We had more than ten start the first two races but I dont think more than 9 ever finished. We had 10-12 on Tuesday night consistently
 
mchid81, you set your tranny to 168 mph? did you adjust each gear ratio too? would you mind sharing?

i did some more running later and best i could was a 14.6.

Great Practice session! I had a great time and can't wait for both series to start. :)

My best qualifying time tonight was a 1:11.523. I am using the tune that madmike1986 created here Suzuki Cappuccino RM Tune with a few tweaks. The only changes I have are setting the rear Toe to +.15 (thanks to Booch16), and transmission set to 168mph (thanks to IforceV8). I am using a driving force gt with MT. The car is at 137hp after break in. I hope this helps. 👍

Here's the complete gearset.

1. 2.957
2. 1.802
3. 1.280
4. 0.992
5. 0.786

F. 5.125
top 168

I shift at 8k and top out at 125 mph. If you check the HP/Torque graph the HP drops off sharply after 7400.
 
iforcev8, thanks for the ratio. i'll give a spin. been shifting at the redline, but i doubt that's not why i cant crack 1.15.

now i just need a setting to be a faster driver. is that in the menu?
 
I followed madmike's tune exactly and was only able to hit 112 at the end of the straight. I've been running with next to zero downforce because that's what I thought was slowing me down.

I will try again later with the new ratios. Hopefully I'll be able to at least get into the 1:13's. :)
 
Using the transmission speed setting of 168mph that IforceV8 suggested made a big difference in my lap times. I was running 130mph before and averaging 1:13's. Now with 168mph I'm in the 1:11's. Like IforceV8 said you need to shift at 8000 rpm which helps me lug it around fast corners and keep the rear end planted. 👍

I'm thinking with the success of last nights practice session we should have a weekly Thursday night practice. Each week would be the next track on the schedule and would have 10 lap races like last nights session. What do you guys think?

I agree! I have had a blast racing with you guys this week in the practice sessions. I've added the Thursday night practice session's with schedule to the original post. :)
 
Awesome!

With the new gear ratios I am getting in the 1: 11's consistently, with my best time being 1: 11.074. :)

Edit: 1:10.958 now.

No one else showed up to the room so I just ended up driving by myself for a while. Managed to knock my best time down to a 1:10.138. :D

You have to set up the top speed first.
 
Pretty good gear setup if by iforce. Thanks for sharing :)
I practiced a bit with it and got a 1:10.015. Breaking the 1:10 barrier is def possible, will try it later.

I think I need to practice some more before the race! I tried the setup by IforceV8 halfway through the practice session Thursday and it made a huge difference. I haven't tried the setup with practice laps really so I'm looking forward to improving my times. :)
