[Special Event] 2018 iRacing 24 Hours of Daytona

[Slider]

Here's a "Dead body" setup, wish very minor adjustments to reduce pogo over bumps and try to make the car behave little more consistently in most corners. Bus stop is really easy: I drop it in 4th, coast half way through, step on full power just before 3rd apex and fly out the other end. Overall, it's slower than the other setup, but it's on slightly understeery side and will last full stint. ARBs are in the middle and can be adjusted either way by the driver to their liking, same with BB which is adjusted for whoever has it most forward (I think Ken mentioned he's at 58%, so I put it there, but car will not spin even at 57 or maybe lower).

Ran this in an IMSA race last night and really liked it. Adjusted the ARBs to my liking and was running consistent high 38's

iRacing dropped another patch today;

Expect to update the sim the next time you log on. This patch was very quick, for me, so hopefully shouldn't be much of an issue.

Putting up a 6-hour hosted session that will go up at 18:02 GMT (13:02 EST / 10:02 PST). It is password-protected and holds 62 drivers, so everyone is welcome to come and go as they please.

Have you guys decided on who'll register each team? Maybe try to match closest iRatings to be in same split?

Matching iRatings aren't going to work when we're in different classes. Everyone in the DP team will register, the Ferrari team will be registered by Bedo and I in order to hopefully get DP's in our split (MAYBE we'll get lucky and catch the DP team?), and Noël is going to register the Merc team, as they're going for as high a split as possible.

Thanks Ken! #B2OEndurance #LakeHouse has been updated with that scheme!

If I could get a Merc driver and a DP driver together tomorrow afternoon for a photo op, that'd be great!

FWIW, I had #490000 - Chrome as the Wheel Hex Code on the HPD, so I've changed the rim color on the Ferrari. @Fromthenavy can you check your DP and see if it is the same Hex Code?

I should be around in the GMT evening somewhere.

There is no Mercedes team on iRacing yet, I still have to do it. Will be created within a few hours.

 

[Nejtun]

I am good to go for the next two hours or so if @Skid_Marc_ and @Noodleguitar are about? Wheels are right and paint is on!

 

[Kenadian]

Are there any objections to running the number 95 on the C7DP?

 

[Skid_Marc_]

Does anyone want another hosted session for PM GMT (17:00-21:00)? Or shall we just use public sessions? The servers will probably fill up quick tonight, so I'll definitely put up a hosted then.

 

[Nejtun]

@Duke use whichever number you want @Skid_Marc_ I won't make good use of it as I am busy this evening, thanks though, can't speak for anyone else of course.

 

[Kenadian]

@Nejtun the reason I pick 95 is it's my daughters Birthday and she's actually the reason we're all here.

Without her B2O would most likely not exist.

I may or may not be awake for the start. I've been catching myself falling asleep on the morning drives to work

Also, I don't think I'm in any of the endurance teams. Ken, I don't have any preference for the number.

 

[Jes_971]

95 is fine with me.

 

[Noodleguitar]

I've changed the wheel colour to something (hopefully) close to Pirelli yellow. Matte red was a little bit lipstick-like and chrome red might as well have been black.

Hope everyone has a great night tonight! Would love to see as many of you as possible in TS at least 30 minutes before the session opens (12:30 GMT-13:00 GMT)!
