2012 iRacing Plans - update?

[Ray Walton]

Many David. There is Rick, Leo, Baz for a start and many other Euro based members too who could well be interested. We need to attract enough to make it worthwhile so lets say at a minimum 10 to start a race and preferably at least 14 or 15. It would need advertising too with a link / announcement on our front page too. We could just announce it on the room of course and hope to get a nice group of followers for the proposed one off fun races.

9:00 PM CET is way too late for me Leo and not that good for the US drivers who seem more tied up on Sunday afternoons. But as I said I am the oddity here so do not worry about fitting in with me. I would be happy just to see you guys still being able to race with our Legends friends using iRacing at a mutually convenient and workable time. Oh and I did mention that it would NOT be sensible to clash with rF2 testing as that will attract even a lot of our iRacing fans here as yes rF2 is pretty good Leo, and I say that as a full iRacing convert of many years. So I was not talking about this coming weekend but say from the weekend after (12th Feb) when the league is running rF1 racing which we know attracts different members than the iRacing guys here.

I would like to take part to Legends iRacing races, but I often had to give up cause time slot too early for me or clashes with other races planned on Sunday eve/night. In summer I usually come home late from sea and in Winter from skying.

Perhaps we should have a poll for the best time to race? as I like many here do want to race but think the schedule or car is stopping many from joining in.

I am sure that what ever car we choose the schedule should be the same as iR.
I havent tried any of the new build cars yet so perhaps comments and ideas can be forthcoming? It would be a pity to see this part of Legends die.

I meant not many US based (or western hemi-sphere based) drivers run iRacing Legends League races. Did Rick re-subscribe to iRacing? I wasn't aware of that (Stratton that is - I don't know any other Rick).

[Ray Walton]

No David I meant Rik not Rick, sorry my bad. Also living in the far east I now consider of course both Europe and the Americas as Western hemisphere, duh.

I´ve been participating in the legends iRacing league some seasons ago. I had a lot of fun racing in a "closed" league. Unfortuneatly the next season the car changed and I was out. In my opinion, you should go for a car which is very popular in iRacing itself and go for an identical track schedule as the official iRacing calendar. This will help a lot as people who are competing in iRacing like to enter a closed league without car or track change. A little bit of advertising in the iRacing forum will bring enough drivers, especially to legends league, which is very special. According to the history of this league, a single seater season using the Star Mazda or the Skippy should bring a full field, if you don´t change the car every season, in my opinion. Thats what I experienced in a german league. But I can also understand Rik that he´s tired of organizing for a field of 10 drivers.

Just had a drive in the Lotus 79 and really enjoyed it, so I think I will drive that in season 2. You going to as well Paul?

There is some great info on the L79 forum.

I raced season 1 and I think I'll join you

I have done a couple of laps at Oulton with the new Cadillac too, fun car, I think I'll do some races with it too.

I'll be continuing primarily with a Radical/Lotus mix. This season I've struggled to get official races in the Lotus (due to my own schedule) but now iRacing have made both series 4 days a week.

Lotus - Weds/Fri/Sat/Sun
Radical Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun

They also operate 1 hour out of synch so many of the Lotus races are easily run in the hour before the Radicals. The Radical races usually last under an hour too - although 45+5+finishing lap etc. does take nearly 55 mins so have to be sharp to do it.

Lotus races are ALL 25 laps. So most finish comfortably inside 45 minutes, more typically 35-40 minutes.

[Rudi Kniel]

Hello guys,
I've created a chart-overview for iRacing Road Season 2 2012.

Maybe someone of you can use it too.

Cu Rudi

[Baz West]

Apparently L79 peak European times are usually official, it is now a 4 day week schedule.


Kat advised me to get names down for CTC Classic Teams Championship, we could be rookies Paul

Thanks Rudi, that is useful.

[Baz West]

Sorry Fulvio m8 missed your post. Register for the CTC,it looks wellorganised and plenty of help and guidance just like this league. You don't have to race a specific time as your iR count.

Sev you on track

Hey Lotus boys and Girls try the tournament Monday nights, great practice. there was about 6 races at the Glen 10 minute warm up random grids 5 lap race. Lots of chaos but you didnt have to wait long for another and no hit to iR or sr.
