[Special Event] 2018 iRacing 24 Hours of Spa

[Hydromani]

I will be on Saturday evening doing more laps in the Audi. If the Audi team does not happen, I will gladly step into another team if the there is a spot...

If you guys are on Saturday and want to get some practice in together. Please reply as soon as possible

@Skid_Marc_, I don't think that is an option. I doubt @Rees Wagen will be driving, he hasn't been practicing in iRacing at all, last log in June 18, and he doesn't know this track. He is new and has spent his time on Nurburgring. Not sure about @dub_713. Reid, Bedo and I will not be able to drive enough to cover 24 hours. I thought it would make sense to put Bedo and I with @afroducks, since @afroducks likes to drive a ton. Not sure if @reid wants to drive another car.

I'll be on tonight for Practice pals. Plan on practicing this weekend and continuing on into the event. I have run some solo practice sessions so I'm familiar with the car/track combo. I can drive either the Ferrari or Merc. Preferably the Merc but if you need me somewheres for the Ferrari then I will do so. Sorry for being late to the party. I will do my best.

Right now Lucas and I have been running the Merc and have a stable setup that is Endurance ready. I think we may want to tweak it a bit more to see if we can pull a bit more speed out of it but we've hit mid 17's in full fuel and seem to be averaging low 18's over the stint.

We've dialed in camber a bit and have noticed a huge difference in amount of tire dropoff later in the stint.

If you decide to drive with us @Jes_971 which you and I've already discussed then we're conceivably 1 Driver short of a full Merc team.

 

[Skid_Marc_]

So far there seems to be two teams forming, and neither seems to include @SavreticD or @Noodleguitar which is somewhat puzzling...

 

[Deb]

@Skid_Marc_, @afroducks wants to drive the Ferrari, so we will be driving it. I tested it last night with @afroducks' set up and seems pretty good on the track, easier to get through the last chicane and turn 1 We might could take another driver that doesn't want to drive a ton of stints. I know @afroducks likes to drive a lot, so just want to make sure he gets his iRacing fix in If we need to add another driver, I can drive less, not a big of deal to me.

 

[Jes_971]

@Kenadian Is the set up in the TeamSpeak server?

No, I'll have to give it to you tonight at League.

It's a 24h race and from what I can tell we have only 2-3 drivers per car, is that right? If so, I'd reinforce the Ferrari team. At least the car feels much better for me.

What time Saturday is the practice? Sunday is nogo for me, will be watching the game.

Well I have heard from @Anson Bennette yet and havent seen him on in a while. So if I don't in by practice then I would be ok with that plan, if the Ferrari team is ok with that.

When would be a good time for you? I was thinking 5pm EST but I'm flexible for any time.

 

[Slider]

about 5pm works for me. I'll let you know if I'll be late or something due to dinner or whatever. I'm flexible all day, but will spend late afternoon/evening practicing for a few hours. Where can Ferrari setup be found, TS?

 

[Daunt]

I said I would've driven the Audi. No idea how BOP is though or if it's even worthwhile compared to the Ferrari

 

[Deb]

The Ferrari setups are still in process but here are two we have been testing with.

I can't tell if there are now 3 drivers for an Audi team or more drivers for the Ferrari team, but thought I would post the setups we are working on. I think we could take one more driver on the current Ferrari team, but @afroducks wants to do a bunch of stints, so don't think we could take 3 more.

Session up now for 2 Hours mates

Thanks for session, I'll be late today, will miss it, but will at least turn some laps to get used to the car.
Tomorrow, I should be there too.
Deb, I'm not sure 3 drivers in a 24h race is a good idea, unless all 3 have done it before and/or are 150% comitted to it. I know I can't and would prefer to see at least 4 in the team I am in, but preferably 5. If there's a stable Audi setup around, I'm up, but from trying baseline and rear having zero grip with half throttle and max TC, I am still skeptic.

This is what I have been working on @Slider. Try it

 

[ShadniX]

Fuel Buddy isn't working for me at the moment, but I got my average lap time down to 2:19,2 ish (in whatever weather conditions Nejtuns sessions were in) with an average fuel usage of 4.1 litres per lap.
