RaceDepartment Indy 500 2012 (RDINDY'12) | Intro & Info

Introduction

Welcome to the the second running of the RaceDepartment Indy 500 in iRacing. Last season saw a huge turn-out of drivers that gathered to pick up the virtual bottle of milk. Lots of crashes painted the picture of the first half of the race; close fighting dominated the second half. This year we're looking to go bigger and better than last year, so go get that FREE RaceDepartment Licensed Membership and sign-up for this annual high-speed thrill!

that is sh.... makes it a kind of roulette, for some it will mean 7 mins won, for some it will mean 10 secs won. let's not do it in round 2-5.

Trevor Forshaw · Jul 9, 2012

Took fast tow came out with steering at 180 degrees out

Linus Broström · Jul 16, 2012

last race was fun, even though i left the lead-lap far to early. i like Iowa much better so i'm hoping to be in the top 5 when we get to the checkred flag on Saturday. i know i have the skill to do it, just need that little bit of luck aswell

is anyone doing any hosted sessions through the week ??

Eckhart von Glan · Jul 16, 2012

will skip this one, as Iowa is not on my list of tracks, enjoy the show, guys!

Rob Cuss · Jul 18, 2012

Trevor Forshaw · Jul 19, 2012

Good luck in that Rob

Eckhart von Glan · Jul 19, 2012

Rob Cuss · Jul 19, 2012

Mark Hewitt · Jul 21, 2012

Well done Yoeri on the fine win. Also the rest of you guys - you completely blew me away!

Yoeri Gijsen · Jul 21, 2012

Yes. Good racing. Very few cautions and clean driving as far as I could tell.

I'll be posting the results and all in a minute.

Kevin Endermann · Jul 21, 2012

Sorry to Gerald, Mark and Marc which got collected in the crash I triggered. I got up slightly, made the move with the guy who was on the inside up. Sadly I just wasn't the last 2-3 cm clear of Gerald.

The race before the crash was great fun with racing Mark

Pity you were out so early.

I think you should try and stick around a little longer. A lot of guys got their laps back and were in for the money. "Keep marching over dead bodies" they say.

Marcus Hagman · Jul 21, 2012

Great race and nice win Youri.
At least i got fastest practicelap

Quali= made a small misstake and finished 2:nd in quali after Philip.
Race= Got a good start but slided out after a few laps and rejoined a bit uncontrolled

sorry again for that) last place .
Worked my way up again and with about 10 laps left there was a caution with the 2 outstanding leaders pitting and i was back on lead lap and 3:rd

good finisch after all

with 2 Johansson´s on podium
