Looking for a little sports car enduro action tonight? Catch some of your favorite drivers from IMSA, SCCA and NASCAR as well as top sim racers as they compete in the Roush Performance World Tour. This week’s action is a 2-hour contest at a digital Spa-Francorchamps in virtual Belgium, and you can catch all the action on the live broadcast at 8 p.m. Eastern at facebook.com/RoushPerformance.

Our own J.G. Pasterjak will be teaming up with sim racer Kyle Patee in one of the Ford GT GTE machines (in perhaps the race’s most alphabetically appropriate driver pairing). Series regulars include Joey Atterbury, Guy Cosmo, Robb Holland, Tyler McQuarrie and more.

Too bad it's not on Youtube or Twitch, then I'd watch it.

What happened after the black flag? Hopefully you guys were able to fight for positions and at least hsvd fun.

We got back out and made some laps and finished 17th. It was the first enduro for both of us so there were a few logistic/strategy things we didn't nail. Most of the top teams double-stinted either drivers or tires on one stop, meaning they had one ong stop and one real short stop. We were kind of out of it by our first stop anyway so we opted for full service on each stop. 

Looks like Kyle and I will team up again for net month at Suzuka. Kyle was fast, but a little wild. I was slower, but got into less drama. It was like a buddy cop movie. We should have a few of the logistical issues better in hand for next month, and a solid top-half finish is probably pretty realistic given our lap times if we can keep clean.

Well, hopefully things work out better at Suzuka. Please post a reminder for that race when it's closer. 
 

Strange that they had track limits off. Always strange things when real life drivers mix with esports types. Seems like they usually dumb down some of the rules since not everyone has a lot of time in the particular sim. Straight up esports racing is usually better to watch.
