Indy Car Updates

A bit of a more pessimistic view of the situation, this youtuber is not entirely hopeful for the chances of us having a 2024 Indy 500 on iRacing… He also highlighted a tidbit of info we missed out on, on this deal, this was published by Marshall Pruett from racer.com in a Q and A.

“I’ve been told by quite a few folks that at least one decision-maker in Penske Entertainment’s leadership team has deep ties to the company in question which, if true, would explain how they got themselves into this mess.”

iRacing and Indycar

Myers: “We would love our previous IndyCar [simulator] rights back for our iRacing product, but I’m guessing they still have much to consider. As far as potentially building a dedicated IndyCar game for consoles, if we could acquire the license, that is also a big decision. We currently only have the capacity and resources to do so much simultaneously.”

What is iRacing Web?

Prior to sunsetting the Classic Membersite, we will make portions of the existing iRacing UI available directly in a web browser, without the need to have an iRacing installation on the machine. We are referring to this as iRacing Web in official documentation. This is not a separate product, merely an additional way to access what is currently known as the iRacing UI. The goal is to make sure functionality which does not require a connection to an iRacing installation is still available once the Classic Membersite is sunset in the future. This should be particularly helpful for Team and League Admins, but will obviously be nice for everyone who wishes to interact with the service on PCs without an iRacing installation. Results and stats are available in iRacing Web

Winter Series – 

  • Brad – P. 8 What a dominating team effort that did not get the result that was deserved. Greg and I both lead race high laps of 66 and 54. Justin was with us until the green flag stops but lost him in the draft. Had the lead with two to go knowing the run was coming. Greg tried to stall them out but this separated us and I lost the lead on white flag. Had a run coming off of T2 but a late block caused a large wreck ending the chance for the win. Overall great broadcast time for the team and the podcast.

Protest System Fixed?

DJ Yee J dives into the newly announced iRacing Protest System 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBZIUwDugK0

DeeJay YeeJay He thinks it will be like “The post race disqualify, irating may be removed”

In other words, he doesn’t believe the changes coming would be effective, unless the loss of irating is in play… “Are we going to take away irating for bad behavior?”

Seen in the comments:


@thiagoods021

2 days agoI feel that a drop in iRating for DQ’s will result in a massive improvement in driving standards right off the bat. The top splits are getting overloaded with the esporfs “win at all costs” mentality and if this approach eventually leads people from dropping out of the top split, we can have a less sweaty future ahead.

@ruleslawyer

1 day agoI don’t like the idea of docking irating. It just means that slower racers have to deal with the trolls. There is enough to deal with in those races without making it a dumping ground for them. I’d prefer to sell temp bans handed off more often, or make a hidden rating where the trolls all get matched.

John – Saturday P15. Car was way too loose. Got hit and never recovered.

John – Tuesday – P12. Started P2 but a car netcoded me on the first lap and ruined it.

League / Hosted Races

Winter Series – Daytona 

  • David – P9.   Got separated after first green stop.  Never got back to the lead pack, but we gained a lot of ground once we got 4 team mates lined up.  A lot of carnage at the end gained us a couple of spots too.  Overall though, it was  nice to have a clean race free of the excessive stupidity of NiS this year.  Yes it was worse this year.
  • John – P28. First ever winter series race. Rookie mistakes on pit stops for me. First stop I turned the car sideways twice on the apron in turns 1 and 2. Lost the draft and never recovered. Second stop I overshot my pit a little and lost more time. I’m not used to green flag pitstops on superspeedways and it really showed. But it was nice to run with guys who don’t crash every 10 laps. 
  • Brad – P11 Follow the leader for most of the race. After the first pitstop we were separated and fought the remainder of the race trying to track down leaders. Setup was a bit squirrelly and that made following people difficult. Leaders wrecked coming to the the checkers and managed to slide through the grass for an 11th place finish. Will be glad to get to a non-drafting track.
  • Justin P12, Started P4 stayed in the lead pack until the first round of pit stops kinda got shuffled after that got hooked up with Greg but the car in front of the pack was just really unstable. Slowed us down, took the second round of pits, everything went well. Until the last corner somebody didn’t hold their brakes. Only lost 2 positions, a really fun race.
  • Greg – P6 Thanks to Justin

Season 1 Build Content List

New Graphics Engine

we are thrilled to upgrade our graphics team later this year through the addition of multiple industry-leading principal-level rendering programmers who (together with our existing team) will help evolve iRacing’s graphics tech in a way never before seen on this platform. These developers have spent the last 20 years building and leading graphics/rendering teams across a broad spectrum of powerful graphics engines such as id Tech, Unity, Unreal, Decima, and Glacier. Our reconstituted graphics team will be more formidable than ever and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come. It is important to note that a graphics engine upgrade is a major long-term project and results will take time. That said, it will be well worth it. In the short term, we will continue improving the current rendering technology.

Temptest

Weather/Rain:

And now for another big-picture update that I know many have been following closely: the status of our advanced new weather system, called Tempest internally.  While we aren’t quite ready to guarantee it for December, we are now confident enough to say that the release of this incredibly complex system is imminent. That means it’s going to rain soon, folks.

Tempest was built from the ground up and consists of several interconnected systems that simulate not only rain and the effect that water has on the racetrack, racecars, and surrounding area but also the physical components that combine to create various types of weather. This system is fueled by extensive real-world data from the very locations where you’ll be racing. Together with our Dynamic Track systems, the combined experience is unparalleled in simulation/gaming.

we do want everyone to understand that this system requires per-car development. It’s not as simple as adding a generic rain tire onto our vehicles; rather, we are doing car-by-car R&D to ensure proper rain tire construction/modeling and driving characteristics. As a result, rain support will be added to the sim in batches, starting with a compelling initial offering that is likely to include the Formula 1600, Toyota GR86, and Ferrari 296 GT3.

Protest System Updates

we have built a department whose job is to coach, correct, and take regulatory action when things go wrong. This team does a phenomenal job working through thousands and thousands of manually intensive reports, each of which requires research and careful thought to ensure that if a response is needed, it is an appropriate response. With the December build, we will equip this team with a more expansive toolset to do their jobs. A comprehensive list will be provided in our next sporting code update, but for now, a preview of what’s to come

Post-Results Race Disqualification. A member or team may be disqualified from a Race or event after Results have been posted. Their Championship Points for the Race or event will become 0, and they will drop to a last-place finish.

One New Car

our team has been focusing on some of our longer-term R&D initiatives this season, such as rain, our aero-modeling program, Oval Refresh, and tire model updates. That said, we are excited to be debuting one new car in December: the Audi R8 LMS Evo II GT3. 

Track Updates

On the oval side, we are excited to release Slinger Speedway. Slinger is so much fun to drive, and you all will have a blast turning laps at the “World’s Fastest Quarter Mile Oval.” And yes, folks, it will include the figure eight configuration!

Mugello Circuit is looking amazing and will also debut in December.

Okayama Circuit will be re-released (for free) with modern artwork that meets our current standards for quality. It looks great.

Our scanning department has been busy. Processed data was delivered to the team recently for both Portimao and Navarra, and our production and art teams are already underway.

The scan team has also just returned from a big trip to the heart of oval racing country (North Carolina), where they scanned the SRX cars (pavement and dirt) and a handful of different Street Stock car bodies.

We are working on a Micro Sprint, which will provide a great entry point to dirt oval racing (do you all want a pavement version too?). This car will lend itself well to Millbridge Speedway (in progress), the already-released Kern, and a handful of additional current and future short tracks on iRacing.

Other Items

Our Career Mode team is making significant headway on this project, and we are really picking up steam across all supporting departments, including design, sim engineering, web engineering, and backend systems.

Our User Experience and Design teams are working on a new structure for the UI, which will move us away from the modal-based experience available now to a more approachable and accessible design for the future.

Oval Refresh

Oval refresh has a full complement of developers working on it each day, and they are making significant progress. These efforts will continue for some time as we iterate the many systems involved. That said, we don’t want to wait until we’re “done” to release these improvements to the service. With the December build asphalt ovals have been updated to produce an improved dynamic racing experience. Track surface grip levels will change more rapidly as temperature rises and fall depending on weather, time of day, and the energy the cars are putting into the track. Be prepared to tune setups for changing track conditions and search for grip as various lanes heat up and cool down throughout a race session.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – Martinsville

  • Mike -.  P5 top split 231 points might be the most points I’ve ever got in a race.  Just try to keep my nose, clean and not get to the incident limit and the strategy worked. I was right below. It. 
  • David – p Dq out – thats all i’m saying
  • Joe- dnf 

Saturday Fixed- 

  • John – P13. Somehow got in the top split and was against 5-6k drivers. Way out of my league, but a good clean race.

Wednesday Open: Phoenix

  • Mike– P8 Ray I’m pretty much 5th to 10th most most of the race spent out on my own once had about two minutes damage but just kept it clean and brought it home top 10 I’ll take it
  • Chris- P16. Car ran great most the race and was able to drive up to Top 10 under green. Spun in the dog leg twice and took some damage and it was downhill from there . Finished P16 1 lap down. 
  • Tony – P8 was stuck in 6-9Th all of the 3 ½ hours of it. Never really passed or got passed much just stuck 
  • John – p21. Committed the unpardonable sin – spun out in turn 2 on the first last and sustained right front wheel damage that could not be completely repaired. Stayed in the race anyway and went up from P32 due to attrition. 
  • Tyler – P12. Long Race! Got caught a lap down, 3 separate times. Two wave arounds and 1 lucky dog. Had solid speed the entire race and felt pretty comfortable. Happy to complete this race with a 0x. I’m ready for Daytona! Shoutout to the entire team. What a season for Tifosi. Well done fellas. Congratulations Tom! 
  • Brad – P wrecked out

Official Series

Draft Master

John – Saturday P10. Started P16 and dodged the bullets. Zero X – thats a first in this series at Dega.

Sunday P6. Got wrecked twice and had a damaged right wheel. Kept driving anyway and got a respectable finish

Safe Driver Dilemma 

Paul Seeley posted a very introspective essay about his iRacing status.  He is not super fast in official races, but is safe and has good car control, so he finises well, although he never wins, so he gets in higher splits than his skill level.  He’s using AI more and more because of the competancy and quality of the racing.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – Homestead 

  • Mike -.  P wrecked out early. Lap three they reck in front of me. I go to miss it. I get ran over from behind shove down to the inside wall. Five minutes damage after the green flag. I’m running in the back another guy gets wrecked. I can’t slow down in time, and I plow him.  40 minutes required.
  • David – p 4, long run near end got me track position back, then held on for 2 short runs
  • Tony -p22 was just meh 

Sunday Open-Homestead 

  • David – P 10  self corrected into wall on first green run.  Caution comes out right before window is over.  Fix most of damage, save fuel and out stretch others to 10th with wheel damage
  • Tony – P6  dont remember much from this one think it was ok. Did end up finding a groove that i liked hugging that bottom 
  • John – P16. Started in P24 and ran consistent laps. Stayed out of trouble, but the top 3 drivers smoked the field. 

Wednesday Open: Cautionville

  • Mike– P 7 – got wrecked with about three minutes. Damage could barely drive it got some repairs done and just kept it on track got up to 24X was one away from the DQ and brought it home P7 I’ll take it.
  • Chris– P5. Raced in the back for most of the race. Had 12x for most of the race and raced safely with 16x. P5 never never felt so good. Broke the 2700iR mark for my personal high. 
  • David – P 14, really getting sick of this crap,  running third, fourth cuts down in front of justin and then wipes me out.
  • Tony – P13 oh this race, i dont think ive ever been and ive been in a ton of absolute shit shows on the sim. 32 cautions 2 ½ hours of just absolute trash. I was everywhere top 5 bottom 5 middle 5 wrecked several times was clinging on to that 1 last x for last 90 or so laps trying to get back on the lead lap which i eventually did on the 2nd gwc i stayed in to least get some much needed points fornthe quest of top 15 in div 3. Im 1 and done with this BS. Would rather listen to David Hall read some more Taylor Swift lyrics under cautions than run that atrocity again
  • John – p 11. My car was good, but the usual Martinsville cautionfest. Thanks to the overwhelming lack of skilled drivers I had 22 X fairly quick and had to be careful to avoid a DQ. Got up to 24X with 30 to go and babied the car from there. 

Thursday Open: Martinsville

  • Mike- P8- top split typical shit show I had 16 incidents before halfway got drive-through and finally got a lucky dog to get back on the lead lap with about 20 to go and work my way back up to finish P8 another great top 10
  • Mackenzie – P2 – Great 1st NIS race back, started 3rd got spun early and ran around 15th for a while, stayed out while leaders pitted and took the lead and lead 79 laps, got screwed on a car coming from the pits and dropped back to 3rd, pitted for fuel and took tires around lap 200 and started 8th, worked my way up to 4th for the GWC and 2nd and 3rd place spun before the line so I took 2nd

Official Series

Ellis– 

  • Legends,, 87 cars at Talladega ran top five all day there were several cautions was leading at the end on the white they were three wide the middle lane guy came down and wrecked All P 20. 

Draft Master

John – Saturday P2. Stayed there the whole race and just pushed P1 to the end. We never got passed.

Saturday again. P11. Good result considering I got in top split with over 4k rated drivers. I kept up with lead pack the whole race

Tuesday and Wednesday Trucks. 4 races and they all sucked. The usual “nobody can keep a straight line” races and lapped cars wrecking leaders. My SR took a massive beating

Mackenzie – P9, Started 16th, pretty uneventful race, was probably 6 or 7 wide coming across the finish and got squished into the wall and lost a few positions

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – 

  • Mike -.  P8- kind of ran around mid pack most of the race a bunch of cautions at the end played in my favor and I was able to move forward from about 15th up to eight. I will take it.  
  • Tony -p20 Just felt absolutely stuck the whole race. Didnt gain or loss anything hanging around top 10 but was caught in white flag BS 
  • John -p10 – Started P11 and stayed there most of the race. In P9 with 19 to go and stuck to the turn 4 wall like super glue. That put me back to 16th but fought my way back. Felt good about the race because I stayed with the lead pack and avoided all the wrecks behind me.
  • Tom- p10

Sunday Open-

  • David – P good long run car, wrecked a by an asshole who took out other people early in the race and expect everyone to get out of his way, yet turns across my nose and blames me.

Wednesday Open: vegas

  • Mike– P got involved in three different cautions. The last one was eight minutes damage. P22
  • Chris– P 10. Took a bit to learn the track. Drove around 30th the first part of the race. Drove up under green. Nice Top 10 and iR at career high. 
  • David – P Wrecked on lap 2 unable to fix drove a green flag run with damge, pited, pit crew never showed up – rage quit
  • Tony – P26 was doing ok while trying to get jiggy with it when cars wrecked and t-boned a guy. Spent lap and half getting damaged fixed figured i was the only car a lap down til we started getting green flag stops. Waites til i had ½ a lap left when pulling onto pit road when i was hit getting on pit road saved it but missed pit road and ran out of gas and had to tow. 3 laps down rest of the race  
  • John – pP14. Strarted P16 and fell back quick. Got as far back as P29 one lap down. Got lucky dog in P 19 with a green white checker.Gained 5 spots on green white checker. Heck, I’ll take it.

Official Series


Draft Master

John – Started P1 on Thursday night. On lap 5 the guy behind me thought it would be a good 

Idea to bump draft in the tri oval. It caused a massive pile up. Got going again in P10. Draftmastered my way back up and finished P2.

John – Friday night. Started P1. Led 17 laps of a clean race. Leading on the last lap and got passed at the finish line on the outside. P2 by 2/1000 of a second.

Pocono Update

Listener Craig Ream gives the Lounge some great feedback about the infield courses at Pocono.

Hi Gents,

Just to lend input on your mention about the Pocono infield courses.  While they “could” be used for go carts but they are most often used for HPDE and drift events.     Some club level racing is also booked there. (example spec Miata’s)

The legacy Pocono config actually has a few of the infield courses but they are now dated and have changed slightly.

Wednesday Open: Vegas

  • Mike– P19 – we had green flag stop so I had ran my tires off I was running 20th Short pitted just a little got up to 13 but made mistakes and fell back again. Was hoping for a caution near the end and we got it went hard trying to get to the top 10, but ended up killing the wall and having wheel damage limped home P 19

  •  
  • Brad – P – Still down waiting on wheel base to be repaired.

Thursday Open:

Did a restart with 11 to go a huge stack up and I turned the guy in front of me and get passing on the inside penalty.

  • Brad- wheel disconnected

Friday Open – Tally

  • Mike -.  P Was near the front on the side where the inside lane was trying to side draft up and I got no damage though, but I was in the First caution. Lap 11 I was pushing the leader on the bottom. The guy behind me started pushing me and turned me 2 1/2 minutes damage. eventually caught a caution took a wave around but needed a yellow to get enough fuel to finish. Finally got the yellow with three to go put me in the back after fueling for P 23 for the green White checker number one. Wrecked coming to the checker P 27.
  • David – p 14, wasn’t on the best fuel strategy and then got flush out of the draft by a huge check up right when I made a lane change.  So I went ahead and pitted so I could re catch the draft off cycle.  We cycled completely around.  I made a move to late to try to get in line and turned myself.  Trying to get back up to speed I spun the tires on the apron and that brought out the caution.  Made it back up to 2nd, then late caution and on restart I get hung out in middle lane and fade to 19th and pass 5 wreckings cars for 14th.
  • Tyler – P4 Started P1 with the Only one caution on lap 3.  Led the first 20 laps after giving up the lead to save gas. Was able to stay with the main pack during two green flag stops to bring it hope 4th. Lappers screwed me on the last lap but happy with a Top 5 and 0x.
