B2O iRacing 24 Hours of Le Mans 2017

[Kenadian]

Thank you but I cant edit my team paint,not B2O team?Maybe when I join server it will auto load that paint?

Team paints are not uploaded at this time.

I'll be taking care of that when I get home tonight.

 

[SavreticD]

Ok np,tnx Ken

 

[Kenadian]

Now that both liveries are published on Trading Paints, can you please all inspect them closely and report any bugs you see?

I've not had a chance for close inspection on either livery so your input will help immensely.

Just remember that Social Media Icons and Drivers Names are yet to come and will be published when I get home from work later in the day.

I'm looking mostly for inconsistencies in striping, alignment, missed effects, improper layering/layering order, etc.

 

[Sam Roselaar]

noels last set is more stable while the pace remains about the same i vote that for team 1

So I'm just going to apologize now for the chaos that I created in the "B2O-2 GTE #095 Schedule", but look it over and let me know what you think.

@Deb I have your last stint starting ~11:30ish EDT, though you're availability technically doesn't start until 12:00 EDT, so let me know if that is going to be a problem or not.

@Duke I'm just going to say sorry now. I know it's crummy, but I couldn't think of a better way to do it. On the plus side, you did great at Daytona in the early hours, so not only do I believe in you, but there is nobody else, in this community, I'd rather have in the a for 7 stints than you, buddy!

Did you mean "have in the ass"?

 

[Kenadian]

omg @Zac_Sonic you are the absolute worst, wtf?

What the h3ll are you thinking lol?

Is there anyone on my Team willing to take over stint #14 so I can sleep through that entire block?

I know I'm not getting a lot of sleep tonight and last night was skinning 'til 1 AM so I need as much as I can get throughout the day tomorrow.

...and please don't feel pressured to do it. If nobody can comfortably run that spot I'll just suck it up.

 

[Jes_971]

@Zac_Sonic Schedule looks good on my end. Thank you!!

@Duke if it comes down to it I'll gladly take it. It's more of a "if no one else wants it" kind of thing.

 

[Skid_Marc_]

It's fixed, Ken.

 

[Philip Wyatt]

Where do I find the schedule for the Ferrari?

 

[Kenadian]

Thanks for taking the stint @Jes_971 and updating ithe schedule @Zac_Sonic

I just know I'm going to be wrecked, I'm already wrecked lol.

I'm desperately trying to get off work early today but it's not going well so it may not be possible.

 

[Bedo]

To be honest, this is the highest stress level I've ever encountered leading up to an event like this.

I've felt it and I know some of you have felt it.

I just want to say for the record that you all have handled it with extreme professionalism and unparalleled grace. We've always had a "different" Team dynamic but this time around SUPPORT is what I've seen most even in this difficult time.

It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege turning laps with you all and as bumpy as the road has been to this point, I look forward to the next and the next and the next.

It may say "Band of Others" on the paints but that is a name only. It is each and every one of you who breath life into the name as without you there would be no B2O.

Thank you all for being a part of something truly great, the memories past and the memories yet to come.

Yours very respectfully,

Ken

Change the name to Band of Brothers ...and sisters. Great job Ken! It's what makes this pretend race so real!

 

[Bedo]

I forgot to mention; A full fuel tank takes around 33-34 seconds, so it's fairly safe to do a driver swap at any time.

Does the tire change happen in parallel, or before, or after fuel is complete, and how long does it take? If it's in parallel, is there any point in double stinting?

 

[Skid_Marc_]

Tires and Fuel are always taken separately, @Bedo. That is why you don't take tyres in IMSA, ProtoGT, or Blancpain. If your team had more consecutive stints, then I would highly recommend saving 34 seconds every chance you get, but since your team is doing driver changes almost every stint, there really isn't a point in not double stinting. Right now, I have Ken as the only driver not taking tyres for his second stint, and only because he's already done it and is comfortable doing it.

I obviously haven't driven the GTE cars yet, but it has been our experience in the past that tyres have very little impact over double stints. The HPD, for example, runs the exact same lap times from the first stint to the second stint, with fuel making more of a difference in lap times.

This information runs our mentality for most of these races, but that doesn't mean it is always right. It'll be your call whether you want to double stint or not.

Zac, this looks fine to me, thanks for pulling this together Like I said, I can be pretty flexible tomorrow, so if we need to switch around or need to help Ken out, I'm around.

Oops, that is 11:30ish GMT, so 6:30a CDT for you...

 

[John Navara]

@Zac_Sonic Schedule looks good.

To @ALL. Thanks for including me in the group. I look forward to the event this weekend. A little nervous but I'll get over it. Once the gas pedal is pushed I'll be fine.

Guys why I cant try to qualy?I cant chose B2O team,its not there

 

[Sam Roselaar]

qualifying is bound to your name and not to the team your doing it with so just select any team. you're only qualifying as backup in case Noël can't register us.

and @Noodleguitar i just did another double stint and this time i have shocking news, i can only do 14 laps. i'd pit in with 5L left. you said you could do 15 right??

 

[SavreticD]

Are sure about qualy,I dont think its like that??Same as you,14 laps,that is with outlap and 5.5L left in tank
