iRacing - The Ultimate in Sim Racing

Definitely. That’s why I’ll be waiting for the next season’s tracks to be released before I make any purchases. I really hope they keep Formula Sprint because then I’ll buy the car for that. And otherwise I may buy tracks that are shared by the Formula 3 and IMSA seasons.

Will decide properly end of the month.

I’d love to join you guys in the future! It sounds like great fun.

Considering I never turned a lap in the Audi before yesterday and considering initially we were 4 sec off the pace it was a mad scramble to get ready for a the race. Luckily I found a setup I felt I could push a bit.

It was stressful especially the first stint, a lot of traffic keeping my off my preferred pace, and causing cars to catch us. Had to deal with a torpedo attack and punterino. Second stint I found my pace and gained a few places. I’m getting more comfortable in traffic which helps keeping times on pace.

Working out fuel was funny trying to give Olt the optimal for the final stint. Even when he topped it up after I set the liters :slight_smile:

It was! Btw, the fuel in the pit window is how much fuel to ADD, not how full to make the tank. So I tried to fill the tank from 55 to 65 or something, but ended up nearly adding ANOTHER 65 liters!!! :smiley:

I’m going to target this week to get my C class license. Will just try and stay out of trouble.

Then when I get my C class license I will focus on improving my iRating. And then I look forward to 2020 S1. Will start in December which is nice.

Just do some good time trials.

You are right. Let me try the time trials first and see how much that nets me.

The secret with time trials is do 2.5x-3x the laps required. So if you need to do 4, do 12…

Thanks, I will do an hour straight and see how much it contributes to my license. Um and just make sure I keep the car on the road. :smile:

Hmmmm one thing though. I’ve only been driving MX-5 Cup. So for me to get the next license I will actually have to drive D-Class time trials. I guess that even if I get to a safety rating of 4 it won’t fast track me.

So no matter what, I will have to buy something tonight.

Do I understand that correctly? I should maybe go google that.

Once you get 4.0 you immediately get bumped to next class level. With a 3.0 you have to wait until season ends, hence why I said do time trials.

But what about these requirements?

Will it skip that if I reach 4.0?

Or will I need to do 4 races or time trials in a class D car?

Ah, then you’re screwed :joy:
Again, you can use the 4 D class time trials?

Where do you get this table?

Haha yeah it looks like I’m screwed.

Promotion
3.9.1.Fast Track: Drivers having earned a 4.00 Safety Rating at any point during the season and having met the MPR will be promoted to the next higher license level.

So I will have to do 4 D class time trials.

I think I will then go ahead and buy 6 pieces of content tonight. Will get the Ferrari 488 GTE, Dallara F3 and 4 tracks. Will spend some time deciding which tracks to buy.

Will then use the Dallara F3 in time trials on the Summit Point Raceway and get my class C license. I was practising Summit Point Raceway with the Mazda last night.

What do you currently own if I may ask?

I take it that the Le Mans track that we will be using is the 24 hour le Mans track in the iRacing store?

I did not like the Dallara very much, maybe because I drove it around Leguna Seca.

I only tried it during testing and liked it a lot. Only tried it on tracks that I’ve raced before. :slight_smile:

@Nosferatie just to make sure, is that 24 hours Le Mans track the one we need? I just don’t want to go buy an old one that isn’t used anymore.
