F9?

I'm fortunate (or unfortunate) that iRacing came out after I was married. Before iRacing there was LFS and GTR tho. And yes my rig was perma-mounted in my living room lol.

My wife hates my simulator lol. She claims she doesn't but the amount of "last minute domestic requests" that pop up as I head into the basement, every time, suggest otherwise.

 

Guy in another league I run with. He's pretty good.

 

^ DJ is a sim beast!

 

Can someone point me to good set up for the gt4 cs, please? As is, the car is a combination of understeer with snap oversteer for me - I cannot figure out how to rotate it consistently. It feels great at low speeds but becomes frustrating at the limit. It could be my driving, but I do not have this issue with default MX5 or RSR setups.

Edit - I think I figured it out. After 3-4 laps it fixes itself. I guess cold tires or low pressures make the car handle a little too abruptly initially.

 

Correct it’s how the new tire model (aka NTM) behaves. Takes a few laps for the heat to build.

Theres a link in the description of the video I posted above with a good setup file.

 

Yeah it takes about 6-8 mins to get the tires up to temp. Sooner if there are more corners or fewer/shorter straights.

It doesn't seem like you can dial out the understeer but this is my setup at Sebring and it feels ok.
Max rake
Front ARB 1
Rear ARB 6
Soft spring rear
front comp 3
Front Reb 3
Front comp 5
rear Reb 5Front row -1.9mm
Rear toe +1.0mm
Front camber -3.8
Rear camber -3.2
TC 1
Brake bias 48%

As a note this is for Sebring so I had to go with a softer setup. Ordinarily my base would be same with stiffer springs and dampers.

 

The GT4 is really good... but IMO the Ruf 997 GT3 Track car still the best car in iRacing by some margin.

Pretty similar to the actual 997 GT3, great handling characteristics (easy to drive, hard to be really quick) and a good series with competitive and respectful drivers.

 

Is it just me or does every race in the IMSA w/ GT4 have some guy spinning out on the formation lap and then causing a pile up?

 

Yup. The last several “official” races I’ve been in, over different series, that’s happened. My ratings took a huge beating when I decided to try some after a few years of skipping them.

I went back to finding leagues to run with.

 

What's a good league you're running?

I dropped 1.5 SR in like 3-4 races. I've had races where before the green flag I get hit so much I have 9 points. And once the Cayman is partially damaged, it gets a bit loose and you have to drive it carefully, which causes me to rack up even more points.

 

With everything going on do we fire up the rennlist league again with the GT4?

 

Well... as much as I hate to admit associating with the organization... the group recently renamed itself #Gridlife iRacers. It used to be a group started by a FB group "Track Midwest" but a few of the guys who kinda "took charge" are GL fanboys.

It's a pretty solid group though. Good competition, a couple pretty fast guys. Couple current IMSA drivers in it.

You need to be on FB and join this group (it's how they manage all communication): https://www.facebook.com/groups/519228498460619/
Here's the league page: https://members.iracing.com/membersi...do?league=3001

Usually has races on Tuesday night.

Would be fun.

 

Thanks hacked, will check it out.

I am very down for a rennlist league.

Well they just shut down the tri-state area essentially so perfect time for a league!

 

We had a monster race in our league tonight. Stupid fun when a good group of drivers get together and race hard but clean. iRacing did good with this one.
