[Aritan Maia]

still need to get used to that monster!!!! I drove much more the vette today, but the Indy seems equaly AWESOME!!! A MONSTER!!!! That engine, almost 400 km/h... INSANE!!!!

Not up for it yet, but if you need people to join, I'll be glad to help. :wink2:

 

[Aritan Maia]

Just did a race with Sander... Great think this Vette, man... Great fun and awesome to drive...

 

[Ingemar Petersson]

Just made 2 on Indy , had the lead but missed the fuel had to pit when 9 laps to go , these Dallara is so so so great to drive there

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

Corvette is great, startin from the back I had a rocket start and was in the top 10 after 1 lap, but then someone in front spun in T1 and I couldn't avoid.

 

[Aritan Maia]

Good to meet you there, Sander... :wink2: This week is a little messed, with all the fun and easy going behavior, but I hope next week we're gonna have better races and even more fun, right!?!?

 

[Aritan Maia]

I must assume I dont know how to drive the oval... Not only the Stock cars, but every car! I SUCK BIG TIME! People are doing low/mid 40s over indy and I cant even get into the 40s...

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

Same here Aritan :wink2:

I have no clue how to setup the car for ovals, usually I stick with the defaults.

 

[Bruce Saltzman]

I haven't seen anyone get into the 40's without a draft. Most of these guys are running hotlaps anyway. If you're practicing properly, you're running in race trim with the required load of fuel, which for the Indy 100 is a full tank (22 gal) with one pit stop required for an additional 5 or 6 gals during the race.

I've got a good race setup and running in full race trim with full tank, I've gotten 41.7-8s with no draft. There are plenty of guys faster, but that's not a bad pace for a solo run not in qual trim.

 

[Aritan Maia]

Thx for the encouragement, Bruce!!! I got 41.5 without draft, so I think I'm not that bad... I entered a practice session and the fastest guys were on the 40s, but I dont know how they did it.

I'm gonna practice a little more and try a race to see what I can get... :wink2:

How do you feel about a race, Sander??? :smile-big: Let's try it, shall we?

Corvette C6R - Mosport

This is the set up im using for Mosport. Based of a setup shared during a practice session that is allegedly capable of a 1.13.
Although now ive had me hands on its probably sucks, I know jack about setups.

Any comments, suggestions on how to improve it would be appreciated. Or even just post a better one

cheers
Ricky

Ill join some oval races. Cant get off this sim at the min!

 

[Willem Fischer]

I'll buy the Dallara and Indy track now... Is there still interest with them being organized by iRacing at the moment?

Edit: my iRacing installation is broken, so I can't race now.

Edit2: iRacing works again but it seems they still have major problems with their servers

 

[Bruce Saltzman]

I would be interested in RD events as well.
Just I don't like oval racing

Do license requirements come into effect at hosted iRacing?

Only if the host invokes requirements. If you host a race, you call the shots. What car, what track, what time, license requirements or not, SR and iRating on or off, yellows on or off, number of cars on grid (limited by available pit stalls I think), etc.

I think the only thing they're still working out is to enable multiple class cars on the same track. They've got it handled in the regular iRacing series, just not hosted yet.

Bram is going to subscribe :cowboy:

He's already a member.

Thx for the encouragement, Bruce!!! I got 41.5 without draft, so I think I'm not that bad... I entered a practice session and the fastest guys were on the 40s, but I dont know how they did it...

Excellent time bud. Now I have to get on track and practice to see if I can beat ya. You had a full fuel load (22 gal) when you did that?

Like I said, the 40s guys are drafting. However I did come across one guy who did a qualy lap at 41 flat. That probably means someone will or has done a 40.9 or so but low to mid 40's solo, I'd have to see a replay of that one.

 

[Kevin Ascher]

Thought he didn't have it atm?

 

[Gareth Hickling]

My new three screens arrive tuesday, I cant wait!

Uber wide gaming here I come!

I will be using softTH at first but if I have to I will be getting the matrox unit so I can keep my 275's in SLI.

As tony the tiger would say, "It's GRRRRRREAT!"

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

Here's mine, PB is a 1:13.074 so far.

 

[Ricky Willox]

Ive been reduced to single screen gaming again and it sucks. PSU died and the cheap one i got wont run the 8800GTX and all the rest of the crap at once. Wont be back to triple screen goodness until my PSU get RMAed from BFG.

Eventually looking to get another 2 24 inch monitors and an ATI 5870 (or two when crossfire is supported).

Apart from the CST pedals. Three screens is the best thing ive done for racing. Just looks and feels so much better. Prolly be especially handy on the ovals as theres usually cars all around you.

Multi screen gaming is the way forward
