B2O iRacing 24 Hours of Daytona Team Discussion

Where can I grab the latest set to practice with?

 

[dkracer]

Where can I grab the latest set to practice with?

I've attached it here, it's not completely the latest version but I have not had the chance to change it yet. If you want the latest changes, set the springs to set 3 and the wing to 0, then adjust the ride height to be 82.5 - 85.0 mm. I'll update that tonight.

Trying to compile an actual list of drivers in one place here. If I missed anyone, or put you on the wrong team lmk, but going through the forum and here is how I understand the teams so far..

B2O:
Noel Luneburg (Sans Umlauts #rekt)
Jes Colman
Ken Lindberg
Nejtun Cameron (Hours 1-7) \\
Patrick Morrow (Hours 7-24) ====== Technically these two count as one
Marc Gammack

B2O/Fusion:
Bedo Magardichian
Jay Stone
Debra Bennett
James Rivett
Tom Cabral
David Krikorian

Nobody has responded directly to @Sam Roselaar, as far as I know, but if we're going for 6 on each team, there is room for him and @dkracer, as both teams only have 5 drivers right now (with Nejtun and Pancake COMBINING for 24 available hours).

Good job Zac.

I was gonna compile this list today but you just saved me the work

 

[Bedo]

Thanks Zac. Ill add the names to the driving schedule builder. Can you also let me know the time zones of each driver? This way the sheet can calculate the correct local time for everyone.

Heres a preview of how I'll be winning us the race

Nice!!!! But it would be more effective if you punted them all on the way out

Let me see if I can add you back to the Fusion Community, but it may require a restocking fee

Oh, Reid told me he is not able to drive this race

Good job Zac.

Hehe, me too. I did make a schedule for the two teams:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xw2YezoY_8lpZYM--z3_FmOTlMGpQuI3-bWFccATUBQ/edit?usp=sharing

Let me know if something is wrong here. I've taken the 25 stints from the fuel chart, which assumes a little fuel saving in some stints. I've scheduled myself for 2 of these 3 stints on team A because I heard some issues from people in the past about fuel saving. On team B I wasn't sure who would be comfortable doing 33 laps so you guys have to be the judge of that.

I'm assuming the qualifier starts the race but it doesn't have to be this way. If you're not signed up when the race starts and you have the fastest qualifying time on the team it won't count. Again, team B will have to figure out who's qualifying and starting the race.

What split is team B going for? Do you have anyone with enough iRating to make it into our split you think? Team A is aiming for split 2, with around 4600 iRating. It would be awesome if we could get into the same split.

Everyone on team A should be in team "B2O Endurance" or invited. Ignore the invites for "Band of Others Racing" because I realized Kyle owns that team and we can't upload paints without him. Duke, I'll leave it to you probably to create an iRacing team for team B so that you can upload paints to both teams in TP.

Important!: When the session registration opens, DON'T register or we'll likely end up in a lower split. When the warm-up actually starts, everybody can register without affecting this.

For team B, it's wise to decide upon a car number and team name/suffix sometime soon.

Attached is the latest setup, wing 0, spring set 3.

Schedule looks good to me Noel, good job as always!

 

[Deb]

I just took Noel's set and moved the wing to 1 and ARD to 2 and amazing results!!! Oh, this is driving by myself so no draft

 

[Deb]

Schedule looks fine to me. Thanks Noel!

 

[Skid_Marc_]

I'm willing to take a fuel saving stint. Did an IMSA race on Thursday and pitted on lap 32 with two laps of fuel left, so I know I can do it with a little bit of traffic..

 

[Kenadian]

Changed the Window to Black AMG on White background because, you know, because of Marc

Nice! We can have two different setups because we have two teams. I think our team is mostly content with wing 0 and ARB 1, but I haven't tried that change yet so who knows.

Halp...

 

[Jay]

Any word on tyre strategy, just gonna be changing every stop, or is their potential to save time by going easy on the tyres?

I tried it , it was nasty after about 10 minutes into the second stint. you need to lose less than a second a lap for it to be worth it which was close but you also need the car to not kill you on two hour old tyres.

Not worth the time possibly saved or the risk.

 

[Rusty Monk]

It's usually the case with tyre changes on races that allow a full tank of fuel. Ends up not being worth it by the end of the 2nd stint. Only reason to not change tyres in those sort of cases will be if iracing ever bring in a restriction on the amount of sets of tyres you're allowed.

What's the fastest time you've managed on this set Noel?
