Good luck guys. I am going to copy / paste on our FB page.

Good luck to Joel Martin, Urs Mueller, Gene Mohr, and John Morgan in their Sebring 12 hour race today. Have fun and enjoy the adventure. Team SPRA rocks.

I could be mistaken, but I can fix it when I get home from work today. I am using the information from a previous Sebring race and the iRacing post. https://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3683210.page#11827289 https://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/downloadAttach/2557095.page

I made you guys a new sheet for this year's event. https://bit.ly/39K2NWZ

Outstanding. I especially like the idea of the overhead view.

David M also asked about running some off the racing line laps. I do this. It is not so much about getting lapped, but many times we get "hung out" off the racing line and the track can behave much differently out there. The better drivers can adjust "on the fly" I cannot. Usually a couple of laps driving completely off the racing line will do the trick.

Bill, your post is totally on point. I am not a good driver, but I do have a lot of experience (mostly bad) in getting lapped. What I needed to learn was only "peeking" at my F3 (relative box) and mirrors. I would become so worried about the car approaching me, I would become fixated on my mirrors and lose control of my car (or wreck). My tip is to follow Bill's advise, stay focused on your driving, and listen to you spotter. Keep your eyes forward.

As soon as I start getting some confidence on this track and start pushing, it's the dipper that gets me every time.

@Louis Cannell cool......I was thinking maybe just use it to announce your braking points. It seems you have everything else covered.

@Louis Cannell Very nice thank you. Have you ever tried iSpeed? https://www.nessoft.com/ispeed/

Great post Louis with important tips! Thanks for sharing this.

Great stuff. Thank you Bill.

Since this appears to be video week this week's tip is also a Video. The video attempts to show some cornering advantages that may utilized at Brands. Special dedication of this video to John Unsbee who has been unable to race with us lately.

Our focus for this weeks tip will not be on Paddock Hill corner, although it certainly is deserving of focus. We will be considering Hawthorn Bend, Westfield Bend and Sheens. But before posting tips on these corners just watch the following video and become familiar with the track from a live video on board a Dallara F305. This driver is not pushing as many would in the Mazda but watch him hit the apex's so we can be pretty certain where to point our car.

Our league has been around for awhile now and hopefully will still be around in January. You asked about the delta screen. If you are unfamiliar with the tools available the best place to get up to speed is here: https://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/instruction.jsp Download the User Guide found on that page for your own reference. Back to the Delta Screen. When you launch the sim go to your options and find the section in the picture below. You will note on the picture above in the split time Delta you have a number of options. Display the deltabar and note that the tab key on your keyboard with cycle you through a number of options for you. When you are in your car and driving press the Tab key a few times and you will watch it cycle. You may want to move some of the screens around on your display. Maybe you don't want the delta window on the left side for example. When you are in your car press the Alt-K combination. This will allow you to move whatever windows you like to have open around on your screen. Take some time to look over the user guide I mention at the start and you will find lots of useful information there. The community is also a great source of help. Use the forums on iRacing if you have other questions, it's a fantastic place to meet other in our league and from other places. You will find that a lot of people are ready to give you some tips if you ask. This website may not be around much longer so it's important for you to know where you can get some info in case this disappears.

Hi Dev, great questions and welcome to the league. We hope to see you this week in practice and hopefully you can make the race. You will find at the practice sessions that everyone is very helpful so ask away. As to your great questions above I will make a post tomorrow. It will likely be in the tips section but I will come back and mention it here.

Maybe Joel will comment on this as he is our setup guru. I know last season we never get out of 5th. It is close at the end of the front straight but you are not bouncing on the limiter before having to gear down.

A reminder, today's Pro Mazda invasion @ Phoenix. 16:00 GMT

Added Saturday and Sunday practices to original post.
