With IMSA at Fuji this week being a half-lap for the race formation, this has to be the first time in a long time that I’ve seen little to no formation lap accidents. Nobody weaving wildly for two minutes. Nobody constantly slamming on their brakes. Nobody being run off the track. Nobody getting rear-ended and losing their bumper. Nobody aggressively rejoining because they fell behind. Just people in a god damn line all the way to the start. Please iRacing, make this the default for every race.

Visiting Vancouver for the first time. We got here last night. Walked around downtown for dinner, breakfast this morning, and now dinner tonight. I’ve seen a minimum of five people smoking crack on the sidewalk - and one of them was kind enough to blow the smoke at my wife. I was really excited to visit Vancouver but I have to admit I have very little interest in coming back after this trip.

Let me check what just happened.

I started middle of the field at ViR GT3. As soon as the leader takes off, three cars in front of my wreck out and I drive past them, then I get a black flag and a stop and hold penalty for “passing under yellow”, which might as well have instantly disqualified me from the race because I finished 19th after serving over a minute going through the pits.

Is that really how the start programming is? I get basically DQ’d and lose 100 iR because the cars in front of me crashed?

We’re a small group of friends split between US East and US Mountain that try to practice, qualify, and race GT3 Americas and GT3 Challenge almost every week - life permitting. We’re in our 30s and have professional STEM careers. We’ve been on iRacing for well over a year and race pretty cleanly, but maybe not as fast as we’d like to be since we have kids and jobs. Looking for like-minded drivers to try to do more endurance events. Younger is alright if you can act maturely. We’re currently looking at the 6 hours of the Glen. We’re timing clean laps at 1:46.200 in practice, with some headroom to run 1:45.800. If you’re interested, send me a DM. A screenshot of a few consistent laps around the Glen would be helpful.

Thanks!

How does the company collect repayment of the sign-on bonus if you leave before you complete your first year? Do they take it out of your final paycheck, or send you a bill in the mail later?
