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. Membership to the site is very affordable and much cheaper than panel beating or a new gearbox! There will also be trophies for the top drivers 3 at series end.

So get ready for an action packed year in the SViRC!

See you on the track! :)

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 :)

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
