Will do.

First round was two weeks ago. Track is very narrow and is really hard to pass. Only 10 on track at a time. Practise I was 8th. I qualified in 6th. Finished the race in 5th but also set the second fastest lap time for the night.

Apparently all the other guys are regulars apart from me and one other guy so I'm pretty happy with that result.

Hoping to be a little further up tonight. Fingers crossed! :)

So with no other votes the track that got chosen for tonight's final SViRC round will be - Laguna Seca (USA) - the track was picked from a sophisticated randomizer called a 'beanie' with the track names inside. See you on the track from 8pm for prac :)

How'd you go last night Tony?

I qualified third last night. Finished in third and also set the fastest lap of the night in the race. Was a little bit faster than the car in 2nd but couldn't find a spot to pass cleanly.

I wish we had more tracks in Canberra so we could mix things up a bit, but there's not a lot I can do about that.

Thanks for the race last night Tony.

The the new tyre model is interesting as a couple of times the car slipped without notice, also seemed like it ran out of brakes as well especially lap 16 when you was behind me into turn 1.

Was a fun clean race, bar my spinning :P Gary and I had the track to ourselves. My brakes started to go around lap 13 and my butt went numb lap 14, was interesting fro there on in! :P

Awesome result Chris, was it indoor or out door? Our last Karts event with SAU Vic was an inside track and seemed from what driver said was little slow.

PS. Will post last nights results and a series wrap up by weekends finish :)

Glad to hear you guys got to fight it out. Interesting that the brakes were fading. Which car were you guys in?

This place is indoor. The karts get up to about 70km/h and they're all electronic so they're fairly torquey. Turn one is a nice wide 90 degree left hander that you can do with the throttle flat, so the track isn't too slow.

Here are the results from the last round of the 2014 SViRC, the smallest field of the season still saw some fun and interesting racing due to a new iRacing build.

Championship results are -

So congratulations to the top three drivers, trophy presentation date will be announced soon.

With the first season of the SViRC all finished up I would like to thank all those who participated, whether it have been for every race or just a few laps, everyone who got on track made the series what it was. With fun and safe racing every round it was more than enjoyable racing visiting virtual tracks from around the world.

Hope to see people back next year for the 2015 SViRC season!!!

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
