[Special Event] 2018 iRacing Le Mans 24h

@Noodleguitar

Early one for HPD. should be averageishkinda for us
46 seconds pitstop
tyres changed separately
1.63 litres per minute
5.92 litres per Lap
Fuel buddy reckons 14 laps per stint
Highest usage was used for this run, empty track default starting conditions morning, no draft
3:35 ish laps times, I think the usage may change approaching the race as I think we will go faster than this with more practice.
CSV attached

Saved it in Litres, wasn't sure if your fuel thingy did Kilos or not?

I don't think I'll be able to do the 7:00 GMT slots, unless just do a few stints. That is a really awkward time for me.

 

[Skid_Marc_]

Right, I get it now. I typo'd it in Google sheets as 7:00pm, and that took me down the wrong path of 19:00. My bad. I'll adjust the schedule again accordingly.

*and again, and again, and fucking again because... iRacing...*

@Skid_Marc_ these are really well done, great work as always!

Hey! @Kenadian added .csv support to the forums! Nice one, man!

It's really awkward we both complimented each other at the same time.. this is as weird as a naked locker room hug... I'm uncomfortable...

 

[Skid_Marc_]

Okay, SO! I appreciate @Nejtun @Kenadian @Brainling and @Slider for jumping on the availability chart... but it's all fucked up now, and your times are wrong, and that's my bad, but the chart should be right now, so @everyone can fill in their availability and it should be right...

...until the next time it's proven wrong!

Hi All,

We have decided to make changes to this event based on feedback from the community. I would like to note, however, that the original start times were posted back in April in a sticky post by Doug.

Here are the new details for the race:

Week of August 14th
Start Times:
Race #1 - 08/18 01:00 GMT
Race #2 – 08/18 13:00 GMT

Lone Qualifying
30 Minute Warmup
Default Weather
Time of Day – Morning
100 Incident Limit

We can't take the race out of the series and make it a separate event at this point, but this covers the key changes that were being requested.

 

[Kenadian]

Will do.

Support's been there for a while but I think I messed up on max filesize so the forums would keep rejecting the upload.

100 Incident Limit

Ooooooh...... that might be interesting...

Translates to a little bit more than 4x per hour.

I dont think so,it will be ok.Not many places to get INC. Check last year 24h race
In our split only 1 team had 104,all others well under 100

Yeah, incident caps are kind of dumb, but this isn't really a track that should be affected by it, much. Most places you'll get a slow-down, but slow-downs don't directly count as X's. There are exceptions, obviously, but its not going to be like Spa with teams racking up 1000's of offtracks.

@Bedo @Deb
You guys want to team up in the ferrari again?
Maybe we can make the fuel saving work this time

 

[Nejtun]

Now that we have regular start times I would like to put myself in for our normal slot of 13:00 GMT start ( 2nd Slot )

 

[Slider]

I've checked and corrected my availability. I know I've stated different things about what I'd drive for Le Mans, but as mentioned earlier in this thread: 919 first, HPD 2nd, GTE 3rd. I've posted Ford and Ferrari setups and I've only driven handful of laps in 911, but it felt really good, so I don't see much trouble in adjusting if I end up in it.

100 incidents per team will be interesting. There's only 2-3 places where you really have to try to get them, so car contacts will be the worst ones.

 

[Nejtun]

I don't think 100 incidents is really tight for Le Mans, last year we had our fair share of bumps and bangs, even some repairs and got 38 incs between us and still finished 5th.

 

[Brainling]

Redoing my availability...that was correct, and then not correct, and then correct again.

 

[Nejtun]

Early practice session going up tonight at 21:00 GMT ( 22:00 uk , 23:00 Europe ,17:00 eastern?) it will be up for 4 hours, please feel free to jump in when you can, first 3 hours are just before practice pals with the last hour overlapping the start of practice pals so you can do whichever you wish, or both !!

Password is 'sheep' (all lowercase) as usual. don't forget to run fuel buddy or whatever fuel tracking you use so @Noodleguitar can get some data for the stint stuff. Then post your stuff in this thread.
Info needed:

Fuel per minute
Fuel per Lap
Fuel fill time
Tyre change time
Total stopped time
Pit in to Pit out (yellow cones to green cones) time
Stint length time
Stint length laps
Average lap time.

Not sure if all of this info is required but the more you have the better !!
