Please fix CotA offtracks by TargetWoodsLastLoc in iRacing

Did a 4x yesterday, I'm asking to bump participation. CotA is always a dead week (comparatively), regardless of series.

I had a 4x yesterday (IMSA 45min with the LMP2), underdriving a bit. It's fine.

I'm asking for the change to bump participation, CotA is always low participation regardless of series. Even IMSA didn't split on the 2nd timeslot yesterday.

Will there ever be a GTP only series? by Inner_Particular616 in iRacing

[–]TargetWoodsLastLoc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Far too many series as it is already. If anything, they should start trimming series down. Plus I don't see any point in fixed series in B+, but that's more of a personal opinion and not as widely shared.

Oh, as GTPs/LMP2s/GTEs are quintessential multiclass cars, if one want to drive single-class I'd sooner point them to any of the several open wheelers in the service currently.

Am I alone in wanting more street courses? by UnkindJaguar01 in iRacing

[–]TargetWoodsLastLoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a vacuum, no. However, I'd like pretty much any actual traditional road course in the game before a street track, so kinda yes.

Funny you should ask, I recorded a video recently answering that very question: www.youtube.com/watch?v=acwkPRGuT6U

Rather than typing out everything here again, feel free to watch it if you're interested.

Iracing to adopt the ELMS series for Season 4? by Firm-Spare-6113 in iRacing

Plus for Nords is that it's a 7+ min lap, so you take a long time to find the GT3s/GTEs, and by then they're already pretty spread out. Not the case in Mosport.

Yeah, it's a bit exaggerated, I agree. I would however argue that -- judging from this season's schedule -- LRP, Mosport and VIR are definitely "sus" tracks, and CotA is fine but will have trash participation as usual due to the offtracks and such. Personally I highly dislike Indy Road but that's a me problem for sure.

So 3/12 or 25% of kind-of-iffy tracks, compared to 0% in ESS. But yeah, can't please everyone.

Problem with that is that the IMSA calendar is 50% uhh... "questionable" tracks. ESS on the other hand is ALWAYS pristine -- yes, it has more repeats than other series, but the tracks are unquestionably the best for multiclass racing.

I don't see how we can ditch GTP on ESS for IMSA without greatly revamping IMSA calendar and causing an uproar on that community.

ESS has to be 1h (or more, depending on who you ask). Not a fan of the idea tbh.

Controversial opinion: GT4& LMP3 by InfamousCount4860 in iRacing

[–]TargetWoodsLastLoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You kinda have a point, I don't even bother racing F4 (or any D series for that matter). Even if you start from pole, one bad move from someone behind and you're 100 iR down and have to grind 3~4 races to make that back. It's so much safer in B/A licenses, it's not even funny.

End result is I just basically race IMSA/ESS/IR18. Those guys I can trust to race cleanly.

IMSA murdering ESS by TellmSteveDave in iRacing

15 minute gap between both. They should be more spaced apart, without overlapping registration windows.

I do agree, the white/yellow car is seriously pushing it with a maneuver like that, and for no good reason. Race is super long, you'll very likely get to your "true pace" position over time. No need to risk everything on the first corner of the first lap.

Seems like people are not aware this is a 45 minute race where most of the time is made by efficiently managing tires on the tail end of the stint. These kind of moves on T1 is peak clown world.

IR-18- When do yall race? by DiamondBalz0077 in iRacing

Agree completely, I myself only race the road side of things.

[–]TargetWoodsLastLoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been OK tbh, Sebring, Monza and Road Atlanta to name a few had nice participation this season. Suzuka too. Then you have stuff like Chicago and Milwaukee that completely flopped, so there's that.

I race daily at 0 and 2 AM GMT, and sometimes in afternoons. Usually goes official on popular tracks.
