Mine was:
Different units, I prefer km/h as being more precise.
I also see your 6th tops out at 148 mph = 237 km/h. Couldn't it go any faster? I think I was hitting 245-246 on the back straight in the race

Always welcome. I didnt get your issue, why that would be a problem for any of us. So, if you have time, just join for the races
On this track 2nd matters. I had to set it slightly higher than I would normally to avoid shifting to 3rd and back between T8-T9

I think I managed 149 mph (239kph) during the race and I was hitting the limiter just at the point I needed to start thinking about braking. I wasn't any quicker raising the 6th gear, so I was okay with that part of the gear setup.
Yep! That was a pain for me all race. I was revving out in second. Didn't have time to set up the gears properly pre race. Tried shifting into third but it didn't change the delta.
Hey Frank. Cannot imagine that being the case mate, my limited time on here and I just see a nice friendly bunch of guys and good admins. I am sure you are as welcome as anybody
Of course frank. You can come and go as you please too.
I think I gained 3-4 tenths after optimizing the gear set for the track. My initial set with more evenly spaced gears would run out of revs just before T7, T8 and T9
I’ve noticed the r8 is annoyingly sensitive to gearing. Small power band and if you’re out of it, doesn’t go. And if you get your rotation wrong in setup, rear burns up fast.
where I’m currently running we are doing 26c air and 33c track temps along with 200% fuel and tire and it’s really about finding a balance for race pace than trying to get hero lap in.
It kind of is, but nowhere near as bad as the old R8 was in that regard. And with all its quirks, it's still usually one of the top-3 cars on any given track. I haven't yet seen a track where it would suck big time after you set it up properly, but I think there're also no tracks where it would clearly be OP compared to the others, so there's that.
26C air means you run mediums almost everywhere (except Monza and RBR, where softs should also work just fine at this temp) and won't have lots of issues with fronts not heating enough. I'd say it's probably ideal temperature for the Audi.
And I never tune my setups for hero laps. I try to make them consistent enough for the entire race, taking into account balance change by the end of the stint due to rears wearing faster. I usually run a test race against AI to see if the setup works for the duration of it
Same here, increased 2nd. About 0.4 gain
Setup magic. It's real
On second thought though... you were in 488 which you can still rev past the optimal shift RPMs. In such cars, it's often OK to do that if it's just for 1-2 corners. I used to drive 488 before the Audi and I kind of miss this particular "feature"

It felt by eye like a was loosing 2 or 3 10ths a lap in the first left corner and then less momentum into the second another 10th.
You're absolutely right.Setup magic. It's real

Relax, friend. In my brief time with this group its obvious that the people here are kind and understanding. I dont see any judgmental folks, just people who love racing. As far as i can see, you didnt alienate yourself at all.
Besides, if you dont come back then i wont get the chance to beat you.
