Think I'll do a bit of practice later tonight if I get the chance, not sure which I'll drive yet I do like the Solstice for an easy fun drive but maybe the Spec Racer or perhaps the MX5 Cup, no not the MX5, bah!!! But maybe the MX5!!! So need to practice! :P

think ill go the Ford. MX5s visibility is terrible and I find it super temperamental too. touch the brake at higher speeds and it gets very unstable, look at the car disapprovingly and it starts to understeer (even when stationary)

Yeah I did a few laps around lime rock in the srf last night. Moved the brake bias fwd a few percent and the baseline set wasn't too bad. So I'm thinking I'll race that

One more night till the first round is upon us! If you haven't already head over to iRacing.com and sign up to the league, just search SAU Vic iRacing Championship :) And if anyone else has a number they want in particular on their car let me know otherwise I'll just numbers the cars in the order they appear on the league page.

What a great way to start the series! Clean, safe and fun racing had by all!!!

Here are the results -

Next month sees the series at Laguna Seca on Wednesday the 2nd of July. Plenty of time to practice! :)

Didn't realise I was the only one left in the crappy car until the end

The car numbers and types seem to be mixed between Qual and Race for mine and Liam's cars

Not sure why the number mixed up, do you mean the style of the numbers? Will have a look in the replay but sounds like an iRacing bug, report it to them when you get the chance :)

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
