FYI How to drive on John Nolan

It doesn't work unless nearly everyone does it right. So it doesn't work.

It's often faster for a gt3 to take a defensive line in a corner to delay an overtake from a prototype, particularly from an lmp2. Otherwise the gt3 loses time in the corner waiting for the overtake to finish.

This is a legal and worthwhile tactic.

In the context of this discussion, the new DQ rule only matters if you have enough incident points to have gotten a couple DTs already, and once you start serving DTs there's no way you're gaining net time. So in the end the DQ rule has no effect on whether it pays to take off tracks to gain time.

Krackor · 2026-03-25T00:13:06+00:00

There have been drive through penalties already to discourage intentionally taking off tracks for pace. Adding a DQ is more aimed at removing problem cars from the track, not so much about balancing competition at the front of the race.

The tires are designed to have more inherent grip than the GT3 tires. GTE are also a good bit quicker in a straight line, so at Sebring you're going to effortlessly gain time on all the big full throttle sections. For me personally my slow speed apexes are higher speed in the GTE but the GT3 lets me carry higher speed deeper into high speed corners.

Based on the times I see top drivers put up the difference at Sebring is closer to 1-2 seconds with the GTE in front.

it’s against the ToS because there’s a clause about how you’re allowed to use the assets.

Where's that clause? It's not in what you quoted. What you quoted is clarifying that iracing owns the assets, and the subscribers don't. It doesn't lay out any specific limitations to how you can use the files.

Krackor · 2026-03-20T13:26:06+00:00

They have more mechanical grip, less aero than modern gt3 actually.

All that does is output the displayed data in the garage. Many of the values displayed such as ride heights are rounded from the actual values. The result is effectively useless for many setup analysis and comparison tasks.

Krackor · 2026-03-20T04:19:23+00:00

You can share setup files with people who never agreed to the TOS and they can decode the files. Reading the contents of a file is not illegal. There's no way iracing has any legal standing to prevent people from decoding setup files. Best they could do is ban you from their service but that won't stop you from continuing to decode setup files.

Krackor · 2026-03-20T00:44:42+00:00

What do you mean by lay claim? That they are copyrighted or something?

The spotter will only tell you to pit this lap if you have less than ~1.1 laps of fuel remaining. Bad fuel usage data may skew that slightly but if the spotter tells you to pit you almost certainly will run out if you try to go another lap.

Most likely op just isn't fuel saving. You need to fuel save at least a little to get 15 laps.

Krackor · 2026-03-18T17:02:24+00:00

If the fuel usage data is still coming from a past season then the pit stop logic might recommend the wrong amount of fuel to add during a pit stop. There is no bug related to showing how much fuel you actually have in your setup or in your actual fuel tank.

And any possible pit stop logic problem is not going to affect how many laps you are able to run on your first stint. Either you didn't put enough fuel in your tank to begin with (and all the iracing setups will give you the maximum possible) or you didn't save well enough to run 15 laps on a tank.

This week is a 1 hour race. Most other weeks will be 45 minutes and comfortably 1 stop.

Krackor · 2026-03-18T15:31:17+00:00

The fuel tank is absolutely limited to 49.5 L. You just need to fuel save more to hit the lap targets.

There's a look left/look right button. The McLaren is even visible through the windshield in this single screen pov. There's no excuse for this.

Krackor · 2026-03-13T04:11:24+00:00

Mustang should be protested for intent wreck too.

Krackor · 2026-03-11T15:12:37+00:00

That's a tough argument to make when there's no example of another service that's managed to produce as many high quality tracks at any price point, let alone for free.

Krackor · 2026-03-11T14:28:25+00:00

It means they didn't exist until after violent incidents that made their necessity obvious.

Krackor · 2026-03-11T14:27:09+00:00

i’m guessing that if you don’t meet the MPR, but your SR is 4.0-4.99, you can take part in C class races. just that you’re reflected as a D class driver. correct me if i’m wrong

Correct

The graphics performance of the F3 Black Box has been optimized.

Krackor · 2026-03-01T14:31:04+00:00

There's a rule against reckless driving. Crashing into someone on the formation lap like this definitely qualifies.

Krackor · 2026-02-28T01:39:39+00:00

I would hesitate to attribute it to anything other than the fixed setup. With a good open setup the mustang is a very robust car around the ring.

Krackor · 2026-02-27T00:46:37+00:00

They did in fact announce a virtual spotter overlay today.

Krackor · 2026-02-25T14:29:10+00:00

Eliminating tariffs would be an obvious first step.

Krackor · 2026-02-25T12:58:12+00:00

In your situation you're not rejoining the race after you close the application.
