B2O iRacing 24 Hours of Le Mans 2017

[Skid_Marc_]

I'm going to host a 4 hour practice session in 20 minutes, so that we don't have to play russian-roulette with the practice sessions.

Thanks, Zac!

I know its early to think about such prospects. Seeing as how Le Mans '17 hasn't even happened yet. I was thinking it would be cool to have two teams next year. A Ford team and a Ferrari team. It could be our little "24 Hour War". I think it might be some good inter-community competition. I don't know, what do y'all think?

 

[Sam Roselaar]

we can't know for sure if those cars are even going to be in the 2018 24h of le mans untill the week before

but that would only work if people in the team are naturally willing to drive both cars. right now everyone in the team wants to drive ferrari. it would be silly to force someone to drive their non-prefered car, just for a rivalry. and then there's the different splits...
so i'm trying to say, it's something that either happens or it doesn't, you can't plan it IMO. but it would be a fun idea if we got into the same split

Forgot to say on TS.Noel or somebody(boss),invite me in team in iRacing please

Is the driving order setup? I don't see it on the spreadsheet.


For the setup, I'll have something finalized tomorrow. Here are the changes that I made in the last V3 set I shared:

Full soft springs - let the car compress under aero for max straight line speed.
Tire pressures to 20 - the 18.5 felt too mushy and temps were weird. Definitely, needed a stiffer tire.
Front ARB - softer
Front dampers - optimize turn in, help with lockup, keep traction on corner exit.
Rear dampers - better bite on exit.
Rear ARB - softer
Diff - lowered preload to give the car more freedom on turn in and less wheelspin on corner exit.
It might need a bit more rake.

If you don't like, it let me know what you don't like, and I will be happy to fix it.

No, there isnt a driving order for the GTE teams yet because there isnt any fuel stint data yet. When there is a confident stint length, then we can project how many stints there should be in the race, and then I can pair a driver with each stint. Hopefully that will get done tomorrow or, for sure, Friday.

Bedo could you upload the set? i'd like to try both

It's about an hour. Similar to GT1/2/3. With fuel maps, you might be able to extend it a lap, depending on where in that lap you'll run out.

You guys letting Denis run with you? My oh my

I got about 5 laps in last night running Fuel Buddy. I was seeing 61 minutes. I should have taken a screen shot when I finished. I will try to get another session in today and post a screenshot here.

So I like to touch you Deb, what can possibly be wrong with that

You should be flattered

Weird that you didn't like our previous setup. Most of us felt it was very drivable. I agree the numbers look weird (ARB mostly). The lower spring rate is something I forgot to test but that is a good one. I'll also do some more testing today with the 3 major setups we have so far.

I was hoping to have some fuel numbers from yesterday but Fuel Buddy reset my data when I pitted in and out. I think we need to save a little bit to make it an extra lap (might be possible flat out). I had quite a few slow-downs and got into the pits with 0.5 L left.

Was there a plan to do more Practice Pals tonight or Battlefield? If we're driving I might go to sleep before that.

 

[Kenadian]

It'll be PracticePals all week long

All, I don't know where we left off on setup when I went to bed last night. Wyatt sent me this setup. Haven't tested it yet, but here it is if anyone wants to. Sounds like Bedo is working on one too, I did think his changes to the dampers improved the set I was driving.

 

[Sam Roselaar]

is that the "ken set on ure face" one? i'm kinda done with the constant setup changes so unless bedo's set is significantly faster i suggest team 1 sticks with this one.

also is @PancakesYUMMY still driving with team 1? i haven't seen him in the ferrari yet (i might be wrong). but i hope he won't get his first seat time literally 1 day before the race

 

[Brainling]

Not that I'm on the Ferrari teams, but I ran Ken's Set On My Face in two French Connection races last night and thought it was good. I was able to carve through the field and basically put the car where I wanted it on that set. Surprised Bedo found it so undrivable.

I said about fuel few posts before.This is with out lap.Average is 6.058L

 

[SavreticD]

Btw I like set we all liked.Tire pressures you can change every pit stop how you like.Today I will test fuel map 2-5.

Thanks, I might have missed that. I'll test the pit stop later and get an initial fuel schedule up based off this.
