are we running a practice tonight? I was racing my Camaro SS'10 last Thursday, April 21, 2016.

did you guys notice that the tire wear is far worse in a race than it is in just a practice room running laps?

We will be holding 3 races at 10 minutes a piece of the first 3 tracks. With time in between for slight tuning. I hope everyone comes out!

I have not noticed a difference. If your rendering to xrad room, it was setup wrong.
 
Well the Shelby was no piece of cake. Expecially having a hurt foot. Never the less she and I are ready.

I don't mind helping. Great example will be thorracing. I helped him with setup for his Camaro because we have known each other for a long time and he was struggling and asked for help. The tune that Warman Hine gave to me was a setup used long ago. We spent countless hours developing an perfecting it. Driving stylessons and comfort can change every aspect of a setup from suspension to gearing to even aero. So what works for me won't always work for someone else. I have been experiencing issues with the CTS-V. It took me almost 500-600 miles before I figured out what through issue was.

True he gave me a Base Line then we/I polished it.
 
Thanks for the test. I logged some good info. I do believe the RM has leveled things up a bit with the cars.
 
Sorry, I obviously lost my braking point going into the first corner at Motegi last night.

I will be working this week on the usual tuning, plus practice starts and making sure I am getting in and out of the pits cleanly and not accidentally hitting the button for "same tires -full fuel" when I go in the pits.

Here's Racingchamp coming out of La Source Hairpin at Spa last season.

lol yeah i know same with champ you just happened to hit me. It was only practice no biggie :)
 
Thats easy to do there as a few feet can make or break ya. Dont use the track as a reference because the lighting changes so much . Remember the old braking rule "eyes to the left".👍
 
Would someone be so helpful as to provide some Pro & ProAm lap times from last night - for the other tracks?

Very sorry I had to leave the session. Had to attend to a Committee Decision on Sunday Snail. AND get to bed asap for working at the High School today.

We only ran 1 race at redbull before I left also tex. with tweaking I'm sure other got faster. So any time I gave you would be inconsequential at best. But your pace was great right out of the box.
 
I regret to say this but, looks like I will be missing this season. Hopefully I will be able to make the next season. I'm having emergency knee/leg surgery tomorrow afternoon. So with a cast it will be extremely hard if not impossible to get in my rig.
 
I hate to hear that Vert. Spring time seems to bring injurys.

I wish you a speedy recovery bud!
Knee's take quite some time after surgery so don't even try to rush it or you'll be sorry! just let it heal.

Oh wow this is just on-line racing, how could you have done all that? :odd:
get well!

I wasn't even at home when it happened. I was at the gym doing incline leg presses and squats. Felt a pop doing squats and completely fell over in pain.
 
Oh man, the gym is a good place to do it. I busted my back doing incline bench. Took forever for my stiatic nerve to ease up.

Yeah. I'm waiting now. Surgery is at 130. Dr eta of recovery is 6-8wks minimum. But I have a couple things that will speed that along.
 
Last night I took the best car I've had in a long time into an open lobby, (STUPID) I through power on it and more, basically
messed it all up.
it took 2 hour this morning to put it back together and WHOA! It even better than before. :cheers:

got tire wear one off (front to rear) doing high 52's and now I'm in search of a 51. as well as longevity, aka fuel mileage. :scared:

and thats why you dont take your racing car out in open lobbies
get another one with the same set up or use A, B, or C.
