iRacing Indy 500 - Fixed - 2024

Hello Freaks and Geeks and welcome to the Indianapolis 500 and well I think I actually did some rankings and I think oh my gosh yeah we're in second place a green line to the left we really want to be here because I am the estimated strength of the field is 1,380 um. I'm going to have to make a decision for the podium. I don't like the fact that I'm up here. I did some rankings and um, yeah, okay, I guess we're. I mean, I thought about starting from pit lane, but you know, let's see how this goes, let's see how this goes.

Honestly, I didn't expect to start on the front row of this, but I guess we're doing it about to go green, stay focused, P takes Taun, do your job, green flag, green flag, keep it up, yeah, that wasn't it A great start, but it looks like the field is behind us. they're starting their own problems still there inside H. I didn't want to hit the back of both of those two cars, so yeah, deep down, right, right inside, yeah, I wasn't in the big, honestly, no. I delivered. It's enough and I don't want to take exactly that mini risk, so I'm still there in the car outside, okay, it seems like some people are a little aggressive, right, someone just lost their wing.

I honestly thought that was going to result in a crashed car inside new for you still in there of course that could end badly actually the car in D 17 just set the fast plane 41 482 inside of course he just left the car alone in F 41 2 5 Honestly, I'm surprised the car is still running maybe maybe it was just a delay or slowdown it looked like it lost its wing maybe it still has it part of me actually wonders if I really made a good choice actually starting from up here oh god my car is really tight The car is just the F 41 1 four clear yellow caution flags FL alignment in single file Pit Road is closed oh so we have unlimited tires 20 well there's our first yellow flag of the day catch 20 t I decided not to pit this time uh or this yellow flag mainly because we're okay we're only about six laps in or whatever to be fair these cars burn fuel pretty quickly so maybe it would have been a good idea at least come for fuel, I mean let's um, I mean let's eat, I mean we have infinite tires anyway so about to turn green, stay focused, oops, that would have been my bad green green Green, the leader just went up 46 points 4 7 6 inside the L no I'm not going to go, sorry, I wanted to go too, maybe I should have gone around the outside, you're moving away from the C, the G is 1.5 seconds, the car just set the F 4 out, the yellow flag is out, they want you. single file, Pit Road closed is closed, pass two cats that 20, yes, the car is getting very tight for me and I don't know exactly how to fix that cat 20 pit box in 10 5 3 2 1 right here, all clear , hit him.

I want single file to catch that car 25 to be fair, how many people are here? 33 and it seems that a good number of them were already destroyed. I'm going to play it safe. I know I lost a lot of positions. Now, in the pits, but I didn't feel so comfortable in car 25, the tires were only at 94%, one for next time, well, back here I can play with the settings or the weight, Jacker and all that, maybe I can feel that I am going negative. It'll make me feel a little more comfortable catching that car 25 get ready going green green green green FL car ahead car inside clear inside inside still there keep your line still inside I see, oh, I mean, I kind of knew the back where everyone was the crazy ones The maniacs were inside C inside still inside clear inside inside clear inside car inside clear inside clear inside yeah, if you want to move on, I'm just going to sit and watch the chaos outside clear Stop inside still there clear inside you' We're losing with car in front, get is 1.1 TI, just set for set lap, yellow flag is out, line up single file, close Pit Road is closed, catch that car 26, uh, another warning C 26 and catch 26, to be honest, it doesn't matter exactly what position we finish in, as long as we finish the category 26 road is now open.

Punch Boxing 10 5 3 2 1 we're done right here, come on, they want you in single file, reach car 16, it looks like I'm there. mainly where I wanted to be, it's like backwards, okay H, take that 16. I wonder why I can't change the margin levels, since I can increase and decrease the values ​​of many other things, but okay, maybe that is not so. It won't be available to a certain point I don't know catch 16 car about to turn green stay focused set 16 green green auto green outside outside clear H I have a four like a ghost 4X I don't know how that's not a precaution like Immediately a warning again.

I tried to go to the left of the field or to the left side to allow people to pass me without having an incident or without you knowing how to get a black flag. The yellow flag is out. Line up single file on closed Pit Road. it's closed cat 25 restarts in the back are scary should be SP restarts anywhere on the field are scary catch that 5 catch 16 cars to be fair we are in 19th place and I feel like we would naturally drift this far anyway, With me it's not like pushing as hard as it would be, so I'm not really that worn out or whatever to be back here.

I'm just biting my time, it's only 30 laps or 28, it'll be 30 laps every time we get green again. So as long as we don't get killed in the restart, there's no incident limit? Hey? In reality, there is no limit on incidents. That's really new, that's very, very unique. Grab that 16 car and get ready to go green. People want to pass me, they can pass me. On the outside, the leader is running 46.5 61, although the car in front of me would prevent that from happening. Oh, the car got really tight there. I think it was a combination of the wake of the car in front of me and, uh, me. not taking off enough car four has taken the lead you are moving away from the time car the gap is 2.4 seconds you are moving away from the launch time the gap is 2.4 seconds yes, as long as I am right next to the car or the forward it pushes me really hard and then uh and that's just because of the slipstream or the dirty air or whatever and I leave enough there the car is closing 1.7 seconds yellow caution flag they want you in a single Pit Road is closed right now uh , I'm not going to catch car 16, okay let's start this race again and don't try to get yourself killed, get ready, the green post car is out of time to do your job. green, green, green, you're on F, the leader is running 45.7 two two in still there at the bottom still there keep your line clear in I wanted to try to slide in but well of course it wasn't clear the spotter didn't say clear I'm a fool, the yellow one.

The flag is outside, they want you in single file. Pit Road is closed right now. Oh, this is going to be like this for most of the race. One for next time. I wonder if there are enough idiots, um, tearing themselves apart. until we can get a proper green flag race, get ready to go green, well I'm not streaming this race, I'm recording it, the car goes out of time to do your job, green flag, green flag, get back to Fe the leader it's running 44.1 27 oh that actually made the auto auto a lot tighter that's not good okay in there hell.

I was giving you all the space in the damn world, you idiot, there are no damages to report. at least we didn't crash, that's good, but it's idiots like him who we should definitely avoid outside of you C outside I almost went too low there and almost went off 41364 and the main reason we don't pit is because I have the feeling that there will be another yellow flag before we run out of Bill or at least know we need a well to refuel. H, the car wake for the yellow flag is in line, single file. Pit Road is closed at the moment C 30 Alright, there's the yellow one we needed and to be honest I knew it was going to arrive sooner or later.

It was actually a very good green flag race, although P-road is now open boxing. 10 5 3 2 1 right here, okay, punch. lines up single file catch six what were our tires 90 or 84 get ready going green he takes the green flag green flag the leader just got up 45 381 uhoh they're double row up there, well I could probably see why inside the yellow The flag is out, line up in single file. The Pit Road is closed right now, he left us, my goodness, the position when the yellow flag came out was about to turn green, stay, take it and take the green flag.

The green flag I didn't know what they were doing there during the restart it seems like everyone was a little slow the yellow flag is out oh come on the road is closed oh my god I need to try to get up oh man I don't know why I'm getting up hypnotizing with all these precautions and I'm very, very sleepy for some reason, it's not that I haven't gotten enough sleep or anything. I wonder what the eight of them were doing at that time, why did they stop about to turn green, stay focused, the P car is off, be ready on time. to wake up again, come on, green flag, green flag, you're in the top 10, the leader is running 46.8 inside, sure, it got really tight, new tires are always really tight for me, like the combination of new tires and the cars in front of me. still there, of course, oh my god, I almost made it clear, it's okay, I just didn't damage just the wall at that time and I'm lucky I didn't have any damage.

I wonder if it's a combination of my tires being cold and all, or at least we are. doing a couple at least we acted as if we were losing one lap on the current front the gap is 1 second the yellow flag in single file The road is closed cat up 16 when will the warnings end? I mean honestly I just want at least a green flag run get ready going green Heist's car is off get ready green green Green the leader is running 46526 ction yellow row single file The road is closed and in the back of my head I thought that It was going to cause another warning, wasn't it? and it sure does, man, we can't even go one lap before we get a yellow flag.

I wouldn't mind all these yellow flags if we were able to, you know, go two or three laps before we get one but we can't even go one full lap before we get one looks good no damage to report I was scratching I was scratching my face at the time I mean at least I mean at least the warnings are relatively short I mean, it's long, it's a long caution lap, but at least we only do three laps at most, three or four. Knowing this race and everything I am, we will probably finish this race under caution.

Oh hello. you, the car just disappeared catch that car 16 huh, did they drop one? I should have seen it coming. I thought: wait, they lost connection? no they didn't, I think they almost did and we almost crashed into them. Great, we're about 25 laps from H uh at the halfway point, so at least that's something I want to say at this point, although I think the people who are wrecking and causing the yellows aren't actually taking any damage and um or are becoming terminal. damages and things like that, so we need some people to really go broke and suffer terminal damage and really like, you know, go broke because they're still in the race and therefore they're still going to cause problems. for everyone else get ready to go green I don't know what you're doing 16 the car is off get ready green green green we're in the top 10 the yellow flag is out they want you in single oh my god, we really just want to run, everyone, come on, we just want to run, stop hitting the wall, we just want to run, stop acting like a knob, that's illegal, not really, who knows, maybe iRacing has actually set that to illegal, who knows, I remember it was a big controversy or big, I don't want to say control, I guess it was a controversy in the realm of racing people or racing drivers or any racing community, whatever, yeah, especially the whole pit lane thing, uh, the white line, you know. and what is not the dedicated line or or the commitment line.

I was trying to find the words that I want to say, to be fair, that I agree with is like, you know, I mean, I like, you know the whole thing about playing games and stuff like that. am I going to pit am I gonna pit oh no, I'm not gonna pit or am I gonna pit I'm gonna pit I'm not gonna pit wait a minute no, actually I'm gonna pit, but there has to be a very fine line between that, um, and normally, I mean, I'm more of a fan of this under caution, but you know, under green and stuff that could also be very dangerous and I think that's where it all came from. the controversy.

The whole decision came from is um uh, there was aincident or something like that under the green. I need to refresh my memory because I don't exactly have a television. I don't exactly have cable, so yeah, and I don't know exactly. where I can watch things like the nd500 and stuff and it really sucks because I want to watch Nascar and stuff but you need cable to watch Nascar but I don't know and I'm wondering if there is, I mean presumably you can do the exact same thing with NASCAR um, but it's the whole thing with uh, with the limited or exclusive with Fox and what NBC Sport or I forgot, um, where they can't do something like NASCAR TV, which I mean.

I would totally pay for a subscription because I know people in the UK. I mean, you can buy a subscription for f1tv Pro, you just can't watch the races or anything, you can only watch the 30 minute review and all that. without you knowing, of course you have to use a VPN to look American and stuff like that, but yeah, I bet there's some contract, uh, contract, shenanigans and stuff that's why NASCAR TV or the samethe car it's in or something like that it's not the NASCAR thing and whatever anyway let's focus on the race get car 4672 going Jesus still there clear heart hell dude it's okay Grant it's okay I noticed you don't want to be passed on the straight, even when you make a fucking mistake holy hell outside stay low there's a car on the high side stay low there's a car on the high side car three has taken the lead stay low outside it's clear no there is car damage co you are losing on the car in front, the gap is 1.6 seconds, you are moving away from C, we have you 1 second, the leader just gained 41666, waiting until the group behind tries to pass those 15 or 16 cars you're pulling away from the the car behind Gap is 1.9 seconds away the one you're pinging is 2.9 seconds oh my car got tight you're pulling away from the car behind Gap it's 3.8 seconds away the leader is running 41 point 4 3 1 the one you are pulling away from the gap is 5 seconds, you cut it as far as the amount of fuel you are gaining on the current front the gap is 1.1 seconds, they are pulling away from the car behind the gap is 63 seconds , honestly I don't really see the point about going du mode it seems like these people are out, hold BL, keep BL out, it's clear, you have about two turns of fuel left, the car behind is holding on for space, there are 5, 8 seconds, the car inside is clean, inside.

I'm going to pit next. time mainly because I actually have to, but I have one lap of fuel left, you're losing on the car, you have a second, don't forget to do P on this lap to get more fuel, the leader just did a 41 pit box. 584 on 10 5 3 2 1 right here okay yeah okay move it move it the lead adjusts now slow the car down slow go high well that was close the lead is spitting out the lead is now being adjusted 11 has taken the lead, you are losing to the car in front the gap is 2.2 seconds the lead is now being adjusted yellow caution they want you in single file The road is closed at the moment 22 cars pass the car catches 2 cars of course it has to be in the pit cycle I think Justin may have gotten away. with this getting halfway here, woo, it's halfway over, yeah that means it's only 100 to go, I mean you know, it's getting closer to the end too, the main thing I'm having problems with falling.

The cars and stuff are the dirty air and the trail that comes out of the cars that one went to Green. Let's see until 13. Actually, the turns down we've lost a lot of people, so I hope we can. In fact, we'll have a green flag until the end because I mean, if we do that, then we should be able to make two, possibly three stops, and the only reason I'm hesitant to say three is because everyone might be. With that second stop, if everyone saves enough fuel, then you might be able to make it to the end.

If there are no more yellows, which I highly doubt, then yes, you can make it to the end. I guess you'll have to play nice though be ready to go in Grein yeah it's all a matter of thinking about when to pit now the car's off get ready oh green flag green flag you're in the top 10 the leader he's running 42.5 2 I was too busy talking strategy oh oh yeah the way man I'm not you I'm just not used to being in the wake of cars or whatever oh my god it gets so tight no harm done, coin, you're losing in the car in front of Gap here in 1 second I won't be like other idiots making whoops, maybe I've deflected it down and I'll throw up a sorry because I generally didn't mean to do that, no I hurt the coin.

I'm also very paranoid about hitting the wall. I guess he was turning slightly left or something because the leader is running. 41385 I don't think he understands that I'm not going to pass him, oh, that was too low. that was too low inside, of course inside. I was very lucky not to hit the wall just as the car behind was closing in on the gap in 1.8 seconds and the leader was up 41. 486 you are losing to the car in front, the gap is 1.1 second four jumps in front 41 93 two you are moving away from the height of the car the gap is 1.4 seconds car inside clear inside you are losing to the car in front the gap is 1.7 seconds you are pulling lightly towards C The gap is 4.6 seconds you are moving away from the car from behind The gap is 5.8 that you are losing to the car in front The gap is 2.8 seconds that you are losing to the car in front G 3 all You have the car behind holding on to you, the gap is 55 seconds, C closing the gap is 4.1 seconds, he is losing to the car in front, the gap is 3.9 seconds, he got about five laps of work, the lead is 41828, the current f pt, the car behind is closing in on the The gap is 2.9 seconds that you are losing to the car in front.

The gap is 4.7. I know, I know it's all part of the plan. Car one took the lead. There were two rounds of fuel left. The car behind is approaching you. The gap is 2. Seconds, do we really have enough fuel to make the lead tighten now? Hey, I'm going to take a chance, take a chance on a chocolate chip cookie, the car in front, we have about a lap of fuel left, you're losing in the car. at the front, the gap is 5.9 seconds, the lead is adequate now, don't forget to do P for more fuel, the front pit car, pit boxing 10 5 3, looks like you're out of gas, two right here, the advantage is right now, move it, move it.

I forgot to put myself in neutral, okay yeah, I lost a good amount of time there, but outside, clear up, the leader is running 42.092 climbed high, the leader is in the pits now the front of the car is in the pits, the front p you're winning to the car. in front the gap is 4.7 seconds you are moving away from the car behind you the gap is 7.9 seconds you are losing to the car in front the gap is 6.1 seconds because you are losing to the car in front the accelerator is of 8.2 seconds the car behind you is closing in on you the gap is 7 seconds the leader is running 41 point 4 4 six you are losing to the car in front the gap is 9.6 seconds the car's time is closing the gap is 6.2 seconds I don't even know if it is possible to refuel safely to the end, but I am going to test the CL Eng car in the gap is 5.7 seconds, the car in front ready, the car behind you approaching you, the gap is 4.6 seconds, okay, yes, that's the car behind that is approaching. you, the gap is 2.8 seconds, the leader has just climbed 41315 the car behind is approaching the gap is 2 seconds the car, closing the gap here 1.3 seconds the leader is approaching you, they are not on the par now I'm betting and there are no yellows for this because the leader is practically right behind us, car in, you are moving away from the car behind, we have this 1.3 seconds still there at the bottom, in, still in, clean, in , no damage, the 4154 leader you are moving away from. the car behind the Gap is 1.6 seconds.

I'm not really saving that much fuel actually at least I don't feel like I'm 1.4 seconds car inside clear inside inside stay high there car on the low side clear auto inside say hello still inside, sure, okay, you can still do that, okay, you're losing to the car in front, the gap is 2.4 seconds, the advantage is 41 points 2 5 I wonder if people are stopping in front whether it is necessary or what not, because I saw someone behind Me, who was in the lead , rolling on the front of the car, the gap is 5.2 seconds, so I wonder, even if it doesn't seem like it.

I wonder if my fuel economy is really helping. I'm just, I'm. having to take off from the straights that or I have to do it, you just reached your left end of fuel, you don't step on the accelerator as much, although I think I'm going to be able to do it with fuel, I'm just really going to do it. having to save fuel really Hub and really hit the gas for a good portion of those St. the lead is appropriate now you're losing to the car in front the gap is 5.7 take car four now you're leading and you're losing to the car in front the gap is 9.5 seconds oops you have two laps of fuel left the lead is tightening now inside clear inside inside stay high as the car on the low side clear inside the car in front is entering the pits the lead is 5398 you have approximately left one lap of fuel a we shot up a little much much earlier don't forget to pit stop on this lap to get more fuel C one is in the front pit box 10 5 3 2 1 right here oops, okay, we're done Get on march, the leader is approaching you, they are not our fight, the current front is entering the pits, of course, inside, the leader is running. 41 Point 3 2 4 everyone is going to have to go back into the pits.

I'm thinking we're just going to have to make sure it's okay, so whoops, I think we're going to have to run at this pace until the end of the race, but the car outside stays low, right, Stop, the car outside, Of course, Stop, the leader is approaching you, they are not ours. Okay, I'm going to do three laps here, I mean, even saving that much fuel, no, yeah, I don't even think it's going to really help, I'm just doing it because I'm already dedicated to the strategy and I just want to see if I can become the leader at 41.1, one car out, clear up, hell, did you do it like that?

I was leaving, I was leaving the height open for all of you. You, oh my God, outside, clean up, yes, the leader is already catching up with me. I mean, at least I have to get to the end or I don't have to pit until or I mean, actually I could and all that, but I don't want to. a I really want to go all the way, it doesn't even matter if I don't make up any spots now it's just um, what's it called? He's the leader he's running 41 Point 2 1 five cars in, clear the leader he's approaching you it's not five yellow caution flag they want you in single file Pit Road is closed right now catch up to one car catch up to seven cars it looks like you car is towed you'll need a tow back to pit lane hold down press the reset button and we'll come get you well that guy's an idiot cat 11 cat 16 cat well we're not exactly to the end but we can't fix the damage.

I'm afraid it's over, um, but Yeah, that was, uh, that was kind of because you know what I'm not going to lie, that was kind of like that was my thing, uh yeah, I started moving down, uh, where is that guy? Hey Miller, yeah, that was nice? from me, yeah, he was a little surprised, but yeah, yeah, uh, there's nothing he could do, uh, yeah, that's all my fault. Honestly, I wasn't seen by that person or else I would have stayed high because I was just R running my own Raz, he was trying to run my own Raz.

I did it. He had the approval. I did it. Good. He had the relative. I should have seen them green flag green flag Honestly I should have seen them uh oh my gosh. Well, probably yeah, who knows, we're probably going to lose some qualifying there, um, but what, what lap was it, 180 or 170, but now I'm like seven laps down, so that's technically. I say 16 to go so our final position should be somewhere oh wow there were actually mini laps behind me too so depending on who else is running okay so they're running so they're going to beat us pass, okay, yeah, so I think. we're only going to lose like one position in everything, so we're actually going to finish in 11th place, which isn't that bad all things considered, so yeah, I hope you guys understand, you guys haven't responded or anything, I'm back to me the yellow flag is out but anyway oh honestly it was a really fun race we weren't really going to finish too far ahead and yeah you know we're out.

It was all up to me and, I mean, it's a learning experience, because I mean it would have been better if we didn't try to save fuel and just try, you know, try to really think, think about when to do it. pits and all that, because we could have stayed on the lead lap if we hadn't started savingfuel and all that, but I mean, you know you learn, you learn and you know it's all for next year. I'm not really sure if there will be another race or something. I'll have to see if there's another race for tomorrow.

I mean, there are like 10 at any given time. Wait, Indie, Indie, Indie, where is the Indie

fixed

? yeah, so far, yeah, so far it looks like it's only the 10:00 race for tomorrow, which, um, uh, yeah, you know which one I'm not going to do because, uh, you know I was, uh, I was already planning to go to You know, give it a try and that's it. I mean, I could have done the race last night at 10 o'clock, but that was too late for me, so yeah, I guess better luck next year and better, you know. We have, you know, we have better knowledge and all that, but I guess I'm rambling at this point, but I mean, I guess we can call this some pseudo results, because, okay, yeah, because yeah. 11 now, um, but yeah, anyway, I'm exhausted anyway, if you enjoyed that video or if you enjoyed this video, like it and if you want to see more of this content, hit the subscribe button and, yeah, you I will see.
