We are currently experimenting with a new - though honored - league management system for iRacing. Please let us know if you experience any problems using the website by posting a description of the problem below.

Hey guys!
Hannes Thaler and me will open a practice server THIS evening on 17:00 GMT (6 hours), named "RDiLMS Practice" with the normal RD password of this league.
You ALL are invited to join and drive with us

cheers
Erik

Yoeri, little question: is auto blip also off? cause we set it on the server like in the info thread, but it works anyway..

thx

 

[Ronny Fantini]

is it allowed to use tow button during Qualy?
In a lot of leagues this is not allowed, so you have to be very carefull not to crash your car during qualy, when you crash you can hit tow button, but then qualy is over, or you drive carefully back to the pits, and there tow button can be pushed to repair car.I find this much more realistic.

I believe the clutch is free for you to set as you like.

I haven't really given this a thought. I like the superpole kind of idea, but for now the setting allows you to tow all you like as long as you do not bring it out on track outside your class' ten minutes of fame.

 

[Ronny Fantini]

yeah superpole i dont like so much in endurance races, because you dont have to deal with other drivers, because you are alone on the track

 

[Caramidaru Andrei Bogdan]

weel..first let me apoligize for maybe the newb questions
1.it seems the prototipe car is fully booked,as i was feeling confortable with that, witch should i choose from Vette or Ford?for a new driver in iracing..i tried them both and it seems that Vette is to much of a beast with default setup...also ford is a beast but more manageble...so?
2.i try to search internet for a good g27 iracing setup,did not find anything that suited me.usuly i use 270 degrees on all cars..but it seem i need to get used to more
3.also i think i am looking for a team mate:d for SRH Xeno Motorosport

1. The default sets for the GT cars are really rubbish so it's hard to judge the car just by the default setup. Choose the car that suits you the most.

2. Set the steering wheel to 900 degrees in windows and iRacing when playing iRacing. That is the best degree setting for iRacing.

 

[Caramidaru Andrei Bogdan]

900...wow..i was tryin 540 in windows..and i have to turn the wheel allot
also some cockpit view changes?

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Guys you can sign me out of this league. My heart lies with another simrace game. It does not feel right for me iracing atm.

 

[Niel Hekkens]

900...wow..i was tryin 540 in windows..and i have to turn the wheel allot
also some cockpit view changes?

iRacing automatically adjusts the rotation. You never have to rotate a lot, but it will me a lot more precise.
When you have set your rotation to 900 in Windows, recalibrate the wheel in iRacing and make sure it will be set on 900 degrees too. Then you're good to go.

There is only one view and that is the cockpit view

 

[Caramidaru Andrei Bogdan]

i know that..but field of view and fov and seat position..all that stuff.i did the iracing view calculator and it put me to 45degrees i cant see on the sides at all,i can barly see the speedo.....
Bjorn u traitor!

@Bjorn de Haas

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

The calculator doesn't work for me either. I just keep the FOV to the default 72 and I'm fine with that.

 

[Niel Hekkens]

I've set the FOV around 60. That way you can see better when the car is snapping. You have to get used to it, but it really helps. Especially on the oval side.

I've driven 62 for a while. The car feels more controllable, as you point out, but it also reduced the sensation of speed. I don't like that.

 

[Eric Estes]

I've used 540 for the last year or so and it works nicely for me. The FOV calc doesn't work well for me either, I think I use 65 degrees currently, though anything between 60 & 80 seems to work ok, I actually do base it on being able to see the in-car instruments .

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Haha mr. c well thats how i feel about it mate. On the moment im enjoying other race sims. How are you? Fully recovered?

 

[Linus Broström]

i just did my first few laps in the Corvette, around Sebring with a @Yoeri Gijsen setup i found . i love the car and i some how found it much easier to drive then when i first started racing the Mazda MX5. Can't wait for the first race, gonna be a blast!

one question though... on rolling start, is it formation lap like on the ovals, or is it diffrent?
thanks

 

[Jordi Casademunt]

I'm afraid I have to withdraw my sign up for this league. I didn't notice I'll be busy pretty much every weekend this summer.

My apologies, I wish good luck and a fun league to all the participants.

 

[Martin Blais]

If it's still ok with Yoeri, I'll put up a host server next Saturday (July 7th) in order to get some practicing and see how this group chime together (especially in traffic).

Event settings

• Track: Sebring international daylight
• Open practice: 17:00 GMT (90 minutes)
• Qualification: 18:30 GMT (we gonna try to simulate the series Q format which go this way: 10mins LMP - 10mins GT1 - 10mins GT2.)
• Race: 19:00 GMT (1 hour only for this session as official races will be 2 hours)
• Server farm: NL-Ams
• Starting type: rolling
• Fast tows: 1
• Cautions: full course cautions off
• Restarts: -
• Racers/server: 42
• Hardcore level: Disable all driving aids (but clutch assist ok)
• Password: To be decided.

Qualification

The qualifcation session has a lenght of 30 minutes in which each of the classes has the track for itself for 10 minutes, while staying in the pits during the other 20 minutes. Once the 10-minute mark is reached the drivers may complete their current lap and are to return to the pit right after (by tow or driving) without obstructing the class that starts qualification.

I would gladly appreciate that those who are looking to participate could confirm it here in this topic. See you on track!
