Thanks @Davidjackson for the heads up.
I qualified P15, started from the pitlanes to avoid race start craziness and I finished the race P12.
Maybe it was the group of people that I raced with or maybe it is the track, but there were far less DNFs and incidents in this race. That's good.
My Safety Rank continues to increase. I'm almost into Silver.

Ooph tonight's racing was a real bust.
I finished my 10th race on https://lowfuelmotorsport.com expecting to be out of the Rookie class. But, I discovered that I needed 10 ranked races. LFM defines a ranked race as one with eight or more racers.
I only have one ranked race out of my ten because there is barely anyone racing in LFM, so I usually find races with between 3-5 racers. At this rate, there's no way I'll ever get out of Rookie. I'm giving up on doing much racing in LFM, I'll still swing by from time-to-time, but it's really demotivating to have no path out of Rookie.
I tried iRacing next, except that iRacing experienced "network errors" while I was trying to race on Monza and booted me. My network was fine for the LFM race and for the next race I did...
I went into Le Mans Ultimate and did a race in Bahrain. The race was super frustrating because LMU racers have no incentive to really drive safely because when someone hits another person, both people get penalized for the hit. It's unfair.
I got knocked out of position by someone behind me as I slowed for Turn 1 -- and then I got penalized along with that person.
All around not a good night of racing. The one bright spot was that the earlier race in LFM had five racers, I qualified P4 and ended up P3 on podium by the end of the race because two racers crashed out.
I am 97 hours into Automobilista 2, the screenshot shows my Favorites.

YES! HUGE NEWS! #TrackIR support is slated to come to #LeMansUltimate in the #ELMS update! That means that I will be able to use the head tracking features of my #Tobii 4C in the game! Will it help me spot Hypercars barreling up my tailpipe on the straight? Absoluetely not because they're too fast! But it's gonna be cool nonetheless. :carby:

I raced at the Interlagos Circuit tonight in my Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3. I played around with the free camera system afterwards and took some snapshots.

Well would you look at that, I came in fifth! Top 5 baby!
This race was crazy though, my computer decided to stop sending sound to my TV, so the start of the race I was trying to race without sound -- very hard since I couldn't hear the gears. There was a huge pile up at the start -- I didn't cause it, but was part of it. That's why my Safety Rate went down.
I took the time to get the sound going again, I had to visit the pits for repairs and then I just concentrated on finishing the race. I'm glad I did.

I signed up for iRacing today. I did 20 minutes of practice and then hopped into a ranked race to see what it was like.
It's not as crazy as I've seen on YouTube and it was a decent experience except for when someone divebombed and spun me out.
I'll race in iRacing along with Le Mans Ultimate for online racing. iRacing has a nice variety to online races. Le Mans Ultimate has better driving physics and feel.
Automobilista 2 will be my main game though. I like racing against the computer more and I really like Automobilista 2's driving physics and handling.

A five minute race at Spa-Francorchamps.
The number 10 car, whose bumper I staring at most of the race, was a right bastard. 😁 What he did at the end of lap 2 and also at the bus stop in lap 3 were meh. His Aston Martin definitely had more straight-line speed than my Lexus.
Still, I started P5 and finished P4 with no spinning out.

I tried my best to drive safely to increase my safety rating. It meant driving a little slower and also being anxious every time some other car gets close to me -- for human drivers are crazy unpredictable.
I qualified P15 and because of crazy human drivers crashing, spinning out and DNF'ing, I ended the race P15 even while driving slower. Nice.
I am proud that I did not spin out. Late in the race I did brush a wall briefly at La Source because I lost focus and was staring at the timing board. Heh.

This thumbnail is the best. I’m actually not the car being t-boned or t-boning. I’m the car behind the one getting t-boned trying to avoid the incident. My rear wing is showing.

A quick five minute race in Le Mans Ultimate at COTA in my Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3. It was an exciting race because of the AI.
The AI in Le Mans Ultimate is natural, makes minor mistakes and fun to race again -- they are challenging and I should up the difficulty for more challenge.
It was fun fighting through the crowd.

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.
