Make the Clash a rotating race. On actual race tracks. This would have been so much better at Iowa or Nashville. Have they done anything to improve the short track package this year?

they've tested and tried everything except the thing everyone actually wants (more horsepower)

I was able to finish the Netflix show this week. Overall I guess I like it but I felt like they focused a lot on the drama and suspense of the outcomes of the races rather than the stuff going on outside the cockpit of the car. Drive to Survive seems to focus a lot less on the actual races and only provide clips of the races for context of what is going on within the rest of the episode where as the NASCAR show seemed to sprinkle in other stuff while mainly focusing on the cutoff races themselves. I'd bet that 90%+ of the viewership of that show knows Blaney won the championship so the whole drama of will he or won't he was kind of silly in my opinion. Maybe there are people who have never watched NASCAR but watched Drive to Survive see this and go, awesome a new race documentary series. They watch it and get a great introduction to the playoff format and some of the drivers and they gain a few more new fans but I feel like that is kind of a stretch. Anyway I hope they keep it going but I'd like to see more of the Week in the Life behind the curtain kind of stuff rather than focusing on some pitstop drama from lap 74 of a race that happened 3 or 4 months ago.

I'm watching episode four now, and I've just learned that Denny Hamlin's Dad is about 127 years old. Denny's parents had to be in their forties when Denny was born, or they're voracious smokers and drinkers. Wow. Edit: Maybe a new thread title? Denny Hamln posted:"loving Joey.

So does getting drilled in the LR by a spinning car while trying to miss it and getting a 4x.

Yeah iRacing doesn't attempt to lay blame on the auto system. When I did it over a decade ago they claimed it was fine because safe drivers don't get hit so often. Which sounded to me like "Determining fault is hard".

Wait till you start getting netcode 4x's, always a good time. The picture I attached is the point of "contact" we never got any closer than what is pictured, 4x. It was my only incident of the race and I still lost SR.

It was my only incident of the race and I still lost SR. SR is based on a fixed range of corners. So you could have a clean race fall out of calculation on top of the race with a 4x and thus lose SR. Iracing certainly has problems with SR and it's a cruel system sometimes, but there's no other game (sorry it's a game folks) where people generally race safely and don't corner bomb like you get with other games. The next season is going to introduce rain for some car series, so it'll be a real shitshow.

Oh yeah I totally get how it works just frustrating to drive by a car that was spun out by someone else and get punished for "contact". But yeah the rain is going to really make things interesting. I wonder if it will relax contact points to 2x or something? Like in dirt oval you can make some pretty significant contact and get 0x or 2x instead of the 4x it would be on paved oval. Gonna be real interesting for sure.

Due to the threat of rain, LOL ARCAtona will run following the completion of the Truck race at approximately 10:30pm Eastern. The race will begin on FS2 and shift to FS1 following basketball. SVG DNQ'd but it appears Spire bought him a spot in the field.

why doesn't nascar do rain? is it just that at those speeds the visibility would be zero from spray?

AFAIK no wet tire can pump enough water to maintain grip on an oval.

It's worth noting they've devised a package that can run in damp conditions on short tracks in addition to the standard wet weather configuration for road courses.
