Oh and I was wondering what happened at the practice race, did you lose connection?

No, even worse. I had a brain fart, there's no fixing that. I thought the qualifying i was doing was for the actual race on Sunday. So after qualifying i left, thinking i was done, apparently i was not done just dumb. :dopey:

The race should be later on Sunday, as the Daytona 500 will be on.

You never know. Last year's Daytona 500 took some time to be completed.

Remember the Hole!!! issue??

By the way, anyone know's a good feed to watch the race??

You're right. This is a newly repaved Daytona too.

I'll push it back one hour then, and hope for the best. 👍

Also, get in the WSGTC irc room Kamy, come on!

Hey Wardez,

You can take my name off the signup list for this series. I just can't commit to the schedule right now.
It's too bad, as I was looking forward to racing with some of the Spec Miata alumni.
That series had some epic battles :gtpflag: hope this one has more of the same 👍
 
Hey Wardez, are you going to make any changes to the car regulations now that a new update is out? Or keep it the same all the way through the series?

Yeah thanks for asking, full details will be posted soon. First post updated.
 
Maybe now that we can adjust gears I can make this sh--box a little more drivable.

I'll have to mess around later today and see if I can make the first two gears less useless.
 
btw im also glad that we can adjust gears, my best lap was done with low gear ratio, but i also have to consider the draft on the straight

Changed the PP limit. It's 637 with fulldownforce. Should be the max.
 
Gonna start up a practice room on Fuji for those last-minute tweaks, and to figure out gear ratios and ballast. PP limit will be 637.

I'm not good with gear ratios, can anyone give me pointers or a setup i can use?

It's pretty easy actually. You want to be in the middle of the powerband during a turn. So if you find yourself upshifting too early in the middle of a turn, make the gear you're shifting up from longer. It's also useful if you find yourself hesitating to upshift right before a turn because you're hitting the redline for a while - you would make the gear you're in before that turn longer.
That's it.

You mainly want to keep all gears proportional. I'm still probably only tuning the final gear for all tracks anyway. Having 8 gears sort of negates the need for fine tuning gear ratios. It'll mostly be useful for cars that have 5 gears, maybe 6.
 
Thanks for the tip Wardez. Also, are you going to be adding me to your friends list or will I need to just find your room to qualify?

I'll be posting up the room here. But go ahead and add me still.
 
Eh. I plan to tune the first two gears to be usable beyond 30mph and adjust the rest accordingly. The idea being that I won't ever need to even use 7 or 8.
 
You can try it but you're just going to be slower off the line. You'll find yourself using lower gears in slower turns when it's better to be in a higher one for a faster exit. Your idea would work better by making 3 and 4 longer, not the first two.
 
Quali. room is up. It'll act as a practice free run room 'til the official quali. time starts. (Check the awesome countdown timer and brace for epic)
