Houston Raceway Park in Baytown, Texas, closed for good after 35 years following the NHRA Spring Nationals in April. Palm Beach International Raceway in Florida …

Endurance Racing Strategy And Tactics

Posted on by Gerard

Endurance Racing Strategy And Tactics – IRacing is made up of a huge number of cars competing in multiple different series types over a wide range of racing distances. Races can last as little as 20 minutes or last up to 24 hours. Strategy isn’t essential in short 20 minute races, but it can decide whether you win or lose when it comes to longer races.

There’s no point in being super fast at the start of a race. However, you fall off a cliff due to poor tire management and end up in a much lower position than expected or, worse, make a pit stop when everyone else doesn’t stop.

Endurance Racing Strategy And Tactics

IRacing uses an advanced tire model that simulates tire wear similar to real-world racing. It is therefore essential to have a car setup built specifically for the race and a separate one for qualifying. …

Motogp Tire Technology

Posted on by Gerard

Motogp Tire Technology – From the first race of the 2014 season, Bridgestone will use a new color coding system for its MotoGP™ tires to make it easier for spectators to see which front and rear tire options each rider is using at a given time. brings

The change to the tire marking system was made in response to Factory and open class machines having access to different rear options during a race weekend. The old marking system marked the optional softer tire with a white line in every race, regardless of the compound of that tire. The new system means that each of the four lightweight tire components – Ultra-Soft, Soft, Medium and Hard – will have its own specific color for the entire racing season.
