iRacing Petit Le Mans 2016

[Noodleguitar]

We understand. It is a big shame but RL comes first.

Did you say Rocket League comes first?

Not a problem at all Ken, few weeks ago I didn't think I'd be able to make it because of all the Blue Origin jobs with ridiculous due dates, I get it. Sent Bedo a PM on iRacing. If he's unable to do it would you want to 2 man it Kyle? I have no issue with that either.

 

[Bedo]

Here are two setups from Sebring. They're pretty good.

The setup is very good. We'll run it. I'll need to make a qualify set, but I'm not very good at making them. I'll try today. Bedo does in fact have a better iRating than me (3156) so @Bedo if you're able to both qualify this evening and register the team in the morning (I sent you an invite to the team- it is "Band of Others Racing") we'd be a bit better off and more likely to make the second split. My iRating is 2687.

I'll also adjust our paint and include Bedo. Are we now an All-American team??

 

[Kenadian]

Thanks for jumping in at the last moment Bedo, that's terrific of you.

My apologies again guys for letting you down on this one, I just can't get out of my work commitment.

I qualified and managed a 1:14.608. Pretty much the best I could do... was my overall best lap (purple) and a tenth slower than my optimal lap.

 

[Bedo]

Great guys, glad the setup worked out. I don't have a wheel right now, so won't be able to qualify and won't be able to put in practice until I get to Crimson tomorrow (I'll just try my best not to crash. ).

I accepted the team invite, and will try to get to Naid's before 9:30am, so if you need me to register for a split, I should be able to do that.

I'll bring my oculus and a fan.

 

[Daunt]

Don't NEED you to register, but if the both of us register, it will boost the iRating just a tad.

I'm surprised to see only 71 people have qualified with the DP. My qualify time gets us at 43rd. So we should DEF be in the 2nd split, I think.

 

[Kenadian]

Any status updates on how the race is going guys?

Also, since we're streaming it I'd appreciate it if you guys could respond to chat now and then. You don't have to answer everything but it would be nice to keep it interactive.

 

[Jes_971]

Kyle just pitted after his third fuel run and he was running 2nd.

Noel has had two DP's pull back on track in front of him causing damage both times. Still running 3rd though.

 

[Daunt]

After davey's first pit out, we are in the lead, lap 162

 

[Kenadian]

Wow great work guys!

 

[Daunt]

At the halfway, with five hours remaining, Bedo leads the field in first, readying to pit and head out on his second straight stint.

 

[AbbyTheFoxx]

Jes and I are running 9th in our race so far with a clean car, lap 62

 

[AbbyTheFoxx]

7th now, Jes has been making up positions during his stint

 

[Daunt]

Pretty much blew our chance at a podium, and then a top 5 or 10 all in one stint. Multiple, terrible mistakes took us from running 2nd, about 10-20 seconds from the leader, to running 4th, 2 laps down after a nose replacement, then after another costly, stupid mistake, I caused about 8 minutes of required.

EDIT: pitted out it seems in 10th, about 8 laps down.
