Without a spotter? That's nuts! Honestly, of all endurance races, this one is where you need the spotter the most. Thanks for spotting me for two hours, the +/- system worked out great! I'm so happy that with all the setbacks we still ended up top 10!

No problem, I enjoyed it, the +/- worked out great, so that's what we'll do from now on, a little easier. That was such crazy traffic with all those cars. Just insane.

You know surprisingly it was not as bad as I thought. Reid had to leave and I didn't want to pull Marc or Nate away from their race, so I tried it and I was okay. I didn't even have the iRacing spotter either, but the traffic was not as insane as at the beginning when you were driving. There were less cars on the track. It would get really jammed up every couple of laps, but really, it was kind of cool trying to figure it all out.

Yeah, hoping to run the last one, would be great to see some weather variety, where's the fog, I loved the race in the fog last year!

The traffic came in blocks. The track is so hard to pass at that much faster drivers get bunched up behind much slower ones, lapped or otherwise, and get impatient trying to pass creating some really harry situations.

I had a minor panic near the end of my final double stint. I got sweat in both my eyes, inside of a VR headset, with no easy way to wipe it out...so my entire final lap poor Jes had to listen to me complain because I basically couldn't see. I was driving the course almost on muscle memory and the few blurry glimpses of the track I could see. I somehow brought it home without hitting anything. Lesson learned: I'm going to get a head bandana to wear during long stints to absorb sweat from my brow.

Nice job to all the teams. I watched a little bit on Marc's stream and that many cars is a lot for Road Atlanta multi-class. Too bad the engine blew up in the Ferrari team, iRacing should really have some documentation on how to look for those signs and allow you to repair it.
