Welcome to the second running of the SViRC. The 2015 season will see a few changes while still focusing on safe and fun racing for all.

This year will have much the same format as last years running the included cars and road tracks that come standard with an iRacing membership but with 3 added rounds using Aussie cars and circuits.

The Aussie rounds will consist of the Ford and Holden racing cars along with the Phillip Island and Mount Panorama and Oran Park race tracks. While these rounds will not count towards overall series points they should be a welcome high paced change throughout the season.

The rest of the races in the series will use a point system like that of F1.

Positions 1 through 10 awarded 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1 points. Remaining positions awarded 0 points.

Race format is same as last year with -

Practice (50mins) – Qualifying (10mins) – Race 20 laps (approx. 30-35mins)

Cars -

Mazda MX5 Cup, Mazda MX5 Roadster, Pontiac Solstice and the Ford spec Racer.

(Aussie Rounds) - Ford Falcon FG V8, Holden Commodore VF V8

Tracks -

Lime Rock Park (USA), Okayama (JAP), Laguna Seca (USA) and Summit Point (USA), Charlotte (USA)

(Aussie Rounds) - Phillip Island, Mount Panorama, Oran Park

How is iRacing to play with a keyboard? Will I get brained by peeps with steering wheels?

Can only play iRacing with steering wheel or at the least a gamepad, and even then a gamepad is very hard to use against people with a steering wheel. Best bet would be to grab a wheel from a pawn shop for like $20 or so and see if its your thing and you have a bit of fun. I started with one from Cashies years ago and some of the best iRacing drivers still use older wheels, Either way well worth it and hope to see you on track :)

Will we be running fixed setups? To make the field even so that the people that have not got a

lot of experience more of a chance.

it will be fixed setups like last year yes :)

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to commit as much as I'd like to, like the latter half of last championship. But put me down and I'll come race when I'm around. Thanks Tony!

7th January – Test Round – Charlotte Motor Speedway (USA)

Tonight is the first time on track for the 2015 SViRC, practice is from 8pm from 50mins followed by a 10min qualifying session then onto a 20lap race. This round is primarily about having fun, getting back into the swing of online racing and to allow others time to join before the first round with points next month. If you took part last year you will still be on the list of drivers. If you are a new comer to the series head over to http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=1089 and join the league. See you on track tonight :)

    • 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?
