Practicing with other drivers is fun and competitive on its own and there is not always someone on the dedi-server the same time as you or maybe the server isn't up yet. Here with RaceRoom Racing you can join the SRO leaderboard and set a best lap for others to practice against or you against their ghost car.

Good Luck and may the fastest be with you

 

Have to go into work on monday and so might not be back in time.

Do you guys notice there is no actual reference to the date of when this? I had to doub;e check in the other thread.

90 minute race, in-game start time noon

 

I have found the settings for a 6 hour simulated daytime lighting. The race in game time is 13:00 to 19:00 hour. It doesn't get dark and no headlights is needed. Expect track temperatures to vary during the race.

 

So i make it that its 2 stops needed then? I will need 300L in total.

You can preset the first stop, trying to set the other while driving will be fun!

 

Time Scale: Custom (Spa simulate 6 hours. 13:00 to 19:00 hrs track time)
Mandatory Pitstop: One pit stop with all 4 tires plus fuel.
Practice your Pit-stops!

Reminder:

• Pit stop presets, don't forget to activate them.
  
• Mandatory pitstop is not set by game. You must strategically do it on your own.

 

Mandatory Pitstop is after the first 15 minutes and before the last 15 minutes of the race.

Reason I shut off Mandatory in game pitstop is because it may get complicated for drivers still struggling with pit stops. This way no one will get DQ.

Remember 4 tires and fuel for mandatory pitstop or you will be penalized after the race two positions

 

I have 7 pit stop presets for my drive in this event. It is a good idea to do this to get through the pits faster and less complicated. I always have repairs on except for the fuel splash.
Remember to set up your buttons in the assignment to switch which pit stop preset you choose. You must have your selection made before you cross the pit entrance line.

 

Hi
Congrats to Ken for the win and also Tanner real good pace both off you.
Mark was also fast, try to hang on to him , when I had one off my many driving
error . They where to many to count yesterday

Qual 1 was a bit unexpected but nice too see the Audi could be fast.

Race : My main error was when I did a second pit strategy , and forgot to clearify with
the green. And going in pit behind Mark I just waited and nothing happend, and then I
understood and try to fible in pit could get them to change one set off tyre, thats all and
with only 10 l left I had to go in once more. Well some day I hope to do a clear Pit Stop

Thanks to admins for all the fun

 

It was really hard to behaive the car all race and at the same time to push to chase Ken. I did early pits to get advantage of fresh tires but I lost much time especially in first pit that I did not settle the car right in the pit box. That made the gap over 15 s. The last pit stop was ok but Ken earned 20 s I dont know how he managed, probably he will clear my curious.
Last stint I was behind 36 s. Pushed the car everylap with solid pace, decresed under 10s through last 3 laps then I noticed fuel was not enough. Grrrr, again consecutive 2 race. I got easy on throttle just to finish the race with zero fuel.
Congatulations to all challanging in the race. Well done Ken, was awesome pace.

 

You got no tire change? :O 2 sitnts with 1 set? If so, you are magician on tires : ) jealous well done my friend.

 

I just dont know what it is with Raceroom. Its the worse looking game out there but runs horribly or the cockpit view in triple screen just doesnt look right.

Driving Spa was a strange thing Almost like i was completely divorced from the driving experience! I can only describe it as being like low frame rate, with a slightly delay to everything. Plus Cockpit view felt so slow even compared to ACC.

Anyway.... I've been overdoing racing a bit since getting my rig a couple of months ago. Maybe its because its a different seating position but my left shoulder is getting quite painful. Felt ok after saturday nights race but on sunday the temptation was too great; Audi at Brands GP in ACC but the FFB and the nature of the track with the sudden, sharp corners just irritated things more.

So... My shoulder was just getting more and more painful after the first stop and lapping on my own wasnt much fun. Sorry.

 

Check your arms position against wheel. I dont expect shoulder aches/injures up to sim but position and how much you make busy front deltoids. But If you want stay out of pain, suggest you some push ups to set your arms little bit ahed of your shoulders on the ground 1 hour before the race, 3 sets max. This make them warm and stronger for any issue during race even your wheel reaction gains.

 

Sorry to hear about you´r issues Mark
I know how the feeling , when all is so much fun you just like to go on and on.
I also "overdrive" my self for 6 months off nearly 24/7 sim racing.

About RRE can´t say that I agree with you , but I only got one screen so that could be the case.

I have some problem with the Audi and my driving style seems that I some time can have the car
at a near stand still across the track, and no way off save it then.
