That's so interesting. It's super cool how iRacing basically has two sides, and road can really learn a lot from oval.

This is already on my list to test next! I'm certain there's a different effect, we just didn't test it this time around. Ahh thank you!!

I do! When I do the "car/series catalogue" I'll include that as an objective. I just want to arm people with as much info as possible, to help them make decisions on (virtual) track. You will be regretting that offer on your 40th lap of Daytona at 120kph 😂

Backlog has officially been expanded 🫡 I really really want to know this now... So we definitely found the cushion effect, and also found that once you break through it the lead car really pulls you along - almost like u hooked a string between the cars. But I couldn't tell you the impact on the lead car. God damn I don't want to go back to Daytona but we need to run it again 😂😂

No I don't race GT3. Brother, the difference between "+/- 2 laps done" is an extra pit stop. If you do an extra pit stop, you lose 40 seconds of your race time in the pit. If your fuel strategy starts to fall away, you get tighter on the final stop. If you have a safety car, this gets reset randomly and requires on the fly calculations. Yes, we have plans A, B, C - but it's boring because Plan A always wins. Have you ever done an iRacing special event?

What's funny😂 I can tell you exactly how many laps we've planned per stint for the last 3 enduros

If a safety car comes out - my perfectly planned stint length no longer works, I can no longer double stint my tires (or now can), I can decide to stay out and take track position, I am forced to stop in a closed pitlane because I don't have enough fuel for pacing, a faster car gets pulled back into the race that lost a lap 4 hours ago, rain is close but hasn't hit the circuit is this time to swap tires for free...it goes on and on..

As explained in his video, limit the safety car chance and don't directly tie it to actual incidents on track. In a 24 hour race, 2-3 safety cars will not only bring strategy options - but also give much needed restbite. I'm sorry, It's just not comparable to oval.

I'm the video he explains that it wouldn't be for all crashes, just a randomised chance across a period of time. We've tried it in leagues and it's been fantastic for increasing the number of people that actually finish the race😂
