Introduction

Welcome to the the second running of the RaceDepartment Indy 500 in iRacing. Last season saw a huge turn-out of drivers that gathered to pick up the virtual bottle of milk. Lots of crashes painted the picture of the first half of the race; close fighting dominated the second half. This year we're looking to go bigger and better than last year, so go get that FREE RaceDepartment Licensed Membership and sign-up for this annual high-speed thrill!

I'm talking to the people who run in my league, and am trying to move our race, so that it doesn't clash with yours...

Just seems stupid to me to have competition in the IndyCar, and this race is kinda bigger (Though I was there first ;))...

P.S You getting the race broadcasted? I can have a chat with Glacier if you want...
 
I haven't found one yet, going to start working on one once I get my Lotus setup for next week sorted. My assumption is that Ryan made most of the fixed setups, so I don't expect anything forthcoming from him - I don't know if there were any changes to the models after he made it or what.

No plans as of now. Our contact is usually with SimRace.TV who provide excellent broadcasting, but I'm a bit hesitant as RD and iRacing aren't quite well accustomed yet. I'm not overly confident to put it all on broadcast just yet, but I'm going to discuss this with staff.

PS: Don't forget about your licensed membership. It usually takes a couple of days to get it through procedure as it's manual.
 
Hey guys :)
if u believe it or not, this will be my first oval race EVER. But dont panic, i wont smash somebody out of the race, its more the fun of such an endurence race :) So my question is simple: if somebody wants to team up to share setups and practice together not only in the official test session, pls let me know, i will appreciate it :)
