Once you get to learn it the car is very fun and very fast the gearing is what you really have to work , lots of shifting .

Havent looked at any replays since the start of the season but i wonder how everyone sets their gearboxes

Yours was too short from my reply, only just getting into 8th so think you lost a little bit of speed compared to others.

Well considering JB Won them both by a decent margin I reckon they were pretty much spot on!

Short gearing RedBull style ;)
 
Sorry I meant gearing was too long.:dunce: so you lost a bit of speed but your traction seemed better so longer gears might help with putting more power/torque down

Umm hard to say as I havent watched your laps, but the last few corners are very tricky and you can lose and gain a lot of time there. 👍
 
Yeah once you nail those last corners you can shave 3 seconds off easy, best I've done is 1.06.3 :sly: I'm gettin into the racing flow now, should be another great race as always!
 
Glad you are enjoying it Rab.:) Nurb was good fun, battling through field hoping Rome can be just as successful.👍
 
Yeah defo andy :) best battle was with Gazer if you watched the replay back, it was like something from the old F1 days. Rome will be a serious battlefield, that last sector from the S curve to the finish is gona make or break the race.

No doubt it'll be great fun as we all race with some common sence, apart from myself who just guns it and frys tyres trying to stay ahead :sly: funny none the less
 
Yeah I did watch it, was rather impressive I must say, very fair but extremely close battling and some good overtakes too.👍

Rome is more difficult to pass but I reckon lots of moves will be done on pit straight and into turn 1 (or turn 5), just have to get last corner's right which is hard.:crazy:

Yeah i enjoyed that battle mate, if it wasn't for the car been so unbalanced would of been ace look forward to Rome which could be very close i reckon.
 
Done some testing and could just manage 1:06.6 but I can't shove ive this understeer, running some wild setups and has little effect on the car.:grumpy: No idea where JB is finding that time of 1:06.1....

Well i managed that once and it was practically a 2. 1.06.189 iirc. Laps are more likely around your mark especially in the races any quicker is mixing it with brick work.:scared:

Haha thanks andy, Gazer put up one hell of a fight, again awesome racing Gazer 👍

Yes Rome will be a challenge but fun all the same, managed to get the setup quite good and now running low 1.06's consistant :D I'm happy about tomorrows race, should be a crazy battle between us all 👍

Looking forward to the race ;)

Your pace is looking better each week, suddenly the pink machines have been caught up! I reckon you, gazer, JB and Skengdigi all fighting for pole. Im in mid 1:06 but cant get anymore from it. Gonna be close!

Working fine for me.:indiff: offline bit quicker and handling feels different too, not sure how big a difference the two is in true.
Sure you'll be fine.👍
