Sorry I've been gone guys. This will be my second league that I'm running in, and in the other one, I'm trying to compete with some of the fastest guys I've ever met in my life, so testing for it has taken up all my free time.

Rain definitely demotivates people, I guess. Me first :indiff:

If you check the replay, you'll see that I start to brake and then all was suddenly off. For odd reason, I had no response from my pedals and wheel for a few seconds. Just after that, I had a phone call. Then I tried to make the race but I was fighting with my car every turns to keep it on track. I confess I run in series just to have fun with other drivers, not to fight with my car to keep it on track. So I finally decided to park in the pits.

Not ideal m8. :( Lets hope we get lucky with the weather for the season as i'm not a huge fan of wet driving.
 
My honda is only good in the wet too slow in the dry

I don't think full preseason results will be posted.

I think that when we get Zahara, we should do a long-distance practise session, possibly in preparation for the Nordschleife. Maybe a round at Zahara could be on the calendar?

You can always run there yourself. We'll have to see how the track really goes like in order to consider it.
 
Can you please remove me:( I won't have enough time this year but maybe next season!

It won't be added to the calendar for this season. I can't comment if it will be in future seasons either without driving it.

Save that pro slot! I have a buddy who wants to run, but he will make pro.

Yo litchi...are you use sc430?i use that car...maybe because max hp and max torque came out nearly at same rpm. Good for dry...but not too good for wet...

That's it. I'm not even sure that the cars are equal on wet. I know they all have been tested on dry...

i.e: In this series, I was faster than a friend by a second on dry at Motegi. On wet, he was 2 secs faster then me. I was with the DS3 so I wasn't learning to drive like I do these days. To sum up I'am very doubtful about the cars specs on wet.

There is no way to get the cars specd for wet i.e my honda is very good in the wet but underpowered in the dry so im hoping for much more wet races :)

Indeed, in the wet, setup is everything and in theory the HSV and the SC430 should be better in the wet as they have superior aero. :)

I'll be honest here it was easier to drive than my ford gt...felt really stable compared to the ford.

I don't doubt there are 2.03-2.04's in that car with a bit more running..i only did 5 laps.

Start with max ride height, minimum diff and max aero then drive round in the middle of the track and work from there.

Have a much longer gearbox than you need and minimise the wheelspin. 👍
