I am sorry that I missed the race. I did not have enough time to reorganize my morning. I hope you had a good time...Bob

That BMW is a handful, I'm going to have to find out how to make it stop lighting up the rear tires to be competitive in this series'

Hey, at least I'm not the only one. The BMW is hard to control sometimes, especially during the braking. It's rear steps out often, which helps in tight bends (Madrid) but in most tracks this puts me at a disadvantage.

Man that is exactly what was going on too, especially at that last chicane before the start/finish straightaway.

jeez, I'd hate to see what happens when you wake up early enough to have breakfast and wake up a bit,

in the first race after the first lap I'm thinking yeah cool, just keep banging out these times look after the tires, your in good shape,
lap 3, where the hell did you come from???? 3.8 seconds gone in 2 laps???
lap 4, there is no way I can either, win this fight, or keep fighting and have tires last,
lap 8, restart, yay!

restart, wow is that merc running 800BHP, what a power skid! oh crap lag, lag, LAG! oh he disconnected, 'looks back' hmm I guess I will await instructions, presses on,
lap 1, turn 5, ahhh! braked to late, HANDBRAKE! crunch! go, go, GO!
lap 1, turn 10, are you serious???? 7 people cant hold ghs off for a lap??? better try and pull a gap,
lap 2, crash,
lap 3, crash,
lap 4-9 great battle with joe and rally,
lap 10-13, gap rally,
lap 14, rally responds,
lap 15, jeez rally, another lap you would have had me,

so from 2 races Audi ABT has had 4 podium finishes, nice,

Love that summary 👍 yeah I think so too about the extra lap. Wanna try?

 

[TDZdave]

nah, I'm good, that second summary would have been a little different had I known that we weren't going to restart for JT, I may have lasted until lap 3 in the lead
hopefully next time everything will run on time and everyone will show up, across the time of the room we had 10 runners turn up and ended up with 5 that's BS, I think you should emphasis the TAKING RESERVES in the title, plus we really need to sort that CLK, sort of, I think I could of held off JT at Madrid until pitstops, same at GVE, had I qualified, I think his set ups are aero dependant, as are mine, I had no grip in the front when following another car close, so I drove it sideways, I found it was best from turn 5 to turn 10 to hang with ghs, but it kills tires, for 4 laps it would have looked like the DTM drift championships in race 1

 

[joetruckv8]

You mean fun quick match with joe right TDZ, lol'

I took damage and after that bye bye pack. Update 2.08 tire
war is the bomb, but update 2.08 aero tweak is junk. I ran no front downforce and still no advantage down the straight. We're still playing the full downforce game. At-least that one less thing to tune for.

 

[TDZdave]

You mean fun quick match with joe right TDZ, lol

I honestly thought that you would have been on the podium after qualifying, I figured you must have been running aero as I seen you struggling to keep within .7 of a second behind me, you would close right up then get into that time zone and back off again, I had the same issue,

 

[joetruckv8]

Yeah finger cramping was a big issue at this track I could only follow you for 5 laps before I had to start lifting on accident due to numb fingers. I have numbness problems for races that start in the morning. That's why I usually try to find afternoon races. I couldn't believe I was actually running slower when I added the front downforce, but I get it tho the front end bites well but the rear end kicks like carzy, so when I added the front downforce the extra grab made the rear kick out even more. I will definitely be running a tighter spring in the rear for here on out. How many times will I be hard headed and not test out all the cars and pick the one I'm fastest in versus the one I think looks good.

I was hoping more people would turn up, with Madrid you have to be confident, look at the difference between ghs and JT, JT won the first event by 8 seconds, had I qualified I would have give him a worry or 2, I passed 4 cars between my grid spot and the pit wall ending, then the next 2 spun out, had I qualified I could have started up the front and maybe led into turn one, and held him off but we will never know,

bankfin 2 thread is up, the link is on bankfin S1 thread, check it out mate,

 

[joetruckv8]

Good looking TDZ I have some ideas for those guys ill definitely be running season 2 once we get matching downforce cars. The Subaru TC is a good swap out for the Super Touring Subaru chassis, but I want to let em know about swapping the Evo Rm for the HKS C230 with matching downforce. See you there!

 

[ghskilla]

The opening laps were a nightmare.

Started with a lagspike slamming my car, giving me full damage on all parts of my car. Then when the damage was gone I looked set until you spun in the middle of the road, causing me to hit you, and me to fall back to third. Then after a few more bumps and nudges, I come behind you (TDZ) and RM in turn 1, where you spun and put me in the wall. After that, Spaz was close to catching up to me, but RM let us past and at that point I had clean air so I gunned it.

I just hope we can have more turnouts, yeah.

that second race was just weird, it was like my entire set up went out the window, I was like wtf??? I had to brake earlier, turn softer and later, then lap 6 it came back to me,

sorry about the turn 1 incident, I wasn't aware you were on the outside, RM was on the inside of me if I remember right, I didn't save the replay,

I could only go just as fast as you. I list tome because, 1, I had to battle some one before getting a good gap between me and 3rd. And then I knew I couldn't catch you unless some thing happened to you but I didn't think anything woulds my concentration broke and I wasn't being consistent. I wish I could have got close to you earlier because I usually do better when chasing. You'll notice how most of the time I can pass easily but keeping it, I suck at

 

[TheYaShoe]

Can I still join?

 

[TDZdave]

Can I still join?

as a reserve mate, we are still unsure who's in and who's out,

Looking at the replay, you had much better rears than me. Had there been more laps, you would eventually catch up. That BMW loves to slide around corners.

 

[joetruckv8]

I'm tighting that bmw's rear spring, I need all that kicking out mess to stop!

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Lessen rear toe, add rear downforce, subtract front downforce (á la 2.08) and soften rear springs. Just a nudge, nudge, though.

 

[Spazmaticality]

Yea you don't want to stiffen the spring if it's kicking out

 

[rallymorten]

Yea you don't want to stiffen the spring if it's kicking out

That might be the part I've done wrong too.. Gotta get checking

 

[Spazmaticality]

Thats what Ive been doing to tighten it up and sometimes put the rear compression down 1

I saw everyone sliding with those. They were fast down the straights tho
