A Rainy Spa Day | iRacing Porsche Cup 992.2 at Spa

Another round in the iRacing Porsche Cup 992.2, this time at Spa-Francorchamps, and this one really highlighted just how much things have changed this season. I am still very much in the process of adjusting to the new car, and participation has absolutely exploded. Miami was busy, but Spa took it to another level. There were nine splits for this time slot, and that’s for a race that had a real chance of rain. Last season, this same slot probably would have only had two splits. Despite that, I still found myself in the top split for this race. During busier times of day I probably would not be, and with my rating slowly slipping each race, I may not be for much longer. I would like to avoid that if I can, but if it happens, it happens. That is just part of the process when you are learning a new car against a very competitive field. Conditions added another layer of difficulty. I am not particularly strong in the rain, and while it was not actively raining at the start, the track was still very wet. Heading up Eau Rouge in those conditions is always a bit nerve-wracking. I am still not sure whether the ABS and traction control in the 992.2 really offset my lack of familiarity with the car when grip is limited. I was the number 15 car in this race and managed to qualify 15th, which is probably my best qualifying result relative to my car number so far this season. I got a good launch and did a decent job staying out of trouble through most of the opening lap. Unfortunately, when we reached Courbe Paul Frère, there was an incident ahead of me. I tried to avoid the aftermath, but there was nowhere to go, and I ended up getting caught up in it. That sent me tumbling back through the field. From there, the race became about recovery. Could I claw back positions despite the wet track, the unfamiliar car, and the strength of the field? Or would Spa and the 992.2 make this another tough lesson?
