Lets discuss, How’s your car handling? Do you like this track? Who do you think will win this event?

[Y22 DJH]

i think the porsches and vipers would have been strong here anyway
now with the pi increase i think they will be overly strong

[XTI Jon Snow]

they were over strong in the top tier spec. theyre about even now

[lfcnicklfc]

Ferrari's feeling good around here im confident on podiums not sure if victories are possible though

[WWR Chillz]

Just been spending a while tuning the Vette. Complete re-tune from the ground up. Much more consistent now and I can keep the rear in check. Maybe I have a chance now. Knocked .7 off my previous tune's best.
1:46.013

[WWR Chillz]

A few more tweaks and now I am into the 1:45's with a clean 1:45.944.
I am getting happier about the Vette now. What a difference a better tune makes.

[Guest]

No way, the porka still needs to be 680 PI in my opinion. Just no guts and handles or some guts and slides off everywhere. I have no idea how I managed that 1:46.4xx clean and I now can't get any where near it!! ;O(

[CQR Rogue]

Quick Question all, how is every 1 testing in hot lap mode or with full damage tyre and fuel on?

[WWR Chillz]

Magictap just ran a 1:46.0xx in the Porsche. We were testing together. Very even times between the two cars. Vette powers past down the straight, BUT the Porsche is on my bumper by the exit of turn 2! The Porsche is awesome on the brakes and through the twisty bits. I could not pass him because he was so good through the last 4 turns and I was too far back to reel him in down the straight, and he could not pass me, so qualifying is going to be very, very important, as whoever gets through lap 1 ahead, should win.
PS. The Porsche doesn't need more PI. It's an awesome car.

[Guest]

It still needs more PI. This track should be the Porsche's swan song ;O( If the Corvette can go quicker hot lapping and keep me behind during racing sims then what's going to happen at the faster tracks!! Bye Bye porka, its gonna be a dot in his rear view.

[ONR Baby Jet 3]

Dear me im miles off atm. I need to get my head down and put some serious time in to get the 458 at the top again.

[AMR JSlim]

My best is a 1:46.421, i ran 1 more lap after that but it was dirty.... still it ended on a 45.9. With some more practice tomorrow i hope to make that clean.

[Av8rTim]

Are you guys running fairly soft setups? Ave found a bit of vibration down the front straight and think it has to do with springs needing to be softer or softer damping... thoughts please!

[HCR generaltso]

the tracks just bumpy.

but yes, my springs are pretty soft.

[WWR Chillz]

It's going to be a good close race tonight I think.
See you all later!

[AMR JSlim]

Maybe...

Iv'e had 3 hours Sleep, and now iv'e got football. Looks like i'll be on a few cans of energy drink tonight.

[Guest]

re-tuned, 1:46's consistently, 1:46.0xx clean so far. Come on Gemballa guys ;O)

[LMR DarthMario]

[CQR Rogue]

Ok, cant get BMW in to 1.49's but shuld be fun 2 drive though lol.

Good luck 2 every 1 2night.

Roll on rounds 5&6 lol

[XTI Jon Snow]

I just getting into the 1:48.2s I NEED 47S!!!!

[woodwiss]

So me and biggs are in the same lobby as Chillz, who is now apparently into the 1'45s while we're still in the 1'47s.

Oh good

EDIT: Or just me then - with 2 of the damn Corvettes in my lobby AND a 458. Wondeful!

[ONR Baby Jet 3]

Finally into the 1.46s more prcatice today I should be aiming further down for the 45s

[AMR JSlim]

Any reason why iv'e been left out of the Live timing, i have submitted a race entry form at least twice now and still nothing... not even someone to tell me why.



Im gna be pissed with TORA if i dont get an invite tonight...

[Guest]

The BMW is horrid and not competitive around here, managed a 1:49.0xx so far so here it is. No promises it is any good but it's free. May help may not, good luck BMW drivers.

Happened to me, you actually have to ask AJ specifically why until there is any clarification. He won't proactively let you know.
