I'll be on a little later, I'm running 28 flat, still some time to be had but its hard to see 3 seconds. Im running 0 abs all season.

I might be able to hit a very high 26 on a miracle lap. No way do i have the driving ability to reach the 25's.
 
I'd love to show up and try to break into 25s, but I'm away from my PS3 till Wednesday. Hopefull there's some practice then. Besides lounge settings 'race quality' settings for the room could matter potentially.

Do you mean visual settings, standard and so on? Or connection and all that NAT crap.

I mean "race quality" setting, that you set right before you create a public lounge, or that is stored in you private lounge settings menu. Changes between "Very low" to "very high". Some time ago I was quite sure that this setting significantly affected how loose cars felt online. Lately, with PD bringing online and offline physics closer together, I think the effects of that race quality setting are quite small, maybe even absent, but one can never be too sure with PD.

I agree about PD and sketch settings. I think we usually run standard. I do when in my lounge.

I did hit a high 26 last practice. I was up front alone. It was a miracle lap. And I had a drink.

Just about anything is possible with a drink. My best time is 27.2xx. I'm sure there is time for me to gain in the corkscrew (turns 5 & 6). But i'm not sure i can hit it and keep all 4 tires on the racing surface.
 
The differance between 211 and 213 was a full second for me today . I hit 213 at 170 miles .

What the heck do those numbers mean?

Sometimes I wish I could explain to people from work that I have a important race tonight and that I need to leave early, but they would ask where and I would have to say at home and they would with who and I would say RoadRash, Boshuter and a lot of people whos names are letters...I better just make something up lol.

Is that the weight change that extended your love making by a second? Or are those HP numbers? 👍
 
I don't feel so bad about my lap times now. My car is stuck at 208bhp but I thought I was over 170 miles. Maybe after tonight it will be broken in.

When is the last time you changed the oil?
 
We talking 25's at cape ring south or mazda?

Only one person is supposedly able to get near a 25 at cape ring. We were all in the 26-29 range the other night in my lounge.

In my opinion lap times mean nothing. It's not always the fastest lapper that wins the race. Concentrate on consistency and enjoying the race

I ran a 25 in a practice session off line.I have yet to race that track in a lounge.
 
Sign me up for #26 (it its available) and Matte Gray with black stripes.

STC Racing back in action!
 
Thanks dj, info updated. Decided on a wheel color or going standard?

Setting up now for the practice session. Be on shortly!
 
For some reason I've got a bad internet connection tonight. Never seen it this bad, something must be up. Don't want to risk any lag problems so I'm not going to join the lounge.
