1 hour/30 laps of practice down, first time driving the track and second time driving the car. My first lap was a 25.5 and my final and best lap was a 19.3 with a potential of a 18.9. Still a lot of work to go in regards to consistency and confidence. I'm coming for that 17.9 @grobi0815

Good to hear.
It's now a 17.6 , but you're on the right way

 

[GoDATP]

Sorry, was on vacation. I'm pretty much down with anything, no worries if we have 3 imo.

Time of day will be "Afternoon"
Atleast, it should be, considering it's supposed to be the same as IMSA.

Then my times go up to steady 19:2 and pb 18:9

Important news for the race: Time of day is afternoon and incident limit is 50!

Wow.. 50 seems tight imo.. It's not just cut tracks. I guess we'll do what we can

 

[Dutchtastic]

Yes, 50 incidents isn't a lot. I used up 49x on my own in the 6 hours iELMS in the GTE car. Which also has a limit of 50 incident points. A lot of the iRacing drivers are starting to complain though that the incident limit is just a random cointoss instead of a calculated move. So it might change.

 

[GoDATP]

I imagine it'll change.
In the meantime, about 40 laps of practice in, best lap is an 18.5 with a normal pace of a high 18/low 19. Gonna keep at it, lemme know if anyone wants to switch around teams, I'm open to ideas.

With time of day set to Afternoon? Awesome!

I did my testing in afternoon conditions too as I didn’t know what the official conditions were before then, forgot to mention that. How much do conditions change lap times? And what should a consistent race pace lap be for afternoon conditions?

 

[Dutchtastic]

I’ll see if I can do a few laps tonight to give you all an estimate of reasonably quick laps. I’ll share a video with inputs if I can

 

[javoresku]

If you want a reference of slow laptimes - high 21's with 21.1 optimal and 21.4 best. Baseline setup with a full tank, default weather, afternoon, Ford (GTE)

 

[The Wayfaerer]

i will probably start practicing the end of this week or beginning of next week

 

[GoDATP]

Times I posted earlier wasn't afternoon btw. Now that I'm on afternoon I'm doing low-ish 20's, reeeallly struggling for grip and the car feels super skatey. Finding myself pushing way too hard lol. Anyways, we'll see where we get by the end of the week

I could participate but then realized telling my times might be an outlier.

He means his laptimes

OHH. Whoops. Still plenty of time @falcon2081, you'd be surprised Don't let Dutchy or Grobi over there intimidate you, they're the quick ones

We know you're an alien. Tell us your times. We can take the punch

Maybe Dutch can go close to Falcons times. But Falcon is on his way to the Pros. He is a real and probably driving 1:17:xxx.

Shall I create a new thread just for the "outlier"
