Pro Endurance VLN General Discussion

2747 should be the weight. The correction in the stats has been made. Thanks!

cheers chris just wanted to double check this

BMW 1 Series build is wrong. Following the correct build comes out to:

B581
340BHP
337 LB-FT
3,055LBS
51%
3.0L

This is whats listed in the thread -

B580
340 HP
337 LB-FT
3,056 lbs
51%
3.0L

Remove the flywheel, problem solved. Also amended in the proper thread.

I made that change before but apparently I forgot to hit submit haha.

I wasn't sure if the build was wrong, Or if you had listed the stats wrong. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hey guys, cant't wait for this race.

How long is a stint. There is mention in the rules for 10min turn around so stints are 1:50 and assume start in the even hour (gmt). But when we're doing a test it appeared we only had 1:45 or 2hrs to pick from. Certainly not a big deal either way I just practice stint lengths so I just wondered. I'm guessing it's the 1:45 with 15min to next race for us double /triple stinting?

What will happen is the race will be set to 2 hours, but you will stop when the timer runs down to 10:00. The next stint will be set up at 15 min before the next stint. That way, the room will be ready except for those that need to come over from the last stint.

I hope that makes sense.

Makes sense to me. I was hoping it would be same lobby. So I could get up go bathroom, drink etc. For 9 minutes. But this makes sense. But that means everyone's a DNF, right?

Thanks for the details. That way I can practice double stinting overnight tonight / Saturday and then triple stinting following week.
Thanks

That's a shame. That's a lot of driving over the 24 hours to not even get money/xp from lol

I await patiently for a much anticipated RSR entry or entries!

It does, but unfortunately there's no other way to record the results.

You'll get credits/xp assuming you don't have to jump out a do the next stint. But the more you do in a row the worse off you'll be if wanting credits and xp.

I got enough now. I just like to be apart of 24 hours race and do the best I can for the team. Certainly  getting plenty of credits practicing, anyway.

I can't wait for this. It's been too long since we did this as a community.

There has been talk amongst the team about it, just trying to gauge how much interest/commitment there is. If there isn't a great deal I will try to find a drive as a wildcard for another team

If you are double stinting then yes you generally have to leave the lobby asap to get the next stint started on time but if you are not the driver of the following stint you are welcome to stay in the lobby while the timer runs down to claim your credits and xp.

So we have a predicament: We will potentially have 17 teams signed up and a lobby holds 16. We are all for quality and fun. We will be addressing how to approach this and would appreciate some thoughts. Our decision will be final ultimately but know that we have the events interests at heart and the essence that makes these events so great!

My vote is for knockout qualifying in SP1.

Bit harsh on the slower drivers that wish to compete. Enduro's aren't all about pace.

I'd say base it off of sign up order.

Pace won't define it if that is the route. I've already mentioned that our grey area is 17-19 and we need either 16 teams or 20+ to warrant a single lobby/two lobbies.

Why not have two lobbies with 8 in one lobby and 9 in another lobby?

Last to sign up works too

I only say knockout as we are competing in an iRacing endurance championship which uses this format where for 100+ entries, the top 60 make it. Works like a charm

We want to avoid small lobbies if at all possible. These are long races and become repetitive when the field is too spread out. The quality is sacrificed and when you consider that for example lobby 1 would be 5 GT and 4 TCC and lobby 2 is 5 GT and 3 TCC, well it's not very exciting for lobby two in TCC

If we were going to split the lobbies, I'd prefer to split the classes as well.

That would be the plan

It would be different if there were that many signups, but we want as many as possible, to set a precedent for future events. Not my call in the end however.
