If LLM renamed itself "Team USA" with only the Kings in the lineup, would everything change for the better?

Quote from StableX :Not said yet....



Quote from Steve Myers :We just wrapped up our weekly engineering meeting and we have made the decision that we have one last item that we want to get into our next release but it will not be finished until next week. With the first pro series race taking place on Tuesday night we will not release the build until Wednesday at the earliest but it will be out by the end of the week.

A quick update on the new tire model which is improved over our August release.

Legends, MX-5 Cup car and Roadster, SRF, Street Stock and Late Model will all be on the new tire model. The Skip Barber car, 3 NASCAR vehicles, HPD and Ford GT will be updated to the current iteration of the new tire model. All of the cars being released on the new tire model have also been tweaked in other areas to adapt them to the new model. We have also made a lot of progress on the other vehicles but these are the vehicles we have been focused on and are most comfortable with right now.

Obviously there is much more coming in the next release some of which can be seen in the current episode of iRacingTV. We will plan to post the full release notes next week.

What is etiquette, and how do you code it?

Can you actually show some pics or replays because your descriptions of these incidents aren't very clear...

As for Le Mans, GT drivers are told to hold their line and the faster LMPs will get around them, with better acceleration and manoeuvrability.

Are you looking for real life rules/scenarios or did you mistakenly put this in the wrong section?

Quote from iRacing :Week 13 is here. With 2011 Season 3 in the rear view mirrors and the fierce competition of Season 4 just over the horizon, call the coming seven days and 168 hours of sim racing the fun before the storm.

“Officially” speaking, we have the Week 13 Street Stock Challenge and the Week 13 Legends Road Series, along with the iRacing.com Gymkhana Challenge. The Week 13 Street Stock Challenge runs a Thompson, South Boston, Lanier, Oxford Plans and Charlotte Motor Speedway (both the quarter mile Legends oval and the 1.5 mile speedway) while the Legends Road Series visits Lime Rock, Summit Point and Okayama International Circuit. In contrast, the Gymkhana Challenge features just one track – the infield road course at Iowa Speedway – but three different cars in the Pontiac Solstice, Mazda MX-5 Cup and Spec Racer Ford.

The Street Stock Challenge and Legends Road Series are official series, so Safety Ratings and iRatings apply and competitors have a final chance to increase their license ratings before the official license promotions for Season 4 are finalized at week’s end. Likewise, rookies who have yet to complete the category-specific minimum participation requirements for graduation to a D license (two official races or four time trials in each category) have one last chance to do so in Week 13.

The Gymkhana Challenge, on the other hand, is not wheel-to-wheel competition so the only thing at risk at is your safety rating . . . and pride! But the winner in each class takes home a championship and 50 iRacing credits.

“Unofficially” speaking, we are once again serving-up the Carburetor Cup and Formula Fun, two fixed setup series that give everyone a chance to sample iRacing’s fastest cars – the Impala Class A (at Talladega Superspeedway) and the Williams-Toyota FW31 (at the full Okayama International Circuit).

Impala Class A and Williams-Toyota FW31 not your cups of tea? No worries, there’s plenty more on tap. How about the Week 13 Sprint Car Series at Thompson, New Hampshire, Lainer, Richmond, USA International and South Boston? Or the Week 13 Silverado Series at Charlotte, Iowa and ‘Dega?

Like turning left and right while racing 59 other sim racers? Then the Week 13 Production Enduro is for you, with 60 car fields of MX-5 Cup, Pontiac Solstice and SpecRacer Fords going at it for 15 laps at Spa-Francorchamps. Like the same kind of action but with a little more “grunt?” Sign-up for the Week 13 Prototype and GT Series at Suzuka, where we’ll have 60 car fields of HPD ARX01s on Tuesday and Wednesday, Ford GTs on Thursday and Friday and Corvette C6.Rs on Saturday and Sunday. While those races are all 15 lappers, the series’ grand finale features all three cars running in 90 minute races every three hours beginning at 01:00 GMT on Sunday.

Did we miss anything? You bet we did. We’re also running the 24 Hours of Fun featuring the Star Mazda at our sensational new road circuit, Oulton Park, as soon as the Season 4 build is released.

Official or unofficial; oval or road, racing or gymkhana, open wheel, sports or stock car, there’s something for every iRacer the fun before the storm known as Week 13.

Road Leg ends = win

Small update, noticed I had introduced a bug with the trimming of pitstops, so it's now fixed.

Either download the web tracker from the OP or get the stats2array.php file from dropbox.

He's not actually from America, he's British but lives over there now, therefore understands English perfectly unlike Romanians, and is sensible enough to know what he's talking about.

If you made the FXR the same speed on the straight it would rape everyone in the corners. As GTAL proved, if you put fast guys in the FXR they can be fast and win.

Logic dictates that if we make the FXR faster so that the relatively slower drivers can be competitive then the fast drivers will join and go faster than the FZR/XRRs! Reminds me of GT3 Cup where they removed 1% so that Ray Kings could go faster but then that meant we had Isaac in the FXR owning everyone at KY2...

Quote :This game actually punishes a driver who can find the limit

Bullshit, it punishes those who go over the limit. It's endurance racing as well, you're not supposed to be going over the limit otherwise your car won't last. And remember, the tyre physics are the same for everyone.

As for trusting you, I think Deko has plenty of other trustworthy and fast drivers that have done lots of testing, plus we also have a few years of data to go on to make sensible and not kneejerk reactions just on the results of one race :rolleyes:

So please, post your setup and I'm sure the faster drivers will give it a go...

Quote from jsrk :Hi,

When car 76 passed me my car from touched a little light hit, but there was lag also. When i always so him i so him lagging for me at least. Sometimes i didn't know where he was going because of the lag
But i am very sorry

-jsrk-

If there is lag, give room - 76 was in the top lane of the oval and you were in lane 2 - there was no need to move up towards him...

Hmm seems like Plato is back in it...

And did anyone else see the Ginetta race? So epic, carnage on lap 1, a bird on the track getting killed, lead pair go off at Paddock Hill, Niall Murray up to 3rd from the back and the top 4 covered by 0.3s!

Especially given the amount of fake charities that are propped up by those taxes!

Looking at the layout on the server, seems to me that it's an older version that's been loaded, I'm sure Deko will load the up to date one supported by Airio soon.
