VELOCIPEDE Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Our iRacing GTE class is receiving a massive physics refresh in the new season! Next-Gen Slicks: A comprehensive overhaul of construction and compounds, featuring realistic tire deflection and improved feel at the limit of grip. Wet Tires: The GTE class is now fully rain-ready. Chassis Dynamics: We’ve added rub blocks to front splitters and axle centerlines, paired with softer tire spring rates and higher static ride heights. Updated BoP: Minor Balance of Performance adjustments have been made to account for these aerodynamic height and rake changes. We also took the entire class through our virtual testing facilities to dial in the base experience! - Engine Dyno: We optimized 1st–6th gear ratios to perfectly match each car’s torque curve. We recommend adjusting the Final Drive for your track’s top speed, then using +/- 1 step on individual gears to stay in the power band. - 5-Post Shaker Rig: We analyzed tire force and aero stability across a full frequency sweep. The resulting iRacing setups now feature a “sweet spot” damper range noted in the Garage, balancing platform control with maximum mechanical grip. Finally, we’ve redesigned the Garage to make trackside adjustments faster and more intuitive: - Simplified Height Adjusts: Ride height is now directly adjustable—no more wrestling with spring perches or torsion bars. The sim now auto-calculates these when you change spring rates. - Cleaner Layout: The Chassis page has been condensed to fit on one screen, with Dampers moved to their own tab and “Left/Right” adjustments linked to reduce clicking. - New Tooltips: We’ve added detailed guidance for shift RPMs, LED light conditions, and “sweet spot” ranges for damper tuning.
