Bearpope Enduro finished second! Looks like we were split 18, holy crap there were a lot of splits. This was a 2.7k sof for the LMDh and GT, only 1.3k for the LMP.

DPP, the LMDh in our split, finished eighth I think?

Not sure where the other two GT teams ended, for I collapsed after the finish.

"Only one real incident" is a very understated way to say "13 mins repairs that took us out of podium contention because prototype drivers have no brain"

It has a 70s F1 car but that's it, the problem with historics usually is no-one actually wants to race them.

It's this, unfortunately. The '87 NASCAR has better participation than either of the Lotuses by a long shot but even it doesn't always go official. The highest-participation splits I see for either the L49 or L79 is when they're acting as a stand-in for '60s and '70s Indycar and running at an oval.

I've been watching GPlaps on youtube and got real high last night so I bought the Lotus 49, 70 and the Nissan GTP with the intention of creating my own AI season races.


We'll see how that goes.

One day when I have infinite money I'll commission a game that is a high fidelity recreation of historic racing series from the 1930s all the way to 1990ish including F1, world sports car. All the right drivers, cars, historically correct tracks, points systems and seasons. All of it.

And VR optimized out of the box


I'd also rebuild Monzas oval properly and undo all the loving chicanes. Make Curva Grande great again dammit. Make it like it was originally but modern F1 safe compliant.

Also bring back old hockenheim and Spa layouts. Yes I know people live there, I don't care.

Or just use ACC as a base for a grand prix legends remake. That would be a good start. Modders would probably do the rest.

Honestly you should look for a league, I've been doing my first one this season with a bunch of other goons and its awesome - 1 race a week, same people every race, multiple driver classes in the same car so despite a huge range of skill theres always someone to race, and really fun to get to know the other drivers and how they drive. This league is GR86 and some people are doing a GT3 league but I'm sure theres a F3 league out there you can RP to your hearts content.

Also our races get broadcast on youtube with a commentator and it makes me feel like a real race car driver.

I'm always happy to hop in F3 practices if you're looking for other goons to lap with. Sorry if you know me in the discord I can't be bothered to keep track of people with different usernames it's impossible.

anyone else get iRacing credits for some reason in the last couple of months for something?

I have about $6 of credits and I don't know why - it can't be from participation because I haven't raced enough.

My guess is a partial car refund of some kind but I can't think of which one it might be.

Thoughts?

What did they replace it with?

e: ohhh the 991. Yeah maybe. I have a 2.99 credit that's probably from that. It wouldn't be $6.

It was prorated based on long you'd owned the car.

The credit amount was based on when you bought the original 911 GT3R, it could have been six depending on when darth bought it!

And the new one is the 911 GT3 R (992), not to be confused with the 911 GT3 Cup (992) xD
