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.
Regards,
Rowly.

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.
League / Hosted Races
- FastTrack League –
Greg p1
- Ellis – Atlanta – next gen – holy cow wrecked out
- Moon car – 87’s at ATLANTA – p6
