[Special Event] 2019 iRacing 24 Hours of Daytona - January 19th-20th, 2019

@ShadniX @Slider

This is the setup we've been using so far. I *THINK* I already changed the gear up one-click? (2.111?). Gonna turn some more laps on it this afternoon, in 2-3 hours, but it's solid for 1:39's. I wouldn't recommend brake-bias lower than 59.1, I think Nejt's running 59.4 and Ken might be at 60? Either way, we're all really close on pace.

I saw that BoP update. I don't really understand why it's NOT for Daytona, but whatever. I feel like iRacing needs to make so many arbitrary decisions just to keep people at a certain level of upset.

Thanks @Skid_Marc_.

I'll try and get some laps in too, depends on how quickly I can get home tonight.

As for brake bias I was really struggling with car control under heavy braking at under 60 I think.

The car sometimes felt as if it was a front wheel drive and wanted to loop around on me.

No, just the fastest to register, I think. I never win anything else. Bedo reminded me to register like 5 minutes before it opened, so I was like the first one. Odd thing is, I almost didn't register because I thought I couldn't win because of Petit Le Mans, but looks like they changed the rules to by each event versus all of the events Guess I am out now for a couple of years except for Sebring

Sorry I haven't made a post about this. Been a crazy start to 2019 for me. If there is room on any team, I will be up to run.

Yes, I should be able to pick up more AMG swag, I will definitely try to get more hats. If anyone wants something specific to the Rolex 24 Hours Daytona race, i.e., not AMG, let me know and I will go shopping Well, I'll go shopping whether you guys want something or not

Can I have a race-car from the event please @Deb ? doesn't have to be a podium winning one (although that would be preferable) , just steal it, we can worry about the legality of it later. Thanks!!!

I would totally steal one for you @Nejtun. I am absolutely sure I could get away from any police chasing me since I have so much practice

One problem, how do I ship it to England without anyone noticing

 

[Bedo]

I updated my availability. Wide open on Sat 10am - 8pm EST.

I will also work on a setup today for the 488. The one Deb gave me is pretty tight and I think it needs some tweaking to make it more friendly. It also has negative rear toe, which is really weird and make the car behave weird in certain situations.

Updated availability.

 

[Sam Roselaar]

Looking forward to your set @Bedo . the one i'm running right now really wants to kill me.

Can someone tell me when we will practice together? i suppose during PP, but when is that?

 

[Nejtun]

Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 2am your time @Sam Roselaar

 

[Slider]

Tonight's my last shift in rotation, so Tuesday - Thursday I'll try to be on in the evening, unless I fall asleep because nights shifts. But I'll practice during the day.

 

[Anson Bennette]

Not sure they might help anyone, but here are the two sets I was using in practice today in the 488. Seemed pretty stable....i think...

 

[Bedo]

I'm gonna hop into one of the hosted now. I'll give your sets a try Anson, thanks!

 

[Jes_971]

Monday night Practice Pals hype post!!!!!!!!! Let's Go!!!!!!!!!

Anson, we tested these last night and they do seem very stable. The turn-in for turn 1 and thru the bus stop isn't as precise as it could be but it is good through the rest of the infield. There is another setup we are working on that is good through the bus stop and turn 1 but not as good through the rest of the infield. I will be in PP tonight to practice some more.

 

[Brainling]

I'll be around most of this afternoon and this evening practicing. Just playing with my new video card right now.

Updated availability with an "x" inside the green box indicating time preference.

Still unsure of #of consecutive stints though because I thought the C7DP only lasted approx. 40 mins on a tank of gas. Assuming this is true it may be wise for me to run triple stints, not sure?

Also, is there a substantial Pit saving in double stinting tires? Last night I ran 1.5 ffs on the same tires with negligible lap-time falloff. I would have run back to back ffs but the session ended before I could.
