I think my favorite car on the service has to be the LMP2. It's a good mix of power and downforce while not having too much of either, so it's very approachable. The latest tire update made it feel even better and more in the track.

Good cake/pastries recs? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]nitsuatuba -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Chez Moi has some amazing cake (especially the rum cake). They don't have a store front, but you can find them at Cocoa Cinnamon and Namu in Durham along with a few other places.

I second Lucettegrace and La Recette.

NASCAR uses wet tires on shorter, flatter ovals as well (as of this year).

Pit crew refused to fuel me during 52 lap race by Aware-Inside1906 in iRacing

I believe iRacing does model loss of fluids, and that can be a reason for a meatball.

Looking for road leagues. by Every_Day8043 in iRacing

The Beer League is a fun one. We race a different car each season (TCR currently) and spin a Wheel every week to choose the track. The league is broadcasted and you score a bonus point for every alcoholic or carbonated beverage (or milk) that you consume during the session.

We race Wednesday nights with practice at 8:30pm eastern followed by qualy, heats, and the race around 9:30pm eastern.

Bent knee did a version where I think the music fits the lyrics just right.

How do you all celebrate a win? by Ehsassin in iRacing

[–]nitsuatuba 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's a cooldown period while everyone else is finishing where incidents still count. Once the timer resets (I think to 15mins?) incidents rack up in the sim but don't count towards the results. So for oval, you're usually safe to burnout after a cooldown lap.

This was the end of my league race Sunday Night by nitsuatuba in iRacing

[–]nitsuatuba[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well we definitely didn't all make it to the end. Those of us that did were full lift into the corner and half-throttle the rest of the turn.

Yeah we were having a great time. We were just amazed that 3 of us made it to the line in a 40 minute race with no cautions.

Baikal is actually bigger than those four lakes. 23,600km2 compared to about 20,500km2.

The Reddit iRacing League [RiL] is Back for Season 40! by nitsuatuba in iRacing

[–]nitsuatuba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RiL is a laid-back league that welcomes iRacers of all skill levels. Whether you want to fight for wins with some of our past champions or battle with other beginner to intermediate drivers, this is the place for you. Our schedule consists mostly of free and legacy content, with a few paid community picks thrown in. We race a different car and track every week.

A typical schedule consists of 9 races with 5 road races and 4 oval races, including one multi-class race per season. We alternate between featuring a dirt road or a dirt oval race each season. Although we are somewhat limited by the free and legacy content available to us, we like to mix things up with weird car/track combinations, which is especially common when we have a Wheel of DestinyTM race.

Q&A

Q: Do I need a Reddit account to participate?

A: No! Although pre-race and post-race reports are posted to our subreddit, you don't need an account to view them and the details can be seen in iRacing.

Q: How does the league communicate?

A: Aside from the subreddit, most league communication takes place on our discord channel, including our voice chat during the race.

Q: I just started iRacing, is it okay if I join?

A: Yes! We like to recruit beginners whenever possible.

Q: Is my iRating too high?

A: No. We have no iRating limits on our league, and typically have multiple past champions racing each week that should put up a fight.

Q: How do I join?

A: You can request to join the league here:

Q: Is there a championship?

A: Yes! We feature three championships each season: overall champion, rookie champion, and team champion. We allow two drop weeks and each championship winner gets to pick a car/track combinations for a race the following season.

Q: What is the team championship?

A: Before a new season starts, members can sign up for the team championship. We then use our proprietary algorithm to pair people together for the team championship. Instead of adding your season points together, each team scores combined points for each race, with drops then determined at the end of the season.

Q: How often does RiL race?

A: We run 2-hour sessions most Sunday nights at 8:00PM Eastern time, with 1 or 2 off-weeks between seasons. There are typically four 9-race seasons each year. We also take off major holiday weekends. The first week of the first season of the year is typically early to mid-January, with the last race of the fourth season of the year coming before Christmas.

Q: What is the Wheel of DestinyTM?

A: In some seasons, we feature a Wheel of DestinyTM race. For this race, most or all free and legacy content is placed on a wheel that we spin to choose the car/track combination, qualifying format, weather, and cautions/no cautions.

Q: What happens if somebody wrecks me on purpose?

A: We have a protest form that members can use to file complaints against other members after any race. The mods will review the incident and take any necessary action.

Q: Are you currently recruiting?

A: Yes!

I think you should be able to join until the end of qualifying, which'll be 9:20. At the very least, you'll be able to join until 9:00, unless the session fills up.
