NOW A FIXED SETUP EVENT!Flags: local only Password: see abovePlease make sure you are fully aware of the UKiR Rules - particularly the rules about general conduct and in-game chat messages. 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.

Any chance of making it a fixed setup race? That might encourage a few more people (like me ) to show up as there's not so much prep required to be race ready.

Doh. Sorry Legz! Would have been good if you could have made it too - no chance of purchasing said brute?? Daytona's the nicest of the oval/ road courses also IMO but it's turning into an expensive Friday night I realise:(. If it's any consolation this definitely won't be the last outing for the Vette as it's actually quite a lot of fun...once I stop fluffing my changes!
Cheers for the suggestion Adam, I do want to try some races with fixed setups and it's on the roadmap soon but I don't think this is the place to do it ya know - perhaps you can persuade me!
Friday's are generally relaxed affairs anyway, I'm not sure many spend hours practicing and usually with people sharing setups you've got more chance of finding something that doesn't bite by just letting everyone find their way - I don't think I'd have the confidence at this point to decide on a base setup that didn't cause somebody problems due to driving style etc.

Daytona RC is on the Corvette schedule so there should be a fixed setup available in the 'iracing setups' 'tab'. Most likely I'll run it without changes.

Heheh yes no pressure Adam . Seriously though, it's a good opportunity to try something different as far as I'm concerned, I really like the idea of us all running the same - looking forward to it. I'll have to check out the exact setup name tonight so I can point you guys to it in case you want to practice...

Congratulations No, you misunderstand - you don't have to make it fixed setup to have the fixed setups from the official series available, for those of us who don't want to cod about setting the car up. There are a fair few drivers running in the open series using the fixed setups and doing rather well...

Yep I'm with you Dave but I do actually fancy making it a fixed setups only race. Handy to know they're available regardless though.
I guess Adam wanted something to level the field out a bit and I'm in favour, so unless I've missed something, if there's a decent setup available I'm happy to run with it and have everyone use the same.

If I'm attending you're going to need more than a fixed setup to level the field out ...... sadly not because I'm awesome .....

The fixed setup doesn't seem too bad although it's very easy to lose under braking. I presume that altering the fuel load is okay?
Anyhow, 1m43.2 here so far but I can't see myself going any quicker.
Will be a very tough race to finish I suspect.
Cheers, Ross.

If it's set as a fixed setup on the server, you won't be able to change anything at all except steering ratio if the car allows it.

well didnt like the fixed too much so went back to my old setup which seem to improve the traction so it doesnt slide everytime i breathe on the throttle. Didnt realise we were going fixed
