New setup: slightly lower tire pressures to match advice Sheldon got from the Autobahn guys and ride height adjusted up a tiny bit to not fail inspection on a full tank. Note that you can adjust tire pressure if you wish before getting in the car.. it's one of the pit options. Three of us were all in the 2:03.8xx range after a few laps on full tank. dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25238931/DG%20Sebring%2012hour%20race%20fuel2.stoAlso, Sheldon and I talked about both joining the session, letting our combined iR match with Zed then I can go back to bed and Sheldon runs the first stint. |

Oh and.. many DX11 crashes for me tonight. I'm using DX9 for the race.

I'm uploading a skin to TradingPaints for GBR1 with different accent colour.

Wanted to mention that no one else should join the session until the splits are processed so that the iRatings are not affected.

Yes, if anyone wants to spectate the start then come on TS first to ask if the splits are set.

I switched my work schedule around so I no longer have a conflict. I will "tune in" to the race an hour before my stint. That way I avoid impacting the iRating/split. I am working late tonight (till 3am) and haven't had much time to practice but I trust that the new set up will work great. I really hope we end up in the same split. Really looking forward to racing with you guys again. :-)

Oh, I also had a DX11 related crash so I will be switching back to DX9 as well.

Thanks for the reminder. Everyone please use DX9 for the race. iRacing crashed 4 or 5 times last night in DX11 mode but was happy in DX9. There are many people on the forums with similar issues. There's a new wrinkle that even if you get dropped to the desktop you'll have to wait a few minutes to rejoin as you need to wait for the game to timeout and know you're out of the session. So you get a damaged car, a tow and a few minutes in the penalty box  |

Are the new GT3 cars eligible for this Sebring 12 hours?

Sorry for wrecking the car, guys.
It was fun racing with you guys. I am frustrated at my lack of preparation, TBH. I wasn't happy with my pace so I will have to step up my game. Hopefully some of us can run in a series this season. Formula Renault, BSS or something.
Sorry again guys. I'm off to practice. Lol

Don't worry about it Snappy. Shit happens...hell, I did the same thing. It also re-affirms a suspicion we've had about the optional repair during these long races.....just take it. The beat & battered GBR1 at the finish after I tried shoving the LR into the engine bay. P9 when it was all said and done.  |

Snappy, don't sweat it man. My first stint was an embarrassment. Not sure if Boza ever made it back out after the engine repair. I had a blast. I will always be up for these enduros with you lot. I basically pay for iRacing for these events.
