John Prather è il fortunato pilota virtuale che, dopo aver ben figurato con la nuova Volkswagen Jetta di iRacing, ha avuto l'opportunità di disputare una intera gara reale in america a bordo della vettura vera nel campionato VW TDI Cup, sull'impegnativo tracciato di Road America. Ci racconta qui tutte le sue emozioni, per un arrivo al traguardo in 23° posizione, con un best lap a 7 secondi dal vincitore!
A lap or two later, I managed to get a good run into Canada Corner, and was ready to make the pass, when I look up and see a yellow waving, as one of the cars was sitting in the gravel. So, completing the pass would have been illegal, and I backed out. I then compounded it by making bonehead mistake number 2. For whatever reason, I was trying to be really safe and forgot it was just a local caution, and I started coasting out of Canada Corner and into 13. About the time I got to 13 I realized the guy in front of me had just pulled 4 seconds on me and what I had done. So, I got back on it and caught up to him pretty quickly again...
