Enduro Round 2 - Brands Hatch iRacing

[AbbyTheFoxx]

I'm looking for a teammate to drive the RUF with this weekend. Windell/FetusBaby (I'm assuming his username is FetusBaby on here too?) said he might drive with me if he picks up the track but it sounds like he won't be getting it. I already have a somewhat decent setup going to build on if you haven't started one yet.

I don't know if I'm going to have a Livery ready for the weekend fella's, it's just too short of notice for me to get done. I'll try and spend some time tonight to see if I can mock something up quickly but I can't make any promises.

Quadro, are you able to connect in the evenings such as 8:30 PM EST? We've been running Practice Pals BES Sessions the last few nights so if you want friends to turn laps with this would be the best time.

My sleep schedule is sort of atrocious right now but I can try to fix it and be on tonight, I'll just be a little tired is all haha. I need to get it on track for a family dinner tomorrow anyways.

Were you having issues with fuel here Duke? If so, that's strange because in the McLaren I have plenty of fuel.

Here is an idea of the fuel strategy for the McLaren. I'd like to go with the bottom chart and take about 118 L during each pit stop:

The Porsches once again seem to be the quickest on this track. Then the BMW, then McLaren and then the Ford. The tires of the McLaren will probably also fall off more during a stint.

I have yet to get a full fuel run in this week. I think this is going to be an SR disaster for me.

Hey Noel I'll be around this Saturday but only for a limited time. Would you mind if I ran the 1st stint or the 2nd one and took off after that? Having a bonfire that night and need some daylight to get things ready. Or if it's more convenient to you to run BES at another time frame if there is one?

 

[Noodleguitar]

Yeah, that's fine. I can't do it on the other time slot anyway.

I don't know how much we differ in pace in race-trim so we'll have to figure out who does the first stint. Qualifying is really important here so then we probably also want the fastest driver to start to prevent getting run over. Although, us being a McLaren that might still happen .

Congratulations on 5th team BMW! How did the race go?

Ken, my condolences. My heart and thoughts go out to your safety rating...

It was clown college, just a horrific opening stint. I gridded inside the Top 10 (I think 9th) and had us up to Podium at one point but it was messy.

Honestly I just stopped caring and started bashing my way to get through. It was so bad that I had cars squeezing me when my tires were already touching grass, unbelievable.

In one weekend I've lost close to .7 SR and I'm not happy about it. I got involved to gain SR due to how infrequently I race so I'm really seriously contemplating dropping this entirely.

I also struggled with the off tracks here. People complain about Spa but it has nothing on Brands Hatch, holy shit lol.

John did a great job bringing us home in 5th, great job John! I think we could have even gotten 4th but I was a bit paranoid on fuel so we ran heavy.

4th split was absolute garbage. I had 4 car contacts and rest were avoiding other fools. Racing was nonexistent and people were just plain stupid. Worst were top10 that crashed and tried regaining positions, causing more crashes. I got DQd just before 2nd pit stop. Lots 0.96 SR, but I don't care. Still over A2.00, it's easy to recover that.

Nice job John and Ken. Sorry I couldn't make it. Yesterday was my fiance's shower so I was out drinking with the guys for most of the time.

Sorry about your SR but it happens; it's the nature of the beast. You go through a rough patch and then you bounce back and make it back in 1-2 races... As Dino says it gets easier to gain SR the lower you go.

Congrats to you guys though I'm glad overall the raced worked out better. Now with COTA a drop week for me I'll be working on a couple videos this week and also practicing Zolder for both BES and BSS the following week. Maybe also do some Nurburgring.
