Nurburgring 24 - B2O Teams iRacing

[Daunt]

For shitout, are you referring to the first left-hander that goes off the GP track onto the Nordschleife, or the very next one? Both are similar left handers, I'm just trying to figure out which one you're having trouble with. From my video, is it the one at 1:40 or 1:45 ish?

Also, you're losing the back end yet hitting the inside wall?

 

[Kenadian]

Yup, it's the left at 1:44 in your video.

 

[Daunt]

Odd. It's a difficult turn (like all of em) but I've never found it worse than most. I compare it to... I have to consult the map... I believe it's Kallenhard... you have to take some speed into it but you have to wait an abnormally long amount of time in order to get back onto the gas. Both track outs have high curbs that aren't appealing to run over, so you're kinda forced to hold it for an extra split second to wait for additional rotation.

 

[Chris Sierzega]

So Ken, where exactly on the track is "shit-out"?
T1?

 

[Chris Sierzega]

Disregard that.

For some reason the last three replies weren't posted until after I submitted.

 

[Kenadian]

Well I managed to make it through Shit-out last night without a single issue aside from sucking there but no crashing. I'm carrying a bit more speed in which keeps me off the throttle longer and is allowing me through reasonably cleanly.

Now I just have to work on control and missing the bl00dy curbs.

I just cannot fathom why this car is so piss poor over curbing, it echos back to the McLaren in that sense.

I understand that cars have there strengths and weaknesses but you'd be hard pressed to find a car this skittish over curbing in Blancpain.

I'm making an executive team decision and planning the race for 1pm eastern slot. I don't know how the other team wants to handle that, as I know we want to be in the same race/split but an 8am eastern, 12 GMT start time hurts us more than helps when all 4 of us are USTZ. In fact, Noel is the only one of 9 drivers that isn't USTZ.

I feel bad having to schedule drivers early morning in their TZ and it's very difficult with a race starting and ending at 8am Eastern, which for west coasters is EXTREMELY early.

I'm updating the schedule to reflect this. As well as adjust start times to reflect a little bit longer of a stint (close to 70 minutes)

 

[Daunt]

EDIT- Sorry it is 1PM Eastern (5PM GMT).... NOT 12 noon eastern as I incorrectly stated before and fixed.

 

[Kenadian]

Oh, were you waiting for feedback on the time frame?

I just assumed we were starting early on the West Coast because we always do. The last 24 hr event I was up at 4:00 AM or some other ungodly hour.

Yeah it was an 8AM Eastern start, and I am suggested a change in that to a 1PM Eastern Start as that makes a ton more sense for our team, and 90% of everyone here.

 

[Kenadian]

Has anyone heard anything from Peeble and if so, is he still going to be a part of this?

 

[Peeble]

Hey sorry guys, been pretty busy lately. I'm gonna have to pull out, I have finals on the week of the 24 and really need to focus on them. I thought it was going to be the week before but I got that a bit wrong.

Sorry for throwing a wrench in the plans/discussion.

 

[Daunt]

That sucks Peeble.

Well I think that ends Team Audi. We can't make do with 3.

 

[Peeble]

If you guys can't run without a 4th I'll figure something out and run it, but I won't have quite so much time to practice.

 

[Daunt]

I'd say running without a fourth is not doable. I don't think everyone wants to bear the weight of eight hours worth of driving time.

But we don't want to force you into participating Peeble or hogging your time away from studying.

 

[Kenadian]

Peeble life comes first so don't push yourself to commit if you can't do it. I'm sure everyone shares my sentiment in how much we appreciate you even considering it but there will be plenty of events to follow.

iRacing has become a staple at B2O so there will be way more to get involved in the future.

We could possibly look at another C-Spec Team though, we have the numbers.

 

[Chris Sierzega]

 

[Noodleguitar]

That would be very sad if the Audi team can't participate

I would not count on another C-spec team to even out two teams though, because I haven't seen Jes around and Dry Ink hasn't confirmed yet whether he is available during the race, so at the moment we should be considered as 3 drivers as well.

I'll be practicing with you guys in the C-Spec as well just in case.

 

[Daunt]

I've decided I really want to make this happen. I'm going to pick up for peeble.basically with 70 minute stints, it comes out you about 21 stints. That means we had planned on about five stints for each. I'll take ten stints to make it work. We can do it.

I'm going to Sunday or Monday do two full fuel stints in a row to plan out how long that lasts, including the stop, etc.
