From the update notes:

" Your car will not be allowed to leave its pitstall if the pit crew are not able to repair your car enough to pass black flaggable levels of damage. Your pit crew will tell you that they can’t fix your car. If you have a fast-tow available, you may exit your car and re-enter to get a fresh car and continue the race."

Since we have unlimited fast tows, you can get a new car. The time penalty will cost you 2-3 laps, however.

Guys, I found the hard way in Oval racing when pitting. The right side of the pit area(Tarmac grey part), cars collide with another. Its not like Road tracks where its ghosting in the pits.

The only part that cars are ghost in the pits in Oval racing is the pit box area stretch. I hope I am wrong but I did slam the car ahead when pitting at Indy.

Abdul, you should be running with the pit limiter on so should not hit another car, and if i remember rightly you have the pit box lane and then 2 other lanes in the pits, i normally stay in the outside (right lane) so i can actually see my pit box and then move over when i am 2 or 3 pit boxes away from my own pit box.

It's Race Day!!

Please take a few moments and look on the first post of this race thread, as we are using RDiR preferred driver numbers for this event and you have set your number correctly before entering the race server.

Also if you haven't downloaded the RDiR Indy 500 skinpack here's the link: www.catalinasgrace.com/mystuff/rd/RDiR_Indy_500_skinpackV2.rar
Place TGA files in My Documents/iRacing/paint/cars/dallara.

I always use pit limiter. What I meant to point out was during the race when multiple cars pit at the same time. Its vital to stay on the outer lane(right lane) until closer to your pitbox to dive in as you mentioned. Otherwise if you are in the middle part of the track and the car infront dives in the pitbox you are sure to hit that car and destroy each others race.

[Todd Garner]

Hey ya I might do that! Thanks guys!

 

[Bob Luneski]

Once you crash your car and damage your suspension the pitcrew wont allow any repairs. Is there a work around or does this really mean that our race will be over?

If so then please let God help us all

Press ESC and you'll be given a "Fast Tow", you'll loose a lap or two, but you get a brand new car.
