RaceDepartment Indy 500 2012 (RDINDY'12) | Intro & Info​

​

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!

It just finished, an open session that had 24 drivers, 13 present for at least the last half hour! I got to see some awfully quick laps and a more slams into the wall than I expected. I put in over 200 laps and felt good, not fast, good!

I'll be doing this again, I'll post a note here ahead of time.

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

Don't forget to apply for licensed membership!

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

iRacers are hunting for track time. You'll see it in every open session you host, especially during American hours.

Thanks for pointing this out. It will probably be fixed once you are licensed member.

This won't do. Read the top post.

 

[Brad Sanford]

Thanks for pointing this out. It will probably be fixed once you are licensed member.

and generally, how long does it take to be a liscensed member ?? just curious

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

It can take a couple of days depending on whether one of the assigned staff members has scheduled some time to process unprocessed requests. You'll be ok before the race, though.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

More people should show up for these sessions. "Just" turning left is a lot more difficult than it seems, especially if all you're doing is downloading someones setup. It's amazing how often someone hits the wall when two cars get "close"! I'm off for a few days but will be back during the week with more sessions. Tell us what time YOU can be there for tracktime.

Right Bram, that wasa good session. I had 45 different people in my session afterwards, this is a lot more popular venue that I thought and glad I bought the track and car.
