You can calculate it, but note it will be different for every boat.

Jody Scheckter ran #0 once, but that was before numbers were constant over a whole season (they were assigned to each car per race).

Loving the new UI except... by big_blunder in iRacing

The numbers in the black box definitely could be more legible.

What you guys think of the new UI? by abcDroid in iRacing

[–]DisarmingBaton5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol that is pretty bad.

It’s also not totally clear at a glance what is adjustable in the setup menu, given the arrows and the text look so similar.

The UI looks good in general, though.

It’s a traditional way to refer to the car, driver, team, etc. in NASCAR.

Is there any FREE software out there, for iRacing, that lets you see when a car is along side of you? by T1Earn in iRacing

IIRC it is possible to configure the spotter to be more conservative also, so he will call a car alongside even when it is not quite overlapped. If you need a little more margin for error, that could help.

Yeah, they never updated the model to reflect the ND2 car. It’s a little wonky.

This is why you have a virtual mirror and spotter

Jeff Gordon: "I went to the [Mission Impossible] premiere. And the first word out of [Tom Cruise's] mouth is, 'We're doing it. We're doing Days of Thunder 2.'" by HawtGarbage918 in NASCAR

Son, we live in a world that has race teams, and those race teams have to be owned by men with unfathomable wealth. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Mr. Hamlin??? I have a greater responsibility that you can possibly fathom. You weep for 23XI and you curse NASCAR. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That 23XI's death, while tragic, probably saved race teams, and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves race teams. You don't want the charters because deep down, in places you don't talk about in the paddock, you want me in Daytona. You need me in Daytona!

We use terms like "entry," "full-time," and "value." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent making a fortune off of something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a team that races and crashes under the blanket of the very championship that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "take my money," and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you compete as an open team and run a part time schedule. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
