It's not required. Basically if you want to race in the tournaments and stuff you can bring your rig and race on it against everyone else there, but there's tons of other stuff like presentations and 'classroom' type stuff where other sim-racers can teach you the basics of making setups and what not. There's also plenty of other cool cockpit rigs there that people can let you use.

The only thing I know about the seminar is how awesome the video of Cater's sessions has been every year without fail.

I will strongly consider putting 2,500 miles on my bike last minute and going.


edit: Nevermind. I just got a call to sub in goal for a bunch of hockey games in a tournament that week.

Where do the iRacing developers put up work in progress stuff? Also I will be very surprised if they charge the same $15 for it. Has to be at least double.

Yeah I think those videos (along with Dale Jr's setup tips) are what taught me how to set up a car. I honestly just love tuning set ups and turning laps sometimes. I don't know what that says about me.

Exactly my thought. This combo is by far one of my favorites when they pop up in racing games and Sims.

Lotus 49 is a lot harder to drive with wheel since I'm still learning wtf to do with a wheel setup.

Hello Commandos
I've started playing again after a long break (I only played briefly then as well and was poo poo at it).
I'm a lot better now I think and having fun, I am consistent but not very fast, I have come 4th / mid pack mainly so far.
That's my iRacing story thanks for reading.

Won't happen unless iRacing allows Tech Tracks in schedules (not likely)

Edit: I guess Tech Tracks are now allowed in official series, so :getin:
Too bad Long Beach would be run the same week as the real life race, so I won't be able to produce an article about Long Beach until the next time it comes up. :smith:

Also, video preview of Monza!

It's not a real combined series, they're just going to do a fake scoring lookup to take 6 and 6 (if it's even happening, I'm not sure where people are getting it from based on what iRacing said). It's the same thing they were doing in the forums a few seasons back, only on the main site. I don't think there's going to be that many people that bother to do both, especially if it means losing their precious participation credits.

Alright HPD Gents it's getting close to practice time for Sebring so before we do the session tomorrow I thought I would post a race setup from the guy who did the Daytona setup we used.

http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/200/3255180.page#8632508

We should put some laps in with it tomorrow and see how we all like it and if we need to make changes.

If that link doesn't take you directly to his post it's a post by Allan Paterson and the setup names are AGP LDF Sebring S1 15 R.sto and AGP LDF Sebring S1 15 Qv2.sto

As a reminder here is the time sheet for Sebring and if you haven't signed yourself up go ahead and do that. Don't worry so much about what stints at the moment.

We'll have to see how long a full fuel run takes, and then change the slots to match. I think at Daytona we got off schedule since the slots were an hour and a full tank took 45-50 minutes.

I'll try to show up and do the same as well for the RUF.

Aside from adjusting brake bias, is the car going to stick to one setup that is started by the driver, or can the setup be changed in the pits (spring, etc)?

From what I understand, only in-car driver adjustments can be made. The setup loaded for the car is what everyone uses.

Yes whatever setup is used at the start is what is used for the race with the exception of the changes you can make in the cockpit. I know with the HPD you can change things like traction control, fuel map, bias when you get in but not sure about the Ruf beyond brake bias.
