All this just makes me so glad I wasn't involved last night...

Apart from the first half, I actually enjoyed some of it. Staying away from the packs usually helped to avoid cautions. Caution periods were awful though.

 

[Ninners]

My ride heights were 42 for both I think for the race. I wasn't so nice to the tires though. I could get 15-18 depending on how hard I drove it. I was 40.8s on low fuel, and I had a 40.3 for the fastest lap

My rear ride height was lowest and front was 45.


The amount of cautions in the first half of the race was pathetic. That and it took us 3 attempts just to start the race.

Lap 140 was my first ever lap lead in the Indy 500! I lead the lap by not pitting under yellow! . That is what I am happy about!

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Bony pitting that a euphemism?

 

[JakobNascar88]

Lol I mess up on my typing error. I meant by not pitting under yellow when other people pitted. Also I lead the field for the restart!

 

[Ninners]

I think I led something like 40 laps or a bit more even.

Yea we had a rough go of it. About 3 cautions after you had to go, we actually got a few runs in

 

[Ninners]

More like 6 or 7

 

[Furinkazen]

I led 2/3 laps

I'd re run those last 60 laps all day long.

I missed loads of fun and racing I guess

Well tbh me and Niop nearly quit early on.

Yea a 4 wide finish. I even lead about 3-4 laps in there. Uneven tire wear killed me though. I was having to pit with 4 on the right rear with 7 on the right front and 9 on the left sides

Was my car smoking much? It felt really stable (had a little bit of aero on front and rear).

I think everyone smoked at some point in the race.

Not quite. I had my James Bond spy car smoke screen going sometimes. I remember drifting turn 3 on the outside of Spurgy for the lead at least twice.

Lots more grip out there than in real life

@Yeratel84 had what can only be described as a terrible dog of a car - that thing seemed to be wanting to wreck itself so many times.

 

[Ninners]

My tyres on the first stint after about 28 laps was LF:8 LR:9 RF:6 RR :6. I even wanted to stay out a bit longer but decided to come in which I kinda regret as I was towards the back and got damage on opposite corners somehow. I came off Turn 1 in a heated battle for 9th I think and got edged against the wall and got RF damage and then noticed I had LR damage too which made it tricky to drive but manageable.

Cleared that pack and slowly caught Furi before Yera lost it and I just about missed them. Dived in to repair the damage as the caution was inevitable and me & Niop just made it in before the pits were closed moving us up to 2nd & 3rd.


The car felt slightly edgy at the end of the first stint but I'm confident I could have stretched it further.

Me and CAMi tried negative rear toe in practice. Ended as you'd expect

Odd, I had rear toe and it was fine for me. Positive toe felt slow and heavy but stable.

Must be the driver then.

I understand there was a upgade to the PS3 OS overnight. Has it had a effect on the saved data in regards to the lobby templates, @Furinkazen?

That was PS3, not GT6.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

I'll confirm it was a PS3 update, shouldn't take too long to do as it took me around 10 or so minutes with my poor internet

 

[Furinkazen]

Start procedure update - No overtaking until after finish line on a restart (unless indicated by race control ordering lapped cars to the side out the way, or a lapped car communicating that they will be moving out the way.).

That should stop those big jump starts of yours

 

[Furinkazen]

That should stop those big jump starts of me and my Skype buddies

On behalf of most of Indycar, fixed.
