@Bean0 do you still race? We used to race together in LFS.

Yeah, I recognised you username from back in the day :)

Still active(ish) in LFS, my team did the MoE 24hr just last weekend and got a decent result. We mostly do the endurance events and leagues rather than pick-up races.

I do play iR as well, but keep missing races due to the scheduling. Elkdanger is on there too.

I don't use it as it puts me off I start driving to hard.

Shows time delta compared to best lap.
Shows speed +/- compared to your best lap at this point on the track.
Can show +/- speed and deltas for someone else's lap file.
Can show statistics from another computer via the web interface.
Can show statistics on your iPhone / iPod touch / similar.

I don't know if i should thank you or shout at you, on the one hand this is really great and i wish i knew about it sooner as i use a reduced fov so don't see the dials all that great. On the otherhand i am now looking at small lcd's so i can run it on that :p

Don't have a netbook, though that would be an option :p

Someone may have mentioned it already but you you can run it via browser on a smartphone if the phone (and your router, obviously) has wi-fi. It certainly worked on my Nokia 5800, though the screen couldn't be persuaded to stay on permanently, so that was a waste of time.

iPhones work better I believe. Not sure, I only used it for the period between Stephane's superb app being blocked and the iRacing alternative turning up. I was hoping they'd eventually get round to allowing that to be tweakable, because I was never a big fan of the big bar cluttering up the screen.

I'm also finally managing to increase my SR. I even managed to get +0.06 on a race that was complete carnage despite hitting someone head on because I came around a corner to see 4 cars flying everywhere.

I do have one question regarding SR. Sometimes when I make contact with someone very slightly it displays Car Contact (x0). Does this have any effect on my SR?

Nope.

Just noticed my Oval SR has gone up even though I've never raced on one, means I can participate in those events now though :D
 
Have you done any qualifying or TTs ?
They also count towards SR, but with a multiplier of 0.35 or so.

It's easier to increase SR once you get out of the Rookie series.
You do longer races on longer tracks, so more corners per race.

Yeah I have. I added you on iRacing btw after I found your name (but can't find elk).
 
Here's Elk, although it looks like he hasn't raced since december. I added you the other day too.

The NKPro patch I mentioned with rain is now out, its only 15 euros at the minute too.
 
I'm not entirely sure really.

Since we have each other as friends, we should both be able to see when the other is racing, or signed up for a race. It is then possible to sign up for the same race (license/content required obviously), if it doesn't split then we should be in the same grid, if it does, then it'll depend on iRating.

I've not played NKPro online for a while, but there was certainly at least one league with regular races. The new hillclimb track is probably best run offline anyway. For the sake of 15 Euros you can't go wrong really.

It depends. Sometimes iRacing will but you in the same race if you have a similiar ranking. I've had it with some other friends. But generally speaking you cant race together unless its hosted.
