B2O iRacing 12 Hours of Sebring Team Discussion

[Kenadian]

As soon as the cable guy gets here and upgrades my router I'll be online turning laps as well.

 

[Brainling]

I'm sitting here waiting for 1080 Ti's to get posted up so I can order one, then I need to make a grocery store run and then it's practice time. I'll be practicing most of the day.

ok i did it. no decals and stuff this time? it almost seems too easy... xD

i most likely won't drive with you before the race simply because i want to get a good night sleep before the race but i will get some more practice and hopefully a better qualy.

 

[Kinger]

Are non racers (cough cough) welcome in TS tomorrow to listen in on the banter or would you all prefer any interaction to be conducted via stream chat?

 

[Skid_Marc_]

@Kinger everyone is welcome in TS, always. Just please be respectful, especially if a team is in the middle of traffic, or a pit sequence. If the banter becomes too much, we'll set up team specific channels for a driver/spotter to utilize, but there is nothing wrong community members to coming in, hanging out, and enjoying the race with us!

Damn DP's are gonna DP though, so if you're a DP sympathizer, brace yourself.. You're in for a long day tomorrow!

 

[Nejtun]

@Zac_Sonic "just in case" put in a qually time, you get 20 mins - loading time, slow out lap then go nuts. don't waste time making adjustments. set attached!

 

[Noodleguitar]

Duke, could you make us an admin on the C7 team, so we can change the car number and wheel color?

 

[Skid_Marc_]

Here are the suit TGA's. Place them in your paint folders as;

Mercedes AMG GT3: suit_team_49169

Corvette C7 DP: suit_team_40248

Don't forget to set them as "Read-Only Files" so that Trading Paints doesn't write over them tomorrow! Have a good night, guys!

 

[Noodleguitar]

Here is what seems to be a decent fuel schedule for the C7 team:

Good luck today guys! Wish I was there but I'm done with doing big endurance races on my potato of a pc. Got a new rig on order from iBuyPower (I've already built my own PC in the past, just wanted to do something different this time.) I'll be back for the Nurb 24 and finally get to run that track in all of it's graphics glory.

Not one of my happier memories that's for sure

 

[Noodleguitar]

The one time I don't upload our paint to Racespot and we get into top split .

Not a bad run for "B-twenty Endurance" (2h52m57s):

 

[Noodleguitar]

My second scariest moment during the race (this first one being a black screen as Trading Paints crashed):

 

[Nejtun]

I think we all held our breath at the same time there! looks like iracing a lot and almost the exact same moment.

What game is that in the video btw? I seem to remember playing that on my Atari

this has got to be the saddest moment in my iRacing career ;(

at least i learnt a lot this race. like how to fix my FFB issue and that 56 minutes is not more than an hour

looking forward to the next endurance event!

 

[Brainling]

Terribly disappointing end, but after sleeping on it, I wouldn't take the experience back for anything. Was an absolute blast driving with you Sam and Ken and I can't wait for Nurburgring.

By then I'll have my full rig and a new wheel (ordering a CSP v2.5 this week when my bonus hits).

So where did the teams come out? Looks like quite a lot of drama We came in 17th. Bedo had us up to 2nd and then Tom crashed on lap 130 requiring 15 minutes of repairs. Came back out in 30th, but then it was left to Reid and me to try to gain back ground and we are just not fast enough (yet) to make up that much ground. Fortunately I had only one minor incident where a car dove in on me in the last turn, but fortunately I kept driving and he hit the wall. Car was still in decent shape. Did get a full 1 point bump in SR so now back up to 4.46. Makes up for Daytona
