Pre-Race Interview-

1- This week, we stay in the US of A for a trip to the hills of Road Atlanta!  How do you like the F3 around this track?

2- How much racing time do you average in a week?  Is it all F3 or do you run multiple series?

3- Some of us are living in -30 degrees, some of us in +30 right now.  If you could have your way, would you rather have the warm or cold?

Pre-Race Interview is up!

 

[CajunGrit]

I’ll be heading up to Arkansas to photograph a wedding this weekend, so i won’t be able to race this week. Best of luck to everyone.

 

[TRG]

1. Its great! I think. Let you know on Thursday.

2. 45 minutes if I manage to finish the race. More racing than sex. #winning!

3. I like seasonality... keeps the complaints from my wife different.

1) I like Road Atlanta. Everything races well here.

2) I do a lot more practicing than actual racing, but either way I probably spend way too much time in my rig. I've thought about focusing on 1 car, but I get bored too easily, so I jump around. That's probably why I'm slow to improve but, whatever. I'm having fun.

3) As a ginger, I absolutely hate being hot, especially if it's from a blazing sun. I also think the beach is boring AF. I take my vacations in March and I go to where the snow is deepest so I can slide down mountains.

1- This week, we stay in the US of A for a trip to the hills of Road Atlanta!  How do you like the F3 around this track?

I like driving/riding anything at Road Atlanta.  Fun track with a lot of character and it makes you pay a steep price for an error.



2- How much racing time do you average in a week?  Is it all F3 or do you run multiple series?

Depending on the week it's somewhere around 10-15 hours. I spend most of my time on the open setup F3.  I run the F3 sprint series once or twice per week and I also like the occasional oval race as well as the dirt trucks.  I guess I like anything that goes fast I just don't have enough time!


3- Some of us are living in -30 degrees, some of us in +30 right now.  If you could have your way, would you rather have the warm or cold?

I'll take snowy winters and 80 degree summers.

1. I enjoy the track other than T3.

2. Multiple series, and I don't get near enough wheel time for any of them lol

3. Its 85 in Florida!!! There is a reason I am a lifer here lol

 

[paulwildridge]

1. Haven’t driven the f3 around there but can’t imagine it isn’t fun. Word of advice for prl, run every race at road atlanta no matter the series! Second run the indycar every race every series. You do that prl will reign supreme. Jerome and all the organizers will be rich beyond their wildest dreams! They will be scruge mcduck’ing their own swimming pools!

2. For f3 i am lucky to do 2 hrs at this time. Maybe 2 or 3 hrs for endurance stuff when there is a race coming.

3. I enjoy the seasons and change of temp but wouldn’t mond a perfect 65 everyday either.

Hey guys, I was in the session right after it launched and then the server disconnected. I no longer see the session and can't rejoin. Anyone else having a similar problem?

 

[dkranes]

I don't see the league session for tonight.  It was there earlier and gone now.  It's not on the league calendar on iracing either. there's a blank spot for 1/16.  Anybody else having this problem?

 

[dkranes]

Hey Greg, looks like we posted at the same time. I have the same problem.

 

[Bad Santa]

It was there 15 minutes ago! Now it is gone. Russians...

 

[rodclinard]

Nothing for me either

 

[Joshuadaniels]

 

[Gunner]

OK all, I have put up a new session, sorry for the issues. Unfortunately the practice time will be shorter to adjust for our race to still start roughly on schedule (might be a few minutes later than normal). The session should show up shortly

 

[dkranes]

unfortunately even though start time is 6:45pm today the session doesn't appear active for me.  I still am unable to join.

*edit, never mind, I see the updated 7:05 start

** make that 7:00 now

 

[Bad Santa]

Can see it now but it will not let us join.

 

[Gunner]

Should be good now guys! It wasnt launching again, I had to move the start time again.

 

[dkranes]

I hate to make it more difficult but the race date appears wrong. Official iRacing series is some January date. This session is in may so we now have a 40 degree difference between track temp vs air temp.

everyone's setups are useless like this.

 

[TRG]

Then this is another case of iRacing changing the schedule/details on us from its original posting. We had a similar issue on Tuesday.

We can't be constantly monitoring iRacing's schedule/settings beyond the initial post pre-season. Its just not feasible.
