Boy, that is a loaded statement. I guess Joe won?

Can I log in and watch to see how it works before shelling out $300.00 for a steering wheel? How would I do that?

Don't think so Joe, not sure if you can watch a video of the race though. Joe C., do you know (you saved it?)?.

As for the results -

I didn't save a copy of the race. I'll try to do it next time and post some highlights. With the times it could have been a couple of good close battles but with our many spins and off course adventures it never panned out.

Is next Sunday at same time going to be good with all or is Saturday better? Daytime is fine for me (as I have no life in winter) so if afternoon is better that works too. Speak up please, would like to see 10 cars out there!

Little bit later works better for me. 830-900 eastern personally. But I'll try to make it to whenever it is.

As today is final NFL playoffs I figure we can't field enough non-football guys so the practice/race will be tomorrow night at 8:30PM. SRF's at Summit Point full.

Requests are welcome for car and venue on $$ tracks/cars as long as all agree ahead of time.

I right with you Joe. The Skippy will be required after the SRF so it's a logical choice, and those are the best tracks for us Easterners. When Mid-Ohio is released it belongs on that list also, I would put it ahead of the Sebring bump-fest.. when will the GT3 CUPs come out?

I can understand different tracks every week.......
But what advantage does a rookie like myself have to change also cars every week?

What about doing a series of tracks with the same car and then starting the rotation of the tracks again, but with a different car?

Thoughts?

That makes a lot of sense to me also. We did the SRF at Limerock, tomorrow we will go to Summit, following week to Watkins Glen, then to one of the optional tracks like Road Atlanta, then on and on until we run the listing above. We can then do the Skippy car along the same lines.

Sorry guys. There is no way to log in and watch a race. We'll have to start saving replays and posting them on YouTube for all of Rennlist to watch and critique.

iRacing should release a standalone viewer, would be a good marketing tool as you can watch any car from any angle, including the "Blimp view".

Randy - One thing you can do is simply sign up for one month of iRacing for $14.00. You can then view any replay from any viewpoint and any car. I'm not positive, but I also assume you can enter a race and then just sit in the "view screen" and watch the whole race live using the player. Do it today and give it a try tonight as we are running an included car/track combo, if it doesn't work i'll send you $14 (but you need to put my email address in as the referral).


Kevin - that would work, no?
