Ok - just joined iRacing on the weekend. I currently suck ass but that's ok.

When's the next race? I'm in.

Seen and added you this morning, welcome to the series and hope you have fun :)

As other drivers have already started next race is tomorrow 8pm start and the 'Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca'. Awesome track and racing there should be fun!

Being new to iRacing if there is anything like tips or setup advice feel free to ask away, I'm sure one of us will be able to come up with an answer for what your looking for :)

So its on tomorrow night for round 2 at Laguna Seca, and who doesn't love driving this track?! With a multi-story drop at the corkscrew this track can really put a driver to the test, and having plenty of places for overtaking choice of car may be the decider in this round... So get your practice on and see you at the track tomorrow night! :)

Grabbed a 3mth account last night after seeing snowy curse at some "MX5", turns out he was right. I suck bad, but still spent 2hrs trying to get consecutive laps without farking up in that damn car. Using a DFGT which seems fine with the logitech settings around the web but I'm thinking if I actually get decent, this stupid game is gonna get expensive.

Hehe yes, how do you make that bloody MX5 not suck?

Best solution for this race series is to use the SCAA - it's far less of the death trap. lol

Any word on if I'm running late on whether I can still join in at say 8:30 or something presuming the actual race hasn't started yet? Not sure on the protocols as to whether you can skip practice and quali?

Practice starts in 20mins. Practice runs for 50mins so if you turn up at 8:30 there will still be time to run a few laps before the qualifying session :)

Saw and added you miniwog (your Mr. Burns right?), welcome to the series! :) One tip I can give. When in game go into the 'Options' and where it says 'Force factor:' under 'Brakes' is where you want to have a play, can really improve braking when you get the setting that yours for you. Hope it helps a bit :)

Server not up yet?

sorry: Just realised that its really only just 8pm now.. My clock may or may not be ~10 minutes off at the moment haha :/

    • 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.
