Everyone had to pit at some stage. New feature for hosted where you can set the max fuel to force pit stops. Worked well.

It does need something to settle the rear end though, in and out of the corners.
HAHA! Yeah I'm still not sure on the starting procedure with this car!

The grip falloff vs temperature seems exaggerated to me, happens with a lot of cars but this one seems one of the worst possibly because of it's weight. The grip seem to fall off a cliff mid corner sometimes as the tyres just give up. Makes for entertaining races at least. The brake lights could be brighter too.


Street Stocks on a road course for the next time.

What is it doing? It looks like the Blackwood track? Just a camera view?

Question

Yeah, with live view and data as people are going around. Anything that opens up iRacing to the public would be a good thing (i.e. making all spectator sessions publicly visible somehow).

great idea! I still don't mind me a bit of live for speed, but usually when I want a bit of drifty sideways fun.

TBH, the more people that find out about iRacing, the lower the quality of racing seems to be.
