Why iRacing’s Factory-Supported Mercedes F1 Car Is Such a Big Deal for Sim Racing

In an article from Car Bible they talk about why iRacing’s Factory-Supported Mercedes F1 Car Is Such a Big Deal for Sim Racing saying that, “It is the very first current F1 car to be released on a true simulator in general (the F1 series does not count), and one of a few F1 cars in sim racing to be developed with heavy assistance and technical support from the racing team that constructed it.”

We got some cool insight straight from an iRacing exec on this coming together. It's an absolutely incredible collaboration between a real racing team and a sim.https://t.co/nbWUjhowQu

World of Outlaws Week 5

Pennsylvania’s own Braden Eyler posted fast time in qualifying and won heat number 1 to take pole in the feature. New series points leader James Edens wins heat 3 to start in P3.

But just before the feature start James Edens gets struck by the disconnect bug and is only able to rejoin until after being a lap down. This after series leader from last week Alex Bergeron was disconnected in the feature and dropped him to 4th in the standings.

A large crash early in the feature near the front of the field takes out multiple drivers including Hayden Cardwell, which may have ended his hope of a series championship.

Cameron Merriman Takes the lead from Eyler early, but Eyler is able to work in the high line, reclaim the lead and hold on for his second career seres win with Merriman second and another Pennsylvania driver, Logan Rumsey finishing third.

Through sheer consistency, Cameron Merriman takes over the series lead with Alex Bergeron bouncing back to second and James Edens falling to third after the disconnect.

Known issue with AI Seasons

Staffer Michael Hinkle posted in the forums that there is a known bug affecting the use of AI seasons.  If a user creates and races in an AI season session they will currently have to wait for the entire race to complete, AI cars to pit and exit the sim before results will be generated for that session. If they do not wait for these results to be generated the AI season will not advance to the next race. The team is working on a solution to this problem.

irSidekick Controls (free app)

Martin Lanza posted the irSidekick which is an application that provides a graphical way to save and switch controls.cfg files. People who have multiple wheels, with different control assignments and use these wheels on the same car either have to reassign controls or save/copy controls.cfg files, both methods are clunky and tedious.

League / Hosted Races

• FastTrack Sim Racing League – 

 David – p 3 , really good on a long run, could make passes low when others liked to run high, also if you dive someone three wide, and drive to deep you can’t stay low without braking in the gas zone, contract will happen

• Winter League
  1. Ellis – p wrecked

Hall –  wrecked by someone not paying attention

• Git R Done Racing

Tyler P 5 – had a great time drafting with Brian and even got to draft with Chris. Missed hitting the clutch all the way on the last pit stop which set Brian and I back but we raced back up.

Tom D – p1. Wow. Started 6th, just got a bad lap.  On lap 2 a car in front of me spins and I get collected.  Took to the pits to repair the damage.  Worked myself back and forth through the field several times.   Restarted 2nd on final restart with 5 to go. I didn’t think I had enough time to get into a grove.  Took the lead with 2 to go.  First win of the year in NiS. Feels good.  It’s been a rough year

• Race : Phoenix

• Wed Open:
  • Hall –p oops,  lack of attention span, took my self out under caution, lucky no one else collected
  • Ellis – pwrecked out with about 50 to go. Had gone to the back three times had spun once it had missed my pit start twice because Sim racing apps was not working for me. I came up through there every time. Was wrecked running and forth from behind coming up off 4.  I bobbled just a hair and he ran over me and drove through me 

Kyle P – Lagged out.

V3 Pedal Dampener Fix

Kyle Pendygraft	Thu, Oct 21, 9:59 PM (2 days ago)
to iracerslounge

So after changing out the Different stiffness of pads in the brake pedal, to all green it made the stiffness tighter. The throw was still kind of a long but there’s an adjustment on the brake pedal to fine tune it to where you can have less throw in the brake pedal. Once that was fine tuned I noticed a big difference in braking. I would before the change basically touch the brakes and would apply to much force causing the front wheels to lock up and slide. Now I’m able to apply an adequate amount of force on the brakes and make a smoother turn into the corner and still keep my momentum going, which has caused me to improve on my lap times. I’m going to continue to tweak the adjustment until I feel I can’t do any better. All in all, this chang has already made major improvements for my racing.

Side note this file will be a google drive folder link. I will also send this to you Via Discord. Fantec V3 Pedal Topic.avi

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: 

• Ellis –   pwrecked out. Just riding on the outside behind somebody and the guy in the inside that comes right up and to me and put it both in the wall 

Rochette P33 car came up from the grass hit a dumbshit that was on the front stretch apron and right into my driverside door killing my car thanks asshat

Brian- P33 destroyed early

• Kyle – P- P F idiot drivers. Lap one doored by a guy who thinks its better to speed up and gain positions, instead of being cautious and avoiding other drivers during a wreck “what an idiot”  Lap who cares. Doored by a guy who got doored and put in the grass and decided to stay in the gas and then loses it and just slams up into me. Lesson everyone, HAMMERING down while out of control in the grass never ends well. “What an idiot” Rant over!

Hall – P. 1.  A very stolen win, but you get them stolen too, so took it.  Was running top 5 for most of 2nd half of race, as the set kicks in better high use track.  Caution with 15 to go, pit from third, gain a spot, restarting 2nd.  Iracing puts me on inside and gives me race control.  I go early, original leader didn’t think I had race control.  They were running me down with 3 to go but running out of time.  Caution.  Re-Rack, get a good start, hold if finishing by less than a car length ahead.

• Sunday Open
  • Kyle – P. P-PASS
  • Hall – p. BS starts right back up,  3 guys can’t hold a lane in the first 5 laps, destroyed

Tom D – p20. One caution. Made mistake (Rochette’d) the pit stop and sped down pit road. 40 second penalty.  Fell 2 laps down. Could only work my way back to 20th. On to Martinsville

• Sunday fixed 
  • Mike -p wrecked out – was missing all the big wrecks for a while – had worked my way all the way to the lead – eventually we had a deal where i was first on tires with 9 in front who stayed out – took it 3 wide and guy was clueless and just came up into us – the just riding around and get destroyed again by a guy loose coming down into the bottom lane. About 400 irating in 4 races lost

Brian – p21 made it all the way to a green white checker before getting destroyed

• Race : Martinsville

• Wed Open:
  • Hall –p wrecked on lap 1, unavoidable.  Fixed damaged, climbed to 12th around lap 200, engineblows.  Right back to the slump
  • Ellis – p wrecked out. Had a perfect car and a pretty good race run and top-five right up until about 40 to go and some guy divebombing like crazy took me out and I couldn’t steer the car but try to keep it on track that was a major mistake and ended up wrecking a couple people because I couldn’t steer. 

Kyle P P-13 Not much to say other then nothing put pace laps!

iRacer Wins Championship

Max Cookson is an iRacing regular and won the PASS (Pro All Star Series) mods championship. He started in go karts at the age of 4. Then he wrecks in a legends car and quit real racing for a while, He said in an interview, “I raced Karts from the time I was four until I turned 11 or 12, then took a few years off. I got pretty heavy into sim racing, and got to where I was pretty skilled in the iRacing leagues.” In a few years of iRacing he tallied $10,000 in winnings and used it to buys a PASS modified in 2020 and ran a few races. He focused on the PASS series in 2021 and won 6 races, and (even after loosing 100 points for a DQ) wins the championship in his rookie season.

Coke Race – Finale at Texas

Bobby ““If I’m side-by-side with Clampitt, and one of his teammates is in third, he’s going to push him by me. That’s a scenario, or I could have one of my friends behind me and they could push me by for the championship. It’s kind of like a mix between your typical intermediate and Daytona….”

Seven laps on the board. They’ve all been led by @MitchelldeJong1
Like a hot knife through butter, @LoganClampitt_ is cutting through the field, up 10 spots after 12 laps, currently P21.
Meanwhile, @bobbyzalenski is sitting tight in seventh after 17 laps. He’s up only two spots since the start.
LAP 25: @GarrettLowe_6, who entered 13-points above the relegation line, runs 40th, 6 laps down. Not sure what happened to him, but that might push him into relegation for the off-season. Connection issues for Lowe.
@MitchelldeJong1 has still led them all. @KeeganLeahy is lurking.

Here comes @BowlinGraham!He’s sizzlin’ as he moves to the bumper of the No. 32 for 2nd place.
LAP 43: All of the @eNASCARCocaCola #iRacing Series Championship 4 drivers are now inside the top-10.
Move @LoganClampitt_ into eighth and around @bobbyzalenski for third in the championship as they run.
LAP 57: @bobbyzalenski and others pit.

LAP 68: @MitchelldeJong1 has cycled back to the lead.
This is the closest these two have been all race for the lead. A few lapped cars on slightly fresher tires went and took their laps back, allowing Leahy to close in
@LoganClampitt_ is the fastest man on the track, now in the Top 5 at lap 88.

• 41 to go: @lyonschoice crashes on pit road.
• Move @LoganClampitt_ around @swilson3_ and effectively into second.Now he will try and chase down @KeeganLeahy  with 40 laps to go.
• 38 to go: @LoganClampitt_ has closed the gap to @KeeganLeahy down to just under 2 seconds.
• 32 laps to go.@KeeganLeahy leads by 1.5 seconds over @LoganClampitt_

 29 to go: @GarrettLowe_6 is TIED with @JakeNichols73 for the final stop to avoid relegation. And I believe Nichols has the tiebreaker.

With less than 25 laps to go, @KeeganLeahy's lead is shrinking. We're going to have a WILD finish as @LoganClampitt_ closes in on the leader.https://t.co/yj2VU77Eau pic.twitter.com/SVqQltizKA

• 17 laps to go… was @KeeganLeahy saving a little for the end while @LoganClampitt_ had to push to get there? Does Clamp have anything left in the tank?

• As the field catches the leaders, @KeeganLeahy is starting to pull away… and look who is back in the conversation! @MitchelldeJong1 he here! FIVE LAPS TO GO!
• THE NEW CHAMPION! @KeeganLeahy WINS THE 2021 #eNASCAR Coca-Cola @iRacing Series CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

The HeMy New Cockpit Build Thread – The iRacers Lounge Edition

Well today’s focus would be the pedal system mounting.

I really struggled with getting the old mounts off the stainless steel rod. There’s a little bit of rust and slight imperfections and one side was really really stuck. I ended up putting the stainless rod into the vice put my feet on it and yanked like crazy until it came off.

now to get the new mounts on we’re just as hard. I managed to get three of the four on eventually but the fourth one just won’t go onto the rod. I even took a drill to it to try to open it up a little bit and I was getting close to getting it on but made the fatal mistake of shoving a screwdriver through the screw hole to help twist it and it broke it.

Made a trip to Ace Hardware to see if they have one of course they do not.

so I placed another McMaster order, ugh.

So I got the shifter and mouse pad mounted very easily. Rock solid too.

Now moving on to the integrated triple monitor mount. Right off the bat I’m concerned it’s too close to the wheel to have my cell phone a top it. So I put the uprights on the far two slots.

Then the vario VESA adapters. These come in 1 million pieces and initially was daunting to try to figure out I sorted the pieces in the different piles before I figured out how to do it.

So got the xero play triple pivot adapters installed. Vero vesa adapters are just awesome. It’s a really neat design that allows you to really dial in the alignment of the monitors. Money well spent for sure.

So another day off today as I dig into trying to finish it up. The emergency button I used zip ties and put it below the mouse pad.

Headphone hook is under the keyboard, and power supply on the outside bottom lower left.

Then the pedals. I got the replacement part that I broke yesterday, I didn’t even try to put it on I put it in the vise and drilled it out a bit of course it wasn’t that easy I had to drill it out more than I thought and I went back-and-forth maybe five or six times before I was able to get it on.

Finally the couplers three of the four went on I had to drill out one of them again it took me about 10 different tries before I got it open enough to take that rod.

Then the awesome computer tray from advanced Sim racing.

This worked for me because I didn’t bolt them on the regular uprights I put them on the uprights that I extended above the custom pedal mount I went 2 feet up instead of one on two of the sides…

Then I mounted the Altec Lansing speakers and the Philips hue light strip using zip ties…

Then I went about removing the old cockpit and doing cleanup that hasn’t been done in 7+ years. It was too hard to move so it didn’t.

Then after cleanup I created what I call a network station with my network hub and my Philips Hue Gateway. I then got a metal hook with zip tied three cables for strain relief power network and audio. These coil together and make a snake running to the rig. There’s also a strain relief Velcro hook at the computer… this makes it easy to unplug the entire thing with three plugs coil the snake away and I can roll it around the room easily…

Wiring is complete except for the new power strip I put an old one in there for now.

Next up we’re gonna do a spot check and turn everything on and see how it works before doing cable cleanup.

I took the day off from work tomorrow to finish the project. Most of tomorrow will be fine tuning and adjustments. Cable cleanup. And really figuring out what to do with all the crap that I took out of my office I basically made a huge pile outside and a huge pile in the dining room. Likely that it’ll just be shoved into boxes and put in the garage to deal with later since I’m so tired.

I still need to install the candy dish and figure out a place for my cell phone and a cup holder.

and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get a front mounted to the motor button box sooner rather than later.

So today I worked on getting the alignment right I had to move the heel Plate up much higher and closer to the seat. I didn’t move the entire pedals forward about 4 inches. Then the integrated monitor mount had a slight lean to it. So after considerable effort we got that straightened out. All wiring is in place except for the power strip I’m awaiting delivery of that next. Then cable cleanup.

I also spent a good part of the day with my wife’s assistance cleaning the office out from top to bottom removing a lot of clutter as well they have a much more open space.

I also mounted the chocolate holder.

Then I installed the new power strip and did the cable clean up and did the fine-tuning of the alignment of the monitors.

first road test driving, the gearshift is too far away I could probably live with it but it needs to be 4 inches closer maybe five.

My son came over to help a bit and he took one look at it and said it’s called the “Superman Sim”… The colors on the seat mostly blue with red and a touch of yellow….

So it’s pretty much done I’m going to move the shifter, I got to put the end caps on, but this is it… with lights on. Going racing at some point tonight for sure.

My eyeball is dead center of the monitors top to bottom and left right. I can’t tell you how much of a value it is to pay extra for those special vesa mounts. They made alignment a breeze.

I got the shifter moved. Ran some AI racing first.

And get volume level set nice and loud…

I then ran a Hosted Street stock at Southern national. And then a Hosted Daytona prototype at old Texas oval in the dark. And I won! First win in the new Superman cockpit!

This morning, hammered in the end caps either the rubber mallet. I am glad I bought that tool as it would’ve been really hard to do without it.

Spent about an hour cleaning up the Obutto revolution cockpit.

it’s now officially for sale, you must pick up, 500 bucks. Gilbert AZ. Please someone come get it…

I did place an order today for the ignition controls button box, which will be the final piece of the puzzle. That will conclude the project and so far so good it’s quite comfortable but will still take some getting used to.

Lessons learned: Went over budget a lot. Lol. I use to be a project manager so I am trained professionally to not do that but, oh well it’s only money. My point of reconcile is when I decided I to not worry about the cost I am finishing the project regardless, I only want to do it once, so buy the best you can get.

Wheels. This simple add-on is my favorite feature. I can unhook the snake and sit and spin it in circles. It is so cool that it is self contained and easily movable.

Seat and Belts. Yeah it’s a bit over the top with a stationary rig, but it works well and I think will actually improve my driving. It also gives it color against the black framing which makes it pop.

Phillips Hue strip. The pics and ambiance speak for itself.

• Sunday Open
  • Kyle – P. P5. started P14 and just worked my way up to to top 5 in the first 3 laps and then just held strong. Hit head on a couple of times into Turn 1 but didnt hurt it to bad. Fell 2 laps down but was able to race for a lap back on a 2 pit strategy. Came back and finished a strong P5.

  • Kyle – P P3. Started outside pole. Lap 1 i slid into the back bus stop and hit another car and got spun down out of the groove and sat there for a bit for traffic to go by. Dropped back to P23 and just started working my way towards the front. Had a guy decide he was gonna try to beat me to the front bus stop and ended up basically T-boning me. But continued on and race my way to a P3 on a 1 stop strategy.

Ellis – p6 – Got wrecked in a caution could not miss it – had a bit of damage and down on horsepower but not too bad -did 2 GF stops and cautions come out after both – really set me back both times, both times did a wave around, but I will take a p6…

Rochette P4 was good on the long run led 11 laps. Just not enough laps to get to that sweet sweet spot of Turn 1 and 2. 21st top 5 in all of NiS puts be 3rd on the list 5 more and il have 2nd in that spot

My New Cockpit Build Thread – The iRacers Lounge Edition

Next up got from Etsy a cell phone holder.

This by turned out to be a bust because my big a@@ phone with otterbox doesn’t fit in it. Well it does but you kind of have to push it down in there nice and firm.

So, it’s been relegated to my candy dish. I had a concept for bolting a horizontal ring that a steel bowl could sit in where I would store my Hershey chocolates and sweet tarts. A necessary need for any oval race. I never did find the ring I was hoping for so this will suffice I can put the individual Hershey chocolates in there, maybe six at a time.

i’ll probably figure out something different for the phone I’ve been eyeballing this but it’s so darn expensive.

https://www.tackform.com/products/enduro-series-t-slot-track-ready-phone-mount-short-reach-arm-all-metal-design

Got another arrival the Seat Slider… got the seat stuff from Jegs. I’m still waiting on the seatbelt though…

So far I’ve spent about 100 at Home Depot in two trips. Had to place another order for McMaster Carr to get smaller t nuts for the pedal mount hardware.

Most of the rig arrives Monday or Tuesday I believe I’m getting all the other stuff first…

I’m realizing that it’s going to take me a long time to finish this rig… 

Especially the way I want to get it done with the wiring right. I’m gonna have downtime for sure. 

The power strip I ordered the run the whole thing doesn’t even arrive until the 14th…

My goal is it will be self contained on wheels, all cabling is on the rig and the only thing attached to the outside world is an ethernet cable a power cable and an audio cable (to a sub)…

The other thing is where do I put the new power strip. It’s got to be centrally located I intend to run my USB cables to the two phones and headphones. And those are fairly short cables. I’m kind of thinking to the underside of the computer tray somehow.

Also have my hue light strip to power. The hue hub I can plug in elsewhere I think. I’m also trying to figure out how I’m going to implement the Philips hue strip. In other words where am I going to mount it. My initial thought is behind the three monitors shining down somehow.

I have No Idea at all what I’m doing for sound yet. Guess I need to figure it out. Trying to make do with speakers I have (they’re decent left and right computer speakers but no real way to mount them…) but don’t know where to put or mount them. I don’t think they are mountable. Might be zip tie city behind the monitors is my first reaction…

And another arrival… if there’s any one thing that I’m overdoing this is probably it yeah oh my these things are huge. I was concerned that the top of the belt goes from 3 inch to 2 inch I was thinking oh that’s gonna be too narrow but heck no these things are huge…

Mounting these is still an unknown… I saw somewhere where people were taking the lap and the crotch belt and attaching them together under the seat to each other with no other anchor. So I could do that. They all attached to a ring under the seat and pull on each other. But the shoulder belts because the seat is moving I think they have to attach to the seat somehow it might be weird if they’re attached to the frame and I’m sliding the seat forward and backwards getting in and out…?

Got one more arrival today the computer shell from advanced Sim racing.

OK I got put together the advanced Sim racing computer tray. Very nice. I must say, the lack of offerings on this particular item I was a bit surprised about this was the only one I could find that would fit my tower and it barely fits.

This is something I’m really going to like because my computer currently sits on a piece of particle board spanned across a couple stacks of ammo boxes… #OutOfTheGhetto

I got another piece of the puzzle today, these are the brackets to hold the power supply for the wheel. It’s going to be either mounted under the seat or under the pedals likely against the frame.

I had to place a second order to McMaster Carr for some M6 T nut packages as I had only ordered M8s. I have two extra which will be perfect for the shifter Install.

So now I was able to install these metal round coupler things that the pedals will hang off of.

i’ve only hand tightened it as I’m sure they’ll need to be adjusted once I put the pedals on them.

Well the rig finally arrived and the official build begins!

Wheels on the front a bit funky but functional I got them diagonal with two bolts in the same slot but it’s still rocksolid and the weight distributed directly above the wheel spoke.

I just love the idea that everything is up off the ground and all cabling self-contained.

I got a lot more done than I thought I would tonight.

Well after work today I said in again this time to complete the back half and get the seat done.

The seat slider first even though I watched the Videos I still installed it upside down.

After several times of taking it apart and putting it together I finally figured it out. Then I figured it has to be done in a certain order, put the seat brackets on first then the slider onto the frame then the seat onto the bracket.

And now the seatbelts. Initially I just gathered all the ends underneath the seat and zip tied them. After many experiments I ended up with the lap belts tied separately together with a gap because they were too short. Than the crotch and shoulder belts were zip tied together. Got everything to the right length and it’s nice and snug it stays tight even when the seat slides.

I love the belts are way more comfortable than I thought they would be. The black and yellow things on the shoulders are quick release and quick tighten…

Well I pushed forward with the wheel install. Of course I install the brackets on backwards but it kind a looks like a fanatec tie fighter…

I got it straightened out and installed and mission accomplished there’s no play in the seat or the wheel.

With the seat all the way back the wheel is in the perfect position so I’m not sure the seat slider helps me, or would not be used unless I slide everything forward. Ugh.

My plan for the computer tray isn’t going to work as the wheel is in the way. So I will have to modify that as we go. Going to get some sleep and start on the pedals tomorrow.
