Ok how do you join friends rooms?

Go to lobby and there is a category to search for lobbies that your friends are in. You will find mine there.

Confused about the no tire wear in practice & qualifying. Was something mentioned about that before? Did I miss something?

Its usually the norm in IRS now a days.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Its usually the norm in IRS now a days.

Lobby settings in OP say tire x2, fuel x3.

 

[damonc84]

Would be a question for the Series Host then

 

[CodeRedR51]

Would be a question for the Series Host then

We ended up racing with x3 for both but was just a bit confusing.

Edit: Did anyone save the replay that can share it? I didn't get a chance to save since the room was closed so quickly.

So sorry. I had to go as its middle of the day here at home. I did save the replay and will gladly share it. Tire wear was increased to x3 recently. I thought I posted that.

Qualifying will be with fuel and tire wear off for this season.

 

[Clean Racer]

Thanks to everyone for racing today!!

We had a great turnout and it looked like the whole field was fighting with someone at any given time in the race.

I will update the standings and ballast tracker as soon as possible.

I will try to post a video of the race some time this week.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Good stuff out there. Started the race on RM tires, went full lean during the formation lap (Do we have a speed limit BTW?), then switched between 2 and 3 for the opening stint. Was able to mostly keep in touch, had one hell of a moment trying to avoid @Jeeves_ACBC when he spun in turn 1. I was hard on the brakes and praying.

Pit on lap 20 right behind @SDM_Viper having reeled him in to about a 1.5 second gap. I am absolutely terrible at pit strategy so I went RS tires and topped off the tank. Cost me 3.5 second in the pits but I knew I could make it up. Which, I did faster than I thought, Viper was saving fuel? Started to second guess if I could make it so went into fuel saving mode for a lap and a half on map 3, then went back to map 2. Had a nice over, under pass for the lead with a few laps to go in turn 1, then went to map 1 and concentrated on not making any mistakes. Caught a couple lapped cars on the last lap but stayed back since they were having their own battle and didn't want to interfere.

Video coming of the hair raising moment.

 

[Clean Racer]

Well done @R1600Turbo !

Now you get some ballast!
LOL JK

I will share the replay after the family and I have lunch. I hope the file isn't too large to share.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Now you get some ballast!

Can I put it on the engine?

 

[Clean Racer]

Can I put it on the engine?

Nah, I don't want the ballast to be crippling for drivers. We can all have a conversation about that for the next season.

I battle myself in the race because I only one got 2 laps down

Yeah mate my pit strategy messed me up, for some reason the game thought I was done filling fuel in my car but I never pressed a button to end the fueling process and it sent me out way earlier than I wanted to. I was fuel-saving the crap out of my car. Made a mistake going into turn one and that was it right there. Good fight from beginning to end.

Bad news @R1600Turbo , when I go to share the replay it gets to 98% and the says it is losing connection to the server. I'm pretty sure the file is too big.

I'll try again later.

Can you snip out the clip I need and share that?

we all begin somewhere and EVERY lap makes you better.

I'm so mad about that spin because it was totally unnecessary. I knew I was going a bit wide but for some reason I tried to just keep my foot in it. Just a slight lift and I would've been totally fine.

I cut the gap from 15 secs to 6.5 over the next 25 laps, but I made a mistake on lap 30 then just cruised home nice and easy to consolidate 3rd place.

More ballast for the NSX!
