Special Event Races Archive - KCE Racing League

All, I am putting a GitR Done Racing car in the Roar coming up January 14-16, 2022. The roar is a solo endurance event. This 2.4 hour event will feature GT4’s, Touring Cars, and the Global MX-5. I will be running on Saturday at 12:00 Est. I actually may run it in many time slots but this time slot will be my main focus to have others join me if they would like. If anyone is interested in representing Git'R Done Racing and would like I can provide a Git'r Done Racing paint to run. Just let me know if your interested in running will me in that time slot or would like to represent with a pain so I can get the paints schemes setup. I think it would be really cool having a few of our drivers out there in Git'r Done Paint and running the field. (edited)

me……….. what car are you going to run

I'm running a GT4

12:04 PM

Don't know which yet. Looking now

there is only 3

If we all did the same car that'll be even more cool. But being a single person event it don't really matter. Just more I have to paint… I LOVE to paint

I would like to run. Please provide me with which car and paint when you have it. I have no preference on the car. Thanks koko.

12:49 PM

McLaren?

That’s what it’s looking like

I'll be doing this in the civic if you want to make a gitr done logo layer

12:53 PM

I have to set up my monitors to be able to paint again miss painting

You can run a civic? Is that in the touring class?

From ( @Paintball_Dude72 ) my dad said something about the 24 hrs of daytona race. That sounds really fun. I have to work Saturdays until like 530pm or 6pm, then don't go back in till around 4pm or 430pm Sunday and get off at 530am or 6am, if you guys could use me. (edited)

3:28 PM

(Moved to proper location)

3:33 PM

@Paintball_Dude72 we will be announcing intentions for the Daytona 24 within the next day. We will definitely see if we can work that schedule out to get you some seat time. The only problem is there is an IRacing rule that all drivers have to drive close to equal laps to count so the schedule will be critical. Once we see how many drivers we have we will get you in somehow. We will love to have you and anyone else that’s interested (edited)

Love that. That sounds like a lot of fun

It’s a blast. You just might be running 2 seat stints close to each other so you can get the laps in then some sleep before you go back to work…… lmao

Yeah, that's fine with me

Each seat stunt is about 2 hours

I can even do a double stint if necessary

3:37 PM

I'll Starr practicing for UT

Dependent on how many drivers are in the car

It*

3:37 PM

Do you know if it'll be open setup or default?

It’s open

Awesome. I'll start working on something

But all of us will have one setup

Yeah, I'll go for stability and control

You can’t have multiple per drivers

Then yall can try out what I come up with as I have it

Kinda has to work for all of that makes sense

Yeah, I'll try to adjust it to be real good and drivable

It’s actually not a problem for most. (edited)

See if I can put together something faster than the default at least

3:39 PM

I'll get back to you after I've put some time in

Absolutely

3:40 PM

I get mine from vrs or pay for a good one if I need to (edited)

Yeah, I already pay for vrs, so I'll see if they have something and go from there.

It’s about being safe. Fast is a plus, but clean, safe and consistent is where the race is won.

7:14 PM

It also has to be something that all drivers are comfortable in. Something’s it takes us weeks to get something everyone is happy with

It also has to be something that all drivers are comfortable in. Something’s it takes us weeks to get something everyone is happy with

Yes sir. Well said

I Double that Chris………slow and steady…. thats what she said anyways

Waking up at 3am to drive 2hrs…. that training starts immediately

1

I can do the ROAR but only on the 14th. I am on call the rest of the weekend. I don't own any GT4's but will purchase whatever one you choose. I am definitely interested in the 24 hour.

I think Ed was giving the Porsche GT4 a ringing endorsement.

Yes… I really like the cayman

6:22 PM

Both the Porsche and the McLaren are fast. The McLaren is a little more edgy under braking. Porsche is solid and communicates it's intentions very well

When can you sign up for the ROAR on iracing?

Before the session starts like any other official event. Next Friday thru sunday

1

Are the setups fixed? What is the best one to practice in? Baseline, Endurance, High Medium low downforce

it depends on what you are going to run for the race

11:03 PM

since you can have open setups

11:03 PM

It's NOT a fix setup race

11:03 PM

Mike and I are doing the Mclaren

11:03 PM

I am doing paints for them if you want to run it

Yup, I have the McLaren also. Can you throw it up on trading paints when your done? I did a 72 minute test race tonight with 46 AIs equal with all 3 classes. I did 38 laps and 1 pitstop and took no tires. The car felt good.

will do

2

11:16 PM

I will post link here when I have them. I plan to have at least 3 variations

11:16 PM

I have 2 already. Maybe 4 if I can

11:18 PM

I'll make them private and only available to members here

11:18 PM

Also I'm going to look for a fast setup for us to share if people want it

Awesome. Thanks.

Are we allowed to pass below the yellow line? I can while racing the AI, but not sure if allowed during the ROAR.

McLaren correct?

yes sir

9:44 AM

thank you for the help

Those are the pilot series sets for Daytona, so should be a good close start (edited)

Ran some laps in the Hyundai, it’s awesome at Daytona

Ive got some school work to do today, but am thinking about verifying your hype and trying it tonight if I have time

@Chris Sawallich Thank you very much. Saved me some time…. .You rock buddy

it's cup race night for us…

9:49 AM

i might set something up early this afternoon

I was looking at Majors also, but they only have the sets for the TCR's and Mx-5 posted so far (edited)

I used to have VRS subscription but let it go because I wasn't using it.

Yea, i don't know why I keep it either. Barely ever use it myself, although the telem has help me a alot when prepping for the big events. I rather support the smaller shops most of the time anyway. VRS has turned into a money grab

Yes, I use Z1 for telem now because it controls my 3 dash displays

9:54 AM

@everyone Here is what I have so far for the Daytona 24hr race. If you plan to run with us please give a thumbs up and I will add your name to the list so I can publish the schedule. Drivers: KoKoPuffs Mike Everhart Gary Kipfer Jeremy Rogers Ray Smith Todd Bosworth Spotters: JT Rogers (edited)

@Streaming Dude #003 I cant do the roar but I definitely want to do the 24

Todd Bosworth #28

@Streaming Dude #003 I cant do the roar but I definitely want to do the 24

You were added.

Thank you

Todd Bosworth #28

Thank you

So far my fastest laps have been with the Low Downforce baseline, slightly quicker than the VRS set but none of these is with full fuel load. The VRS set should be updated today or tomorrow.

What lap time did you run? I got my fastest time with the baseline, but low downforce was very close.

12:03 PM

My fastest was 1:55.9 with consistent 1:56-57 times.

We can't really go off of one drivers fastest lap because we need a stable car as only one can be selected. So stability and consistency accross all of us is the key here. Multiple drivers make it hard to select a car that suites everyone. But lets all kepp that in mind when testing out all these cars

Just trying to get an idea of how off I am compared to more experienced guys.

1:54.1 with consistent mid 54,s but It also felt the most stable to me.

1

I would suggest we all test the same of the 3 can then see what each of us think. Then go with majority if that works for everyone

1

I think we are talking about the ROAR which is individual.

Ah, Thought you were talking 24. Sorry

12:06 PM

LMAO

12:07 PM

I'm putting up a 24 text chat area

No worries. BTW, this is fun. I think I am addicted to multiclass.

2

Wait until you finish your first 24, its such an accomplishemnt

Gary Kipfer #9

No worries. BTW, this is fun. I think I am addicted to multiclass.

Multiclass is fun. I did a lot of it it in the old Grand Touring series. It got to gimicky for me when they moved it all into the Production Car Challenge so I stopped. Pity though because in my opinion the FR500 Mustang is one the best learning platforms for GT classes. It should be good for people who are more oval oriented too. It feels more like a stock car. Big, heavy and under tired with enough power to get you in trouble but not be overwhelming.

So there was talk about potentially running a different car for the 6 hrs at Watkins to maybe the bmw. Which I’d be down for. Not to get too if track but would there be any people at all or interest in running a lmp2 class?

Adam I’m sorry but we run gt3 cars through our Git’r Done events. We are not a road league or a road team league. (edited)

no worries

If someone wants to run lmp2 then by all means please feel free to join one of the team leagues out there. Ed Adam’s runs a team league for events maybe you would like to reach out to him directly. We are kind of a feeder league for his team league. He lets guys like you race in the team cars and they run all types. We run gt3 to introduce guys to events

gotcha

Can we get a poll going for Bathurst car, Up Arrow for Mustang, Down Arrow for Holden?

2:37 AM

@all

We are running the mustang.

4

If you want some practice guys, the AI does a good job in iRacing as the track and cars are in there.

3

I’m seeing some Hosted Bathurst practice sessions showing up too. AI is really good though!

Is it open setup?

Yes, endurance races are open. We normally get a VRS setup from the team to use.

Cool, guess we should try to practice with that if we can

We will this week.

@Jack Jagerman @Ray Smith #72 Do either of you have access to the VRS setup for the Ford Mustang for Bathurst?

Gary Kipfer #9

@Jack Jagerman @Ray Smith #72 Do either of you have access to the VRS setup for the Ford Mustang for Bathurst?

I do. I can get it posted later today for the teams.

Jack Jagerman

I do. I can get it posted later today for the teams.

Thanks Danny.

Most likely a dumb question but What Mustang is it??

Supercars Ford Mustang GT

Man that is one Ugly looking car

2:20 PM

well 12 bucks here we go

Come on now, that's not ugly?!?!

2

Pretty damn fast! Easy to lose it with base Bathurst Setup

1

2:22 PM

Nice job Danny!

VRS Setup is here; it is for the Holden, but it does not make a difference as the Supercar setups are like the NASCAR setups, interchangeable.

nice!!! it would be sick if the white lines were chrome but it's still a beaut

That car is not KoKo approved. It was only a thought when I had some extra time, but I do like that idea.

2

do we know what session we are running sat?

I'm hoping for some confirmation later today from KoKo. However, I would suspect the 12:00GMT/8am EST slot will be the one as it has been in the past.

@wolfe @Pete Norquay #289 @Gary Kipfer #9 @Adam Brockway @Edwin Post #79 @whodatboy @Tim Kennedy #88 @Jamie Bray @KCE Racing #3 Hey guys! We are a few days away from the Bathurst 1000 (161 laps) team endurance event scheduled for Saturday, September 17th. Everyone tagged indicated interest in the event. I am reaching out in order to confirm driver count and establish the teams. The event should be approximately 6 hours in length (race time); three (3) drivers per team should be sufficient. The goal is to work the team rosters for a similar iRating for each team. Once the drivers are confirmed and teams established, there will be team captains for each to register the team on race day. MTF with scheduling and specific instructions.

just need to do this for 2 hours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jHUjT02OhY

Supercars

Scott McLaughlin completes first 2.03 at Mount Panorama, Bathurst

I unfortunately can’t make this one.

1

This is one I wanted to make but too much on the go.

Fastest I have been able to run as of yet, just need to get consistency

Yes consistency. I’ve got to find a smooth rhythm for a fuel run … ~20-laps w/ Bathurst setup. Did you get a fuel run tonight @wolfe ?

What time is the race Saturday? Won’t be home now until about 6 as my wife came up with some plans. I might have to sit this one out

We do the Saturday morning 8am ET time slot.

getting better! And @Edwin Post #79 I am getting ~18.5 but I will run another this afternoon

1

Thomas when will you be on this afternoon. I can not keep the tires planted car is very squirrely. Got it to 2:11.756..

Probs will be in GT3 practice this evening ~8 not 100% sure yet @Pete Norquay #289

I will update the setup this evening that has 100% fuel load the current setup has 75%

Jack Jagerman

I will update the setup this evening that has 100% fuel load the current setup has 75%

Thanks Danny!

A couple of NOOB questions. Should I really be on the right side of the car? Why does the dash not work? How you stop the car from getting off the ground and loosing traction?

Gary Kipfer #9

A couple of NOOB questions. Should I really be on the right side of the car? Why does the dash not work? How you stop the car from getting off the ground and loosing traction?

Lmao well technically you could move the cockpit camera over to the left, but the rest you’re on your own

I did my first hour of testing. That was an interesting experience. Cannot run a fuel load without crashing yet, but I'm starting to figure it out.

Yeah it’s been interesting for sure … not like the Ferrari lol. Took a few sessions to run 20 laps 0x.

I don't know if you guys use irffb but I adjusted my settings to this and it helped ALOT

2

6:46 PM

Can feel the car slip and sit into corners a lot better

Ya I'm 87laps in to it second day. And finally getting a hang of it. The car is not the issue it's me. But just so you know I still don't like the FORDS. Just like the 84 fox body that I have it's Lucy goosy.

I won't be there tonight as I have internet issues. Also my wife has drag my ass to a Thursday baseball game Toronto against Tampa Bay I'm hoping to be 3 sheets to the wind by the time the game starts..

I've only been to one game at the Sky Dome and it was Jay's vs Ray's. Was up for the Molson Iindy with my son so I took him.

@Ray Smith #72

Another 30 laps in. Still cannot complete a fuel run without wrecking. But the car feels better. I guess I need to back it down a little.

That’s what I’m finding too Gary. Got to throttle your way around particularly thru the Quarry all the way thru the Dipper … at least I do. Again thru Chase.

Got Roughly 22 laps on fuel run.

Do you guys blip throttle to downshift or shift with clutch and right foot brake?

I cannot do the blip. I use the clutch and right foot brake.

I didn’t get the full fuel load setup loaded yet. I recommended filling the tank before making any fuel runs.

10:54 AM

I think it fills at 29.3

Yup, 29.3 gallons and about 25 laps.

So the current spreadsheet shows eight stints; seven full and one stint around 18 laps. I know we’ve had a few drop out. In order to build the driver stints and see if we should run a second car or not, I need a driver confirmation for this weekend. (edited)

@Gary Kipfer #9 @wolfe @Pete Norquay #289 @Edwin Post #79 ok gents, it looks like it will be the five of us for Saturday morning. I haven't heard from @whodatboy or @Adam Brockway and @Jamie Bray has "honey-dos" on Saturday. I will build the schedule tonight after the race and hopefully publish it here. It looks like everyone will have one stint and three drivers will have two stints (the last being an almost stint).

1

I'm in. Remember I am 4-hrs earlier on AST.

Edwin Post #79

I'm in. Remember I am 4-hrs earlier on AST.

damn, I guess I put you late on the schedule

1

@Gary Kipfer #9 @wolfe @Pete Norquay #289 @Edwin Post #79 here is the recommended scheduled. All times are EST except for Edwin's which "should" be his time zone. If anyone has an issue, please let me know as adjusts should be easy. Thomas, I broke up your second stint, but if you want them back to back let me know. I just thought you might want a break. This will be a tough one this weekend boys and if we finish, I'll be impressed. (edited)

10:53 PM

Yeah breaking them up is okay

1

10:58 PM

Looks good to me! Think if we are able to keep the car clean, check up for spins on top the hill, we should finish pretty strong

I will be on tomorrow night around 7:30 PM ET time if anybody wants to join the discord practice. If anybody needs practice getting in and out of the car or spotting, let me know.

This is my first enduro race

We normally ask the next driver in the car to arrive early and spot for the person before them.

Probs would be good to prac the driver swap for me

@wolfe what is your iRacing member #?

208199

We will cover that tomorrow Thomas. Its really easy.

Sounds good

@wolfe @Edwin Post #79 @Pete Norquay #289 please accept the KCE Racing team invite in your "My Teams" area in the UI. This will place you on the team and is required. The team paint should load once Trading Paints updates.

Looks good Danny! Thanks for setting this up. Will try and make the practice session tomorrow.

1

I won't be in practice tonight. Have a job scope that has to be resolved tonight.

No worries. You're a vet when it comes to this.

I will be there to practice some

good luck to all drivers tomorrow. HAve a great time

5

Good luck you filthy animals! Go burn some fuel and kill some tires!!!

6

Unfortunately I’m scheduled for work on Saturday so Petit LeMans is out for me. If by chance I don’t work I would willing to jump in and spot f needed. Good luck gentlemen

Eric Whiting

Bummer Eric! Will miss your spotting expertise and typical hard racing stints!!

There is a good chance work gets canceled but won't know til late in the week. If I don't work spotting will likely be a possibility

We will get the setup soon so you can start testing. We will be running the Ferrari. For anybody that needs help with driver swap and spotting, we will be doing that training Friday night at 7:30 PM ET. Let us know if you have any questions.

I can't run Petit but I can run practice with you on Friday night and be a moving chicane or angry LMP2 driver if you want… Lemme know….

The more the merrier on Friday.

Gary Kipfer #9

The more the merrier on Friday.

In which role would you like me? Slow and unpredictable GT3 or aggressive LMP2?

We get pretty low splits and do not normally have LMP2s on the track. So, probably the GT3 option.

1

Here are all the sets. Unfortunately I have a commitment on Sunday that does not include my wife so there is no way I would get away with two days on a long weekend without her. Nor do I want to, so no soup for me again. I will make Suzuka for sure, already cleared it. And like Dale I will be happy to be a nuisance for you guys in practice on Friday (edited)

Thank you @Ray Smith #72! @Gary Kipfer #9 … will we be using the _R1 or _R1_SAFE?

Try both and let me know what you think.

Unfortunately I can't drive this weekend but may be able to spot depending on work. Won't know til Friday for sure

I should be able to run on Friday night but I'm in the same boat as Eric about work. 50/50 if work gets canceled

whodatboy

Jarred. We need drivers that are 100% sure. We need to create a schedule and get teams setup in iracing ahead of time. Due to fair share, if a driver cannot drive, the whole team gets disqualified. We will get you next time.

9:37 AM

@Tony Jennings #253 @Adam Brockway @Michael Everhart Last call guys. We will be putting the schedule together later today. (edited)

Please use this setup for the race.

Jamie Bray

Gary if you need a driver I can run, I will be home Saturday. But if you’re set, good luck guys!!

One more would be great. 5 drivers, 10 hours. The math works.

I won’t be home until Friday night to start my practice but yeah I will do it with you guys. Count me in

It's not a tough track and pretty common on the schedule. If you have run it before, it's easy to get up to speed.

@KCE Racing #3 The team is set. 5 drivers, two hours each. @Todd Bosworth #28 @Edwin Post #79 @wolfe @Gary Kipfer #9 and @Jamie Bray.

Will put the team in IRacing and send invites in the morning

3

We drive the Ferrari and the setup we will be using is posted above my me. We start Saturday morning with practice at 8 am ET, qualifying at 8:30 am ET, race starts 8:40 am. 10 hours of fun. The goal is to have fun, race smart, race clean, and pass all the wreckers. We will have testing Friday at 7:30 pm ET for anybody that needs instructions on driver change, spotting, and getting into the session. Schedule will be out tomorrow. We need to make sure we are friends in iracing and friends with Koko and his streaming account under Janice Tarson.

@Todd Bosworth #28 Todd Bosworth #28 @Edwin Post #79 Edwin Post #79 @wolfe Thomas Wolfe #23 @Jamie Bray #99 I will be in practice voice channel tonight at 7:30 PM ET. Its not mandatory if your comfortable with the track and have done endurance races before. If you need help with how to join the race, how to spot, and how to swap drivers, please join and we can cover that. Iracing has practice servers set up for Petit Le Mans and we will jump into one of those servers. I plan to be there from 7:30 to 9:30. For the race tomorrow, please join one hour before your race schedule to help spot for the driver before you. This will get you familiar with the drivers you might be racing around on your stint. Of course your welcome to be their any other times also. (edited)

Are you hosting a practice or jumping in an official? I have some frustration to work out and harassing y’all to help prep for the real event feels like a good time.

Thanks everyone! Had a blast!

Great job everyone. Sorry I looped it on the first run, just a lack of practice and talent. Redeemed myself on the second one. So so much fun. Always wanted to do this so thank you for having me on the team!! Look forward to many more hopefully. (edited)

Thanks so much bud. You guys did great. They are so much fun and so different from what I (we) normally do. I don't like turning right, but I do love being on one of our endurance teams when I can.

Just finished watching all 10 hours. Great job everyone

Good job guys watching from work between jobs made me want to be out there with you guys .

Suzuki 10 hours in a month.

anyone going to run the daytona 24

We run it every year

We run all the special events. Suzuki 10 hours is in November. Join us on Thursday for GT3 racing if your interested. If your not C license in road, you need to be to participate. There is also the ROAR a week before Daytona. It's a solo event and a great event also.

I'm B class in road, I had ran the 24 the last 2 years. I was hoping to find a group that took it a little more serious than my past teams. the ROAR is a really fun event, those weeks of daytona are my favorite road stuff

I did the d24 this year and my only claim to fame was ending my first stint in 3rd place, then the driver swap happened and about 20 minutes in their pc locked up at the busstop and sent us in for about I think 30 minutes of repairs. After they got back on track and going and it was pretty smooth from their. Tho I headed to bed around midnight so didn't get to catch any of the late night stuff but aparently went in for repairs a lot more than I had hoped. Woke up and dragged that car to the finish for the last 4 hours. Somehow made it home but sadly in 30th. Didn't matter tho, was happy as hell to say we finished a 24hr race

With endurance our goals are to have fun, run clean, be consistent, and we always finish. We finished in the top 10 about 25% of the time. I think the worse I've seen was 19th. It's always a good time with a supportive group.

3

Consistency is really key over the 24hr.

if you can keep the car out of trouble and moving on the track, everything should work out

I know in the past we have stuck with the Ferrari, could we potentially do a poll on what car to race for Sazuka? All good if not @KCE Racing #3

Sorry. The events are locked into the Ferrari as it is the most stable platform for our drivers New to events.

Hey folks! I’m back from the void, lots going on at home and work this time of year. I’ll keep an eye out for y’all in the Suzuka race. Good luck regardless!!!

Works for me. I will likely be on most of the race to help with strategy and spotting as usual.

I know it's last minute but you guys got room for 1 more driver, even if it's only an hour?

Daytona 24 and Sebring 12h Winner, know how to keep it on track and not bin the car

Sorry Jay. We have the rosters already completed for the two cars. When we have two teams, we try to balance the IR so we get into the same race. Looking forward to racing with you soon.

ALL, You have an invite into a KCERacing team for tomorrow please accept invite or you will not be able to race. IRacing need you in there to allow you to join in the race.

@KCE Racing #3 I don't see an invite in iRacing/Teams for this event. I'm on an existing Team joined w/ you, Todd and Eric in 2019. ??

That’s cool. You should be good Edwin

@KCE Racing #3 Just saw the post to accept invite to the team. Is the invite in Iracing? I will look for it and accept it in about 30 minutes if that works.

Yes, iracing, teams area. Look for Kce team 2. Click on it and accept.

@Gary Kipfer #9 will do thanks! (edited)

@Pete Norquay #289 We need you to accept koko's team invite for car 2 tonight. We cannot add you as a driver in the morning at 6am without that. Thanks. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone for the help tonight, it really helped, I look forward to watching both teams and racing on the team.

Good job all!

Great job all. It was a great event once again.

Sorry to my team for the accident that put us behind the 8 Ball to start

Awesome run guys. Had both cars in the top 10 at one point. Tough day at a tough track. Sorry for all the X's during my stints and the damage. With all the trouble I had outside the car I've gotta think it effected my driving (inconsistent and slow).

6:12 PM

@KCE Racing #3 that wasn't your fault, wrong place at the wrong time.

Eric Whiting

As long as you had fun it was a great run. Xs were tough not to get at this track. Everyone has good runs

Had an awesome time driving my stint and watching our KCE Racing Teams compete. Really proud to be with this League! Thanks @KCE Racing #3 !

Danny awesome job for getting to see what 1st place is like in one of these events, Sorry I could not keep it up there. But I did keep the car in pretty good shape. Tony you did an awesome for your first run. Gary great job as well…. as a whole the team walks away with 5th place, 38 incent points for a 10 hour run.. As been stated from the other team Koko and Gary thank you for your hard work for making this a great event. Team 1 as many times that you guys were kicked down… you guys kept on fighting, you all never gave up….. As the first year closes for these special events this league has shown what fun these events can be. Looking forward to next year and hoping that I can put more time in to it…….

Good job boys!!!

Yes, thanks to: Koko and Gary for putting it together, Danny it was amazing to watch you thread your way from the back all the way to a First place in the Your stint, Mike watching you get around the track and keeping us in contention helped me not be quite so anxious. I had a great time but really was slow, but then Gary comes in and lays down some really good laps to make up for most of my slowness. Nice Team to be on. On top of all that Ed Adams and Danny shared some insights into the basic in car adjustments that made the car so much easier to drive, there would have been a lot more x’s on my stint if not for their help. And lastly, thanks to Edwin for talking me into trying the endurance race it really was a lot of fun. I’m sure I missed some people, but it’s a great league to be a part of. (edited)

I had a great time yesterday, as always, running the endurance race. It is always a blast doing these events and watching the chaos that comes with it. Looking forward to the next one… let’s go to Daytona baby!!!

Congrats to all the drivers who participated I want to try this some time in the future looked like fun !

Mentioned above but just to have it here, I can only race later Saturday evening, through the night preferably. Sorry for the lack of flexibility team! @Gary Kipfer #9

No worries. You are not the only person. Its party of the scheduling.

so i ran the "R" setup

11:58 AM

felt pretty good but seems like iw as really slow

11:59 AM

was stuck in the 46s 47s

11:59 AM

I tried running the qualifying setup and was in the 45s

11:59 AM

is it just slow cuz its full fuel?

speed is not the goal. Consistency is

1

copy that

12:00 PM

I was pretty comfortable with the R setup

12:00 PM

I didnt try the saffe setup as i think R is going to work

Yup consistency is key, also good to get out there and practice with the other class cars whipping around

seems liek theres an issue with our skin

12:04 PM

Have to set it to the correct paint preset

12:05 PM

That determines where the numbers are on the car

The nomber on the hood is sitting on the KCE picture, and the side number is white and doesnt show up

the least of our worries but will be fixed.

copy that i had no intention on running any. My irating is 1491 only cuz i dont really race offical races the last 3 years

12:19 PM

if i did i'm probably closer to 2-2500

Most of us are in the same boat. I did 5 official races in 2022 and do not care to even go back.

Invites accepted. I’m really digging Daytona road. Much more than I thought I would. Can’t wait for Saturday. It’s going to be a blast.

I love how technical the infield section is. All the corners are different. Special place for sure.

I really enjoy the drafting aspect of it too. It’s unique for sure.

And the bus stop is so evil.

I know it’s mostly just me being dumb but not having raced on a good number of tracks still it’s a big time commitment for me to get comfortable. I’m a perfectionist and need to feel competitive so that equals lots of practice laps.

We are trying to put all the endurance tracks on every league racing season. That should help us to get used and get better on those tracks. I think that is like 7 tracks. Daytona, Bathurst, Spa, Watkins Glen, Seabring, Suzuka, and Road Atlanta.

Or, quit your job and do league racing, official racing, and endurance racing. How can I sign up for that?

THIS!!!! I want this

^ i second this

The following people need to accept team invites for the 24 hours of Daytona or you cannot race. We want you to accept invites for BOTH cars. @Jack Jagerman Car 1, @Jamie Bray Car 1 & 2, @Nathan Robinson #212 Car 1 & 2, @Pete Norquay #289 Car 1, @Todd Bosworth #28 Car 2. Thanks

My son's basketball game time has changed for Saturday. I will need to make a switch in my timeslot. If Eric is able I can switch with his time slots.

Not a problem. Eric has indicated he has no restricted time.

2:37 PM

2:38 PM

@Eric Whiting Let me know if this still works for you. I swapped you and Nathan on both timeslots. I believe Eric already offered to help keep @Todd Bosworth #28 awake anyway.

I’ll think about it

I think I know who will organize the next endurance race.

What is that Team name? Oh im saving that for blackmail lmao

Hey Team Bros. I just cannot drive the Race setup. Im all over the place. And slow AF. I would really prefer not to wad it up for the rest of you guys. Im about 1-1.5 seconds quicker in the safe setup. Didn’t run a full fuel load but after 10 laps I was down to low 146’s. Sorry I just don’t have enough seat time in these cars to handle the looseness.

Interesting

7:53 PM

I was able to drive find with the R setup, but i was also super slow. Runing 46s and 47s

7:55 PM

Just curious, I am subscribed to VRS…are you guys interested in trying their Daytona 24 setup they released tast week?

7:55 PM

When I managed a clean lap I was in the low to mid 147’s. I was 146’s right out of the pits on the safe setup. I think these are the VRS sets. (edited)

Savitar87c

Just curious, I am subscribed to VRS…are you guys interested in trying their Daytona 24 setup they released tast week?

This is VRS Setups.

ah gotcha

we are racing with the R setup then?

Jamie Bray

we are racing with the R setup then?

well he's on Car 2, so maybe they run a different setup than us. I'm fine with the R setup

8:04 PM

any of you guys wanting to run some practice together tonight?

I can practice some later this evening if we want to

9 est?

8:17 PM

i'm down

8:17 PM

or 10est…just let me know when

Gave the race another go. Adjusted the brake bias up and one click up on the TC and I am confident I can drive it without looping it. Safe was still faster for me though.

8:27 PM

I don’t particularly care for how it feels in the bus stop and entering the banking.

I will test tomorrow and let you know my findings.

1

I’ll probs practice at 10

If anybody wants to join the same practicce together hop on for the next 10 minutes then we'll find one to join. Im in practice channel

I'm not a fan of the Ferrari. Prior to the updates, my best lap there was a low 1:44 – I am now 3 seconds off that time with the current car. It's loose at times and tight as fuck coming out of the bus stop. It will be an interesting race and I'll be shocked if I have anything to drive at 5:40am Sunday morning. (edited)

I ran the safe set for a full fuel run in 24 practice room tonight. By the end of the run I was running 1:46 flats with fastest lap 1:45.8 on low fuel. ABS down to 6 and starting brake bias 51. I lowered it to 50 near the end as I was trying some in car to help the car. The car feels slow and nose heavy on cold tires. It feels much better after 3-5 laps. I agree the bus stop is slow as it seems to understeer on the right hand turn through exit.

10:47 PM

my tires after 16 laps

10:47 PM

finally got into the 1:45.4 on lap 16 of my run

Lap times for @wolfe @Savitar87c @Eric Whiting and @Edwin Post #79

11:26 PM

we were all runing the R setup

My lap was only the 3rd timed lap of the run

got sub 145, no draft

Thanks to @Savitar87c we now have this posted in our social media. Kind of cool I think. Thank you Jay! "This Saturday January 21st KCE Racing will be in our first iRacing Special event of the year, the 24 Hours of Daytona. We will have two cars running this year with 12 of our league drivers. Make sure to join our live stream starting at 7:30 AM Eastern Time!" (edited)

GUYS, STOP THE OBSESSION WITH LAP TIMES. WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT LAP TIMES. WE DO ENDURANCE RACES FOR FUN AND YOUR ABILITY TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE TRACK.

Friday night 7:30 we will be having a team practice for the 24. Please meet in Practice voice channel if you can attend. This is for both cars as it does not matter where you are placed for this practice. We will go out into the open practices in individual cars and then at the end of the night have a team get in the car and swap drivers and go over spotting for someone. See you then if you can make it. (edited)

I can make it about 8:30.

Sounds good. See you then.

We will be there

@Pete Norquay #289 you must accept team 1 invite as well. Please do this ASAP.

Sorry Gary. We werent trying to make the laptimes a big deal, we were just sharing what we're learning. Several of us didnt have any experience with the Ferarri so we were just working together to learn.

One of the hardest things doing these is getting a car everyone likes. With that said we see this every event where some like the setup and some don't. But being this event makes us deal with 6 different drivers with different driving styles and 6 different hardware (Wheels and Pedals) makes making everyone happy impossible. So the best you can do is get in the car and learn the car. Adjustments inside the car can be made to get you as comfortable as possible but big swings for 1 or 2 can't happen as that could throw off others. We do this for fun and comradery within the league and to be honest are more about the memories then the win. As well trust me half the field will wreck out in the first half so getting to the end with no damage is a top 10 or better. (edited)

The 4 of us that were practicing last night are starting to get the hang of it. I''m ready for the race, its not that bad!

1

It took me until the last 20 minutes of our race to get get my hands around the "New" Ferrari. So trust me I get it….. LOL

I think a few of us decided we're not going to run Xfinity tonight and we're actually going to run practice again tonight.

8:31 AM

Is that going to be a big deal if we're in the practice channel?

I have thought about it. Not sure yet.

8:32 AM

Mine for other reasons though. Machine is giving me shit and need to work it out before Friday / Saturday

Well I think 4 or 5 of us will be practicing at 730 tonight, we'll be in the practice channel

Made Daytona 24 channels. If you do that, use those.

8:45 AM

Let me know if you can't see them

nope, good to go boss

Cool.

8:49 AM

Trying to make sure Peter see this

I know no one will believe me but no problems before update. Now, ever since theres nothing I do that helps my machine run better (edited)

8:51 AM

I even did a fresh install if you recall

KCE Racing #3

I know no one will believe me but no problems before update. Now, ever since theres nothing I do that helps my machine run better (edited)

I believe you

Thank you because I'm loosing my mind……. It helps

I ran the RACE setup for a full fuel run. It's a littletight and heavy at first, but gets loose towards the end. I felt I could run consistent lap times and not wreck the car. If your having troubles, adjust the brake bias up because it's starts pretty low. Here is my tire wear. LF 62 RF 76 LR 84 RR 82.

2

9:05 AM

If you are going to practice today, I need full fuel runs and tire wear afterwards. Let me know how may incident points you got. Thanks.

Roger that, I have yet to run a full stint, my biggest so far was 16 laps. I'll make sure to do that tonight.

9:08 AM

How many laps is a full stint?

about an hour if I'm not mistaken. Not sure laps for that

It's about 29-30 laps depending on your fuel spend. (edited)

Think it is around 28 laps, I ran 27 consecutive laps last night and had a lap of fuel when I came in

What he said

Yup

9:10 AM

And sorry for posting the lap times, was more of a measure of my confidence in the Ferrari/Setup, but traffic management, consistency are def top of mind! @Gary Kipfer #9

Curious, what was your laptome on final map Thomas?

9:11 AM

Lap*

I ran a full second faster on my last 10 laps.

Last 10 laps I ran 4 sub 145 laps, the lighter car plus just getting into a rhythm makes a difference

Thats actually good news

When you guys run today, let us know about any ABS, TC, and brake bias changes that helped. I am a novice when it comes to ABS/TC adjustments.

turn it up and if you suck turn it back. Done!

1

Savitar87c

Is that going to be a big deal if we're in the practice channel?

I am good for tonight if you guys set one up

Yeah i think around 7:30 we will all join an offical practice session. Once we have everyone on we'll decide which one to join.

I would highly recommend going into the Iracing Daytona practice servers. Hot lapping by yourself will not help you much on Saturday. That is what my laps were based on this morning.

9:50 AM

I am getting so jacked up for Saturday. I love endurance racing. Thank you @KCE Racing #3 for getting me hooked.

Same Gary. Can’t wait.

Another option is using the AI to practice.

How is the AI on road? On oval I find that they don’t seem to behave quite the same as IRL drivers. Like they can’t be bothered by physics or tire wear models or seem to be able to do simple math like when to pit.

If live drivers are available, that is what I prefer. The AI are predictable and easy to avoid contact.

I’m in the same page Gary, super excited for Saturday. Seeing everyone in my team as well as other teams get really jacked up for this event gets me pumped.

Gary Kipfer #9

Depends on the settings. iRacing AI has come a long way in a short time.

Also seeing everyone else’s schedules helps me to know if I’m doing scheduling things on my end correctly too haha

dare

Also seeing everyone else’s schedules helps me to know if I’m doing scheduling things on my end correctly too haha

So you got stuck with the admin stuff. Lots of fun trying to get drivers to agree on a car, a setup, and a schedule.

Yup haha, also resident painter for the team too. Only 3 of us driving too so it’s gonna be crazy tight

It's like hearding

The engines rev and the tires spin As the drivers begin The iRacing Daytona 24 hour race With determination on their face They zoom around the track Their virtual cars never looking back As they try to outdo each other In this digital endeavor Some will crash and some will falter But the true champions will alter The course of the race And cross the finish line in first place The hours tick by as the race goes on And the drivers push their virtual cars to the dawn But in the end, only one will rise As the champion under the virtual skies So don't give up, no matter how tough Keep pushing, and you'll get that checkered puff

@wolfe you joining us for practice

Jay Crabill

KCE Test Session

10:25 PM

Heres a 1:44.8 that I ran, i recorded it incase anybody wants to see how I'm braking and running the lap

Thanks Jay. Good info. Looks like we change tires every pit stop. It takes 40 seconds to take full fuel, but only 20 seconds to take 4 tires.

From my test tonight I ran a 30 lap fuel run pitting on lap 31. 2x thru L31 backstretch when I was clipped, picked up 4x. Tire wear was LF-65%, RF-77%, LR-90%, RR-88%.

Thanks Edwin.

11:40 PM

Keep up the good job buddy.

Thanks! Getting good help in the test sessions.

I might practice at night tomorrow and see how the tires look after a stint. If they're only 70 on. Lf you might be able to double with the….interested in finding out

1

Is double stinting even worth it? Don’t they refuel and change tires at the same time now? (edited)

possibly at night, i'm not sure, but during the day no, not at all

Not worth it

It's safer to just go ahead and replace tires on all pit stops. Fresh tires are much worth it then taking a chance just for an extra min or so

3

Just finished up a fuel run. Track Temp 93F. 30 laps. LF – 56 RF – 75 LR – 81 RR – 79

9:45 AM

I ran 53 brake bias at the start and was at 52 by the end of the run. TC 9. 1 x

9:46 AM

if there are any LMP2's in our splits, prepare for them to be dumb AF. at least half of them wrecked in front of me after an overtake. (edited)

I hopped in the practice channel yesterday to mention this to the guys practicing last night. Did an imsa race in the gtp, they will come from a different zip code and go Mach shit into the side of you in the hairpin and then blame it on you. Hopefully those kinds only wreck their race in the first hour so you guys don’t have to worry about it for the rest of the day

I think you have to hand over part of your brain in order to drive one of those.

Thanks Tim.

I think I'll try changing the brake bias tonight….my last 2 practices I've run the setup as it came

10:20 AM

Is there any other changes you guys are making?

Guys remember it does not matter how fast we go. Staying on track running consistent laps times and having fun is way more important

Savitar87c

Is there any other changes you guys are making?

No other changes to the car except what people can do in the car

KCE Racing #3

No other changes to the car except what people can do in the car

yeah know, i get that, was just curious what in car adjustments people are making cuz i havent been making any

10:44 AM

my car seemed loose for the first 10 laps but then got better and faster later in the run, so i was curious what people are doing

Putting the brakes forward a bit helps at least for me with that initial looseness. I think most of what I was feeling when I initially thought the setup was too loose was actually too much rear brake. For me the car is only loose on exit at In and Out entering the banking. (edited)

I still think the safe setup is faster for the way I drive. I know we’re not supposed to be worried about lap times and I’m not but it’s also more stable. I think it handles the bus stop much better. But it’s has the word SAFE in it so maybe that means pussy. IDK. Curious if any one actually gave it a fair shakedown.

Yeah it was loose on corner exit for me, not entry

I tried both Tim. I normally run a very low brake bias, so the Race setup felt better than Safe and I got more out of the car and less incident off tracks.

Fair enough. I can do either. We all have different driving styles.

That is the hard part. But we have our setup and its up to each driver to adapt to what we have. It is never a problem the day of the race, that is why we go with VRS setups. We did all of last year using them.

11:26 AM

* IMPORTANT INFO *

11:29 AM

Tonight at 7:30-9:30 PM Eastern, we will be in the discord Daytona 24 Practice Voice Chat. If you never done a team event before, please show up so we can talk to you about spotting, driver swaps, how to join and leave the race sessions, etc. They are some do's and don'ts you need to be aware of. Its not hard, but its important.

11:31 AM

During the race, we like to have the next driver up, join at least 1 hour beforehand to spot. That way you can see which cars are the problem cars, traffic flow, general conversation, etc. We will do our best to keep the schedule as close as possible, but minor adjustments are always needed in a 24 hour event. (edited)

11:35 AM

One cardinal rule we have at KCE Racing. If you damage the car, you must pit and fix it on your driving time. You will never be allowed to hand over a damaged car to the next driver. Its not fair to them.

11:35 AM

I forgot we actually have two cardinal rules. LETS HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna miss most if not all of practice tonight. Bros before wives is tomorrow so wife wants to meet friends for dinner tonight. Happy wife happy life.

Best of luck to all at Daytona! Represent.

Over in our stable car#1 is running 4th currently with Joey staats now behind the wheel. We are in split #4 and have been racing Adrian Fernandez's team from the start. We were third place at driver change from me to Joey. Car is great… Car#2 in a different split is currently 8th

Good luck guys I'll be watching from time to time today

Go get 'em guys! Good luck!

Savitar87c

we're both in the same split!

Great job admins that put the teams together to make that happen. (edited)

Good luck today guys.

For clarification, I assume its the "KCE Racing" team I need to register and not "KCE Racing 2" the intern did a poor job naming them

10:39 AM

Or was it Bender's duties?

One should say driver and the other only says crew chief.

Gary Kipfer #9

One should say driver and the other only says crew chief.

Ohh I see that now, that's new.

Its because we have everybody on each car this time as you suggested after the last race issue we had.

Yep, I remember. Maybe, KCE Racing Team KoKo an KCE Racing Team Kipfer would help my little feeble mind… I blame Covid.

Maybe we name them Team 1 Danny this car and Team 2 Danny NOT this car.

@Gary Kipfer #9 I heard Nathan say he is ending his stint early. Are we all moving up?

Eric is just covering my time.

Sounds good!

Todd Bosworth #28

@Gary Kipfer #9 I heard Nathan say he is ending his stint early. Are we all moving up?

We are probably going to let Eric run a little extra to put us back on schedule. I will let you know if that changes.

You guys are doing great.

We're 4 and a half hours in and the sun is almost set. Car 1 is currentely sitting P25, while Car 2 is up to P11! Still got a long way to go, anything is possible! (edited)

Todd Bosworth #28

Sounds good!

We have been averaging about 50-55 minutes per fuel run. Right now we are 25 minutes ahead of schedule.

Ok

6 Hours in Car 1 sits P22, Car 2 sits P9!!

Are yall running with VR?

8 Hours in Car 1 sits P19, Car 2 is P8! (edited)

Are yall running with VR?

yes

Jeez. I'll have mine in about 19 weeks.

very immersive experience! been racing vr for ~1-1/2 yrs. love it

Will be home by 6:30! Looking good guys

What position we in

Team 1 is about 40 or 45 minutes ahead of schedule. Please be ready to race 45 minutes early if at all possible.

You guys are gettin it done!

Just got done with my banquet heading home

9:45 PM

When is my stint

We are running early if you can make.

How long

9:46 PM

15m home and I gotta poop real quick

At least an hour

Perf I'll be good to go see you guys shortly

Good luck in the overnight hours drivers….. hammer down

you too Ed

We did yesterday's race koko…..we done. I'm waisted. I personally Eneded up doing the most Laps of the entire lobby at 350….1,330 miles worth… we finished p4 in split 3. We were p2 when we got ran over by the field dildo of the event. Fought back to p4 finish. (edited)

Congrats man. Great run. Always one dildo in the drawer

Yep

We got reported when an asshat hit Thomas.

9:58 PM

LOL

No time loss from driver changes really changed this as well… being a three driver car was no advantage

The gas and tires at the same leveled it out?

Yeah… before. U would lose almost a minute via just the driver swap… now driver swap is done before tires and gas

10:00 PM

So your 6 driver crew should not be a time disadvantage…. it's basically just a regular stop now

cool

10:01 PM

well get some rest bud

We took tires every stop. Made no sense not too.

yep. we are too

Good luck…. avoid the zombies

thanks

Great job Ed!

@Pete Norquay #289 you may be going on early by 40 minutes so please jump on if you can.

Wow great job guys, that’s awesome

Nice1

good job guys!

Thanks KCE Racing for another Over The Top League event! Great team effort!

you killed it Edwin!

Very happy…. My SR went to 4.99. That’s what Gary predicted it’d do.

12:39 PM

Lots of help from you too @Savitar87c

I winner in our split was two accounts that tanked their irating from 3500 to about a thousand.

I was still lapping faster than them

Is this the same group that had an illegal quali run?

No, the illegal quali was the top split Williams team.

Great video!

Even though the 24 was just last week this video still gets me excited. There's just something about Daytona

Always been my best Special event

4:20 PM

2nd, 1st, 10th my last 3 starts at Daytona

2

Do you guys run Nurburgring too?

Daytona is a favorite event of mine, 30th last year, p9 this year. Had a bunch of pit time in the first 6 hours, managed to climb it all the way back through the night. Such a great feeling to finish higher than anticipated

Savitar87c

Do you guys run Nurburgring too?

Lol I was practicing it in the gt4 last night just in case I feel like running it this year

Its an interesting track

4:38 PM

after the first 3 or 4 hours go buy you can go whole stints without passing another car

Lol that’s what Daytona felt like at the end in my split, half the field ran out of talent

Savitar87c

Is it the GP + Nordschleife?

Todd Bosworth #28

Even though the 24 was just last week this video still gets me excited. There's just something about Daytona

I’m ready to do it again!

Tim Kennedy #88

Is it the GP + Nordschleife?

Yep! I think iracing gives a discount if you buy both too

I’m going to need lots of practice for that one. Active reset is gonna get a workout.

it takes a long time to learn it

7:28 PM

100+ corners

7:30 PM

and the lap time difference between fast cars and slow cars is insane

7:31 PM

I'd go as fast as i can and run an 8m 22s and dudes are out there running 8 minutes flat or hight 7min. I was 30 seconds off pase last time i ran there

I somewhat know it but it’s been a while. Never in iRacing or the gt3 though.

Oh shii

Ban hammer dropping. Good for iRacing. I didn’t think they’d do it. They should also ban team Williams from the next event.

Thats what they get for cheating

Do I understand correctly what they did. Did they tank their irating so they were in a lower split and then one of their two cars was wrecking people so the other could win?

No. They were in top split. The lmp driver ran the apron to qualify. And they had 2 gt3 cars. The second gt3 car was intentionally blocking the leaders to help car 1

What a joke man haha

2:54 PM

The best part was when they played victim after the fact too

Did not see this one

Yeah that “statement” he referred to was the Williams guy saying basically “they didn’t break any rules” Lmao

So what actions did they take? What have they done to keep it from happening again?

1:02 AM

Their statement says nothing of enforcing so called Williams Esports values

Suspension ranging from 4 weeks to indefinitely for team members of Williams eSports

Four Wide is scheduled for that morning so schedule will need consideration for me and KoKo

I can only do morning. I'm sure myself and Tim can get us started.

My need to look and see if it is feasible for me if schedule is an issue. The livestream is the priority for me that day.

You can take anchor.

I can drive whenever. No time constraints.

I just signed up. I can race first or second stint to cover anybody doing the podcast

9:59 AM

What's the plan for this? Are we going to have multiple three driver cars or are you going to have more drivers per car?

WE first see whos interested then we will work out the details

Copy

10:00 AM

Just hoping we can get both war turtle drivers on the same car if possible

We can not guarantee that

10:01 AM

We go and match IRatings IF there are multiple cars

We do it based off irating. If you want to race with your teammate, you might want to consider putting a team together yourself.

No it's all good brothers I understand how it works. Thanks for filling me in

10:03 AM

Excited to see how we do as a league again! Let's go for that top five!

Slowdown penalty added to Daytona banked apron.

Slowdown penalty added to Daytona banked apron.

I can see problems with this but it's kind of what I said on "4 wide with coffee" presented by KCE Racing

Going to pass on the Bathurst race. Have commitments on that Saturday. Awesome track! Hopefully I can make the 1000 at Bathurst.

Unique engine/chassis configurations across manufacturers makes one car better than others at particular tracks. You should know better than anyone after doing the video of each GT3 prior to the season. (edited)

Could you imagine being the guys testing to figure all this out. You'd have to be able to run full fuel runs without crashing for each car then make an adjustment and go again to get full results

Hope it pays well hahaha

There is no way they are spending those kind of man hours. It’s got to be through AI or some other software to run simulated races.

We did this for our GT3 series and kept coming up with the same results. To do it right we would have to bop each car for each race dependent on track. This is why we moved to a single car gt3 series some time ago and to be honest the only way to have a fair gt3 series. If you recall that’s why we had a season for testing that made you stay in one car for the season. But that didn’t really work either because one car was better then the others at more races and fucked that up too.

Do you guys want a setup from Craig's setup shop for Bathurst, so you guys have more to choose from for setup?

I got my wheel to where I can drive with it. I put my name in the hat. As long as my other problem (mother in law) stays the way she is I should be able to run. I will leave up to you and the team to say yes or no…..

Well the McLaren wheel has the TJ rule….. only time it acts up is when it turns right….. Nascar wheel is good to go. Turning low 210's… I am pretty sure that I can dial it in more.

If anyone wants me to I will be more than glad to set up some practice today. Just let me know what time

Michael Everhart

I would probably jump on if you throw one up. Having some issues myself that I am trying to figure out. FPS issues and I shouldn’t be having them

most of us last night were having FPS issues… both at Indy and Bathurst… I normally run between 1800-200, at Bathurst I was down to as low as 60, top of the mountain seem the worse

Just like before if you guys happen to need another driver I can hop in after 5pm. If you guys are good I will catch the next one. Have to work that day.

Yeah I was struggling too at both. I reached out to Koko for help, I was stumped and I consider myself somewhat tech savvy. Was talking to Greg and Tony last night and both of them saw a dip too. (edited)

Jamie Bray

It's only a 12 hour race. 5 pm puts you already on the last 2 hours of the race. Probably cutting it too close.

1

With 9 guys available are we looking at 2 or 3 teams?

I feel like if we did 2 it would mean everyone really only drives once on 1 of the cars with 5 drivers

Michael Everhart

If anyone wants me to I will be more than glad to set up some practice today. Just let me know what time

I would be down for some praccy later

Tim, myself, and koko will decide. We will announce once we have the teams decided. Some guys have a certain time they can race and that will have to be accounted for. It's never easy as doing math.

Do you all have the race set up yet?

Michael Everhart

Do you all have the race set up yet?

We have to make sure we grab it after the BOP adjustments because it could change a little after that.

12:58 PM

It's not like any of us are Aliens.

12:58 PM

the site said its covered for the BoP

I will post the setup being used. Please let Gary and I coordinate efforts to lessen the confusion.

All Here are the setup files we will be using for the Bathurst 12 HR. We will use the R1_V1 unless otherwise instructed. I am only posting the 3 files in case we run into problems with the R1. In that case we would roll back to R1_SAFE_V1. Can't wait this should be an exciting weekend.

When do we plan to start doing some team practices? Wednesday?

You have the files now so you should be doing individual practice. We normally have team practice sometimes on Wednesday and our main practice on Friday before the event

We will be using the R1_V1 race setup. Do not even try safe, its not safe. LOL. Thanks Tim.

I’ll be unavailable from 3-5 pm on Saturday.

Full Stint Test: started off at 5am sim time in complete darkness. Beginning Track Temp: 70F Ending Track Temp: 70F Laps: 27 Total Time: 57 min 52 sec (includes full pit stop and time to box) Fastest Lap: 2:05:017 Ave Lap: 2:06.294 1x (I'm pissed about this. happened on next to last lap) It was total darkness for most of the stint. The sun started coming up the last 5 laps or so which was pretty cool.

Good info. The almost 1 hour stint time will make the schedule making easy.

1:33 PM

I bumped up TC to 9 and brake bias to 52.6%

Thanks Tim. This information is valuable to the team.

My pleasure.

1:34 PM

back to "work" now

@Tim Kennedy #88 what did you have BB, TC, and ABS at?

wolfe

@Tim Kennedy #88 what did you have BB, TC, and ABS at?

BB – 52.6 TC – 9 ABS – no changes I believe it was 10

If fuel was set to 2-3 you might get 1 more lap over a fuel run possibly saving an extra stop at the end of the race. Current pace from Tim times is 12.41 stints. If you could save yourself the .41 over 12hrs it's possibly a position or 2 gained on track without the stop. Might be worth testing.

6:05 PM

You would have to weigh it against the lap time lost (if any)

i learned last night that you can actually lift and coast pretty early into turn 2.

Even more fuel saved which makes this easier.

I think I had .6gal left in the tank after 27 so it wouldn’t even be a full lap we’d need to save.

1

Just trying to think outside the box a bit and help the team even though I can't be there

It’s also possible that as the track heats up and lap times go down we wouldn’t have to save much if at all.

You are also going to be in traffic. That will slow you down some.

Did you see the new team names?

Omg. Amazing

We did for @Jack Jagerman , car 1 and car 2 confused him.

A diet of crayons will do that

Gary Kipfer #9

going to be a wild race i'm pretty sure

Although the names are good, I was thinking it could've been "Mr. Gary's Wild Ride" and "Ka-Ka-Ka-KoKo and the Jets"

Damn Iracing. Trying to ruin our recent successes.

I saw a dude doing 2:03’s in the Ford.

Oh well, I'm just going to be riding anyways. Bop means nothing

I will post v2 of setups once I confirm and name.

Seems a bit late in the game to change the BoP. First splits go off in just over 48hrs.

@wolfe @Savitar87c @Pete Norquay #289 @Jack Jagerman @Gary Kipfer #9 @Todd Bosworth #28 @Tim Kennedy #88 @Pete "KoKoPuffs" KopKo #3 We are going to put the teams together today. Please do not race any road official races until after the endurance race. We are going to try and match Irating to get both teams in the same split.

So far no update from VRS. Will keep you posted.
