FRL~INDYCAR~ Plux Runs Out Of Fuel.... After He Takes The Chequers At The Motegi 300!Finished

[Ninners]

Just for Indy 500.

I wanted to be an independent because it wasn't likely I would do the whole season but I'm considering teams now.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Panoz will be running for ECM in place of me.

 

[Furinkazen]

Anyone for Indy 500 practice room / or attempting to Q tonight?

 

[Roflwaffle]

Some pracy would be fun.

Doing that on Wednesday afternoon/Thursday, after Wed's big test.

 

[Ninners]

I guess I could roll out some RHR stuff if I happen to be leading.

 

[Roflwaffle]

What I like about Indy, is that even if you have an accident, you're not out of the game. You just have to bide your time and wait for the next caution, so strategy is an important factor.

 

[Ninners]

Unless you're a lap down and can't get a wave around.

 

[Roflwaffle]

Then you wait for the inevitability of a massive pile-up.

I've been really, really let down so far by my setup. Indy is where I can actually put some decent pace in.

 

[Ninners]

Which you could get involved in.

Desperation level = team switcheroo

Dat 5,000th post.

Besides I like working/driving for Furi.

 

[Furinkazen]

Indy I don't think will have many yellows in all honesty when field is spread out. Cars will hit walls, drop 1/2 laps down... but it will be fascinating to see strategies.

The base setup is in the first 3 posts somewhere.

I just used that and made some personal changes to the dampers, arb and toe angle settings. The LSD and gearing is still stock pretty much, just adjust the speed for the tracks.

 

[Bo]

There might be a chance of me qualifying tonight. We'll see.

 

[Roflwaffle]

My race went to s:censored: when *Insert name here* came on the track right in front of me and gave me damage, so I had to pit 5 laps early and my strategy went to hell.

Also, why was I sent to the back of the grid?

Did you exit track before the race?

Blame Kaz. But did you exit track before it started?

EDIT: Tree'd 🤬

I run something very similar to that. Tyre life is what kills me, I was down to about 5 all round after 10 laps.

 

[Roflwaffle]

No, I reset my car back to the pits. And my lap after that was faster than my previous.

It's a balancing act - All out speed or a bit of aero?

 

[Ninners]

My longest stint was 23 laps and that was my fastest stint too. Left rear was 6 and front right was 8 and the rest were 7 when I pitted.

Started off with a 19.7, then a 19.9, then a 19.8 and a few more 19s then a few low 20's so it was faster than usual while also going longer.

 

[gokartman78]

I was running the setup in the OP and was able to do 26 laps on tyres for my middle stint. Pitted with 6 on the front left and 7 on the others

 

[Bo]

I ran full aero. After what you said on the mic, I pretty much agreed with you on not many people running full aero. It was good for the first corner though, since I was able to brake very late and defend through turn 1 about 10 times.

 

[Ninners]

I ran full aero too.

 

[Roflwaffle]

What? How the hell were you guys managing 26 laps? I was barely doing 13 and was still struggling massively with tyre wear

 

[Ninners]

When my tyres were old I dropped into the 21s so didn't lose that much time against most of the field.

 

[Furinkazen]

We're getting confused between road and oval here

 

[gokartman78]

Coast, short shift and brake in a straight line. Should increase tyre life by about 25% doing that alone

I didn't even do any tyre saving. I just pushed 100% and did 23 laps.

I'm talking about road
