Finally some real endurance racing instead of 24 hours of daylight XD

 

[Pamellaaa]

That sounds like a nice addition, in other general iRacing chit chat I have joined the 2K club!

 

[Dutchtastic]

I see a trend forming ...
Oval on road tracks is so much fun

I watched a stream of your race last night when stuck in the hotel, saw you leading from all of it that I watched although I was following someone mid pack.

Yeah, Pierre is one of the ORC drivers that streams every now and then. A bit slow but a clean driver.
If I had a wired connection I'd stream more often. Or capable of streaming for more then 40 minutes

Here is my last race I did. Let’s just say after lap 2 I never expected the finish I got.

Yikes on that first lap. I would have just rage quit after that.

Me on Circuit Giles Villeneuve

Seems that non-ABS brakes in iRacing is very different from Pcars. I have driven GTE cars with no ABS in Pcars, I can press the brakes all the way down and lift it a little bit at end to prevent lock-up with 90% brake pressure; but in iRacing, even though I use low friction brake and 50.8% pressure and half way down the pedal, it still lock up very easily. Is there any specific trick in iRacing to drive non-ABS cars?

I considered it but I am happy with the reward.

Well done Dutch! I knew going on holiday was a mistake!

Did a race at Interlagos and look who showed up lol. Ruben's was running second all of the race until the last lap when he had to pit as he took too little fuel. I messaged him and told him good race and he responded back! Told me I was too fast haha. Race of the week for me for sure.

Event Results

Rubens is a great guy to race with, had an epic 10 lap battle with him in January in the GT3 around Spa.
But he is right, you're too fast

Did a 5km run for the first time in 6 months, legs still hurting. Feeling of the brakes was gone in the GTE but I had to do a race this week. In the last 10 minutes atleast 25 people instantly signed up for the race so I assumed with 100 people I'd be in 2nd split, cruising in a top 5.

Oh have I been wrong. Split 1 in a GTE SOF of 4.7K (My iRating just passed the 3K) among a few pro drivers. After chocking on the 2nd qualli lap I had to work through the field. My back is sweaty, feet are hurting and my fingers and still clamping to the wheel, but it was by far the most intense race for me in weeks.

Was able to "break even" on the iRating amongst faster drivers.

Saw a rumour that iRacing is increasing race car limit to 6, is that right?

Theres a new GT3 car in testing at the moment too.

Maybe 650S GT3? Since iRacing is also doing that gamer thing with McLaren (just guessing)
