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

To join the ‘SAU Vic iRacing Championship’ head over to www.iRacing.com then search the league directory for the ‘SAU Vic iRacing Championship’ and click on the ‘join’ button.

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 :)

    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?
