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!!!

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
