• i have not skip ' barber ' lim i have not skip ' barber ' lime rock!!!

  • From: Ludovic Lefevre
  • Description:

    Another day for another post and almost another victory. After totally missed indianapolis, and doing a lot of mistake in the first race i made yesterday on lime rock with the skip.

    I feel like i have to try again and hope i would make a result. After a start at the second place. I was on attack, but unfortunately, a lapper made me loose a lot of time. I had to go on harder, and was time from time reducing the gap between me and the first, alejandro. But unfortunately for him, he made a mistake at 15 lap from the goal.

    I was now first, i continued to attack for almost five lap; and as i was ten second before the second. I have made a end of race very slow.

    So here it is, last season it was my first win ever, and it was in late model from oval. Now i am really proud to have made my first victory one a road track.

     

    and this week it's brandy!!!

• On the road again! On the road again!

  • From: Ludovic Lefevre
  • Description:

    After a good season in late model with one victory and a lot of podium. I thought it could be great to start a road season, while i would be learning to drive the truck.

    So here i am in skip barber, i was thinking it could be great to learn single seat formula. I really enjoy my first race at virginia and discovered summit which i like very much.

    I made a lot of mistake yesterday but even finish at a disapointing place the 4th, but what a fight with raoul. It's very hard to overtake.

    So now i am looking forward brands hatch and will add some media as soos as possible. I think that i can restart a film i had in head which calls "itself inside the head of a sim driver."

    Although i also really like the post of steve, and i agree to him when he said that it was a game... But what a game

    so much fight and a lot of driver with a lot of respect...

    thank you all

    see you on the track and news from inside soon i have now enough great fight to illustrate my passion.

• Inizia l'avventura in iRacing. Inizia l'avventura in iRacing..

  • From: Gianluca Altieri
  • Description:

    Dopo un breve periodo durato meno di un mese per ambientarmi domani.. 2/2/2010 inizia la mia prima "vera" stagione in iRacing..
    Sabato sera, con ben 2 giorni di anticipo..  ho conquistato la patente D tramite il fast track.. ovvero raggiungendo 4.0 come livello di Safety Rating ( che è un indicatore che misura quanti incidenti si fanno). La mia prima piccola soddisfazione in iRacing, sperando ne arrivino altre.
    Seguendo il consiglio di piloti esperti da domani quindi girerò con la Skip Barber Formula 2000.
    
    Il primo circuito che affronterò sarà Infineon, che a primo acchitto ho trovato molto ostico. Una serie di sali e scendi senza riuscire a vedere la curva successiva che mi ha tirato fuori più madonne che giri puliti. Fra l'altro confrontando i tempi ottenuti.. 1:53:9 con quelli di Massimiliano (compagno di avventure agli esordi in Pontiac Solstice) ne esce fuori che sono circa 6 secondi più lento di lui.. e questo è assolutamente deprimente. 
    Stasera si prevede almeno 1 ora di pratica.. nella speranza che con un pò di costanza si riesca ad abbassare 3-4 secondi.. il minimo per non fare delle gran belle figure di merda domani all'esordio.

• Quick enough to hit a wall Quick enough to hit a wall

  • From: Brian Holmes
  • Description:

     

    I’ve hit a wall but it’s the right one. I can be quick in most of the cars I can race (the two Solstices, Spec Racer Ford, Jetta, Skippy, Mazda and Radical) but can’t quite crack those alien times. Like so many others here I’m a second or so off the alien times and can’t seem to find that extra speed.

     

    Testing over the weekend in the Mazda, for example, I set a 1:44:1xx in the Star Mazda at Silverstone. Scott U’Ren is currently leading the Star Mazda championship (2009 Season 3) and I had the good fortune to be in a practice session with him. His best recorded time at Silverstone Grand Prix circuit is a 1:43:536 but someone else who was in the practice session with me, I forget who now, set a 1:43:2xx – so I’m about a second or half a second off the pace in the Mazda.

     

    Later on in the Jetta around Infineon Long I did a 1:51:949, which again was off the pace by quite some margin. Championship leader Andre Gomes set a 1:50:850 in practice but his best ever recorded time is a 1:50:676 which he did in qualifying in 2009 Season 3. So I’m about a second off the alien times in the Jetta too.

     

    Earlier in the weekend I was in the Skippy at Summit Point – Jefferson Course and set a 54:644 after much practice and buggering around with the setup while championship leader (2009 Season 3) Klaus Kivekäs set a best recorded time of 54:289 in a race.

     

    Where are these guys finding that extra speed? Try as I might I just don’t know.

     

    Another area where they differentiate themselves from me is that I’m just cracking those numbers once or twice and then settling into times that either differ by half  second or so every lap, which shows that I’m inconsistent, or times that are consistently a half second slower. In cars on tracks where my times differ quite a lot from one another I often end up crashing out of a race.

     

    However, all of this is a giant leap forward for me. I used to be a solid two seconds or more off the alien times in a given car on a given track and that was after days of practice.

     

    What’s changed? The biggest single difference, besides the obvious one being that I have a few more laps under my belt, is that I have refused point blank to use other people’s setups or the defaults that are provided by iRacing. I insist on making my own setups now and while I still feel like a blindworm groping around a rotten apple I am making some progress.

     

    After some careful studying bells ring, alarms sound and occasionally, bulbs begin to glow, however dimly, while I spend hours in practice fiddling and tweaking. And all the while I’m doing more laps, getting more in touch with the car, more in touch with the track, more in touch with my PC hardware.

     

    I’m not just aimlessly fiddling with setups or changing numbers arbitrarily either. I picked up a copy of Going Faster! Mastering the Art of Race Driving compiled by The Skip Barber Racing School and published by Bentley Publishers. I have read it cover to cover and now reference specific sections.

     

    I don’t suggest that this is the definitive book and that you should rush out and get a copy if you want to go faster but this book’s explanations and theory resonated with me. It’s combining what I discover on the track with the theory presented by this book that deliver those light bulb moments for me. My suggestion then is that, if you want to improve your race craft, find some authoritative resource that resonates with you. The alternative is to labour excessively and rely on natural talent but that’s the long and torturous route. I’m not a masochist and I don’t like to hit walls.
