iRacing Road Racing Event #2 - Sunday, March 10

[zero7159]

Date: March 10, 2013
Time: 8:30am PST
Car: Spec Racer Ford (aka "SRF") (included in base package)
Track: Charlotte Road Course (included in base package)
Warm Up: 20 minutes
Qualifying: 10 minutes, 4 laps
Race: 30 minutes
Tune: Open (not fixed). If we are nice to Helios, maybe he will develop a tune for those of us that cannot use a wrench.

Keep in mind that we will have to start on time, since there is no way I can change the start times once we are in the sim. You can be late for warm up and can come and go as you please. I don't know whether you can come in once qualifying begins so don't risk it. There will be unlimited Fast Repairs, so no one is left completely in the dust due to a mistake. Since you all seem to be road purists, this will be a standing start.

Please note that the SRF is our car of choice for the foreseeable future for our Sunday road course series, with us only changing the tracks for each event, ala V8 Supercars.

There's a nasty over-crest corner on this track that should be fun with these cars.

Is this the Full Road Course or the Infield Road Course?

Full, I don't think infield was an option for these cars.

Thanks!

Yeah, I ran it last season in the SRF official series, and it was fun. We are doing it at night, which will make it a little different than the last time we ran this race together.

Anyway to setup a practice at night?

Sure, when do you want to do it? How about this Sunday after the iRacing GT one off road event? We will finish that by 10:30am PST.

Or, if you want a practice during a weekday at night, let me know what works and I will schedule it.

[zedarchitect]

I meant on our own but that is nice of you to offer. I am likely out of commission this weekend because my wife is out of town so I'll be Mr. Mom. Nights, after I get the kids in bed, will be the only time I can get on. How much does a session cost? I may host my own to get used to it.

[F1Fan07]

You don't have to pay to practice. The Test tab on the main page will let you pick the track and night time lighting.

[zedarchitect]

Ah...I never saw the lighting options...thanks F1

FYI, I just read the following in a thread about another league...

Charlotte night was tested a year or more ago in a hosted session. If you know the layout well, it can be done, but the flood lights don't reach into the infield and the SRF has no headlights of its own. A pity, but it was more of a fun joke than a good race.

I ran ran a couple of laps and it is pretty dark in the infield sections. hard to see the track.

OK, I should probably change it to daylight.
