I like the times we're getting on Daytona 1:38's on mediums. :)

Fresh, very nice job on the front page. Nice layout of the standings. 👍

That Viper is a beast. :dopey:

It handles the best IMO. The Panoz is stout on the high banks.

Thanks, I tried to add some color to it with the colors of the cars representing the drivers using them. And figured doing some bold and italicized font would help bring out the fast laps and other little victories in the races.

I like the clarity of the points system. Now if I could just win a race....:)
 
If you guys know anyone who is pretty fast and clean and would like to join, please let me know, or let them know about this series.

Will do. More cars on the grid generally never hurts.
 
Yeah, I really want some more guys to join. I know there are some fast guys out there that would be interested. Scheduling may be why they aren't here already.
 
Here's a few of my favorite pictures I took. I'll add a little caption on the top of each picture.

Nice pictures! 👍
Looks like you guys had a good battle for the win.
 
The very first time I went off the track into the kitty litter, the room did a slight glitch and I had no steering. Throughout the race I had simular problems. Can't say that it was all the rooms fault. Laguna and I don't get along too well to begin with and alot of the problems I had in the race was my driving and the track. Daytona is going to be a different story. :)

Nice recap of the race fresh. :)
Thanks for not showing all the problems Laguna gave me. lol
 
Nice pictures. I had a few jumps going through the cork screw. I am glad you captured one of them that well.
 
Glad you all liked the pictures. I'll make sure the thread stays littered with them from each round. I have a good feeling that Daytona will be a much closer race, and guys who struggled a bit at Laguna will be stronger here. I suggest running full downforce up front, and -3 to -5 points off of full downforce in the rear. You'll need it for the hard braking going into turn 1 from over 190mph.

Better watch the power oversteer in the infield as well. Gotta keep the rear toe really high.
 
I run rear toe angle around .05 - .10 and front toe -.05. I add a little camber to around 1.7 to the rear and 1.5 for the front so the tires don't go away too fast.

Either way works. There is more than one way to skin a cat :lol:
 
I'm throwing understeer into the Pagani to get better tire wear out of it, get the fronts to wear out first and I might be able to match the Vette and Panoz on strategy, and with ballast I hope I will be close to their pace, we'll see on race day :)
 
The Pagani has a good top speed. Try rear toe angle at +.15 and front at .00, that may help out. I usually try to use the LSD for help with MR's. 12/25/10 might help?

I'm hitting 190 with the rear downforce at max and min so I am able to play around with the downforce a lot

I have the LSD at 5/60/5, that deceleration can cause some deadly oversteer especially at Daytona through turn 1 and going into turn 5 and accelerating out of the International Horseshoe and turn 6 onto the banking generate a lot of oversteer under acceleration, so I wanted to go as close to full lock as I could on the diff

I will try out those toe angles, thanks for the suggestions 👍

Usually i run my toe at -0.05/-0.27 and my Camber at 2.3/2.0. That seems to be the sweet spot for me.
 
The Reason I prolly can't keep up is because of the pedal issue with my wheel. It only goes up to 95% throttle and on this track it makes all the difference. I'm only hitting 181 at start/finish.
 
I might grant you a waiver of 20hp if that's really the case. I'll be testing today and tomorrow so if you show me the problem, I'll grant you those extra horses.

SANDBAGGER :lol: :dopey:
 
20hp won't give him the win, but it should be enough to keep him on pace on the straights.
