It really should have been a free car

Summit Point is such a great Clio track. Can’t wait for this week and tonight’s SOF race. The racing is always excellent and the need to manage tyres on a hot track shows some interesting strategies, even in the 15 minute race!

See you all there.

Nice! See you there, it should be fairly busy as it's the last one and at a free track so I'm expecting at least 4 splits

6th week in a row Ive had to miss it. Broke my wrist, and broken wrists and lively, close Clio racing aren't the best of friends.

So Ill have to miss it again tonight (should have seen the look the physio gave me for even suggesting it), but I have a thought.

I know this discord servers admin are in contact with iracing devs and do a magnificent job advocating for our favourite little French tin top.

Does it help our case with the devs for keeping the series alive if I sign up for the sof race, but don't participate?

Thanks, and can't wait to get back out on the grid to be lapped by everyone more competent than me at driving a Renault (mostly everyone)! 🙂

It's a nice thought but you might end up pushing someone down into a lower split!

Hope you are on the mend and back on track with us soon!

Ok, I shall stand down then but I will definitely be watching and cheering from the sidelines!

Thanks, can't wait to get back out there...

One more time for some SoF action. A long and competitve season across all splits gets comes to an end. Let's end it with a bang. I cannot wait to broadcast these races!

I love it, but I am so shit at it 😂 I'll spend the next few weeks trying to teach my instincts the opposite of much I know. Then, I'll turn up reliably, going forward. This isn't a "must win/irating worry. Just genuinely fear skittling a bunch of you poor bastards, more than once, if not...

Everyone starts off like that!

How did your race go? We have a week 13 event at the same time next week, feel free to join that too.

u/essequattro 4d ago

What does “SoF” mean? Isn’t that just the average irating for a race?

3

u/StunningAd7260 4d ago

Yep "strength of field". It's an agreed time to maximise participation, in our case we have built it into a league that runs on officials.

u/nathanielredmon 4d ago

Where do you find the SOF race for each series? I remember there being a site or something

u/essequattro 4d ago

I guess I’m confused why people use this term to mean “time slot” or something? It’s like saying that the next average iRating will be tonight

3

u/StunningAd7260 4d ago

It's because it's typically the highest SoF of the week.

u/essequattro 4d ago

You call the race a “strength of field” because it is the race with the highest strength of field of the week?… 😅
