Only two races for week 6 as I struggle with mental and physical burn out from the content creation, Supercars racing, The Bathurst 1000 and real life work. Both races were at Road America in the Supercars Mustang but they could not have been under different circumstances.

The official this week saw the lights turned on on the Mustang as the server was set to sunset to make it pretty; however, the sun set way too quickly in the server, which had the field starting in the dark. On a track without lighting to show the way, the Mustang's headlights had to do all the heavy lifting. With server maintenance around the corner and the confusion around that time because of daylight savings, it was a race we didn't expect to make it to the end, which gave it a very laid-back feel till we realised the server wasn't going down and the race would be official.

Thursday then saw V8 Vets head to Road America with round 5 being a 250 km race. I had put in a lot of practice for this one and it all started coming together in the warm up before the race. After an issue in qualifying I started in an okay position but with a very early safety car I found myself near the front and a battle for the podium. With no more safety cars it became a race of high pace but no mistakes. After only a couple of mistakes and some issues with cars behind me, it was clear I was going to get the podium, but my ego had the last word and almost cost me all that effort.

Anyway, there will be no podcast next week at this stage, as I have had a week off to get my motivation back. Thank you, everyone, for your understanding and support, and I catch you on stream or in the next episode.
