2015 Sau Vic Iracing Championship

[Tony Olsson]

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

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

[Leroy Peterson]

My wheel was $60 secondhand on gumtree

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!

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
