More on Active Pedals

Lots of Sim Racing journalists have had time to try and give thoughts on the new Simucube Active Pedal System



Dan Suzuki on the Active Pedal

an Suzuki12/01/2022 2:21 PM

Tried these pedals today and wow, this definitely is something very unique that I have never tried before. I personally think it’s amazing to see a company doing something completely new. Of course it is expensive and I’m sure the people at Simucube would be more than happy if they could produce and sell them at a lower price – there is so much tech in these – you basically get a simucube per pedal and then a lot of stuff around it. They feel amazing to drive with. I need to come back in the next days and do some more testing, I wonder how they feel on a car without ABS – can you feel the lockups if you disable ABS on the cars? Anyways, just wanted to share my quick first impressions, I love it when something completely new and unseen is coming out. If it wasn’t for these “jumps” in technology we would all still be driving with our Logitech G25. I wonder what some people in here do when they find out what sports cars can cost …. :kapp:

Dan Suzuki12/01/2022 2:29 PM

you can feel the car loosing traction. i thought it was a bit exagerated in the profile they used on the rig i was testing, but then again its super customizable



Marko from Simcube on Active Pedal Pricing on their Discord Server

Marko | Simucube12/01/2022 6:53 AM

Dear everyone,

Thank you sincerely for your comments. I carefully read through almost all of them. We honestly take all the opinions you shared to heart. The price for the ActivePedals was very carefully considered and hotly debated in-house before the launch. When we started developing the pedals, we knew the price point would not be very affordable, but based on the feedback on our other product releases, we knew that a set of basic pedals would be a letdown to the community.. so we opted to produce the best pedals in existence. As many of you guessed, the cost for R&D was substantial, but this was not the main reason for the price we are asking for. The main reason for the cost is that the components used in the pedals are the best available. Really, everything is top notch. So yes, the ActivePedals cost a substantial amount, but they are designed to last at least twenty years. These will not break, will not loose responsiveness or feel old after five years.

A SC2 plus a quality steering wheel cost more and we feel that for improving your lap times the pedals are even more crucial. This is the pedal for driving on the edge. This is the pedal we poured everything we got into.. and we will support and improve the features of the ActivePedals for years to come. If anyone knows us, they know this to be true.. it’s the same as with True Drive, the development has just started.

We understand the price was a shock for many, but this was the price this exceptional piece of gear can be sold currently. We truly appreciate the feedback from everyone.

-Marko, Simucube



Beano iRacing from Active Pedal Discord Channel his conversation with David Tucker of iRacing

Beano iRacing 🇦🇺 — Yesterday at 1:50 PM

Coming back to a discussion over at iRacing, where David Tucker, the main FFB Developer, had this to say yesterday – I waited with posting due to asking his consent to post this – apologies for it being in a few parts, it was a bit long for Discord to go in one post – anyway really excited for some of these concepts to make it into sims, now that the technology to benefit from these are there:

Quote @David Tucker:

This is all pure speculation at this point, so it is difficult to answer your questions. Naturally we want to support the latest hardware, but we also want to spread our engineering efforts out fairly. This is just the first pass at a brand new idea, hopefully the second and third passes will help solidify what is and is not important in the design and we will see this become more commonplace.

As for potential benefits, that is really up in the air right now. We know that pedals are a weak spot (as are shifters) in the sim world. Everyone that gets there first rig wants to get a clutch pedal and h-pattern shifter and is very disappointed when they find out it feels nothing like driving a stick shift car. Some of that is because race cars are nothing like your daily driver, but a lot falls on the pedals (and shifter) not really giving enough feedback.

In my opinion these are some of the potential benefits of these pedals.

Part 2: Can be adjusted to match the throw and pressure profile of every car so it feels more like the real thing. This is a big plus for immersion.

Can accurately match the feel of a clutch pedal. This is something existing pedals could have done, but most do not. Hopefully with a bit of feedback from the sim you could feel the clutch plate chatter and get more out of it.

Can reproduce chatter from the brake system such as the pulsing of the ABS. Ultimately this requires better modeling on our part to try and perfectly match the behavior of the real thing. We probably don’t have the info to really nail this, but we can get close enough. And even with minimal sim support we can probably make this feel nice.

Can reproduce brake fade, a worn clutch, or ruptured brake lines and a whole host of other failures. Imagine having your brake pedal suddenly drop to the floor, it would be amazingly scary.

Can simulate the feel of brake assist. It is a subtle thing you don’t usually notice but your brake assist in your passenger car does not work in lock step with your foot. It tends to have a bit of delay and ramps up the assist over time so you get a feeling of the pedal moving on its own. Try pushing slowly on the brake pedal next time your parked and you will be able to feel this.

Can simulate g-force acting on your legs to soften up the brakes as deceleration increases. This is intriguing to me, as I mentioned above a lot of pro drivers say a static pedal set can’t ever feel like the real thing. Potentially this could get around it.

Can provide LFE style vibrations at your feet that change from pedal to pedal. This is especially useful on cars like the skippy that rely on mechanical linkages that couple directly to the transmission. You should be able to feel the engine and transmission buck when adjusting the throttle and more direct vibration at the pedals as well.

Part 3:

That is a lot of potential, but it is also a lot of work to really be able to fully take advantage of it all. We may need to extend our models. For example our clutch plate can’t really chatter, our brake rotors can’t warp, and so on. But if we have a way to give you those details then there is incentive on our end to model more of them.

Do We Need to Update All Our Paints

For the 2023 Season 1 build iRacing is adding a new shader to the sim that will allow you to add a clear coat to your car for custom schemes!

This new shader will allow you to put a clear shell over the existing paint scheme of the car with it’s own specular qualities separate from the underlying material. This is meant to replicate automotive paintjobs where the underlying car paint is overlaid with an acrylic clear coat. 

https://forums.iracing.com/discussion/32624/new-clearcoat-feature-added-in-iracing-2023-season-1#latest

Patrick Lindsey 

This change won’t effect cars without spec maps, just ones that have a spec map other than the default values, right?

Brian Simpson 

That is correct. If you don’t have a custom spec map you don’t have to edit anything. If you do and want to keep your current look. Make the blue channel on your custom spec map pure black (0, 0, 0 RGB).

No Refunds for the RTX 4080

 It’s no secret that the RTX 4080 has not been selling particularly well, primarily due to its $1,200 price tag, which most people feel is far too expensive. The situation has even impacted scalpers, with many now having to resell their cards at MSRP or even less in some cases. A few second-hand sellers have tried returning them, which seems to have prompted certain retailers to stop offering refunds for the RTX 4080.

Scalpers are struggling to sell the RTX 4080 above MSRP, but retailers won’t let them return the cards

XR Supported Foveated Rendering

Varjo has on their website a great explanation of how their dynamic foveated system works in XR and how your eyes interpret what is being displayed in VR

A great explanation how our eyes work and what they can actually see in VR and how OpenXR helps with the performance of VR.

Human eyes have a unique design with two kinds of photosensors, the rod and the cones. Cones are very accurate and detect fine details. Rods are much more sensitive to light than cones, but blurrier. Cones and Rods are distributed very non-uniformly. Cones are concentrated within a few degrees of field of view around the gaze. There are no rods in the center of the FOV, but they are covering most of the eye field of view. There is even a blind spot where the nerve is attached, an entire area of the eye that has no photosensors at all.

TITLE SPONSOR READ:

Are you tired of your pedals feeling like a video game? Want to step up to feeling like you’re actually driving? 

We designed our P1 Pro Pedals to feel exactly like a real car giving you a better feeling when you’re driving. Push braking zones to the limit and avoid locking up by having a finer feel of the limits. Trail brake into the corner smoother allowing you to carry more speed. 

Our P1 Pro Pedals will be the last set of pedals you’ll ever purchase for your simulator. Lifetime Warranty is included. That means if you ever run into issues in years to come, we’ll service them and keep them perfect!

Elvis Rankin Converts Skip Barber Formula iRacing Series Results Into Real-World Title Shot

Earlier this year, Indianapolis-based teenager Elvis Rankin impressed sim racing and real-world racing pros alike with a stellar performance in the inaugural Skip Barber Formula iRacing Series. His runner-up finish in that championship gave him the opportunity to compete in this year’s Skip Barber Formula Race Series in the real world, with a half-season scholarship to help him showcase his skills.

Flash forward to this week’s season finale at Circuit of the Americas, and Rankin has done much more than just show up for half the races. It took him just two rounds at his debut event at Lime Rock Park to find the top step of the podium for the first time, and after formalizing a full-season campaign, he enters Rounds 13 and 14 with a 13-point championship advantage.

Update sent in from Listener Jason Bosse

Skip Barber formula series’ last race week was Nov 29th and 30th. I do not know his finishing positions (he’s too cool to respond to old mx5 racing buddies) but the season is over and he is champion. I do not think he had much competition in this year’s group of drivers. This report was written right before the last weekend at cota….Circuit of the Americas. In other news, he did have a somewhat good showing in a F4 test in Europe amongst a group of new drivers.

iRacing Setup Differ – Message from Developer

  1. Hi Steve what a nice surprise you mentioned the iRacing SetupDiffer software on your show. with the busy season around thanksgiving, i am a few shows behind in listening to the podcast. I just listed to the November 10th show today.
  2. I created the iRacing SetupDiffer because at the time, all the setup comparison tools required you to export the setups to an HTML file and compare the “files” themselves. that has a number of problems, the main one being the comparison program has to be updated to work with each new car, and occasionally, with season updates, or changes that iRacing makes to an existing car. with the iRacing SetupDiffer,
  3. I wanted to create a tool that was simple and straightforward, and worked with any car, and any seasonal update, without forcing users to constantly download new versions of the software. from the user feedback I’ve received, this has been a success. one of the most often mentioned features is the ability to compare the existing setup in iRacing (extracted live), with a version used in a previous race or practice session (extracted from the telemetry files). Also, not that it makes any real sense to do so, but it can also be fun to compare setups from completely different types of cars, just to learn what is different between them. anyway, thanks for mentioning the software. it was an unexpected surprise. see you on the track

TITLE SPONSOR READ:

Are you tired of your pedals feeling like a video game? Want to step up to feeling like you’re actually driving? 

We designed our P1 Pro Pedals to feel exactly like a real car giving you a better feeling when you’re driving. Push braking zones to the limit and avoid locking up by having a finer feel of the limits. Trail brake into the corner smoother allowing you to carry more speed. 

Our P1 Pro Pedals will be the last set of pedals you’ll ever purchase for your simulator. Lifetime Warranty is included. That means if you ever run into issues in years to come, we’ll service them and keep them perfect!

iRacing Year in Review

Season 1

iRacing 2022 Season 1 has the green flag!

The iRacing horizon has expanded to include Scotland’s Knockhill Racing Circuit, Watkins Glen International has been fully re-built with brand new 2021 scan data, and the Porsche Experience Center at the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg is open for business with four new track configurations! iRacing also adds a new tire scuffing visual effect, and a “Ready to Race!” button to help everyone get back to the action even faster. Our AI Drivers have been busy training up on three new vehicles and NINETEEN new track configurations, and they’re ready to give you a run for the gold. Welcome to iRacing 2022 Season 1!

Season 2

iRacing 2022 Season 2 is here! Get ready to expand your garage – this Release features a whopping SIX brand new cars (Aston Martin Vantage GT4, Hyundai Veloster N TC, iRacing Formula iR-04, NASCAR Buick LeSabre – 1987, Stock Car Pro Series Toyota Corolla, and the Stock Car Pro Series Chevrolet Cruze), two brand new tracks (Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55, and Winton Motor Raceway), and 10 new pieces of content for AI Racing. The New Damage Model is coming pre-enabled on all new content except for the Stock Car Pro Series Cars. The NetCode system has received a little TLC, and the Multiple Tire Compound system has been fully developed. We’ve applied some new aerodynamic and tire knowledge to the GT3 Class Cars. Also, the NASCAR Camping World Trucks have been updated to their 2022 NASCAR Season specs, including a top-to-bottom full art upgrade for the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. There should be something for everyone, welcome to iRacing 2022 Season 2!

Season 3

iRacing 2022 Season 3 has arrived! We’ve added TWO new Mercedes-AMG race cars, Mercedes-AMG GT3 2020 and Mercedes-AMG GT4, and the Radical SR10 to our stables. Travel to Japan, Australia, and the USA with Fuji International Speedway, Sandown International Motor Raceway, and Port Royal Speedway. Start Zones have been added as an option to all NASCAR Cup oval tracks for a more authentic green flag experience. We have heard our community and have fixed a tire conditioning exploit used during Qualifying. Tire graining and cording visual effects may now be seen on all cars, and our GT3 class has received the latest IMSA visual updates. The New Damage Model is now in effect on FIVE more car models, and AI Racing is available for TWELVE more pieces of content. Oh, and you’ll also find over SIX-HUNDRED (600!) new custom built setups.

This season includes the release of iRacing’s first fully electric race car, the Porsche Mission R, a pair of new European Road Courses, Motorsport Arena Oschersleben and Rudskogen Motorsenter, and a new Dirt Oval, Lucas Oil Speedway. We’ve added Indianapolis Motor Speedway – IndyCar Oval using our 2022 laser scan data, and have rebuilt all of the artwork for both the ARCA Menards Chevrolet Impala and Lotus 79 from scratch. A host of quality upgrades have also been completed, including a substantial change to the New Damage Model so that now damage builds up in areas on your car with repeated strikes which could eventually cause breakage, a rewrite and significant upgrade to the Low-Frequency Effects audio system, and the addition of Driving Aid Pit Lines for all Road Courses. For the iRacing UI, the veteran-favorite Race Guide is now available, as well as Custom Car Classes for AI Racing, and a few new Guided Tours. With our seasonal AI update, we have gone back to our Grand Prix Legends roots with the release of the Lotus 49 along with the much anticipated release of the NASCAR Cup Series Next Gen cars and 18 other new pieces of content. Buckle-up and drive full-throttle into iRacing 2022 Season 4!

Podium Racing Wheel F1® at a reduced price for a limited time!

https://forum.fanatec.com/categories/blog

QR2 – this is a fundamental change to the ecosystem and our opportunity to make major improvements to the quick release. While we (and BMW) are satisfied with our QR design currently being used on the M4 GT3 race car, it has been a challenge to bring this design to mass production for our full range of steering wheels and wheel bases (including a ‘Lite’ version for our CSL Series). The extended development time has ensured the best possible future for the Fanatec quick release. The latest pre-production samples are performing great, but we will only provide release dates and pricing information when we are ready.

Wheel Base production – many of you have noticed we have been ‘sold out’ of some of our wheel bases for some time. The demand has been very high, and our production has been stalled by component shortages. We will continue to work hard to address this bottleneck, but the effect of the semiconductor crisis continues to be felt across the industry, and I can confirm that the CSL DD will not be available again until Q1 2023.

Podium Steering Wheel Bentley GT3 – the development of this wheel has also been affected by the chip shortage. Although this product was already used very effectively in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and its mechanical and structural design is well-proven, we were unsatisfied with the performance of the display, and we have used the extra time to completely re-engineer the electronics. We now plan to launch the wheel in the first half of 2023.

Now for the best news of the day. Despite the supply delays, we were recently able to secure all components for the Podium Racing Wheel F1, and run the production line at full capacity. Because we know it will be difficult to get your hands on our entry-level bases until next year, we decided to offer the Podium Racing Wheel F1 at a reduced price for a limited time. (We would like to offer this price until the CSL DD returns, but we expect a high demand, so let’s say ‘while stocks last’.)

Coke Series Recap

Racer.com recapped the Coke Series Championship event held at the Nascar Hall of Fame

https://racer.com/2022/10/27/enascar-iracing-end-2022-season-with-hall-of-fame-finale/

“It was really cool,” Kirwan said of Earnhardt Jr. presenting the trophy. “It was also awesome before the race even started Dale came up to all of us and chatted for a bit. He came up to me and talked about the stream and everything like that. It was cool for him to be there and come support it.

“Of course the trophy is really nice, he did a really good job on it. To have his name on it is cool and even after he stuck around, and we chatted with him. He took me and Rajah Caruth up on Glory Road and checked out one of his dad’s old cars, one of Richard Petty’s old cars. He even got me to hop into one of Petty’s old cars at one point which was cool. It was just cool to hang out and talk sim-racing and the event and everything.”

In addition to the trophy, Kirwan will also take home the $100,000 prize. He has no plans for the money just yet, but he did say his spotter, crew chief, and others who supported him will be getting a cut of the winnings.

https://traxion.gg/magical-live-championship-for-enascar-iracing-hopefully-just-the-beginning/

One particular storyline from the event was the revelation of Zalenski’s severe scoliosis, a condition that he’s dealt with his whole life, never before something he’s felt the need to bring up as he’s competed for the title five times in the last six years.

“Something I never talked about was my condition because it’s never been relevant,” Zalenski said. “I was born with very severe scoliosis, so I had surgery about 10 years ago. It was like 200-degree curves in the spine, if I didn’t get surgery, I wouldn’t be able to be here racing for sure.

“My lungs will be squished because it just gets worse. I had surgery and the best I could do is two 50-degree angles. Some of the spine is metal nails and screws. I’m all patched up. With all that considered, it’s crazy that I’m doing this. I always wanted to be a NASCAR driver. It just wasn’t in the cards for me.”

Zalenski said it was only the second time that he’s ever flown on an airplane, opting not to travel to eNASCAR Media Day back in 2020 due to the condition. While it wasn’t the rig he was used to racing in, it was good enough to show the most speed in the first half of the title race and ultimately finish second.

Series Updates: IMSA and European Sprint/Endurance Series

With the announcement of this car coming to the iRacing service, many have asked how we will implement it into our different series. 

Please note that these updates are upon the arrival/availability of the BMW LMDh and are not a guarantee of any specific release date*

European Sprint/Endurance Series 

Once available, the BMW LMDh will replace the LMP1 class as the top tier of this series. The Dallara P217 LMP2 and the GTE class will remain as is. 

iRacing IMSA/ IMSA Endurance

Once available, the BMW LMDh will join this series. In order to make room, the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 will come out of these series. It will still be available to race in both the GT Sprint and GT Endurance Series. 

Anyone who has purchased the Porsche 919 or the Audi R18 within 90 days of the release date of the BMW LMDh will receive a $5 credit. Anyone who has purchased either car within 1 year of the BMW LMDh release will receive a $10 credit.

Active Pedal Aftermath

Simucube posted a video talking about their new Active pedal

I see this as a multi stage process.

  1. Let the user define a static profile for there pedals that lets them tweak the feel and throw of each pedal without messing around with springs, dampers, and stops.
  2. The pedal software grabs what car the player is driving from telemetry and let the player map a predefined profile to each car so the pedals change from car to car.
  3. Let the pedal software run canned effects based on limited telemetry from the games.
  4. Allow game developers to directly set there own profiles based on real life information from the car. The player should always be able to override this with there own profile if they so choose.
  5. Allow game developers to send high frequency effects to the pedals that play on top of the static profile. This would mirror part or all of the LFE/TrueForce effects so you can feel the engine vibrate and so on. This is a step above 3 in that it can be tweaked by each developer to better match the game or to use internal data not available to telemetry.
  6. Allow game developers to dynamically change the profile as time progresses. This is where we could add in brake fade by slowly moving points around on the profile.
  7. Go all in and allow the game developer full control over the pedal so they actively control the feedback loop.

Everything up through stage 3 is probably already implemented and mostly rests on Simcubes shoulders to implement for all games.

Stage 4 is not technically hard but it is a lot of bookkeeping to implement on the game developers side. We would need to dig up information about the physical pedals for every car we ever made and in a lot of cases we could not go back and touch the real car again to measure pedal force or throw if we don’t have that information. Going forward of course it is just a matter of coming up with a simple rig to test the pedals out and recording the profile.

Stage 5 is probably not that hard to implement. We have seen wheels moving towards high frequency effects for a while now, like the Logitech TrueForce effect. Once a game supports one of those effects it is relatively easy to redirect part or all of them on to the pedals. Adding it in at first is not trivial at all, but once you have it then it is easy to repurpose.

Stage 6 would allow us to model slow changing events such as brake fade or a loss of brake fluid pressure without having to fully implement a proper feedback loop with the physics like we do with wheels.

Stage 7 is the dream, but that would take significant effort on our end (and all other game developers as well) to implement. We would need to make a new dynamic physics model for the pedals and update it fast enough that we can accurately simulate motion in real time I’m not even sure it is 100% possible.

The big question is will this be popular enough that developers feel it is justified to implement. If the price is right I suspect we could see this really take off, but if the cost is closer to motion platforms than DD wheels we will probably be stuck at stage 3 for quite a while.

  • Hall – p1, Started mid pack,  was slowly creeping up into top 10, then horribly missed my pit to go all the way back, worked by way back up eventually to 3rd.  On a restart leader spun tires, which cause a weird chain reaction that resulting in me not getting told by my spotter coming back on the track from the dog leg that it was three wide, plus net code and I get knocked down low, but gather it up in around 25th.  Then there is a big wreck right in front of me.  I’m creeping through it and still one of them rolls into my left rear.  1 min damage, fixed eventual.  I tell my self there still more time than the A open to race.  Caution comes with 62 to go and I say this is in my favor.  With 10 to go the leader is 3.5 seconds ahead of me.  But they fade hard on last 10 laps, I lead the last 5 and take 2rd win of season.  150th overall win

  • Tom D – pretty much p4 all night, but got shuffled at the end.  
  • Stephen- p wrecked out
  • Mike-p1- started P 20 quickly made it up to fourth by the end of the first run then a long green flag run. I went to Short pit. The caution came out while on pit Road I was able to come back around and beat the leaders before they got off pit Road and maintain the lead marched on basically ran top three. Most of the night ended up leading the most laps. I really hard to fight for it at the end. One guy stayed within one second the whole way, but it stayed green and I took home the win! That’s my 87th career win. That’s four wins for me this year Bristol dirt, new Atlanta, Charlotte, Roval, and the Phoenix finale

Formula Renault 2.0 Taking Season Off

Greg West Posts:

After much discussion combined with looking at the data and what’s on the horizon, iRacing has decided to have the Formula Renault 2.0 take the season off for Season 1, 2023.

After that time we will reevaluate the future of how the car is used on the service.

As we continue to solidify our internal plans for future vehicle content , we will work to develop series options that promote the best participation across a variety of racing classes and disciplines.

We appreciate your understanding.

  • Stephen- PGA BS
  • Adam – Wrecked Out
  • Donnie – Wrecked out – limped home, p26
  • Tom – Wrecked out – limped home
  • Greg – was leading on the gwc and lost connection
  • Mike  – started p24 but quickly worked my way fwd – stayed between 3rd to 12th basically, always pitted for fuel when others didnt to make sure i didnt get caught out… I will take the podium! p3!
  • Sunday Open
    • Stephen – P1 baby!!!! Me and @Tom Dreiling should of been 1 2 in some way. But a bad caution caught him on pit road put him a lap down and never got another yellow. He was leading before and during stops to.
    • Steve – Started 25th. Was a caution filled race with 9 cautions for 36 Laps.  Got to 3 taking Mikes advice of trying right sides only.  Car was good on 2 tires.  On the 2nd to last caution had to pee, pulled in went a lap down and finished 19th.
  • Sunday fixed 
    • Mike – early in the race got taken three while I was in the outside. I got pushed to the wall 10 minutes damage in the finishing the race P 30.
    • Tyler – P14 after starting 20th. Decent race but the aggressiveness going 3 wide was not pretty. Passing was difficult and you really had to lean on someone to pass. Race ending was interesting as the yellow came out as the leader got the white. Was hoping the race would have finished then. On to Homestead. 

Wednesday Open:  Homestead

  • Hall – p 15, sloppy race, wrong coin flip on caution timing, but stayed out of the wrecks
  • Tyler – P 14, too many cautions. Had one decent green flag run which helped the car set. Worked the high line most of the race. Was able to race with teammate Kyle for a good bit. Always a good time with the team. 
  • Stephen T -p2
  • Mike-p lap one I get loose and spin out all by myself and people wreck around me no damage. Restarted 13th got up to count on lab 17 I got loose again and destroyed the car.
  • Steve – Didn’t qualify, started 20th. 6 cautions at the start of the race then a green flag run for 54 laps.  Was 3rd when the caution came out, went in for tires with G/W/C restart.  Some guys stayed out and restarted 6th. Ended up 2nd by a foot.  Fun Race.
  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p.  18- goal was to finish the race and I did do that.  I ran as high as a eigth. The people who put it on the first caution at sixth lap could make it out one more stop. I didn’t think they would be able to so I didn’t stop it ended up screwing me later.  
    • Donnie – P7, Q15.  Good middle and long run speed.  Race was uneventful for the most except for lappers trying to win the race on every lap.


Official Series


  • Ellis – Chris Maguire hosted- super cars at Michigan. Great race I missed the big wreck ended up P5.
  • Skip barber at Sonoma got clipped from a wreck in lap one had to pit for a meatball flag to get my fast repair and came out nine out of 11 Worked my way up to P5!!! my fastest lap was pretty quick for me, but I’m still three seconds off the leader.

  • And Willie Byron to give the command…

When the green flag drops Casey Kirwain and Vicente Salas lead the field into turn 1
There’s early trouble for Graham Bowlin and Michael Conti. Bowlin gets into the wall and Conti has nowhere to go.
They both save it, but the 48 has some damage for sure.
On lap 6 Matt Bussa moves his way into the top 10
On Lap 11 he is joined in the top 10 by Keegan Leahey and Zach Novac

By lap 12 Matt Bussas has moved his way into the top 5 and is looking good.
Up front Kasey Kirwan continues leading with 12 laps in and 88 to go.
Lap 16 brings out the first caution as Darik Bourdeau and Jimmy Mullis make contact.
Bourdeau gets spun around, but gets no big damages
Malik Ray will lead the field back to green because he didn’t pit, with Casey Kirwan alongside.

They go three wide for the lead on the restart with a new leader on lap 22, Steve Wilson
On lap 31, Mitchel deJong makes his way into the top 5, until… the next caution on lap 34
Three years ago, Zach Novak and Kegan Lehey had a memorably clean finish for the championship,
but this race they can’t avoid contact collecting Bobby Zalenski, Whitt and LaPradd, but no one with serious damage.
Seven cars stay out and the rest pit.

After the restart we see Dylan Ault and Bobby Zalenski battle at the top with Zalenski getting the jump and the lead at Homestead.
On lap 42 champion hopeful Steve Wilson makes his way back into the top 5
At this point Graham Bowlin is the lowest running playoff driver, but he also has the best drop-race to fall back on with an 11th place finish at Bristol
By lap 45 Steve Wilson has done a great job driving his way to the top of the field

Mithchel deJong is not giving up easily, and retakes the lead from Wilson as they go side-by-side on lap 52.
With 40 laps to go there’s a possibility of this becoming a fuel milage race the the end.
With 33 to go, green flag pit stops begin
After the pit cycle the top running order is

  1. Steven Wilson
  2. Casey Kirwan
  3. Colin Keetster
  4. Michal Conti
  5. Mitchel deJong
  6. Femi Olat
  7. Malik Ray
  8. Vicente Salas
  9. Michael Guest

With the laps counting down to 25 to go, Steven Wilson continues to show the way as he looks to win his way itno the championship finale, if he can hold on.
But with 20 to go it’s a new leader as Casey Kirwan Grabs the top spot.
Michael Guest is moving forward and into the third with 11 to go.
With 8 to go Graham Bowlin get by Michael Conti as we watch the live points change in real time until a caution hits with 7 to go, changing everything.
Parker Retzlaff hit the wall on his own, slides down to the infield and brings out a mysterious caution.

Everyone comes to pit road, but Steven Wilson wins the race off pit road after taking 2 tires.
So with the late restart we have the leaderboard as follows…

  1. Steven Wilson
  2. Casey Kirwan
  3. Michael Guest
  4. Collin Keester
  5. Graham Bowlin
  6. Nick Ottenger
  7. Mitchel deJong
  8. Femi Olat
  9. Dylan Duvall
  10. Matt Bussa
    The race is all bunched up with a natural GWC to close out the race.
    A caution comes out right after the restart with Garrett Lowe and Corey Vincent getting involved when Derek Justis went to block and pushed a driver all the way to the apron and got turned and back up into traffic

The playoff picture looks like this, Conti needs to beat Bowlin by eight spots to advance – and it needs to be a third place or better as Bowlin has the 11th place drop in his pocket.
Wilson, Kirwan, Guest and Bowlin lead for GWC#1
Good jump for Wilson on the next restart and trouble comes out again!
Logan Clampitt and Vicente Salas are involved! The 5 went low on Clampitt to make it 5 wide caused him to move up into the guy above, and they pile up
We also now have Nick Ottinger in the mix – If Nick finishes second and Bowlin loses a spot here, he can be in.
GWC number 2 and Wilson gets a good jump again.
We finally get the white flag and Guest tries to run down Wilson, but can’t get to him, Steven Wilson is your race winner! His series best 4th win of the season! Punching his ticket tot the finale at Phoenix

Grahm Bowlin crashes in 4 on the white flag lap when Nick Ottinger runs out of gas into Turn 3 – Graham Bowlin gets knocked out…
BUT he has a P11 to fall back on – He was eight points ahead of Michael Conti – Conti got 6th, he’ll miss by three points The Drop did have an effect.
If there was no drop, Conti would have been in and Bowlin would have been out.

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open: ROVAL

  • Hall – p9, first half of race was more fun as I had close by drivers
  • Greg -wrecked out
  • Mike – qualified p4. Eventually cycle to the lead through Green flag stops. I ended up spinning on my own once and lost about eight seconds of track position and fell back to P5. I gradually made my way back up to P2 at that point he was 10 seconds ahead of me. I drove up to within six seconds of the Leader by the end, P2.

Wednesday Open:  

  • Hall – p wrecked in un avoidable  now down from 4000 to 3300 irating
  • Kyle P – P5 started 7th and fell back fast. Fought a loose car until about lap 70 and then the missile came alive and it was just on rails. Worked my way back from mid 20’s to finish a top 5.

Tony R – P shitty race. Had a horrible set was just loose all over. With 25 to go my car wasnt the only thing that was loose. Stomach was a rumbling and just couldnt hold it so pitted and got out of the rig in record speed. That was fun

  • Mike-p13 – super super loose. The first run ended up spinning and running dead last eventually caught a caution, but still struggled on every runs route. The race where I would spin it falls is the last car in the lead loud with some carnage at the end, I ended up getting a few more spots up to pee 13.  the set certainly did not agree with me. 
  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p11- ran a totally different set and it was completely stable. Much better. We had only one caution it loud 13 I decided to stay out and try to save a set of tires, but then we had no cautions from that point forward I got shuffled at one point back to 24th. Drove it back up to 11th before the first green flag stop. stayed consistent through the second run and ended up running fourth before I had a pit again with 15 to go for fuel and right side only.  car was really fast with just two tires and I drove it back up to 11 from 21st.  got screwed on the fuel strategy kicking myself for that for sure.

  1. Stuttering

Description

On the show this week, we will review the Coke series race at Homestead leading up to the Championship Race at Phoenix. We look at which F1 drivers are sim racers and what their race rigs look like. We’ll revisit the conversation about iRacing protests after another prominent streamer is involved in an incident, and we’ll check out some top level wheels in hardware. So sit back, relax and join us on the iRacers Lounge Podcast.
