Naptown25rs Ambitious, but rubbish... Online Now!
Bummed I didn't make it in this week... I was running some solid 1:51's in practice but I fell apart during my qualifying attempt, pushing way too hard on the first lap causing me to eat the wall and take on damage. Good luck to everyone racing today and tomorrow!

I have no clue about these gears, I used outlaws gear setup and instantly I was nearly 1 second faster lol.
however I will not be able to use it in race setup as it will max out in draft down straight, so do I just extend the final gear to suit my liking e.g 176mph to 190? Or do I have to mess about with every gear lol
I would just like to bring this up again as I'm a little stuck with it... If someone would like to help lol

I'm not the best at tuning, but I would just tweak the final a gear a bit. As long as you're not having to make a drastic change to final gear, you should be ok. If you are making a big change to final gear, then it's back to tweaking 1 through 5...

Edit: CB750Kguy and Diabiolical_J have been bumped off the grid for the D2 race. If you would like to race in D1, please make sure you are in the room on time, and you will start from the rear of the field.
I'm about 95% sure I can't make today's race, but I appreciate the offer.

I don't want to put words in RT's mouth, but if he was willing to let CB750Kguy and I run in D1, I don't see why he wouldn't let you run in D1 if you can make it.

Wow, things ended up really tight in the middle-of-the-pack D1 qualifying. Really makes me regret my careless embarassing wall bumps at the end of my lap. No matter, it's a long race: even if I had qualified 5th, I probably would drop down to 9th or 10th anyway. The walls call to me, they know I can't avoid them for 35 laps.

NCemtB, ask RT to race in D1 this week.

Question: What is the ruling for pit stops within the first 5 laps because of damage?

If you are damaged, it's OK.

Quick question on the rules. When exiting the pits, do we have to keep our car inside the yellow dashed line on the pit exit? I know you can't jump out and block someone - I just want to know how strictly this rule is taken here.

RT,

If you have the room, I'd be happy to jump in and run around in the back, would be good practice at least... If not, I'll get back to watching the Bathurst 12 hours.

Stay to the right and make sure you are clear before you blend into the racing line. I always look behind me when exiting any pit road to make sure there's nobody coming, then slowly move over.

Yes, that would be the NASCAR Nationwide race at Daytona. The Nationwide series is supposed to be the main feeder series for NASCAR Sprint Cup but the cars are pretty much identical is specs. They have slightly less horsepower and the races are usually a shorter distance. Oddly enough, the Nationwide series races at more road course venues than the "premier" Sprint Cup series.


Hmmmm, who caused "the big one?"
