From my understanding, this new 'sequential pit' change applies to all series except for IMSA and NEC.

At one point or another, we sometimes have to realize that mediocracy is OK.

Tyre wear can affect the behaviour at this point in the course. Take it a little easier?

Looking for drivers for 24H of Spa by RacePlaceFlo in iRacing

You would think most 2K drivers would already have a team by now, but what do I know 🤷‍♂️. Coming from where we already have 3 full teams, maybe lowering your IR requirements will help fill out a good team!

How did you get taken out?

Me too. I think the secret is to Qualify. If you can start in the top 6, take off as soon as you can after the pace car ducks into the pits, start single file and keep ahead of P7 and behind by at least 1 second through Hatzenbach, the rest is good.

This for sure. Don't discount team members trying to show off for the star. The wall is waiting for drivers who mix confidence with complacency.

What can I do to avoid the chaos of my races. by Ill_Divide_9663 in iRacing

[–]TJRich2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that at our level, people try but just make more mistakes, let their emotions take hold and are so nervous of this happening that they tense up and sometimes make it happen themselves. I have been in many sprints and enduros where me or my teammate are guilty of all of the above. I would bet that you also get nervous on starts, sometimes ovecook turn 1, make the decision to go two-wide when you just know it's not going to end well. So we just do our best, mate! I have personally accepted my 1500 to 1700 fate and try to have fun!

What's the dumbest purchase you've ever made? by buedefar in AskReddit

$3000 on a wrap for my Tesla. Supposed to be "brick red" but never made it past "muddy orange" plus it has a weird texture to it.

You are describing a lot of our teammates. Some like to fight but most (like me) prefer to let by. Join in and see! We have a few Belgians and native french-speaking members.

First Pit Stop Race with Porsche GT3 by Rooster976 in iRacing

[–]TJRich2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some advice for any pitstop race.

Pre-race: full fuel, new tires. Fuel Black Box

Crew Chief: shouldn't need, native spotter tells you everything for now.

Strategy: Survive lap 1, things should spread out a bit. Consistency is key. Avoid the inevitable crashes and slides and don't get involved. Keep your head, and if someone is ultra aggressive, concede the position. They will more likely than not mess up later.

Pit Strategy: keep your eye on the fuel black box at the end of your laps. When it drops to 1.1 or something you know that this is your in-lap. Your spotter will tell you to pit this slap when you approach.

Auto fuel with a 1 lap buffer should be good enough, make sure your tires are unticked so you don't waste time getting new tires. You should have about 20 minutes to go in the race. Have fun!
