For Daytona, stock tune = horrible racing. You can't draft more than 3 cars, you can't pass, you can't push.

Will that only apply to Daytona (the control tune)? Lock stock otherwise or will there always be a control tune of some sort?

Daytona only. Our intent for all other rounds is to share a tune that is completely stock, to eliminate the chance of cheating.

If that plan changes we will announce it.

So, how are lap times looking at Sonoma? Fastest I've done so far is a 1:34.197. I have a feeling that's on the slow end of the spectrum, but then again I've been preparing for an oval race for the past month scratch

Yeah....Don't get me started.

I've done maybe 3 laps and did a 1:33.5xx. There's still a bunch more time in it.

Managed to get down to a 1:33.643. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to pull off something faster than that.

Ran a 31.8 after the VI race last night, i imagine getting down to a low 31 with a stronger hairpin exit.

Running a few laps, I got a 1:34.338 at Sonoma Full. Yeah...I guess I'm going to be practicing all day Saturday XD

1:34.0

by **SFM Darkzer** Sat 9 Mar 2019 - 1:38

32.2, mistakes still being made.

A lobby will be sweaty.

Got it down to 1:33.183. Probably could get it down into the high 1:32's.

Also, while I see a lot of people running 1:32's, they're using TCS/STM. Last time I checked, that will not be permitted come race time, no?
