Hi guys,
I'm still new, but really enjoying the community so far. I took part in the Willow Springs event, enjoyed it immensely, but made a mistake in the second race that caused an accident. Lost the rear, crash. Confidence shot.
To try and figure out where/if I fit in, I tried to do the qualifying time for the LMP2 cars at Road America. I spent a lot of time, trying different lines, braking points, setups, and eventually set a 1:54.98. Reading the thread itself, and the responses to the qualifying time, makes it sound like it should be trivial.

My questions
- How long does it generally take you to get used to a car/track combo if you've never driven them before? It took me probably about 4 hours to get where I am now.
- With a time like that, taking into account its time trial and I'm quite close to the limit, would I fit in a race like that? For Willow Springs I felt quite okay before hand, but then finished P12 first race. Maybe, seeing as I'm new, its okay?
- How hard do you concentrate on driving, focusing on exactly hitting the apex, straightening at the right time, etc, and how much comes naturally?
