    Software documentation is an ongoing project, and is used as a tool to help the development itself, and not only the maintenance afterwards.

    I agree with you, writing documentation is not something you do in one evening.

    If ISI worked following widely used development standards, then it is an ongoing task since 2012, that only needs to be kept up to date by S397.

    Cheers.

    I'm very happy about how S397 was able to put up a rock solid structure to host this event. Consistent, reliable, stable, CTD free racing is the base upon which almost everything could be done.

    3 Flying Dutchmen, 2 Brits & a Finn. Seems to be a lot of talent on the Eastern side of the Atlantic, mayhaps there is a bigger pool of simracers in Europe/Scandinavia I suppose.

    The 6 drivers were split into 2 teams, each with 3 drivers. Another 10 or so teams, among them McLaren management, are taking part to keep the track from appearing totally empty and to provide a racing performance check. This 24 hr race is mostly about gauging teamwork, ability to work when tired, and not making mistakes under long term duress. With a total of 8 hrs racing for each WFG driver, they probably also want someone who can race at a consistent level, to not sag in performance, compared to their pros.

    I agree, having been fortunate enough to take part in one of the guest teams I have to admit that racing without the time progression and the challenge of night racing did detract from the experience somewhat.

    I really hope that S397 can produce a quality Le Man's for next year's event so we can use a decent sim ;)

    This is very confusing to watch car number and windscreen number not matching , multiple cars with the same number 24 hours without night a bit of a joke really. Like the Forza 6 Bathurst challenge X box did where only one of the finalist had ever used a wheel with pedals to play race.

    Which one will McLaren pick to be their F1 simulator driver? Well, they haven't decided yet.

    The windscreen number displays the position of the car in the standings (at the cross of the start/finish line). The car number is, well, just the car number.

    I must say the information shown in the broadcast was somewhat limited. I would have liked to see the gaps between the WFG teams and some more clarity about who was in the car, what car the camera was pointed at, ...
    Then again, the team was not really used to broadcasting iracing and I believe the choice to use iracing was made in a relatively late stage.
