No Future in Grand Turismo?

In other forms of sim racing, top-tier drivers can earn a full-time living racing with a team. Take Keegan Leahy, who won last year’s eNASCAR championship on iRacing while driving for Danny Hamlin’s 23XI crew. Leahy held a Reddit AMA last November, where one fan asked him about his parents’ reaction when they learned he could turn sim racing into a career. Leahy’s response describes a scenario that doesn’t seem feasible in Gran Turismo:

It was a really slow build up because it really did happen quite slowly. The prize pools kept going up, sponsor interest picked up, teams started paying, etc. The only single “moment” I could think of would be when I quit the warehouse job I was doing during University, to do driver coaching and content creation with Virtual Racing School.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: New Hampshire

Ellis –   p22 – ran around the top 10 most of the night basically q laps every lap trying as hard as i can to keep what I got – final restart was p7 but got wrecked hard and finished p22.

  • Rochette-P7 I finally did it, a NiS top 10 since Kansas in May. Twice had cars wreck in front of me and tagged em got Damaged fixed. The 2nd tims i stayed in the pits alittle too long and exited after thinking i got clear but nope got flagged so had to do a pass through. When did the pass through caution came out feet before the pit line so had to do it again. Was down 3 laps but attrition got me back on lead For the final 10 to go
  •  
  • Stephen-wrecked out
  • Spiker – P18, Started P17.  Not fast at all.  During a re-start, I hit the car in front of me who checked up for the car in front of him.  I was turned into the T1 fence halfway through the race.  Ran most of the race underpowered finished P18 after surviving the last lap, front stretch mele. Finished the Race 16X
  • Saturday Fixed –
  • Sunday Open
  • Rochette-Psomething went to avoid a wreck into 1 hot the brakes little too hard and sent myself into the inside wall with the wheel wabble of death
  • Hall – p 30  caught in two early wrecks, suddenly have 14x, taking it mild and one dude dive bombs, then another dude gets loose, i’m up top 3 wide and a forth dude punts the bottom guy and destroys my car.  Not a good return
    •  
  • Sunday fixed 
  • Mike –p18 – Actually crossed the line 2nd but was backwards got my 17x so it put me 18th – 22 cautions – 
  • Stephen – p 3

Race :  Pocono

Wed Fixed

  • Wed Open:
    • Hall –p.7  almost got snubbed by pit strategy, but a lap car saved all the people to stay out on the first caution.
    • Ellis – p4 – at the initial start someone spun out and destroyed the field i got wiped out over 2 minutes damage – had to stay out for a wave around while others that pitted had to pit again for penalties. We ended up w a stop w 60 to go so did a gf stop w 30 to go which basically short pitted everyone – ended up p2 but faded back a bit before caution – restart p5 got to p2 but could not catch the leader and at the end faded back to fifth
    • Kyle P 
    • Tony R – P5 hell yea ran great all night was in 2nd on the leaders bumper coning to the white and slammed the wall out of 3. Man felt good to have a front runner car and not get wrecked by stupid stuff 
    • Tyler – P6 FINALLY A TOP 10! Glad to get a solid finish. Crazy start of the race when half the field got wiped out. I made it through the wreck but net coded with a 4x. Kept the car clean the rest of the night and settled in with a tight car. Late race caution after pit strategy shook things up but I defended well. Stoked to get a good run. Excited for Sunday Fixed. 
    • Tom D – P3 started in the back to get a handle on how these cars would be in a pack.  Was able to work my way up into the top 10 before lap 20.  Final stop with 20 to go I was able to get myself into 3rd. A few nice battles back and forth and I was able to bring the car home in 3rd.  I’ll take a top 5. 
    • Stephen – wrecked out before taking the green flag
    • Bobby -pP20, my fault on pit exit, but not bad after being off for like 5 months, ran near/in top 10 otherwise
  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p13 – Started 10th worked my way up to the lead, ran top 5 or so, took the lead at 23 to go kept it until about 14 to go and faded hard, hit the wall hard and faded more – 
    • Rochette P whats better than a 5th? How bout a 2nd great fun race was hoping for a long run at the end where i was gonna most likely win on fuel but noooo someone had to bring out a caution with 10 to go. Restarted 3rd chased the leader for about 5 laps but was just too tight at the end of it… first Podium since Kansas and 1st runner up since that faithful night with that dirty Bristol

David – p11.  I was really about a 20th car in the this top split, won the coin toss on fuel strategy

Official Series

  • SPIKER
    • Late Model Open Langley, P P10.  Just simply out matched.  I can’t speed in the car.
    • Late Model Fixed, P P11.  Same as the open, the Winner of the Race had a 9K+iR
    • Nascar B-Open, Pocono, P11, Started P13.  Had good long run speed.  GWC at the end killed my momentum.
    • Nascar B-Open, Pocon, P17, DNQ – Spun out after making late adjustments to my Q-Set.  As a result., started in the back where on lap 1, a backmarker doored me out of 1 sending me into the wall.  Again, good long speed run.  Gambled on staying out w/5 to go.  Backfired, P17

Mick Claridge World Tour

Mick Claridge, who is riding his bike around the world heard that we mentioned his story and messaged the show to let us know.

Hi guys ,
It was so cool to get a mention on your show but I gotta clear one thing up ???? I’m not a 15 time world champion on iRacing . I’m 15 time Grand Prix legends champion. Big big difference. I’m not a pro driver at any stretch of the imagination. Those pros in the WDC are different level.

Anyway.  Like I say it was great to get a mention about the ride and to whoever it was who said they’ll buy me a beer in Phoenix? Consider that a given. I never pass up a beer!

So the ride is progressing nicely and I’ve already met 10 or so iracers on my travels through Europe . I’m in turkey at the moment and heading east into Central Asia and the next guy to meet is in Singapore !

So thanks for mentioning the ride and if you guys would like to meet up just put your names down on my discord page and I’ll add you to the list . The list is getting pretty full now as I think I’ve got about 70 guys to meet..

Thanks again
Mick Claridge

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Atlanta

  • Ellis –   p8 – ran top 10 top 5 all night got shuffled a few times – ended up doing gf stop near end, was p5 and ended up 10th after cycles – not sure what went wrong.
  • Spiker – P19, Started P3 Ran up front and one point Kyle, Tom, and myself we were running 1-2-3.  During our first “long run”, the car became looser, I dropped to the end of our pack of five.  This was when a lapper decided bup draft down the back stretch sending me into the outside wall breaking my RF.  While waiting for repairs, the same lapper takes out Tom
  • Sunday Open
  • Tom D – p1.  After a bad race on Friday night that saw me get crashed out by a lapped down car racing too hard with the lead card, I was looking forward to Sunday with a pretty good hot rod under us.  I qualified 6th.  Ran in the top 3 most of not all the race.  Lead 51 laps.  Got the lead on the second to last restart.  Had to fight off a GWC to capture my 2nd NiS win of the season and my 20th overall NiS win. Very proud

  • Sunday fixed 
  • Mike –p2 – Had a good race stephen and I in control much it running 1-2 on the outside mostly – at one point i pushed him in the trioval and he turned off my nose – i felt so bad as we were definitely in position to win. I went on without him and quickly got the lead – final lap they ganged up on me 2nd went onto the apron really low and edged me out.
  • Stephen – p 6 – Mike wrecked me but w 5 to go came from 20th to 6th
  • Tyler – P 15 – Solid race, played it safe by staying in the back. Saved enough gas to make it on one stop but a few cautions at the end changed things up. Had a lot of fun watching Mike and Stephen in the front. Was reporting from the back to help them keep digging. Overall just glad to be back in the sim after a eventful time away.

Race :  New Hampshire

Wed Fixed 

  • Wed Open:
    • Hall –p.
    • Ellis – p24 – i was hot garbage out there – quick on short runs but junk on long runs – got as high as 11th but then fell like a rock through long runs….
    • Tyler – p26 self spun 2 times. Got caught on pit road twice as I was trying to repair. Then a black flag for passing a car that did not go on the outside line. I started on the inside??? Not a good race at all. Too many mistakes on my part and not enough talent. Gives thanks to Mike for helping me improve rolling through the center and work on balancing my craft. 
  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p Started fifth first 30 lap run and got the third faded to six during pitched ops I got turned completely around trying to get into my box and ended up at the back for the next start. You’re the middle part of the race I got up there around 10 where I lost it once but was able to regain my track position flip in a wreck but stayed out regardless of the damage with 39 to go running ten. 
    • We had a bunch of caution and running the five or three to go for the final restart. Then some guy ran over some guy and took out a half dozen cars including me I could not finish the race

Official Series

  • Ellis – f2000 – Sebring- Spun out on lot four didn’t hear anything but then somebody ran over me DNF
  • Started p6 – ended up spinning off again dnf
  • Start p3 – ended up p4 after spinning on my own, a car came by and took off my left front – did a tow and a quick fix and went back out was p6 got to p4 first finish! But 9x out of 11x
  • Started p5 got p4 – had a spirited battle trying get p3, i got him on the last lap as i passed it appears we hit so as i approached the checker i slowed and gave him back the spot… checked the replay and it was netcode.

  • SPIKER
    • Nascar B-Open, New Hampshire – P10, Started P9.  For me, it was a good run.  One caution around lap 20 which allowed us to race the final 60 laps incident free.  This was Top Split, I gained some iRating.  The winner of the Race was 6K+

Nascar B-Open, New Hampshire – P9, Started P8.  This race was unusually terrible for my time slots.  80 Laps Scheduled, We ran 90, and 48 were under caution.  I had a P6 on the radar when under caution, the driver behind me made an abrupt left turn, clipping my right rear, sending me into the fence.  Car survived the GWC.


League / Hosted Races

  • FastTrack League –
    1. Joe – 15
    2. Greg p 3

Mike – p12 – ran as high as p2 in the early parts but as the race wore on got tighter and tighter – hit the wall a few times lost all my track position

Atlanta Infield

Staff member Kevin Iannarelli posted on the forums that, “The infield road course at Atlanta was scanned during the scanning of the new Atlanta oval configuration. With the recent acquisition of our new laser scanner, collecting the data for the RC track took as little as an hour, it only made sense to spend the time to gather the data. Our old method of laser scanning would of added an additional day during the collection process.  Having the RC in the screenshot of the point cloud should give some insight of a future update to the infield road course.”

Cloud Slow Down?

Hello Boys,
Your Welsh correspondent here again.
Your Team Rookie mentioned that at the start of a session his connection was really laggy.  He felt it could be Trading Paints.  He should also check to see if he has OneDrive or other file Cloud services.  I found that after a session I was uploading huge zipped files of telemetry.
If I race I now pause synching and my connection stays green.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Road America

  •  
  • Adam -p 
  • Hall – p 14,  had top 10 speed, but took the wrong brake marker in turn 1 again and lost 20 seconds in the grass.
  • Spiker – P17, Had a few off-tracks that lost me a handful of positions.  I got faster as the run went along. I started at an .17-.18 lap and finished running low .14’s. This was my third start in this car/series ever, I started to better understand braking in the corners with a quarter of the race to go
  • Sunday Open
  • Rochette-P-I suck spun it on lap 1 and got hit. Tried to drive but blew up about 10 laps later 

Hall – p 8 Top split,  very happy with this result, was in a three way fight for 6th, but the other two made less small mistakes than I did.  Overall enjoyed this car at Road America as long as my GTE muscle memory didn’t kick in on turn 1

Race :  Atlantadega

  • Hall –p. 5.  Absolutely nutty race.  First, right coming to green a car blinks and looks to have a hardware failure.  I get caught up in the carnage, and think I’m gonna have to stay out because of the early caution pace car bug.  However, even the leader has to stay behind the pace car so I think it didn’t happen.  I was wrong.  At 1 to go the whole field that didn’t pit including the leader got a wave by.  So I was trapped a lap down cause I fixed 40 seconds of damage with a bunch of other people.  Caution around 20 laps, I take wave by.  Leader is 6 seconds behind me at 50 laps, caution.  Back on Sequence.  Then just work my way up through passing and some luck evading crashes.  Final Restart driver in front of me spins tires, but makes a hugely helpful move and pulls down and I dodge right.  I managed to work around the outside up to 5th.
  • Ellis – p5 – Sketch City – very sketchy out there for sure – ran top 10 all night led some laps and near the end had the position of being the 1st car w tires. Had a guy turn off my nose twice, same guy, took out my teammate. Almost had enough to win it if i had just one more lap…
  • Kyle P Pwrecked out

Tony R – P19 got Scooby-Doo’d with 30 to go was doing ok just hanging out when a car wrecks and no where to go

  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p winner winner chicken dinner – ran really good just riding top 5 took the lead w about 35 to go and didnt give it up. Right up until the end we got a late caution i pitted with others while 7 stayed out – i was first on tires and got a few spots before another caution – then just had to bring it home!! 2nd win of the year, 82nd career win
    • Rochette P didn’t make it to lap 15 thought i had a wreck cleared when some asshole just came back up ob the track and killed my car. I cant catch a break. 
    • David – p29, taken out by and dumbass trying to pass on the apron.  He apologized but will be protested successfully,  iRacing needs to get the word out that passing under and coming up and dooring the guy running the inside line properly isn’t allowed.

Official Series

  • A Open
  • Ellis – Started p7, wrecked out big time by a blinker i went to the apron to get around he still slammed me.
  • Rochette- P7 somehow got pole from driving like i was lost. Spent most of the race trying to figure out Atlantadega. Drives so damn weird. Was 3rd with 3 to go and got wide and lost the inside and than hit the wall on white and wheel wobbled it to a 7th. 
  •  
  • Ellis – Skippy – Summit Point – started p15 – ended p12
  • Started p12 – finished p8 had to hold off faster cars but got it done.
  • Started p12 – lap 1 turn 1 they stack off i wreck – limp it around and take the fast repair – p19 made it up to p14
  • Started p9 – drove it up to 4th before the guy behind me trys to overtakes and takes us both out – dnf
  • F2000 – phoenix – 1st start ever and I win it! Led the most laps – I had to earn it though and had to battle several guys all the way to the end.
  • Got barely clipped in lap 1 and damage and faded to the back, last on lead lap
  • Started 5th was leading most laps leading at end but 2nd edged me at line, p2 
  • Started P5 end up winning the race at the line. Donnie watched.
  • SPIKER
      • Nascar B-Open, Road America, P4, Started P2, Would have finished P2, but I had an off at T1 with 10 to go. 
  • Nascar B-Open, Atlanta SS, P13, Started on Pole (w/ a Pro in the room).  Mike spotted.  We ran up front leading 16 Laps.  I got tangled up in two incidents resulting in 3 min of damage.  Both incidents I got called out for, luckily, w/ my chat turned off, I didn’t hear nor care knowing I wasn’t at fault.  Mike was able to confirm…lol.  However, had a lot of fun.  Somehow, Nascar created an even more stressful plate package.  Real life must suck.
    • Late Model Open, P6, Started P8.  It seems to be taking me 75% of the race to get corner entry down.  I am not finding to practice, these race I am entering are my 1st in this car at these tracks

Late Model Fixed, P7, Started P10.  Same as above.

More on Oswego

Listener John Zackery gave us some more info on Oswego Speedway after our last conversation

Hi Mike I thought I would give you some more info on Oswego speedway. Yes it is known for the super modifieds but they also run the Whelen modifieds once a year as well as the big block and small block dirt modifieds. They put clay down in September for the big block modifieds biggest race of the year. Super Dirt Week. So the track would be used for more then just the super modifieds. It’s crazy that they wouldn’t want it scanned. Sad.

Wifi Flag Light

FastTrack Sim Racing

Did you know: SIMRacingApps has built-in flag lights that work via wi-fi? Well, now ya know.

This video shows just the test mode.

All you need is a LIFX bulb or led strips from lifx. You cannot use another name brand.

Once you have the light working from your phone app, all you need is to copy the “token” from lifx. Then paste that token into the simracingapps settings. It’s that simple.

Tested it out last night, there was no lag with it instantly turning colors. What bothered me was, the green stayed on the whole time while under green flag conditions. I like racing in the dark, so I contacted simracingapps, they showed me how to only have the green on for a short period.

Remember Rankin?

Heads up from listener Jason Bosse:

Remember the kid that was doing post race commentary for his mx5 races, racing the top irating guys of iracing? He finished p2 i think in the iracing skip barber series, awarding him 5 races. not sure id he got the money to do the full season but first race was last week. they join him here p2 in the race…. https://youtu.be/LcApXkgpVzY

that feed sucked.They only showed a portion of race 1. Elvis Rankin started pole and finished p3 in race one so starting p3 in race 2.https://youtu.be/K5ozMG8dqOQ?t=4m30s

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Gateway

  • Ellis –   p6 – finally a good race – was running third most of the night – as high as second. One of the final restarts i came up through the gears drifted a hair to the right and hit the guy next to me causing a big wreck. Was back as far as 14th and damaged but enough other attrition got me to 7th – we had a natural gwc, then 4 gwc’s yes 4 – then once it was over checker it continued to say pacing so i kept doing laps and it gave me one more spot – 
  • Hall – P22. tough top split.  Got early damage avoiding the wreck but found the inside wall.  But I was really mostly racing around the guys I usually race.
  • Sunday Open

Rochette-Pself walled first time racing gateway in years just couldn’t find a groove. Gassed it alittle too much out of T2 with 16 to go destroyed the car. Flat tracks hate me

Are you struggling with maximizing your braking zones when you’re on iRacing? Locking up when you’re trying to push it to the limit?

I was in your shoes not too long ago. I’d see my competition braking deeper then me but no matter what i’d try, I couldn’t match them.

Until I started using Sim Coaches P1 Pro Pedals.

With their true hydraulic design, they feel just like you’re driving a car.

They’re made right here in the USA and even offer a lifetime warranty!

For a limited time, Sim Coaches is offering you guys 10% off your order! You won’t find a better discount anywhere…

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Charlotte

  • Ellis –   pwrecked out – very uncomfortable loose in was slow out there for sure – made it to lap 83 before i killed it putting it in the wall hard – 
  • Rochette-Pwrecked.  Tried to stay away from the crap but it hit the fan. First had a spinner come back up on the track from just loosing it on the back and knocked some revs outta me. Than just before half way a car went into the infield on the stretch  and the dumbass lapper in front of me slams on his brakes and i knock the hell out of him. Im done 
  • Hall – P 9.  Frustrating race, but stuck it out.  Trapped a lap down early because a car wouldn’t catch up to the pack and we couldn’t get wave around after a cation in the middle of green flag stops.  Got damage from a lead lap car that decided to go Ryan Newman mode on cars racing for the lucky dog.  Forgot to change my wheel setting so ran the whole race with to high a steering ratio.  But did finally get back on lead lap and survived for 9th

Groves – P wrecked

Hall – p wrecked out by unavoidable

Race : Gateway

  • Wed Open:
  • Hall –p. 19, purely survival.  Tough Top Split was car 37.  Got damage on 2nd lap as a driver discovered on green his FFB was gone.  Caught in a 2nd wreck and just limped around on back of tail lap, but was far enough from the rest of the wrecks.
  • Ellis – p wrecked out – had a good race going running about 10th to 12th – around half way i got 12 x within 20 laps from people running me over from behind in the corner. After that I spun off on my own late exit down the the inner wall and killed the car 4 minutes optional. Stayed on lead lap and couldnt really repair due to people cant pace. Maybe 20 laps later the engine blows.
  • Thurs Open  

Ellis – p. 11 – Was running good top ten as high as second, but someone spun up front and i tboned in for five and half min damage – soldiered on to be last on lead lap

    3. Mike – p21- was pretty uncomfortable around the top letting everybody go wasn’t racing anyone get the car cleaned till roughly halfway and then started hitting the wall was barely hanging onto it by the end. Glad to get a finish at Charlotte this week that is an accomplishment for me.

SCCA Runoffs Coming to iRacing in October 2022

iRacing and the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) are pleased to announce the addition of the SCCA Runoffs to iRacing’s Special Events schedule for the first time in 2022. Utilizing the Super Session model, drivers will have the opportunity to qualify for the iRacing SCCA Runoffs over the week of October 17-21, 2022, before the top qualifiers strap in over the course of a marathon eight-hour broadcast day on Saturday, October 22.

“The SCCA Runoffs are one of the most prestigious events in American road racing, and we’re excited to officially add them to the iRacing special event schedule in 2022,” said Kevin Bobbitt, Director of Marketing at iRacing. “Giving our racers another opportunity to compete in top-level virtual road racing, while offering them a completely different slate of cars from the norm to race with, is an incredible proposition, and we can’t wait to see who takes the victory across our largest special event vehicle lineup ever!

As in the real world, the iRacing SCCA Runoffs will be held at VIRginia International Raceway, and the eight competing classes will similarly be modeled after vehicles that take part in the Runoffs every year. Sessions in each class will be held once every four hours from Monday-Friday, with all drivers holding a D class road license or above eligible to race and earn their way into the Super Sessions. All races will be 35 minutes in length.

The eight competing classes, and their full schedule of Super Sessions coming on Saturday, October 22, are as follows. All Super Sessions will be broadcast in succession on iRacing social media channels:

image.png

The real-world SCCA Runoffs return to VIRginia International Raceway for the first time in three years on September 24-October 2, 2022, and will return there in 2023 as well. The history of the event dates back nearly six decades, and serves as the SCCA’s national championship weekend for the top amateur road racers in America.

Wrecked out – i was leading and pitted under yellow and messed up and got eol penalty – never recovered, eventually a 3 car pack we caught the lead pack, i encouraged them just go around them we did but tangled w someone who came up in to our lane and all wrecked out,…The fact that i can always get to the lead at some point is quite satisfying

Race : dover 

  • Wed Fixed 
    • Rochette– P
  • Wed Open:
    • Hall –p. 11.  There is a vortex about half a straight in front of my car that makes cars wreck just so they can hit me.  Erg.   Salvaged P11 with engine damage cause still pretty good long run speed. 
    • Ellis – p wrecked out- I got a little damage in the first caution they got it fixed and Marsh my way back up to the front was running for all the outside when I touch the guy on the inside and I got sent to the wall the engine blew up. 
    • Kyle P Pwrecked out
    • Tyler – P 
    • Greg P
    • Adam – 
    • Stephen –
    • Rochette P3 few cautions in the begining then a 125 lap green flag run. Got lapped in 4th. Caution came out from 3rd slamming the wall got lucky dog and gwc. Got another podium 
    • Bobby -p
  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p.8 – early run made my way up front on long run up to p2, had to pit under caution to grab a fedex at the door, then marched my way all the way back to the lead – lead 13 laps – they guy who eventually won, i ran side by side with him for several laps before he finally got me – then i faded to 3rd where 4th ran into my side going down the front straight i spin no caution bring it home 8th – feels really good to be in the mix for the lead

Official Series

  • A Open
    • Hall – P
    • Ellis – p

Tony R – Pair of P7s at Dover Tuesday just getting a feel for the set

  • PDS Euro Sprint Series

League / Hosted Races

  • Ellis – Chris Macguire Hosted
    • 87 cars at Texas-wrecked 
    • 87 cars at tally p3
  • FastTrack League –
    1. David – pwrecked out, caused the big one.  The high line is just not consistent in this car in sim and real life.  High Line only makes it to the front with the perfectly setup run, then if the cars in front don’t abandon the front comes back and the high line gets stuck about 3 car lengths back.  Was pushing Greg hard, missed a bump to the right.  Didn’t know I was that far off, but the replay shows I was.
    2. Bobby -pwrecked out
    3. Greg p wrecked out
    4. Mike – p7- started farther backs in the rash but made it eventually up to my team or we ran 1234 on the bottom for quite some time. Eventual Lee we got some cars in front of us do the non-decisions on going high. At some point we went high and David was pushing Greg and accidentally turned him. The final restart with three to go is hectic but I was able to bring it home P7 from P9. 
    5. Adam –  p

Nascar/ Motorsports Games Split?

Multiple sources have told SGO that NASCAR is actively looking for ways to get out of its current agreement with Motorsport Games. The sources say that NASCAR would like to bring its license to a different publisher and developer within the next couple of years.

“NASCAR isn’t happy,” the source said. “There’s a reason they don’t even promote their own game on any broadcasts. It’s because they don’t want to be associated with a game as broken as what NASCAR 21 is.”

2021 was not a bright year for Motorsport Games, which belongs to the wider Motorsport Network media empire that includes Motor1 and Motorsport.com. The gaming division lost $33.7 million and admitted in its latest financial report two weeks ago that it didn’t “believe the existing cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.”

This should and will concern the likes of IndyCar and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest that operates the 24 Hours of Le Mans, both of which recently minted collaborations with Motorsport Games. The prospective IndyCar game is targeting a 2023 release, as is the Le Mans title. All of these games are the first iterations of annual franchises too, which means it’ll be a tall effort to get them out the door in a short amount of time and in polished form, as NASCAR 21 has illustrated.

A long awaited update has been released for the Jimmie Johnson Spotter Pack

v7.30 involves a re-work of a whole bunch of clips. It also introduces 309 new sound clips, hopefully replacing all of the new messages that iRacing has plugged in recently, including the pit box countdown. There are a few event ID’s that I couldn’t get to trigger, so I’m not sure when they do. I left the Default for those as a good way to find out, so let me know if you hear Aussie Greg at all.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Bristol

  • Ellis –   p1 – I was probably lucky it was an ex teammate behind me that he has some trustworthiness thanks to Carlos Fonseca for racing me clean but also making me earn it. He could’ve plowed me but he didn’t. When i entered the lobby I immediately knew I would be fighting him for the win. He is super super quick and oval irating in the 4000’s… The restart before the last when is when i took the lead with some great crossover / slide job moves…
    • First win of the year, 79th career win.Stats calling this an oval win but i had only one other dirt oval win in 2020, dirt street stock at lanier dirt. So I am going to call this my second oval dirt win…Really proud I could back up my good runs earlier in the week. Not in 1 million years did I think my first win this year would be Bristol dirt
  • Rochette-P8 first time ever tied for the pole. Was stuck in 4th most of the race til we actually had more than a 5 lap run. 3rd place ran out of talent and hit the wall and into me give me a 20 second required made it to the end a lap down super frustrated.
  • Hall – P.Unavoidable Meat ball, same wreck got me and Adam

Groves – P? – I had a gymnastics finish, couldn’t stick the landing so I had to go home

  • Sunday Open

Hall – p14  Caution fest top split, spent most of the race tryin to survive

  • Sunday fixed 
    • Mike –p5 – Ran as high as P2 before getting hit from behind. Go back to 21st but could quickly make my way forward. Lots of lake carnage I gained a bunch of spots back. 

Race : Tally

  • Wed Fixed 
    • Rochette– P
  • Wed Open:
    • Hall –p. 7.  GWC at end, got hit in the previous caution, full HP but toe damage.  A guy tried to push me to lead on white, but the car was to hurt, got a top 10 in the books though, we’ll see if we can improve
    • Ellis – pwrecked out- Around lap 50 I’m running about seventh the guy behind me dives to the inside and clips me as I went just a hair high and he thought he could take it but I was there. 
    • Kyle P P8 I’ll take the top 10 finish but could we please learn to race sensibly. I got caught up in 3 wrecks that had nothing to do with me but people were just diving up and down lanes and basically driving with blinders on and no spotters. Rant over!
    • Tyler – P 1 First ever win in a NIS race.  Thanks Mike for the spotting to the win!

Rochette P DNF caught in a spinning wreck in front 31 minutes required

  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – pwrecked out – Led the most laps and on last restart purposely went high to be leading in outside lane – got pushed to the front and then the guy pushing took this bumper and rubbed me from right side swiping left and it immediately hooked me hard right into the wall. 10 minutes damage.
    • Bobby – 
    • Adam – 
    • Steve – 

Rochette P wrecked by leaders going 3 wide into turn 1 on lap 6. Got my yearly Dega pole was pushed out of the leader by a dumbass *beeeeeeeeeeeeep* (Iberian) than while just hanging out they went 3 wide for the lead middle car lost and fell back and wrecked about ½ the field

Official Series


  • A Open
    • Ellis – p3 – Led 20 laps but didnt make the right moves near the end to get me in the right spot, none the less a good finish and start for the week (tues night)
    • Tony R – P5 in A open got checked up on the outside on white
      • “Sigh” another P5 was leader til  front when my pusher stopped pushing
  • B Fixed 

Rochette P1 –what a way to start Dega week. First ever B class win. Made my move on the outside on the white

  • C Fixed
    • Tyler – P3 in the trucks. Almost had a chicken dinner.

League / Hosted Races

  • Ellis – Chris Macguire Hosted
  • Pro 4s at Bristol dirt – p2
  • FastTrack League –
      1. David – p 8  I was slow, except for super long runs.  That plus pit strategy and survival gave me a better finish than the car was really good for .  And though it wasn’t Mike this time, my first strategy instinct is right more than not, and I didn’t let a team mate talk me out of my choice about a wave around.
      2. Greg p – pwrecked
      3. Mike – phad spun down and hit the wall so pitted on first caution for damage – made sure to uncheck my tires – yet it still gave me tires – so then i ended up take a wave by on a caution then never caught another. Once out of fuel, i got some 40 second pit penalty followed by another speeding penalty. I parked it out of frustration.
  • Adam –  p9
  • Full Throttle Sim Racing – 
    1. Stephen LouAllen – P1

New iR-04 Series

Greg West posted in the forums that by popular demand and beginning with Week 5 iRacing will be introducing a second iR-04 series running opposite hours of the current series.

This series, while short due to a mid season release, will still carry 2 drops and will continue as a full 12 week series for Season 3.

Nurburgring Study Guide

Listener Rowland Wallbank from North Wales lets us know how to use the Crew Chief App to record voice commands you can play back rally style to help learn the track.

Folks,
I enjoy listening to your Podcast (usually whilst doing the dishes!) here in North Wales.
I keep hearing members of your team saying how difficult learning the Nurburgring is.
I thought the same until I discovered that the Crew Chief app has a rally style Pace notes ability.
Basically you map buttons to record, start and stop.
You drive around the course and record yourself saying “slow slow slow” or “right turn ahead, tightens” anything you like.
Your recording is mapped to a distance around the track.  So…when you leave the pit you start the replay and when you hit that marker around the track you hear yourself say “slow slow slow” etc.  I learnt it in a couple of days doing it this way.  It’s fantastic.  You can adjust the distance to trigger the voice recordings if you want them to come later or earlier.
Cheers,
And please give a shout out to the Lotus 49 and the Huskinveld GT communities.
And Team Trained Monkey Racing…More Monkey than Alien.
Regards,
Rowly (Row as in your boat, not argue with your missus????)

Listener Rig Review

Listener Heath Ropp sent in to the Lounge his new Racing Cockpits 80/20 rig with Fanatec DD1 wheelbase and Heusinkveld Sprint pedals

Hello my dudes over at iRacers Lounge.  First let me start by saying thank you for putting out my favorite podcast each week and putting so much time into making it a great show.
I just upgraded my rig from a GT Omega ART with a Fanatec Club Sport 2.5 and V3 pedals to a proper 8020 rig from racingcockpits.com, Fanatec DD1 and Heusinkveld Sprints.
I went with the Pro rig and I must say I’m truly impressed with how solid it is.  I started out by calling Racing Cockpits and spoke with the owner Eric.  He got me everything I needed at a great price and fast shipping.  I had a few specific requests and called him a couple of times and he always answered the phone even in the evening.  It’s nice to be able to have that kind of service from right here in the good ol’ USA.  The rig was easy to put together and the directions were very well written.  While putting the rig together I realized I was missing the riser/leg mounts and notified Eric.  He immediately sent them over night to me which I greatly appreciated.  The seat is the NRG Prism and is super comfortable.  I have the Heusinkvelt Sprints mounted to the pedal plate and there is absolutely no flex.  I also got the side mounts for the DD1 and they are rock solid.  They also included a bunch of extra bolts and t-nuts was is awesome because I have already added some additional pieces.  Overall I’m impressed with the rig and with RacingCockpits.com.
I also just got the Butt Kicker Plus a few days ago and I’m loving it.  A few quick notes are that the volume knob was not attached tightly to the post and fell off when I took it out of the box and is still a little loose.  It sounds like Will Ford from Boosted Media also had this issue. I also used the bolt holes to attach it to my sim rig instead of the clamp, but I had to drill out the holes just a bit to use the standard M8 bolts and t-nuts used on most 8020 sim rigs. After about 3 hours of testing and tuning with the new Haptic Connect software, I determined that the LFE setting in iRacing worked the best, so I ended up not using the Haptic Connect software.  Hopefully they will continue to make that better.  This is the first Butt Kicker/transducer I’ve ever owned and I must say it is pretty cool and I don’t think I will ever race without one again.
I attached pics of my rig and yes that is a NES with the classic game Days of Thunder playing!  I still have all my old racing games (hence the pictures taped to the wall) I grew up playing and I must say Indy Heat is my favorite.
Again thanks to your team for your outstanding podcast.
Sincerely,
Heath Ropp #77

Mike Has Wind!

Our own Mike Ellis recounts his experience building his home made wind simulation unit.

FEA9386C-6F7F-44C0-B850-5B613B0C56DC.jpeg

So I got it all mounted and tried it and really couldn’t feel any wind coming out of it even though the fans were turning I couldn’t quite figure out what was going on. Eventually I found some confetti and taped it to the opening of the hose turn the fans on all the way.

And the confetti got sucked into the fan I installed the fans backwards!

So I’ve created the first Vacuum Sim. Or maybe we call it the Sim Vacuum.

So tonight I switch them around and it’s up and working and blowing pretty great.

Some lessons learned, the SIM hub software now has wind Sim support built right in so you don’t need to do the workarounds that were stated in the video.

It kind a looks like the hoses are in an awkward position but they are out of my visual while driving. Not sure if I’m gonna keep them here or move them somewhere else, but done for now.

I did receive my fanatec hub a month early. I’m still awaiting the cube controls wheel to ship…

Caution fest so restarts we super important. Got Doored with about 50 to go as the chain reaction had me in the middle sitting like a duck but survived. Caution after caution for the GWC and brought it home in 7th with only a 4x. Had a blast after some fine running suggestions from the team. Thanks Tifosi!
