The people Justin was referring to are others that really have no interest in being on Rennlist and participating here, they just want to join our league probably because of the car we run. They aren't bad people but I think what we have now is a community of racing, not just a hardcore race league.

I'd rather the request start with an RL'er (or friend of RL'er), vs. the other way around.

Either post up your iracing real name here or pm it to me and I'll add you to the league tonight. That will open up the "official" practices and races to you. You can always join an open practice. The guys here hosting them put up the details in this thread when they are running one. If it's busy and there's a password, it will be posted here.
When we run open practice, maybe don't mention that it's for a league over the comms.

Yes absolutely. Gotta start somewhere.

Yes...BUT you will need a second iRacing account to do so. My wife's trial account expires in May and isn't being used at all so I am happy to give you access if needed to watch him. PM or email me.

so… I have a few questions for you guys.
1. In turn #5. Do you guys try and avoid those rumble strips on the inside of the apex? I feel as though when I hit them, it ruins my turn-in causing me to push to the wall. I know I've seen a few people in our session cut it completely. Let me know what you guys think.
2. This one is probably a dumb question…but do you guys blip the trottle when downshifting? I sometimes have to click a few extra times to get it to go down a gear. Am I just attempting to shift down too quickly and would otherwise be past the limiter?
Thanks!

For #2 - I've noticed issues downshifting too. Part of me was wondering if my button was starting to wear out - but I think it might have something to do with loading the transmission. It doesn't seem to like to downshift unless there is some load going through the trans (either accelerating or braking) and if the tires start to lock (ABS) or the car gets a little air (like over a sharp bump) it doesn't want to downshift. Try downshifting at maintenance throttle at constant speed - it usually won't go.

In completely other news, got my son an XBOX ONE for his birthday. (He got it early so mom could see him open it, since she's stuck working a night shift at the hospital on his b-day). We got him Forza 5 for it.
I was playing (or... attempting to play) Forza last night. And holy hell I am spoiled by iRacing. Forza is *beautiful* from a graphics perspective... but utter **** from a physics and car performance perspective. Who knew that a FWD econobox would drift and slide around EVERY turn at Sebring?

#1: After I realized it wouldn't give me a 'you cut the course' penalty, I apex at the inner wall and drive straight over all the rumblestrips in Turn 5. I've found it lets me carry more speed and get on throttle way earlier, but YMMV.
#2: IMO this trans has been a PITA ever since they did that first update to the car. I've found waiting longer to downshift seems to help, but it doesn't work all the time.
