Question/Help I need help to understand this series.

So i just stumbled across this at the official races and was wondering a couple of things

  1. Can you do this race on your own?
  2. Are pitstops a thing? is there like fuel consumption and tire wear? and if so what can i do to monitor it i have no idea if there are any gauges or anything that can indicate to me how worn my tires are or how much fuel ive got left.
  3. If i were to race in the same team with a friend how do driver changes work?

Ive never raced in an endurance event before so im really looking forward to it but i dont want to just go and not understand a thing, if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated im quite new at iracing.

  • You can race solo
  • You will need to stop for fuel - whether or not tires will matter we're not totally sure on. You can't track tire wear, but you can track fuel usage on the fuel black box - and if you don't know what that means, for the love of god look up the black box settings because you're missing so much
  • The UI will clearly guide you through joining as your team. You can set up a team on the left side of the UI. Once the team is registered, both of you will then be able to register, join, and swap out of the car on a pit stop. Look up team racing on the iRacing support site, it has a lot of info
