[Special Event] 2019 iRacing 24 Hours of Daytona - January 19th-20th, 2019

I'm pretty sure the DP changes tires and fills the tank at the same time, so I think there is only a time savings if you are short filling?

Ah ok, thanks @Brainling.

 

[Sam Roselaar]

Sorry i couldn't make it yesterday. I will join tomorrow for sure. Also if anyone wants to practice during normal EU hours i will try to join.

I will fill in my availability this evening.

I'm not so sure you can use the words "normal" and "EU" in the same sentence

I'll be on tonight for absolutely sure. Along with every night leading up to the event. Are we using the same setup we've been using? The one from last year that @Slider posted?

 

[Nejtun]

@Jes_971 we are using this one , change the brake bias and TC and ARBs as you like

 

[Slider]

@Skid_Marc_ how much of a hassle would I create if I pulled out now? Schedule changed for the weekend and to be able to race I'd have to be awake for quite some time for only a couple of stints.

 

[Jes_971]

@Nejtun Thank you good sir!!!

 

[Anson Bennette]

Working from home tonight, but will be available to practice from tomorrow onwards.

Everything is still pretty fluid right now.. but I think we can still pull off 2 Daytona Prototypez, if @Hydromani willing to jump on-board. Also, I watched Ken's VoD from last night, and @afroducks was in the C7DP? Not sure if he was just testing for traffic, or if he'd be willing to drive.

With or without 'ducks, though, I can still keep you on a team @Slider if you want, just in case you change your mind/schedule changes again. As long as you practice and are comfortable with the current setup. Minimum required drive time is just 1.5 hours, which is close to just two stints, but I don't know exactly how strict iRacing's team rules are on that....

@Kenadian

Potential naming strategy for the Ferrari team;
"BELYEA, BENNETT, BENNETTE, BEDO, BLAHGLAGLAGH"

@Sam Roselaar kinda ruins the whole theme, otherwise..

Yes, the average full-service C7DP pitstop is around 24-27 seconds, which means we'll lose 3-6 seconds per driver change. Double stints I would almost say are minimum (obviously they're not, its whatever), with triple stints being optimum, if anyone is comfortable doing it.

Keep me off please. I don't see anything changing and weather forecast for the weekend is not looking good either, which will make the work day extra silly. Sorry it's last minute.

I don't see anything wrong with this.

 

[Slider]

Enjoy the race guys and girls, I'll try to stop by Twitch once in a while.

Anson, we tested these last night and they do seem very stable. The turn-in for turn 1 and thru the bus stop isn't as precise as it could be but it is good through the rest of the infield. There is another setup we are working on that is good through the bus stop and turn 1 but not as good through the rest of the infield. I will be in PP tonight to practice some more.

Also we found that *stiffer* springs are the key to making the car stable and responsive. The VRS set has full softs and does bizzare things to make the car stable.

The last setup we made was very close to yours Anson. I just adjusted dampers to and some other things to make it more responsive and quicker through the bus stop.

 

[Deb]

@afroducks, @Anson Bennette, @Sam Roselaar : I think this is the final setup, make sure you like it.

 

[Bedo]

yes, "final" setup.

 

[Deb]

Here we go again
