I just wanted to give a shout out today to @CdnSweetTee Happy Birthday Babe 🎂

I've tried roll bar, camber, toe, differential - i thoight the rear toe did the trick but it appears it has not. My tune is the creation of a Moron (me) so thats why I am certain its a combination of my choosingn..... Just cant find a way to tune out of it.

GIVEN I am the only one on RM and concessions having this issue I can only Conclude its the error of and idiot -

I will keep trying to figure it out - I don't give up easily but may conceed and get my lost PP points back lmao - it aint lookin good -

Alright, now that we are an event in and all drivers have TT'd at some point, here is the raw data for full transparency. The goal was to bring all drivers inside of 0.7 sec of each other in average pace. Optimal lap and fast lap is recorded for reference on overall lap potential. To figure out the average lap time, I take the optimal lap twice, fast lap twice, and any laps inside of 1 second of the fast lap. Total everything up and divide by the number of laps counted. Once the values are recorded, adjustements were made, and then TT's to verify the changes were ran. As you will see the numbers line up very closely.
The first photo is of the TT results. You will see the intial TT times at 669.00pp, and then adjustments. And then we added the 10pp for the series standard, and re-ran the TT for verifications of times vs regualtions with updated times noted to the right and final adjustments as needed. The target avg time range was 150.3 to 150.9. Anything faster got handicaped accordingly and anything slower got concessions accordingly using the reference sheet. Final PP regulations for the start of the season is shown to the far right.

Alot of time goes into these analysis to get us as close as possible....and as everyone can see, there are still anomalies that we cannot account for. But, this is about the best we can do to facilitate such close racing

Ok - Not sure but it appears I have been driving with REVERSE TOE -
Click to expand...
What do you mean by reverse toe? Typically for stability, you want to run some toe in on the rear (front of tires pointing inward, looking down from top of car). Too much and it will create excess tire wear, but will keep the car very stable. Too little, an dthe car get losse and twitchy on turn in or on throttle exiting. Ideally, for minimal wear, you want to be as close or near to zero as you can, but that makes the car very nervous. I usually hover in the toe in range of 0.15-0.20 in the rear. For the front, I like zero to 0.10 toe out.

The other part is differential settings. If keeping you settings higher (above 10), the diff maintains more lock which can create tire scrubbing around corners. When lowering this to around 10 or below, you release some of the locking pressure on the diff allowing the two wheels/tires to rotate at varying speeds in corners, but locks up as you release the steering wheel or accelerating onto a straight.
 
Not at the PS / a very kind soul sent me his tune sheet for a comparison. While comparing i noticed my toe in / out was reverse of his.

I did a quick test od 5 laps and the car smoothed out and tire temps for 5 laps remained less then 185 deg as compared to the 195-200 deg that was happening.

Its not til.laps 7-10 that the tires hit over 200 so will need to test more tonight

I will figure it out tonight for sure but I think I was running toe reverse of what it needed to be.

I blame my idiot tuner myself 😂

I’ve been a part of a few of your series’ @llNovall and I have to say that I for one, am always amazed at how you manage to keep the field so close, and allow for competitive racing across the board, with so many different skill levels all having a chance to claim victory. Huge Thanks to you for all your hard work and giving us all the chance to take part in this great sim racing experience!
The members are also what make these series’ work as well as they do and this group has always been the most helpful and always willing to help the next guy/gal improve on their skills to tighten the field up even more.
Probably the biggest thing I’ve personally gained from being a part of this group is improved performance and more importantly, improved racecraft!

Thank you sir for the support and kind words. These series were built on the premise of SNAIL's equalized driver pace being segregated into divisions for close spec racing, but then finding a way to take all those varying skill levels and merging them into one highly competitive grid. Alot of trial and error over the last few years finally yielded a formula that works as good as I could hope for. What makes all of the effort worth it, is the dedicated driver support and commitment to these series from all of you along with some of the most intense and close racing I have experienced. As mentioned in previous posts, this type of racing intensity of long multi-car battles is typically reserved for the real world racing or for the aliens that compete at the higher levels of sim racing. This was where I felt there was a void....us mortals at varying skill levels have a few battles with a car or two over a lap or two and then its a solo run for most of the race. SNAIL has always done a great job of offering close and competitive racing in spec form with long battles, and I wanted to expand on that with our Friday Night Racing based on popular racing car series. In my opinion, I think SNAIL's Sunday Spec Racing and our Friday Night Racing series' have nailed it on giving everyone who races in this community that upper level racing experience which sets us apart.

My entry for the livery comp. I love doing the replica liveries but I am also working on an original livery which I hope to have completed prior to the deadline.
Anyway here’s my version of Grello. The standard decals didn’t fit this Cayman very well, but I think I made it work

Great practice last night, Thanks @Yugofan for hosting again. Some very fast times and tight racing. There were some great side-by-side battles and I was lucky enough to be a part of a couple. You have to have a lot of trust in the other driver in these situations, but being able to feel comfortable with certain drivers in these situations makes the experience “next-level”. Thanks guys/gal! 😎
I’ll definitely be hitting up the warmup lobbies on race night though, I’m not good going in cold! that first practice race last night felt like I was on ice, but found my pace towards the last couple.
The field is really tightening up in the practice lobbies as of late, so I’m anticipating the same come race night. Can’t wait!
 
Event #2 Schedule Change Proposition ​

To all drivers, I was certain this Friday would not have any interference for scheduling, and for all intents and purposes, I can still make it happen.

However, my older daughter is having her 13th Birthday Party Saturday and my wife's parents and our nephews will be in town Friday late afternoon/evening. I am prepared to go Mr Anti-Social for two hours if needed, but I am inquiring to see if everyone confirmed for Friday night could run tomorrow night instead, Thursday, 9pm est. The Pre-qualifying room would be at 8:30pm est.

THIS IS NOT A SCHEDULE CHANGE AT THE MOMENT, ONLY AN INQUIRY.

The only way we will run tomorrow night is uf every driver confirmed can swing tomorrow night, or if a driver(s) knows they cannot race either night.

Please reply:
Confirmed for Thursday.

Again, a seperate formal announcement of the change will be posted if everyone is able. Otherwise, we will default back to Friday.

Deadline to confirm is 5pm est, Thursday (today). (Was extended from 11am)

Please monitor the thread for final confirmation on whether we will be racing tonight.

If everyone is able to change and the race night is moved to tonight, the original order of confirmations will be used for grid priority.

I’m available too race Thursday, but I’m out of top 12 in points right so I need too qualify,
Friday getting apartment sprayed for pest so good chance not available Friday too race.
 
It may involve a divorce lawyer but I could possible make it work - was thinking of replacing this old lady with a younger version any way....... Can update after I talk to the bossy old lady
 
I most likely won't be home in time for Thursday night. Expecting to be back around 9 PM, but not for certain. Given that I have to qualify, and my times are slowest of the bunch usually, I wouldn't make plans based on my schedule. Put me down for a maybe.
