Hey Dave great to be in one of your races finally, I was the #25 Mustang @42m I did have a hardware issue. PC on my end screen froze on the banking came back live just before I'm at the wall, got all my controls back and tried not to kill anyone else which I thankfully was able to get it stopped before I hit the other side

Hello Dave. Thank you very much for this entertaining video. Really like it. About your driving experience: I think that sometimes iRacing does seem to have a bug deep into their physics code where the physics of the car changes violently. I mean pressures seem ok, temp seem ok. Why should you have loss of grip. Maybe iRacing simulates oil loss of other cars maybe? LOL. And my personal oppinion about these slow downs. It´s the worst invention iRacing has ever made to the service. Why not get rid of it and penalize it with -0.0X of SR or so. And if repeated several times, you should get a time penalty or Drive Through depending on severity though. But these slow downs is mostly the thing that turns me down of racing iRacing..... But I still do ;)

a little emotional driving there after the initial off lol Daytona also has felt very slippery after the update though it must be said (from my 1500 rated ass) but great recovery with the pitstop. shame p1 barely made it by. great race though Dave!

Dave, can you explain how you decided how much fuel you put in? I was unable to see, maybe since I’m on mobile, but how did you come up with that amount?

@davecamm 17 күн бұрын

I did a race the other day in the Mustang and put 17ltrs in and was short. I just added a couple of litres. I worked out what my usage was before the race and multiplied that by how many laps I thought it'd go 👍

@GRamerDim 17 күн бұрын

@@davecamm I'd rather just overfuel by a decent margin and be slower due to extra weight than have the stress of not finishing the race

@fommil 17 күн бұрын

@@GRamerDim the extra weight is irrelevant. You lose much more time due to the refuelling itself, which is about a second for every 2 litres.

@fommil 17 күн бұрын

@@davecamm be careful translating the fuel use of one car to another in the same class, all the GT3 / GT4 cars have very different fuel consumption stats. iRacing have normalised the refuelling times so a pitstop is about the same, which I think is pretty bad form but I guess they do it to make BoP simpler to calculate.

@fommil 17 күн бұрын

Oh boy, 23 litres, Jim was way off. Sorry about that, but still better than the iRacing autofuel so I shan't hang my head in shame too badly. Was this with "experimental fuel" enabled? If so I think the lap discrepancy can be explained by one of two things: a) something happened to the GTP leader and they didn't get an extra lap in or b) you didn't record a pitstop benchmark in your practice so Jim wasn't able to deduct ~40 seconds from your race time. He always adds an extra lap for safety by default which means you ended up with TWO extra laps of fuel because of this. I have considered automatically teaching Jim the pitstop times based on previous races (and early stoppers), but I intentionality decided NOT to do that because it gives people who take the time to record a pitstop time a competitive advantage and I like playing it safe by default but leaving a bit on the table for people who go to a bit more effort. You'll also be able to ask things like "where will I rejoin if I pit now?" which can help with fuel saving and/or traffic avoidance. BTW, the setting "Experimental fuel reserve (medium tracks)" (default 1 lap) can be tweaked to match your risk tolerance. I personally use 0.5 laps, but the default is to err on the side of caution. You can also tell Jim if you've been fuel saving or if you plan to fuel save after the stop, which influences the algorithm... but that's a more advanced topic best saved for another day.

@davecamm 17 күн бұрын

So, how do you benchmark the pitstop exactly? 😁

@fommil 17 күн бұрын

@@davecamm you should be able to bind a button to "benchmark pitstop" or similar. Press it on your in lap and use roughly the fuel (eg 20 litres) and any tyre changes you expect to do. You can record multiple stops with different levels to cover endurance events and fixed vs open imsa vs gt3 sprint. I use voice recognition so I just say "record this pitstop". It only works in practice sessions. Finish your stop and keep driving to at least sector 2. Jim will tell you what he found. Repeat if you change car. You'll see a json file show up in your crew chief folder that you can keep around when moving computers or share with teammates. You can also edit it manually if you know what you're doing. There has been some talk of garage61 automatically populating that file one day (as well as the fuel usage file in the same folder).

Fixed setups suck. I race in them only because an open series isn’t available. You guys can usually have a comfortable drive by lowering the ride height and resetting your camber to pass inspection. Of course, real setup wizards can do so much more.
