Let me know when you want to turn some laps. I did a few back around update spec 1.02. It will be nice to check tire wear and such again.

I'm ready to start practicing as well.  This and Daytuna.  Is this Saturday night open? That might be a good time to get some early laps in.

If we're going to do this, count me in...


BTW, what happened with the DayTuna 500?!  Usually we run it before the actual IRL race...

If we still plan on running DayTuna, I think I will go with Dale E. as my partner, instead of my usual choice of Danika.  I just have this very strong feeling this is Dale's year for the Daytona 500.  :lmao2

I'd say no worries there. This one is my personal favorite and I am ready willing and able to act as a substitute host for this one. Not to mention in all my testing I so far I have not encountered the infamous pit stop glitch.  ;D

Title: Re: "2014" Undies 500
Post by: dlrws6 on March 26, 2014, 11:29:47 AM
Would any one like to do a double?

With Indy car now hosting an Indy road course event before the 500 we could do the same. Using the same rules and wrinkles as the 500 for the car settings and picking a driver, the race could be run the weekend before the real race or the weekend of the real race and still leave a couple of weeks gap before the 500.

If so I can test and put a proper event post up this weekend.



Edit: Also for those curious, I'm still testing but so far FGT + Medium race tires = no tire glitch.

Also Indy 500 is May 25, GP of Indy is May 10.

The Undy equivalent of the GP of Indy will probably be around 73 laps maybe less. F1 ran 73 the track is now longer the Indy cars are slower. I have not yet seen a lap count for the race.



Edit: never mind.

if there's still interest in this one, I also want to make sure the GT Sats event doesn't interfere... let me know if there are time conflicts and who knows, maybe we could merge evnets for a day?

Damn, forgot about that.  Hmm...  We must think on that.

Who can make the Undies starting before 1pm EDT, or after 6pm EDT on Saturday?

I can't see myself able to make it until 2 or 3pm PDT on Saturday.

Here is the field for the real 500 if you're still going to pick real drivers.

Good luck to every one.  And I think the regulations are fairly close to the real world numbers.  Although the fastest real cars averaged 231mph.  That was in an extreme qualifying setup.  My guess is the real race speeds will be at or below 220mph.

Also with real draft it takes a few turns to set up a pass.  It was fun the time or two I did practice sessions.

You should have a ton of fun if you can get a good number of racers.

Yeah, that's all I got.  I could go into a hometown story where radio controlled gophers were used, but that would probably lean more toward sad then funny.

Post by: Brindle on May 20, 2014, 11:55:07 AM
Here's the details...

Q starts at 5pm EDT till 6pm EDT.  Room will be set for a 60 minute time trial.  The field will be set manually for the race based on the TT results.  (don't worry if you can't make Q, you can still race with a provisional)

Final practice begins at 6pm EDT till 7pm EDT.  This should allow time to revert to a race setup after Q'ing.

Race will start at 7:30pm EDT.  This gives everyone a half hour break before race start.  *NO PRACTICE DURING THE 30 MIN BREAK*.

I will update the OP to reflect.

Question...

Some one asked me about the caution procedures as far as racing to the line before beginning pace speed.  If the cars slowed immediately after a caution was called, instead of racing to the line, would that be more or less confusing for others?

Post by: PeyePete on May 24, 2014, 09:52:48 PM
Thanks Brindle, Baked and Dude. That was a blast, the cautions kept it close and interesting, a few laughs along the way.
Great racing guys.

^^ Thanks guys,

It was a really enjoyable day of racing.
After the first race I was having doubts about running the second Indy, but then I thought "what the hell"  you guys spend the time to put these events on, the least I can do is show up, ( and the wife was okay with it )
I couldn't believe how much fun it was with the close racing, cautions, mishaps going into the pits etc, just a blast.

Thanks guys, always good fun racing with you.
