So here's the tune
2 things
Do not hit curbs
And not late brake.. And adjust brake ducts to your liking :gtpflag:

Thanks for letting me get some laps in with you guys, I was nervous the whole time... like a job interview. Think I might smoke some weed and have a glass of Chardonnay during qualifying - calm the nerves a little. :cheers:

Interesting setup, looks just like the default loose setup with very little change.
 
Okay guys, another n00b question. Do you guys have any tips or suggestions for doing a 90 minute race, other than making sure you hit the head and have a glass of water at the ready? This will be by FAR the longest race I have ever done online, and again, kinda nervous about it. I know I'm sounding like a broken record but just wondering if there are any things you guys do to make it. Most of the, minimal, online racing I have done have been in the neighborhood of 3-5 laps...

I've done full races in F1 2018 and such, but always offline - so if I need to poo or something I just pause on a straight and go git'er done, come back and finish the race... Heck, I've paused a race and come back an hour or so later, like go eat or something.

Anyway, looking forward to finishing tonight - that's my goal as of now. Just to finish the car.

Typically, what I do, is make sure I have ate something so I don't get hungry, use the restroom before hand, and have a bottle of water next to me that I can sip from during pit stops. Other than that just try to stay relaxed and focused during the race. Don't be nervous or twitchy and try to keep the heart rate calm. Make smart decisions, use the human part of your brain not the monkey part, and you should be there at the end.

*IMPORTANT* - Maker sure your pit strategy is setup prior to the race!

Glad you asked. I wanted to give you a heads up before the race in case in case you may not know. Couple things.

1. FUEL: You'd need to do some calculation before hand to estimate the amount of fuel needed to see you though the session....and also for pit stop/s if necessary.
......An observation: The maximum tank capacity for this Indy car (in my case the Chevy)...on this track Watkins Glen is 70 Litres (15 Laps according to the in-game estimation). Obviously for this length of race (90 minutes) you'd need to refill in pit.
......Long and short, you'd need to figure out your starting fuel and pit stop strategy (fuel etc needed).

2. PIT STOP STRATEGY (Setting options): This lobby runs with Damage on (Check page 1). So for example if you're involved in a collision there may be damage to car and/or engine and other parts and will affect performance. So a good idea is in Pit Strategy to select options for Damage repair. I usually have everything on in "Damage" except brakes.
......For this Indy series the hosts have kindly made an exception for damage with regard to the body/aero but engine damage will still be a factor. Might as well leave damage repair on as suggested. After choosing whatever Pit Stop options make sure to "Save" the strategy.

Note: After Practice or Qualifying make sure to double-check the Pit Stop Strategy you selected is still selected as indicated by a check mark next to it as Pit Strategy may change to "Default" in-between sessions.

That's as much as I can think of right now unless anyone else needs to add or clarify further.

Exactly what he said. Just replace "water" for "alcoholic spiked beverage" and you're good to go.

Also, puffing the dragon helps.:D

Edit: @Stanc03 made it before me to the first corner.

NY bad I didn't know it was going to upload thumbnails instead of the full size pictures. I'm prob gonna have to go with my original plan of Google docs

If you select "Full Size" they would be fine though.
 
Thanks for all the feedback guys... I've never messed with the Pit Strategy option, so I may have a question or two during practice. And I was joking about the weed and wine, don't smoke that stuff - cigars is another story... and not a fan of wine - whiskey/scotch on the other hand... :lol::lol:

I'm so excited for the race tonight - I'm not getting anything done today here at work in anticipation...

And thanks @Stanc03 , every time I put together a decent lap, and thought, "Yes!", you went out and smacked me by a full second or two!!! Bwahaha!! Then (I think) Xrad came in and like in one or two laps started smacking fast laps like a Whack-a-mole game - you and him started trading FL's. I thought, crap! I had to take all the fuel out of the car to run the 1:26.xxx there towards the end - but will say it was a freaking blast.

This morning I've already started scheming on how I can get the T3PA Pro pedals to the house without the better half finding out and kicking me in the jimmy. 💡
 
Out of curiosity, what wheel do you guys use??

This is what I'm using for this Indy race, new rim from my boys for Christmas:

The rig I built this summer:

And my user name is barryf1fan (been on GTP since 2001) but I'm a (President Trump voice) HUGE MotoGP fan, and this is mostly what I play:

Nice. That wheel looks well complicated though.
Cool screen and rig.

What I use is in my sig.
 
I don't run anything special really, just a standard Thrustmaster T300 RS and pedals, on simple metal fold-able frame I bought off amazon.

Is it a Wheel Stand Pro? I have one for a Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel I have and used it maybe twice (before my oldest confiscated it for his PC).

Back in May, I was able to try a Logitech G920 (on a pc) and the HTC Vive VR with PCars 2

Saving up for a pc and Vive - if you ever get the chance to run this game in VR, do it. Freaking excellent!! The immersion is unbelievable. The guy said I was smiling like a new tampon in a sorority house!
