iRacing Adv Solstice lap at Lime Rock Park

this is a 1:02.9 lap. Not too many did sub 03 laps at the time, although with this latest physics update it should be easier next time we visit LRP.

@Gr1mPenguin Scratch the 2 seconds sentence, it will probably be just one

[Gr1mPenguin]

I did 1:02:085 with a 360 controller ( calibrated in a "progressive" manner to get more smoothness ) , but i'm sure i could get another second or two with a Wheel.

No, i'm not trying to brag, really, i'm just curious to quantify how much did the physics update change. I can't know that since i registered like 3 days ago.

Did you perhaps try a couple of laps again?

would a logitech driving force gt steering wheel be any good for iracing?

GReat driving, and love how you managed to blip the throttle in that first downshift between maintaining partial throttle for momentum. A great advantage that comes with left-foot-braking no doubt ^_^

@teamphat

That's about the best I can do too. I still feel discouraged not hitting 1:03s like others do in practice, is it possible they're using an adv. Solstice?

I want to start racing but what time do you think I should aim to be consistent with?

Also, as a general question on the side what comes after the Solstice, Spec Ford?

What was your progression like if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks in advance.

@chinmassager The video has been done with the Advanced Solstice, not the Rookie car, the driver is Frosty, who has huge experienced and is one of the fastest drivers in the whole service.

Also, the video has been done 2 years ago, the car has gotten physik updates since then and drives a little different then it did when this video was made. So dont get discouraged.

Driving 1:07 if your new to iRacing is a VERY good lap time.

im new to iracing and i have literally no idea how you manage to control the car going that fast through corners, it always results in me oversteering... driving me nuts. can only do a 1:07 :(

Does the latest physics upgrade include an updated tyre model?

I hit the spacebar twice to get rid of the menus.. LOL nice run btw *****

ya, i'm not sayin your act labs is junk. i got an old truck i've had forever and i love it. but sitting next to a new truck, it would be an easy choice.
