When your SR crosses a whole number you are awarded an extra .4...

Prerace your SR is 2.93, you gain .1 for a clean race and the SR crosses into the 3's at 3.03. You are then awarded a .4 bonus to anchor you into the 3's so you don't jump up and down.

Your net SR gain would show up as .5....

Found out the other day that one of my friends had talked to the folks at iRacing about doing some marketing work for them.  They offered her a free trial which she told me about and said I could have it at which point I had to tell her I appreciate it but there's no way our 7 year old Dell can run the game and I need to convince the other half to let me buy a steering wheel.   :mad:

Dimebag, I finally got around to adding you.  I should be in your "racers list" thing or whatever they call it.

Have not had good luck at Laguna Seca... really hate that track.  Never fails; I grab the inside curbing with one of the rear wheels at some point and yank the car around, promptly losing multiple positions in seconds.  :(

Giving the Mustang a try at Summit, currently.  Feels like a pig after the open-wheel cars and I am disappointed with the lack of any substantial reaction to heavy trail braking.  Seems like you need to *try* to spin it in order to rotate the car under decel.

Also learned something while chatting with a couple of the guys during a practice session last night... apparently there are sound packs available for the game that change everything from the basic effects to your spotter's voice and language.  Best ones, I hear, are available at www.dwarehouse.com or something to that effect.

Anyone use a sound pack?  Other recommendations?

Final iR thought for the day is that the G27's 4th gear is not as stout as I would like.  I am consistently missing it and I am almost certain that it's the contact, not me.  Had zero issues for the first few weeks of use.
