Car: Spec Racer Ford Track: Lime Rock (no chicane)
Practice: approx. 18:00 for 135 mins Qualifying: 20:15 (15 mins) Race: 20:30 (40 laps, approx 40 mins)
Start: standing UNLIMITED 'fast tows' (resets) available for each driver (available by pressing SHIFT+R by default)
NOTE: All sessions protected by the main password, there is no seperate 'pre-event practice'
A couple of notes re. Blue Flags during qualifying and race where they differ from GTR2;
Blue Flags during qualifying - if you see a blue flag during qualifying it will be on your outlap and the driver approaching is on a hotlap. Please take this into account and act accordingly. The driver behind does not know you are on an outlap so no rash moves out of the way please Usual SRouk rules / guidelines should be applied.
Blue Flags during the race - if you see a blue flag during the race it means the driver approaching is about to lap you. Please take this into account and act accordingly. It differs from GTR2 in that you will not be penalised for not allowing the lapping driver to pass within a certain period. The flag is informational only. Usual SRouk rules / guidelines should be applied.

After much frustration I finally managed to put in a sub 1 min lap time yesterday. Just the one mind... I wasn't able to repeat it

Just tried Skip at Road America - great stuff. But then - it's probably 'cause of the track, not the car... Tried the Ford - despite your solid setup Pops - now Skip doesn't look so bad. iR is getting under my skin and I'm not sure if it's good or bad.

Haven't driven the SRF in about 6 months, should be 'interesting'.

To finish first, first you must have fins.

Tried the Ford - despite your solid setup Pops - now Skip doesn't look so bad. lol. I think that set-up is what you'd describe as "the best of a bad bunch", I'm sure there's some improvements to be had but I can't find them iR is getting under my skin and I'm not sure if it's good or bad. How could that possibly be bad?

It's the car+me combo that makes it a spin fest.

My problem with the SRF is that it's similar enough to the Skippy to instill some (misplaced)confidence but different enough to make me spin the damn thing every other lap

It feels nicely powerful (for the track) & it feels like you can use the rear-end movement rather then having to fight it as in the Skippy.

I also share your opinion about the comparison with Skippy. Similar but the difference catches you out. I have to say I regard the SRF as the second worst car in iRacing behind the Solstice. We should have done Legends at Summit. I don't know why I've not suggested that before now. When iRacing ran some 13th week races with that combination previously I thought it was a right hoot!!!!

dont suppose any has a safe setup i could try out? Only really ran the car around here before but the setup i had made it possible to actually finish and certainly isnt quick and isnt actually nice to drive!
