[Special Event] 2019 iRacing 12 Hours of Sebring - March 1-2, 2019

[Slider]

@Slider, can you start the race? If so, do you want to qualify or should @Kinger qualify before the race?

I can start, that's fine. It's just 2 laps of Q before the race, so I can do that too.

Okay, great!

 

[Kinger]

Anyone else planning to get a FFS in this evening?

 

[Brainling]

@Jes_971 Can you make sure I'm an admin on #971? Also, do you control the Trading Paints for that team? We'll need to make sure we have the B2O paint and suit uploaded for the RSR if so. I can do it as well if any admin can administer the TP team.

 

[Jes_971]

@Brainling Done and done.

That's the plan, yes.

@Brainling Done and done.

Awesome!

some additional setup option in the Audi. Almost identical to what we were using before. The major change is to max rear camber; my thinking is that we may be able to abuse some rear camber since the fronts appear to be wearing much more on this track. dunno...

 

[Deb]

@Kinger, I'm just not sure on the toe change. I can't tell if it was the weather or the toe change, but since the weather was 42 degrees in that session, probably was the weather. Towards the end of the run with low fuel and bad tires, at 42 degrees, it was very slippery. I went into another session after my FFS because time ran out in that session and put the toe back and was much faster, but the temperature was only 36 degrees, so not a fair comparison. I may try both in the same session tonight if I can. In the heat, I think adjusting brake bias does help.

I’m going to assume at 42C and low fuel it is going to be slippery no matter what. The question is whether that additional toe makes it even just a “little” less slippery to where we make a mistake and spin the car into a wall. As I mentioned last night, if others do not feel that adjustment is worth anything for the hot weather I’m ok with leaving it alone.

 

[Deb]

Okay, did you check how long a full pit stop is?

@Skid_Marc_, I know you are busy so I made a first attempt at putting together the schedule for the #78 team. I don't have all the exact metrics yet, but at least have a draft.

 

[Jes_971]

@Deb I did a full fuel stint last night and at the end I let the pit stop complete and it was 59.9 seconds.

 

[Jes_971]

@Brainling Do you want me to start the race due to it not being as early of a start as it would be for you?

 

[Skid_Marc_]

Thanks @Deb and @Jes_971 for the work on the Porsche schedules. I'm not busy, but I appreciate your optimism. I did make an Audi schedule and a C7 schedule for @Nejtun @ShadniX @Kenadian @Anson Bennette so make sure everyone checks it over and that the information is correct. I'll have an iRating line-up done in the next couple hours, as well.

 

[Brainling]

@Brainling Do you want me to start the race due to it not being as early of a start as it would be for you?

Doesn't matter to me. I'll be up anyway.

e: Looks like I'm already scheduled to start. We can just leave it that way. I kind of wanted to start the race anyway.

[Skid_Marc_]

All the drivers are checked on the correct team!

Registering Drivers:
C7: @Nejtun @ShadniX
RSR 971: @Brainling @Jes_971
RSR 78: @Deb
Audi: @Anson Bennette @Kenadian @Skid_Marc_

Drivers NOT Registering:
@Bedo @Kinger @Slider

 

[Kenadian]

Wow @Skid_Marc_, great job on the schedule!

When I bowed out to let you start I did so because I felt you wanted to as you seem to always start whenever you do Endurance (assuming I remember correctly). I didn't want to put you in a position to sacrifice that if you truly wanted to start the race.

Myself, I like starting so I'm happy to do so.

 

[Brainling]

I was trying to be diplomatic at first. Once I saw I was already scheduled to start I went for the jugular and took my crown, as it was rightfully mine.

 

[Slider]

After a good long sleep and taking a day off, I feel 100%. Had a pretty bad digestion problem going for 4 days...not fun.. I'll be up and early before the race and I saw the above and schedule about registering.

I cower in the shadow of your alphaness. Blood spurting out from between my fingers as I try to hold in my life force.
