    The plan that was pencilled in back in January had the two series run from August 5 to December 16, since O`Reilly and Trucks have 20 and 19 ovals this year.

    Our schedule is not finalised though, especially since we haven't discussed the suggestions in detail yet.

    Hier ist eine Tabelle mit allen Kombinationen:
    Fixed Setup Settings - NextGen MCs & BB full

    Kleinere Zylinder erhöhen den Bremsdruck.

    Am Pit-In sind in vielen Fällen BBs von 40% bis 48% neutral, wobei sich die Balance verschieben kann (bspw. im Banking noch loose, vor Pit Speed dann front-limitiert).
    Bei Avoidance biegen diese Autos gern mal nach rechts in die Wand ab, daher würde ich kurz nach der grünen Flagge die BB nicht gleich runterstellen.

    retsrofekaj In app.ini there is a line reportCompetitorPitEnabled=1 ; Report when the car in front/behind for position is pitting.
    It's an automated report that may or may not have bugs. :#

    I may have been overdriving a bit. :D
    As usual, it's worth spectating Jakub, I think. We had similar pace in the first stint despite different approaches, then he started gapping me a little.
    Petr found the grippy bit on the outside of T1. :)

    • These cars have been updated to the 2026 engine and graphics packages.

      • These additions to the A pillars are flaps hooked up to the roof flaps to help prevent the cars from getting airborne.

    NASCAR Cup Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

    • This vehicle has had its body shell updated to the 2026 season package.
      • This was a complete rebuild of the body and therefore paint schemes will need to be adjusted to match the new shape.

    • These cars' names and branding have been updated with the new O’Reilly Auto Parts Series primary sponsorship to match the real world!
      • The Xfinity branding has been retired.

    <Car Class> NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Cars

    • The branding has been updated to the 2026 NASCAR season.

    Sessions

    • A new User Preference has been added, which automatically launches a Session for which you are registered once it becomes available.
      • You can enable this auto-launch feature in Settings > Preferences.

    User Interface

    • Fixed an issue where accented consonants and other special characters weren't displaying correctly in text chat.

    A VO team has been created over at Garage 61 and I've invited as many VO drivers as I could find.
    Garage 61
    Data is available for a year after upload (without subscription).

    If you are unfamiliar with uploading telemetry, it's roughly 225 MB/h of space or 500 kbit/s of bandwidth.
    Consider restricting the upload to 1000 kbit/s and deleting the files after a while.
    Also, Garage 61 uploads any IBT file it finds in the telemetry folder, so I've turned irsdkAutoLogDisk off.

    Garage 61 will switch telemetry on anyway if it's running in the system tray.

    script for AutoHotkey v1.1 to start Garage 61 at specific times prior to VO races

    A telemetry visualisation/audification tool called Bloops is designed to work in conjunction with Garage 61.

    By default, Bloops will select one of your laps for comparison, but it should also work with teammate data. I just haven't had the chance to test that yet.

    The graph has limited usefulness while driving, but the beeps when approaching the braking zone may be of use for finding visual reference points during the first practice laps. For other sessions, I'd turn it off.

    Before trying it, consider putting the headphones down and then reducing the sound volume.

    Hi Wanne Sorry wegen des Kontakts, alle Autos waren in genau diesem Moment weg ;(
