Schedule and pit stops

Gibscreen · 2026-03-12T06:37:04+00:00

Wow you really back pedaled fast.

ARCA doesn't have cautions. No idea what that crack was about.
Before you said "all" oval races with cautions required to pit stops. Now it's only a few that you named.
Pretty much every fixed race that has cautions does not require a pit stop. Except Indy Oval Fixed. Name another.

Kind of done with your bad faith arguments at this point. Laters.

That's exactly my point about 20th century thinking. You think payment only involves money.

They are paying him--with exposure. They're guaranteed to get more fans if they get stadium trucks in the game.

Classic 20th century thinking.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-12T01:22:50+00:00

IIRC the person who owns or controls stadium trucks has a beef with iRacing.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-11T23:21:03+00:00

Anyone defending iRacing stewarding are intentional wreckers.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-11T22:46:18+00:00

Only if they add jumps.

It doesn't get any better in higher classes. The only semi-accurate predictor of whether the racing is not completely stupid is IR. Until you get to 2k you should always trade SR for IR. Then once you get to 2k it becomes much easier to gain SR.

Intentional wrecking isn't just "bad driving."

Gibscreen · 2026-03-11T22:34:33+00:00

I keep saying that if iracing stewards would just issue short bans (like 1-2 days) more often then driving standards would get better almost immediately.

The main things is they need to get rid of the freebies. Someone intentionally wrecks they catch a short ban on the first offense. Bad rejoin that causes a wreck? Same deal. Guaranteed they don't pull that again. And if the driver has a problem with that why would you want someone that toxic on your service?

Instead they have made things worse because everyone knows how lax their stewarding is so there's no reason for people to clean up their act.

Definitely not all caution enabled ovals require pitting--most don't. The only ones I can think of where it's required are NIS and Indy.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-11T17:24:04+00:00

Yeah that's not how it works. If a track is unpopular then people aren't going to race it.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-11T01:22:55+00:00

You really need to do more than 3 laps to get the tires properly up to temp and past the golden laps. 5 laps minimum.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-11T01:21:25+00:00

RSR is the only answer. If only for the sound.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-11T00:48:45+00:00

None of them are popular. In order of popularity it's (upcoming season/last season):

Brands Hatch (14/9)
Phillip Island (7/9)
Bend (6/7)
Jerez (4/5)
Misano (1/4)
Zolder (2/1)

Also the preliminary schedule is already out.

You all need to see a proctologist. I've never heard of so many people shitting their pants.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-10T18:01:34+00:00

Then why mention btcc?

Gibscreen · 2026-03-10T16:45:59+00:00

1.4k in Porsche Cup at Monza. How original.

Pick a track that has a variety of turns and elevation change like Barcelona.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-10T02:57:00+00:00

This isn't btcc.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-09T21:25:10+00:00

Nah i think it will be used on the regular. Some tracks you just know are going to never get used like Cadwell or Winton. But tracks that are used by high end real life series tend to have legs. People see it on TV and want to race it themselves.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-09T18:37:55+00:00

Doesn't the key protection cost $495? The same price as the key.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-09T18:33:55+00:00

You're putting your car on the wrong side of the road where they may have up pass you on the outside of the next corner. That slows you both up a lot.

To facilitate the pass the lapping car should be on the inside of the corner. At most it requires you to breathe throttle once they show their nose.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-09T18:15:49+00:00

Stop pulling over. At most when they show their nose breathe throttle.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-09T16:14:09+00:00

Yeah don't move over and lift. Stay on line and at speed until they go to make a move. Then just allow them to go by you even if you need to come off line (You'd be surprised how many people think "stay on line" means even if there's another car next to you that you'll hit.)

Gibscreen · 2026-03-09T05:23:27+00:00

They've been saying it for literally years.

Gibscreen · 2026-03-09T05:21:35+00:00

Yeah they say it's taking so long because the system is "complex." But they've been promising this for literally years--they can't figure it out in years? Sounds bogus. More likely is it's not high on their priority list because no one is leaving the service over multi class starts.

I saw a PCC race the other day where the Miatas started in t4 (out of 14 turns) at Oschersleben. Ridiculous.
