[Special Event] iRacing Nürburgring 24h

[Nejtun]

I will be on for that, I believe we are doing some night time practice later today also.

 

[Noodleguitar]

I will host a public 4-hour night session, launching at 18:00 GMT today, hopefully with the new BoP if that is available.

@Skid_Marc_ , if you're doing Kamel, maybe you can register your team+driver before the race so you can claim a slot.

 

[Skid_Marc_]

I'll skip Kamel, it's fine.

 

[Noodleguitar]

New BoP:
BMW M4 GT3: -0.75% power
Mercedes-AMG GT3 2020: -1.25% power, +10 kg, -2% fuel capacity
Porsche 911 GT3 R: +7 kg, -2% fuel capacity

Now we actually might be able to pass a BMW on the straight.

I won't hold my breath...

In case you weren't already aware, you can speed-up the Hosting process by selecting the "View Series" icon next to the "24 Hours of Nurburgring" series, selecting the "Schedule" tab, and clicking on "Drive Now" -> "Create a Hosted Session".

It defaults to just 60 minutes, and you can adjust the time of day, but it automatically sets up the track, cars, classes, BoP, and date. And the BoP is up to date.

Ah thanks, I did use that before for test sessions, but I'm not sure if I would have remembered to use this when hosting a session.

@Kenadian do you have an idea when you'll be around this afternoon/evening?

@Kenadian do you have an idea when you'll be around this afternoon/evening?

I can be on at any time now, whatevers good for you guys.

I'll be in Discord at noon our time @Skid_Marc_.

For anyone looking to tune into the race tomorrow, here is a KBMod link for all of our streams.

Registration opens at 21:00 GMT (5pm EDT / 2pm PDT) with registration last one hour, and then warm-up/qualifying taking up another 45 minutes.

 

[Kenadian]

Driver names added, files attached if you want to run them locally.

Livery updated on Trading Paints Band of Others Endurance #95 Team.

Our potential combined iRating (harmonic mean) during sign-up will be:
4 / (1/1952 + 1/3048 + 1/1842 + 1/4492) = 2491

 

[Noodleguitar]

I've created an initial setup for the schedule. No idea what to do with the stints yet, so the names at the start are just a suggestion. Feel free to edit the driver names. I can enable the updater later today again so that it can update the stint times based on the drivers, but it shouldn't make a big difference in terms of stints.

Because Ken and I are both in PDT (UTC -7) is it possible you could add a column for that?

It looks like Ken's stint would last until ~11:30p PDT. I'm guessing he and I will have to cover a couple more stints after that?

 

[Noodleguitar]

Sure, I've added a GMT - 7 column on the right.
Ken's stint (#6) actually ends at ~22:30 PDT. If I'm doing the first two stints I will likely be away until about 02:00 PDT. Do you think you and Ken can fill up that space?

I'm also not sure if @Nejtun wants to do a stint starting at 01:44 British time

 

[Nejtun]

I can be up for whatever stints fit, but also I can do at least one double stint so I would prefer to do it while i am fresh for the first one, i am heading off to bed now so i can get a few hours rest before the start of the race.

 

[Noodleguitar]

Made some changes to the schedule and filled it in to over half-way. Let me know if this is horrible for anyone. I think it will be light until about the end of the 8th stint

 

[Kenadian]

Holy crap you've all been busy!

BTW, I just noticed we have another Driver on the Team, Default Placeholder, do I need to add the name to the livery?

 

[Skid_Marc_]

GET F*CKED, BMW META!

Merc 1-2!

Wish we were the "1", though.

 

[Nejtun]

Well done everyone , that was TOUGH! another 2023 B2O Podium though!!
