Can somebody add the names (from left to right)? Just curious whom I am racing against every week.

Game shut itself down during the first pitcycle. No clue why... I hope I can find a log file somewhere...
Same happened with a different game this afternoon. Both after 1.5-2 hours..
-
Or C on Wednesday, B on Thursday and A on Sunday (and if you really want Gen 4 on Tuesday?)
-
B zu sonntag und A komplett raus?
+999999 lol

Leider ein kurzes intermezzo heute für mich
Yeah, I didn't even meant to race you hard there. Just by running the high line I carried a bit more speed on exit and then it got awkward on exit... Sucks that it ended your night...
-
Ugh that was a pretty dumb mistake...:(. Instead of pulling the shifter down, I pushed it up for whatever reason..
Big apologies to those involved

After 60 laps I really wanted to pit. I was still catching up to the pacecar and was not sure if I was allowed to enter pitroad, or that the pacecar was close behind me which could have triggered the pit open message.
The second time around I couldn't pit anymore and there I was with 60 laps old tires...

Double post but I have a question.
During pit cycles my spotter was calling out "next car is pitting" or "car ahead is pitting" or something like that and every time the car in front or the car in front of the car in front ended up coming to pit road.
Is it coincidence that a car way ahead of me has hit pit road and that is where the call is coming from or is there a new command in iracing that can be hotkeyed to trigger the spotter message for other drivers?
My theory is that when fuel levels get low it gives a warning when it registers cars on the apon thinking they will pit. But when cars cut the dogleg it might give that same warning.

Fun racing all night and a frustrating yet enjoyable race. Congrats Jeroen, you were fast and patient all night.
Thanks!
But this win was a complete steal.. What might have looked like patience, was just my inability to do anything. I was just stuck in p11-p13 for the first two stints. Tried to save my tires a bit, but after 50 laps I was still stuck.... So I was feeling completely miserable, not being able to get even close to the rear bumper of the car in front of me.
Then near the end of the second stint, 5 or 10 of laps before the caution came out I cranked up the brake bias a lot in a desperate attempt to do something. And somehow the car came back alive.. I also got lucky with the yellows (unlike Sunday, so I guess it evens out
). And it almost all got away from me when I had to brake really hard to not run into the #28 in turn 3 during the last two laps. But in the end the 2 tires were just enough over the no tire call to win the race. -
nice fight, jeroen. i had to use every trick.
It was mostly frustrating ;). I was hoping you were going to get tight behind Daniel, but I felt like you never really lost the nose of the car. And I just could not generate a run on the straight for whatever reason.
-
Well that was a bummer.... Not sure if it is a bug or a feature, but the fact that I had to let the whole field by when the caution came out while I was in my box kinda ruined my race (and not just mine...). Untill then my race was going great. I was going to be interesting if the early pitstop of Jonas was going to work, but we'll never know....;)

Wait, you were the one who said the B is the best car, right
?
Let's see what you say after the updateIt is, atleast in the way it drives, but at the Superspeedways it definitely needed some work. The cup car and trucks were miles ahead when it come to the drafting model and the other aero effects.
-
And we finally seem to get a decent SS drafting model for the B cars....
-
Michael Krafzik. Sorry for running into you near the beginning of the race. I tried to stay close so we could move up a bit on the high line. But I did not anticipate for the car in front of you to run into the wall for absolutely no reason at all.......
-
Badbeatbill Did Jeroen or you have damage? You 2 seemed slow in comparison in the penultimate restart, causing the inside to loose quite a bit? Or was the outside just better organized there?
No, we actually had a good start, but no help from the 3rd car. So eventually we were pulled back when the outside did catch up.
It did put us back on the outside line for the final restart. But then I was put into the wall by a chicken nugget....
-
It was a fun race and intense, just not lucky. A race incident with Jeroem but not bad for starting the season.
I was pushing Lachlan and for some reason we had to move high. I followed him, so I wouldn't be offset while pushing him, but ran into you. Kinda frustrated why we had to move so far up the track, but the contact you and I had is probably on me....
Sorry Jeroen for pushing you away. I wasn’t pushing at all. I’m really sorry
Well it's Daytona... And I don't agree what Petr said, these cars are defenately not to the easiest to race/push as they move around a lot when there is contact unlike the cup car.
Anyway the only thing I want to say about it, is that I think with 18 laps to go (I think) and no threat that the outside line would clear us, I think it was still way to early for contact in the tri-oval....

Carsten Theile Congratulations for the championship!
Absolutely deserved after the season, which you're having.Like you said in the A tread, it isn't over 'till it's over. Carsten might wreck 10 drivers next race and accumulate 60 penalty points. You never know......

This was my last race this season as I'll travel to New Zealand tonight.
Anyway the season was going really good, untill the previous two races at Indy and Gateway. Since I knew I was not going to race the last race of the season, it didn't really matter for the points anyway. But then atleast I could give Carsten the illusion of a tighter championship
Still happy to finish 3rd this race. Just couldn't push as I had to save fuel the entire run. I knew the cars behind me were saving more during the first run after the caution, but I also wanted to stay in the draft of the 2 cars in front of me (who both didn't make it on fuel) so I tried to push just a little bit more.

I don't see it that way. If the driver in front chooses the higher line and I'm faster on the inside and the line is clear, then I'm allowed to go in there. If the driver above then pulls down, he's the one at fault.
Take a look at real Nascar races, where there's often one driver above, the one on the inside is faster, and the one on the outside takes more momentum. No one pulls down from above when thereThis rule has nothing to do with real NASCAR races. It makes it way too easy to abuse this to defend your position especially on the short tracks. You can compromise almost your entire corner, as long as you have a good exit. And I'm guilty of that myself as well because if you dont you are not getting those positions back that easy.
Personally I think a 'divebomb' should be allowed if a.) you keep your line on the inside (and don't move up into the other car entering the turn because you carry too much speed) and b.) you have to get to the side of the other car, not drive into the rear of the other car.However, the rules are what they are, if you like them or not. You can't ignore them, just because they race differently in real NASCAR races..

I'll probably be calm again, forget and move on tomorrow after a night sleep..
Just to illustrate my point from the discussion we had. I agree my car was yawed-out here and I was starting to move up a bit, but I feel like I was still low enough here. Not sure if iRacing simulates pulling air of the spoiler when another car gets this close in a turn to someone elses rear quaterpanel, but if it does then it did its job I guess.. Just unfortunate that as soon as we made contact my car stopped turning and went straight into the outside wall..:(
