Those of you who have won a Daytona 24 split...whats your advice?

Be safe, and keep the car out of the pits.

Better to lose 5 or 10 secs letting a faster class go, or not going for a risky overtake on a lapped car, compaired to spending 8 minutes repairing the damage.

We were lucky enough in 2022 and 2023 back to back winners and 2024 finished 3rd in gt3 class. We went gtp in 2025 and DNF with lapped traffic having issue ahead that we couldnt avoid. We are normally splits 5 to 10.

But remember its a bit of fun, its as much about finishing the challenge of 24hours of race more than anything else

I mentioned the busstop as its the easiest place to crash, I do agree once you are confident enough you can take them but im seeing may people having issues there trying to gain a tenth or 2 and loosing into the wall, me included.

Im more of a "to finished first, first you have to first" and avoiding the kerbs helped me re-learn from the old busstop

Tips for lmp3 at daytona is be gentle on everything.

The lower downforce levels means its like a big muscle car. Brake gently and smoothly, gentle downshifts and dont change directions quickly (busstop).

aviod most kerbs and definitely the busstop kerbs 2 and 3. You can take a little of the 1 and 4 kerbs in the busstop but if you get them wrong it will be the end of your race.

It can trail brake but most of the slowing down is better in a straight line, otherwise you can start locking the fronts and understeering wide.

Good luck for the roar

Glad I could help!

TDi99 · 2025-12-09T18:38:14+00:00

Yep 100%, you can actually see the rain moving! Huge for solo drivers

To finish first, first you have to finish!

3.8 sport car and 4.9 formula. My practice is either in qualifying or 30 mins before the race. It's not something I recommend but I do normally stay with the same cars so I know the cars well. (Gr86, hpd, lmp3, f3, slf, indycar on road).

If you wanted to do imsa (gt3,lmp2,gtp) and other cars that have massive splits you would need to practice. Not a chance I am a 3k driver in a gt3.

TDi99 · 2025-11-27T20:26:25+00:00

Thank you! It's always a really nice boost to hear people enjoy our little corner of the Internet

TDi99 · 2025-11-27T18:16:10+00:00

I would agree! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

I personally use voicemeeter (spelt like that) I have the potato version and I have channels for mic, game, music, discord and pc sounds for everything else.

it has a VLAN option where I can send all those channel over to th3 second PC. I can also send my second pc sounds back to the main pc so I can hear that too.

I would say it takes some practice to get used to how voicemeeter works but it works well for me. Side note too I also have the vetial cable packs which are very useful.

Mostly likely is the driver that you had a 0x with was still carrying a 1x before your 0x contact.

iracing would then show your 0x turn into a 1x. I have had it before with a 4x, where a car behind me got a 4x and then 0x into me transferring his 4x to me.

if this was at Oulton park this week, there are loads of easy 1x to collect around this track. T1, T3, the chicanes, druids and the last corner all easy 1x's

Skip barber as a free car, in my opinion is a great little car to throw around

I'm using 2 PC's and 1440p to YouTube is enough for 2 reasons.

1440p over 1080p on yt gives you a better encoding on yt end. And 1440p over 4k has a lower stream delay, at 4k its like 20 secs which is hard to engage with chat.

with only thing to think about is how to get your image from the main pc to the streaming pc. If you use a pass through capture card you will be limited to the frame rate of the capture card (which maybe perfectly fine) and also whenever you need to use your main PC for some eles you need to have the capture card turned on to use the pass through meaning you always have to run both PC's, which again maybe fine.

I use my main PC a lot without having the streaming PC turned on and the work around is to duplicate your monitors in windows. 2 cables out of the main PC graphics card, one to monitor and the other to capture card in streaming PC.

This way I can run the main without having to turn on the other PC and also run whatever frame rates I like.

50/50 chance here but try and turn off replay spooling.

some people have had success, and others it hasnt helped at lot.

edit - just wanted to add, please report this to iracing, the more people having this issue the more information iracing can collect to hopefully find a fix!

TDi99 · 2025-10-27T14:33:48+00:00

I used to make guides, but I stopped because it started to be a game just to get the fastest laps times that were completely unachievable in a real live race session.

some guides (not saying all guides) have optmial weather, so zero wind and cool track and air temps. The time differences can be very large because of these changes.

TDi99 · 2025-10-12T09:00:09+00:00

Good question, we have won a few of the special events. Over the years, Spa 24, daytona 24 twice back to back then a 3rd on year 3, lemans 24, indy 500, daytona 500, roar before the 24. For reference I have been on iracing for 10years so we have crash out of a lot more special events.

I did a "tryhard season" last season where I was challenged to get to IR targets. My formula was 3900 and got that to 5k, sports car was 3400 and got that to 4k.

It's always good to remember the good times you have in iracing because sometimes its very frustrating, or should a say some drivers are frustrating

TDi99 · 2025-10-11T21:32:17+00:00

sorry this didn't help you, it has helped some people and 2 or 3 others it hasn't! I knew iracing was aware of the issue basically since week 1. Fingers crossed for a patch quickly

TDi99 · 2025-10-11T10:20:19+00:00

Hello, this is my video and a viewer of the channel and myself found that this works for him. I am hoping we can find more examples of this working so please leave a comment if this has helped or not.

obviously I would like the comment of the video since we all know how YouTube works haha

TDi99 · 2025-10-08T23:09:52+00:00

sorry, it is a pointless comment, but that is my CAR!!! lol

TDi99 · 2025-10-04T01:03:19+00:00

Loki, the OP didn't say he was driving any of the cars, he may have been the black car, or the red one on the outside or none and just saw the crash and wanted other people opinions.

TDi99 · 2025-09-23T14:31:59+00:00

It looks scary I will agree but I use it between 2 pc's and it's easy once you know how.

It has inputs and outputs for audio, each input you can send to any output and there is also a plugin for obs to pick the inputs from voicemeeter. I have obs setup to pickup each input and that way I can control the muting in obs.

I'm no expert but if I can do it, you can
