My New Cockpit Build Thread – The iRacers Lounge Edition

Next up got from Etsy a cell phone holder.

This by turned out to be a bust because my big a@@ phone with otterbox doesn’t fit in it. Well it does but you kind of have to push it down in there nice and firm.

So, it’s been relegated to my candy dish. I had a concept for bolting a horizontal ring that a steel bowl could sit in where I would store my Hershey chocolates and sweet tarts. A necessary need for any oval race. I never did find the ring I was hoping for so this will suffice I can put the individual Hershey chocolates in there, maybe six at a time.

i’ll probably figure out something different for the phone I’ve been eyeballing this but it’s so darn expensive.

Enduro Series™ T-Slot Track Ready Phone Mount | Short Reach Arm | All Metal Design

Got another arrival the Seat Slider… got the seat stuff from Jegs. I’m still waiting on the seatbelt though…

So far I’ve spent about 100 at Home Depot in two trips. Had to place another order for McMaster Carr to get smaller t nuts for the pedal mount hardware.

Most of the rig arrives Monday or Tuesday I believe I’m getting all the other stuff first…

I’m realizing that it’s going to take me a long time to finish this rig… 

Especially the way I want to get it done with the wiring right. I’m gonna have downtime for sure. 

The power strip I ordered the run the whole thing doesn’t even arrive until the 14th…

My goal is it will be self contained on wheels, all cabling is on the rig and the only thing attached to the outside world is an ethernet cable a power cable and an audio cable (to a sub)…

The other thing is where do I put the new power strip. It’s got to be centrally located I intend to run my USB cables to the two phones and headphones. And those are fairly short cables. I’m kind of thinking to the underside of the computer tray somehow.

Also have my hue light strip to power. The hue hub I can plug in elsewhere I think. I’m also trying to figure out how I’m going to implement the Philips hue strip. In other words where am I going to mount it. My initial thought is behind the three monitors shining down somehow.

I have No Idea at all what I’m doing for sound yet. Guess I need to figure it out. Trying to make do with speakers I have (they’re decent left and right computer speakers but no real way to mount them…) but don’t know where to put or mount them. I don’t think they are mountable. Might be zip tie city behind the monitors is my first reaction…

And another arrival… if there’s any one thing that I’m overdoing this is probably it yeah oh my these things are huge. I was concerned that the top of the belt goes from 3 inch to 2 inch I was thinking oh that’s gonna be too narrow but heck no these things are huge…

Mounting these is still an unknown… I saw somewhere where people were taking the lap and the crotch belt and attaching them together under the seat to each other with no other anchor. So I could do that. They all attached to a ring under the seat and pull on each other. But the shoulder belts because the seat is moving I think they have to attach to the seat somehow it might be weird if they’re attached to the frame and I’m sliding the seat forward and backwards getting in and out…?

Got one more arrival today the computer shell from advanced Sim racing.

OK I got put together the advanced Sim racing computer tray. Very nice. I must say, the lack of offerings on this particular item I was a bit surprised about this was the only one I could find that would fit my tower and it barely fits.

This is something I’m really going to like because my computer currently sits on a piece of particle board spanned across a couple stacks of ammo boxes… #OutOfTheGhetto

I got another piece of the puzzle today, these are the brackets to hold the power supply for the wheel. It’s going to be either mounted under the seat or under the pedals likely against the frame.

I had to place a second order to McMaster Carr for some M6 T nut packages as I had only ordered M8s. I have two extra which will be perfect for the shifter Install.

So now I was able to install these metal round coupler things that the pedals will hang off of.

i’ve only hand tightened it as I’m sure they’ll need to be adjusted once I put the pedals on them.

Well the rig finally arrived and the official build begins!

Wheels on the front a bit funky but functional I got them diagonal with two bolts in the same slot but it’s still rocksolid and the weight distributed directly above the wheel spoke.

I just love the idea that everything is up off the ground and all cabling self-contained.

I got a lot more done than I thought I would tonight.

Well after work today I said in again this time to complete the back half and get the seat done.

The seat slider first even though I watched the Videos I still installed it upside down.

After several times of taking it apart and putting it together I finally figured it out. Then I figured it has to be done in a certain order, put the seat brackets on first then the slider onto the frame then the seat onto the bracket.

And now the seatbelts. Initially I just gathered all the ends underneath the seat and zip tied them. After many experiments I ended up with the lap belts tied separately together with a gap because they were too short. Than the crotch and shoulder belts were zip tied together. Got everything to the right length and it’s nice and snug it stays tight even when the seat slides.

I love the belts are way more comfortable than I thought they would be. The black and yellow things on the shoulders are quick release and quick tighten…

Well I pushed forward with the wheel install. Of course I install the brackets on backwards but it kind a looks like a fanatec tie fighter…

I got it straightened out and installed and mission accomplished there’s no play in the seat or the wheel.

With the seat all the way back the wheel is in the perfect position so I’m not sure the seat slider helps me, or would not be used unless I slide everything forward. Ugh.

My plan for the computer tray isn’t going to work as the wheel is in the way. So I will have to modify that as we go. Going to get some sleep and start on the pedals tomorrow.

Mail Bag

Orz Akdemir – Hey boys. It’s me Orz from Downunder here again
Just listening to your latest podcast and I got an idea

I think it would be good for you guys to have a Discord for the community where discussions can be had in regards to topics from the podcast.

For example, I am literally frothing at the mouth with the Mercedes W12 news. I have a few immediate questions.
-As you guys discussed, yes the mandatory tyre change of compound during a race should be implemented.

-Also, hopefully we will have the correct DRS zones and detection of being within 1sec of the car in front for DRS to be enabled?

-Also, another key thing with Formula 1 is Safety Cars and Virtual Safety Cars! I’m going that iRacing does this whole Formula 1 thing properly and the best they possibly can and give us these safety cars also?
At least make it an option in Leagues if they think it would just turn into a Safety Car fest in officials. One solution could be for officials to not have the safety car come out within say a minimum of 5laps of the previous SC or something like that .

I think having a Discord community will also provide discussions topics for upcoming episodes etc directly from your listener base and fans.

Just a few thoughts. Keep up the great work guys. Look forward to the show every week.

My New Cockpit Build Thread – The iRacers Lounge Edition

Mike Ellis Posts: 

I have been around a while and have had the Obutto Revolution cockpit with triple monitor mount, and the MPCC SimPedals inverted, for quite some time now. The triple mount has been bad as the monitors move about if touched. The seat is not quite stable, left side leans back a bit, and the wheel has flex, up and down, not a lot, but I am at the point of I am tired up it, it is time to upgrade.

I thought I would document my journey in this thread, to give people ideas, to see what my thought process is.

As the host of the podcast, iRacers Lounge, we have talked about hardware every week for 6 years, so I feel like I know a lot about what is out there.

First I was seduced by the sleek lines of the iRacing branded Next Level Racing rig. The release of this rig is really what got me going on this project. There was a while, I was dead set on it. But I did my researched, I watched videos, and found the the flex in the wheel area is not much better than what I currently have. I also realized it is overpriced compared to other offerings so I let it go…

Next I looked at Trak Racer 160. Why there, not too sure, teammates have gotten stuff there with success, they are US based, etc… But again, the flex I saw in the wheel on a DD1 mount was more than I want… I was even eyeballing the Advanced Sim Racing rigs with their cool colors, like the royal blue, but same flex as the Trak Racer.s

So, tried and true it is, I have settled on the Sim-Lab’s p1x with integrated quad monitor mount. Advanced Sim Racing computer tray, NRG Blue Alcantara seat, with 6 point red harness. 4th monitor, 27″ flat to match my other 3. Videos I have seen of flex being tested with SimLab’s DD side mount, it is impressive. A significant amount of less flex then the others I have seen… And SimLab’s new magic monitor adjustment thingies, the brand all lines up.

Everything is essentially purchased and en-route and should start arriving this Friday. Still outstanding is how to mount these pedals. My team and I are working a design based on some ideas we got in the forums, basically a rectangle of aluminum extrusion that these cross bars hang off of. I will convert the existing pedal tray into a heal tray basically. There will be a platform above the pedals the computer sits on. Once I figure out the measurements, I have found a local place that can cut and sell me what I need I think to do this part… I understand @Marcus Lindsey has designed this before I have been trying to reach him.

Going to put the whole thing on large casters, with all wiring self contained where you only run a power cord, and a ethernet cable to it. This makes it easier to keep things in the room and the floor clean and tidy.

The chair, well if I am not getting the SimXperience G-Seat, then I will get the best dang seat I can find. The one that caught my eye, and was a reason I had postponed this project for so long, is the one on Max Papis website saying coming soon… Drives me crazy it has been there forever and they just won’t put it up for sale. I finally sat down and emailed the company and point blank said take my money. They indicated it is not for sale and no ETA…

My heart was set on that look, but I have to move on. I did an extensive search but seemed to always end back with NRG seats due to the lower price then other real racing seats. I narrowed it down to two. The white one, is their new ‘SIM’ seat, not sure what makes it sim, but it looks nice. The blue alcantara one, was my gut reaction pick, and I ended up getting the blue alcantara with marbled base chair with a NRG Seat Slider.

Of course with the color I want red belts to hold me down so I don’t flop around like a fish… Again, tons of research and ended up with some of the most expensive ones they got. I like the yellow loops and black pull down straps…

And I got a 4th monitor for above the triples, went with same brand and size, flat, as my current monitors…

That’s it for now, everything has been purchased that can be, I still need parts to build a mount for the pedals, but feeling good about the direction of this build as well as the overall look it will have!

I will follow up this post with build pictures as I go through it.

https://forums.iracing.com/discussion/9126/my-new-cockpit-build-thread-the-iracers-lounge-edition/p1?new=1

Today’s update, well I did hear from @Marcus Lindsey about his design to mount the pedals, thank you Marcus! And he did let me know he kept it simple for his build it was just 12 inch 40×40 from McMasterCarr basically.

So ordered 4 12″ aluminum extrusions 40×40.

2 24″ long ones – This is what is different the what Marcus did, these will be the uprights for the brake ‘rectangle’ nearest monitors, and the computer table will afix to it above the brakes.

8 endcaps, 4 Shaft Collars, 4 Bearing Housings, some dropin spring loaded ball nut (m8), and m8 bolts. The corner gussets were like 10 each I am like no freaking way, so I ordered those separately from Amazon. Along with some zip ties, and canned air for the computer.

I do believe this completes the purchasing except for wiring, wiring management type stuff if needed. I thought about getting mounted power strips but I am first going to try to use what I have…

I still will want to get a button box but I am not going to think about that until the build is done, so I can determine where and how big…

As for deliveries I got the 5″ caster wheels today via amazon, first item, starting from the ground up as they say… Has 4 wholes and I ask my bud Tony, how did you mount these? He says just 2 fasteners, but use the diagonal holes right on the very corners of the rig. (2 of the 4)…

And so it begins stuff it started to arrive I got the McMaster Carr order the parts for the pedal mount. I cheaper out on the corner brackets and got them on Amazon and the little tabs won’t break off like I’ve seen in the videos ugh.

Then I got the fourth monitor of the triples.

I was also surprised to get an email from UPS asking for $54 in import fees. I don’t think I was expecting this I never saw anything on the grid engineering say about it… Surprise!

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Vegas

• Ellis –   p10 – Was minorly involved in an early wreck but very little damage – Had another deal where out of 4 i came up into a guy – man i feel bad about that. – then gf stops – caution came 13 later i cycled to lead – couldnt hold it though and fell back, another gf run later made it back to top 10 – i will take it

Hall – P wrecked, a car starts blinking and the turned up and just puts me in the wall.  5 bad NIS outings in a row now

• Sunday Open
  • Rochette- P8 Back from a nice vacation in the wilderness, ran wrong steering Ratio and absolutely sucked in turning. Also for giggles ran HDR in VR and that sun over the front stretch almost wrecked a couple of times 
  • Hall – p 20  only caution was lap 1,  late in first run I got myself loose and had to go through the grass to prevent a major accident.  That caused me to the loose the draft, and then long run speed just didn’t seem to be there this time.  At least the wrecked out streak is over.
  • Tom D – p6. Still getting into the swing of things.  One caution after green flag stops.  I’ll take a top 10

• Sunday fixed 
  • Mike -pwrecked out
  • Tyler – P-idoit. Apparently the engine blows up if you go from 3rd to 2nd. DNF as I gernaded myself while getting the wave around under caution. On to DEGA!

• Wed Open:
  • Hall –p7, recovered after an unlucky restart where another guy that started at the front seemed to want to drop back, caught me out 3 wide and just had to fall to back.  But even with nose damage on the green flag stop, managed to climb back up to 7th with a small pack that worked well together.

Ellis – p1  – We come into this race not really knowing what set we have or don’t have, no practice… Single file goodness the whole way through with literally no racing. The outcome of the race was based on fuel mileage. Tom and I were 1 short going into the final stop, even though Tony had 1 more than us. They blew pit entry so I was great I am on my own. I had a good get away, and got in front of a couple of cars. We pulled out and a pair that pitted prior came blowing by and I slotted into third the rest of the way home. About 4 to go they peeled off, but I was lucky to just catch a lap car and i kept him in front of me so I could continue to save. Still a guy behind me that could make it and he had help from a lapper too, but they never got a good run and the track position paid off, i couldn’t even make the donuts as I ran out on the backstretch. My 77th career win, I win both Tally’s this year, Richmond, and the Southern 500.

• 

• Kyle P – **P1**  Started out 12th and just slowly worked my way through the field. Rand top 10 all night and once we started getting down to the end. I decided to push a little harder. Final restart was with 2 to go and i was sitting 3rd and knew i had to get the jump on 2nd. Did that and just hung on the back bumper of 1st until 1 to go coming out of Turn 2 i backed off a second and caught a big draft and had 3rd on my bumper and got pushed into 3 with the lead and had to defend out of 4 and won the race by .018 of a second. My first ever NIS win. Feels like I wont the real race.

Rochette P14  -I Rochette’d pit road @Tom Dreiling followed me… dont follow me, I wasnt watching my speed entering and braked too late

• A Open
  • Scales – P1 Got a win racing a late night/early morning practice race Sunday night for Mondays race. I was the 3 car in a single split race. Normally there’s a Rachel Hunt or some other alien to ruin my day, but I caught them sleeping and snuck one in.

Colours Pop!

Staffer Tony Gardner announces that they have adjusted the color tone in the sim and, (maybe?) fixed the yellow color tones many have complained about.

Tony Gardner Posts: 

For a while now we’ve been too a little too warm in tone, and the sun has overpowered the color mix too significantly, while the blueness of the sky was washed out. We fixed this and the fix went out in today’s patch. 

The “yellow” world complaint should be gone or minimized and the colors do definitely pop more now and it looks better.

2022 NIS – All Three Tiers

Nick Neben posted in the forums that he thinks it’s time to expand the NIS series to the Xfinity cars and Gander Trucks

Nick Neben Posts: 

Ok, with the NextGen taking over for NIS in 2022 I know there are going to be some people who miss regular stock car racing. This isn’t a dig at the NextGen car, just the style it provides is not fun to some.

With current member number shooting way up, I think it is time to offer NIS – Cup, NIS – Xfinity, and NIS – Truck

Cup would stay the same and run 50% races with the special 100% races

Xfinity would run 100% races with Xfinity schedule (would usually be the same laps as NIS Cup)

Trucks would run 100% races as well from their schedule offering a shorter race of the three but longer than the regular weekly series.

Running Xfinity and Trucks at 100% would offer something different than the regular open series, and we don’t often get full races with these two series. If you tried to shorten them to 50% it would end up the same as the regular series and not offer anything different. I believe most people run NIS for the longer races.

Damage Updates for Season 4 2021

Greg West Posts: 

With the Season 4 2021 release, members will see notable updates to the manner in which LMP1, LMP2, GTE, GT3, and Supercars are able to repair damage.

The systems updated include both steering and aerodynamic damage. The user experience should now be greatly improved notably in endurance races where steering can be completely repaired so the steering wheel is straight while aerodynamic damage can be repaired as well. The end result is an accident may require a lengthy pitstop but the car will have the opportunity to be competitive after the repairs have taken place.

We are excited to have these updates applied in time for the Bathurst 1000 and Petit Le Mans special events that are the next endurance events on the calendar.

AI Hosted Comes to iRacing!

Multiple iRacers from all over the world can trade paint with AI drivers for the first time as AI Hosted events come to iRacing with the 2021 Season 4 build! Using any of our AI-enabled content, you’ll be able to create race sessions that fill up the field with virtual drivers to compete alongside real iRacers. This functionality works with both regular Hosted sessions and with Leagues.

Here’s how it works:

• Create an AI Hosted session the same way you would create any other Hosted session. We recommend that the iRacer with the best connection serve as the host. Only AI-enabled tracks will be eligible for AI Hosted sessions.
• iRacers register for, and join, the AI hosted session. While the AI drivers will only be able to compete in AI-enabled cars, the host may create a session that allows other iRacers to run in cars that aren’t AI-enabled.
• The AI roster in the session will be linked to the iRacer who creates the AI Hosted session. This roster may be generated on the spot, or selected from rosters that you’ve already built. When the host joins the server, the AI cars join; if the host leaves the server, the AI cars leave. If the host returns, the AI cars return as well.
• When the host joins the server, the AI roster they bring will fill as many open grid spots as possible. As with real iRacers, these grid spots are not released once they’re claimed by the AI cars, even if the host leaves the session. If the host is bringing a large AI roster, they may still register immediately, but hold off on hitting the button to actually join the session—we recommend that the host join last so that no real users are locked out!
• If the AI roster is not big enough to fill all remaining open grid spots, new iRacers will still be able to join.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Daytona

• Ellis –   pWreckedOut – it was a frustrating race – i was top ten the whole time, led a lap or so, but could never get anyone to work with me. One restart the guy in front of me checked up big time and let three people from the outside in front of him. Later near the end just trying to get something going on the outside and everyone bails and leaves me hanging out to dry. Eventually they wrecked in front of me and I got collected
• Hall – P8 contenting again, drafting help abandoned
• Rochette P20 got hit by some dumbass running 3 wide that couldnt hold a line damaging the engine with 3 to go 
• Groves  P5  – turn 4 pass for a top 5 
• Sunday Open
  • Rochette- P4 survived a few wrecks pushed the leader on the back at the white but got checked up when tried to make a run
  • Greg pP16 ran out of fuel pushing @David Hall for the win
  • Hall – p1,  the mostly lucky timing with greg loosing his lap.  I had him stay low so he could latch on to the three car brake away.  Leader got to much of a push from inside, then greg gave me a perfect push and if leader blocked it would have been a wreck.  Good week at Daytona.  Funny how I don’t like the plate racing but do well at it.  FIRST EVER TOP SPLIT WIN
  • Tom D – p

• Sunday fixed 
  • Mike -pBlownEngine – On a restart i went from 3rd to 2nd instead of 3rd to 4th – i am a fool
  • Stephen – p
  • Kyle – P
  • Tyler – P

• Race: Darlington

• Wed Open:
  • Hall -p15,  2 cautions.  A few mistakes early probably cost me speed.  But I committed the cardinal sin of listening to Mike on pit strategy.
  • Ellis – p.1 – Redemption! – Wheel performed perfectly. Ran top 5 for a while then took lead – led the most laps too – 165 laps led  – Split last 100 lap run into 50 each on tires – the guy who was keeping with me stayed out a few laps longer. W about 20 to go he was catching me big time with about 10 to go he caught me and went on by, i was getting sloppy and hitting the wall a bunch. At end he was more than 3 seconds ahead. On the white, he crashed on the backstretch and I went on to win the race!
  • Greg P14, wrecked by p2 with 5 to go

League / Hosted Races

• FastTrack Sim Racing League – 

1.  David – p1, was sitting duck with 3 of us ending up in front, but irrelevant lap cars opted to stay low and caused us to get split up and become a 2 car brake away.
2. Greg p5
3. Mike – pwrecked out
4. Tony- P9 lost the draft trying to help out some cars. Fuel strategy worked in Tifosi’s favor though with the only caution coming quarter way through
5. Bobby -p2,

Chris Scales get his first Old Bastard WIN https://www.facebook.com/theaftermathpodcast/posts/303770311543419

Coke Race – Michigan

• Got push notification from the NASCAR app about the coke race, very cool.
• 3 different scenarios for the playoffs, and color coding the running order… Points as they run  – and parker and steve in the booth

https://issuu.com/iracing/docs/2021_logitech_g_challenge_100

• GREEN FLAG! @LoganClampitt_ and @AshtonCrowder lead the field into turn 1.
• They’ve singled out now, but the initial start was pretty dicey!
• Ray Alfalla has passed 16 cars in 8 laps

• 10 laps complete. It’s a Logitech 1-2 with the @LogitechGesport 
• @WBeSports_ duo of @LoganClampitt_ and @NickOttinger
• Disaster for the defending champion! @NickOttinger’s connection has dropped! Power knocked out while running 2nd.

• LAP 17: @rayalfalla has gained 26 spots since the start. Currently running 7th.
• From 33rd to 3rd, @rayalfalla is on a charge to the front. 25 laps completed.
• Only 11 drivers opted for a two-stop strategy. @rayalfalla leads the field at lap 44. They need to make it to lap 50 to make it on one stop.

.@BBryant53 is on a two-stop strategy and makes his first stop on lap 33!

TROUBLE! @GarrettManes and @caine_cook trigger a multi-car incident that involves MULTIPLE championship hopefuls! Looks like @vicente_salas14 and maybe @RyanLuza were also involved.

• RESTART 46 to go: @DDuval42 and @mbussa75 lead the field into turn 1.
• With Luza out of contention, he needs no new winners tonight now to keep his spot. He also can’t have a Shearburn or Alfalla win. AS THEY RUN, @mbussa75 would steal that spot from Luza. Bussa leads with 39 laps to go.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

• Fri open: Not Brickyard
• Ellis –  p17- Not a bad start getting some spots I gotten up the seventh before someone ran over me from behind not once but twice. Soldier Don home on the crappy track. 
• Greg – PGlitched out

Hall – P16,  Did better than Wed race after undo-ing a change in my throttle cylinder and making a gear change.  Not fast but had guys running around me all clean, so it was actually sort of fun.

Kyle – P-7 Started P-14 and got collected in a net code wreck with little damage. Fell back to 26th and worked my way up to 3rd. Avoided some big wrecks and fought hard. Came down to a GWC and was sitting in P-3. 1 to go and was working on pressuring P-2 when he dropped down and I got his LR and I instantly fell back to P-10 but was able to work back up to a P-7 with a half a lap to go. Did have a fan of the show in the race who reached out to me. Sorry I can’t remember your name but i’m sure you know who you are Sir. and thank you for your support of the show.

Race:  Michigan

• Wed Open:

League / Hosted Races

1.  David – p2 , early self made wall mistake caused 30 seconds of damage.  Minimized the cost but was probably gonna be just around top 10, ad well timed caution paid off to fix the damage and get track position back.  Restarted 9th, 2nd was best I could get. A stolen 2nd really.
2. Greg p1 Gregory Hecktus uses the perfect pit strategy to dominate and grab his first Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists, LLC Cup Series win at Indianapolis! Congratulations!https://www.facebook.com/102107211726370/posts/264369062166850/?d=n 
3. Mike – p13 – Started in the back was p11 going into 1st stop – tight all second run – loosened up and got speed back on final run but caution came out right after i pitted and put be back to like 17th taking a wave around
4. Tony- P14 new to the league was conservative on first run, probably would’ve had a top 5 or 10 with 1 stop strategy. Damn caution screwed that up
5. Bobby -p23
6. Stephen – p24
7. Joe – p10

The Main issue with the new Forums

Brandon Holtmeier commented in the forums what he thinks is the main issue he has with these new forums is you can’t see the latest post in all of the sub forums. For anyone to even know that there is activity, you have to click in each one individually which is going to lead to a lot of missed topics.. It just seems that everything is buried so deep and its not very intuitive at all.

There also doesn’t seem to be an easy way to “subscribe” to a particular thread, or turn off notifications once you don’t want notifications anymore. If there’s a way to do this and I haven’t seen it yet, I’d like to know.

It kind of feels like Discord to me, where you’ll hear these notifications in all the different servers, but you have no idea where they are coming from.

2021 Season 3 Patch 5 Release Notes

We have integrated SpeedTree into our simulation/game engine. SpeedTree is a 3D vegetation modeling and rendering system designed for films and real-time games. It provides our artists with tools to build location-specific trees and then quickly place them at our racetracks. The system is engineered to render these trees efficiently and with built-in level-of-detail (LOD) management, and has received specific customization to make it work optimally for iRacing’s requirements. This feature is making its debut at Mount Washington and will be used more extensively in the future.

Rockingham Surface Updates?

Liam Brotherton posted in the forums that Rockingham has always been one of the best real-life Multi-surface tracks and without changes, this next RTP race will be insanely one groove with the aero push. We don’t need the top to be faster, but viable in traffic to create runs and get alongside people would be fantastic, similar to the change level of Dover. Anyhow would love an update if this is even possible before race.

Tyler Hudson replied that it is likely we’ll see Rockingham surface updates in the patch this week. Sorry for the inconvenience. Texas will likely be updated as well.

Official statement regarding price increases at Trustmaster

This is to inform you that a price increase will be applied starting this summer and in September with respect to many of our products. We regret having to make this announcement, and will endeavor to limit the price increases so that they will impact you as little as possible. The worldwide pandemic has now had other effects including a shortage of components, disorganization in terms of worldwide supply networks, and disruptions in the transport chain. All of these breakdowns (with a return to normal not expected before 2022) have resulted in increases with regard to all costs in the creation and production phases for our products. It is important to us to respect our values, and we will continue to offer you all of our product lines with an emphasis on maintaining quality, ongoing innovation and ensuring that all aspects of our operations run smoothly. After having analyzed all possibilities and having made changes to a variety of our working procedures in order to attempt to avoid this impact, we regret that we are obliged to proceed with these temporary adjustments, as a result of the continuing challenges we are facing.

Please rest assured that we are fully committed to you, and extremely grateful for your attachment to our brands. We will do everything within our power to ensure your satisfaction.

4 Hours of Charlotte

Last Weekend was the 4 Hours of Charlotte, but despite a great charity event, not everyone had a great event. Aaron Stilwell posted in the forums that a guy drove aound for 1 1/2+ hours wrecking everyone intentionally after spending this first 2 hours wrecking half the field probably unintentionally finishing with 225 incident points in 4 hours and gained SR?

Mt Washington Hill Climb

One of the first announcements made by Greg Hill in the wake of the 24 Hours of Charlotte charity race is that iRacing has been working on a Mt. Washington Hillclimb Race.

Last year we decided to try something outside of our comfort zone: create the Mt. Washington Hillclimb in @iRacing. Although it was Spring at the time, Winter conditions at the mountain had persisted. GM Toby Reichert sent us a pic of the Auto Road. Our visit would have to wait.. pic.twitter.com/ypmS1vClca

Mt. Washington Hillclimb Coming To iRacing

 It’s not actually the first indicator we’ve had of this, because as I noted in the Formula Vee announcement the render showed one piece of color in an otherwise colorless image, and that was a decal saying “This Car Climbed Mt. Washington.

New Disciplines/New Challenges

One of the big challenges was the sheer volume of trees and vegetation. It's quite beautiful at the mountain, as you ascend and encounter different types of vegetation and scenery at different layers of elevation. The sheer volume of rocks was a problem as well. pic.twitter.com/0xzz9GybQh

— Greg Hill (@greghi11) July 31, 2021

The good thing about trying a project outside of your wheelhouse is it forces you to try new things. We could not place trees the way we always have, and there were too many rocks. Various shaders were needed to blend materials in a more convincing way. pic.twitter.com/t10OzIaXdR

Unintentional Leaks?

Jean-Christophe Bouchat posted in the forums that he just watched the Greg Hill interview… I noticed that he had the Ferrari Evo GT3 in his car list. In the second to last row on the picture the last letter looks like a 4 so that might be the AMG Gt4 confirmed? It could be also the Porsche GT4?

PS: On the list there are also ‘Kart’ and 3 Formule Renault (but maybe the 3.5a was the old/alpha)

TraXion Article

An online article on TraXion reviews all of the leaks from this week in a concise article including iRacing’s plans to build a LMDh car.

“We are working very hard to have (rain) operational by the end of the year,” Hill said on the livestream. “Whether or not that translates into it shipping by the end of the year, I don’t think we’re ready to say that. We want to make sure we do it right. Internally, at least, we’ll certainly be driving around in rain, both graphically and physically, by the end of the year.”

Myers answered that one, saying they “definitely have plans to build an LMDh,” and that they’ve been “speaking to some of their partners already” about the prospect.

The LMDh classifies under the new Hypercar category, a joint classification from governing bodies ACO, FIA and IMSA. Spelled out fully as a Le Mans Daytona h, this new prototype car is something brand new for 2022. Car manufacturers such as Acura, Audi, BMW and Porsche are all linked to having a car in this class when it officially starts.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway was the venue recently scanned from top to bottom and the hope is to have that released by sometime next year.

Monaco was mentioned as something that they would be open to doing now that they have more people employed, as well as other street courses. Drag Racing is something that’s been talked about, but they don’t see it likely just yet.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

• Race: Watkins Glen

• Wed Open:
  • Hall –p 17, slow
  • Ellis – p13 – on first lap hit curb on final corner and spun out hard, took some guys with me. Was second to dead last at that point and drove it back up to 13th. I had one other self spin after the stop, otherwise I might have caught tony
  • Rochette – P12 broke the top 10 streak on every niS attempt this season just wasnt fast 
  • Kyle = p7 Started p-17 and ran up to the top 5 after 13 laps. Had a couple small brushes with the wall but kept the car going strong. Pitted and went down 1 lap and fell to 11th and worked my way up to P-7.

Greg – P internet Issue

• Ellis – p. Wrecked out

Rochette P5 Redemption, now keeping the top 10 best finishes of the NiS Road of the week almost had 4th if i had 1 or 2 more laps

Official Series

Ellis  PWrecked out IRR – while leading it just came around it took out the field

• Four Hours of Charlotte – 
  • Ellis – p2 – 80 laps led out of 171, led the most laps – Missed q and almost missed the race walked in the office and they were gridding up. Start p11 – was up to p6 by lap 3. Then as pit stops came and went I gradually increased positions until I was leading laps. The unlimited resets definitely helped me as I had a meatball not once but twice, and I pitted to fix it. The winning team of 3, had 2 guys that were basically the same speed, and irating as me. The third guy had double the irating of anyone on track at the end. He was a second or more quicker than me every lap, so when he got in the car he was about 9 seconds back from me – he caught me fairly quickly, passed then gapped me… Still loads of fun, blasting through traffic like crazy all the time, there is no lul in the action. What was interesting is I ran it like a sprint race even though it was four hours long I had to go hard every lap
  • Tony – p4 – Love it. Im about to get lapped by this potato i go high and he runs me off the track and yells at me for being in the way. I got my payback later when i caused him a black flag by not giving him the chicane. So also o read there was supposed to be 2 quick repairs and they gave ya unlimited

Ellis – pwrecked – NextGen at Vegas – Lame

• Podium RCR MACONI SETUP SHOP RACE – 
  • Greg – p8 – ran out of laps
