Eric Nelson · Aug 2, 2011

ooooof I thought club racing was just easy and fun? these cars are brutal............

Saul Boucher · Aug 2, 2011

LOL!!

They are very tough with the new tire model. Seems that many people think something is a little off with it.

Either that or we would just plain suck at driving real race cars.. hehe

Ryan von Steinen · Aug 2, 2011

Hey Saul!
Thanks for the info guys, I hope to make it! Its been good getting away from rFactor!

I didn't know the last tire model that well but I take it that this one does not like tires that have been locked or excessive heat from a spin or such. Its sensitive

Tom Van Put · Aug 2, 2011

I 'm gonna try to make the race but can't promise it. If I make it I will be driving the Ford GT

Ramon van Rijn · Aug 2, 2011

Sorry guys, normally I would (almost) never drop out of a race, but the pain was just too much.

Ramon van Rijn · Aug 2, 2011

Signed myself out. Last night was too much pain while driving. I still need 1 or 2 extra weeks of rest. But of course the event(s) will still take place

Have fun tonight everyone!

Dennis Stammel · Aug 2, 2011

Acura please

Philip Stamm · Aug 2, 2011

Acura please

Extra reminder for all drivers... During qualify:

Ford gt's start with 10 mins qualify
after exactly 10 mins they are allowed to finish the current lap and drive back to pits
after 15 mins qualify the lmp's will be qualifying, ford gt's stays in the pits.

If your tires start to get very slippery take it easy on the next couple of turns... I really mean don't push them at all and after that the grip will come back. I have noticed that even though the outlap and lap following will be your fastest laps if you can manage to hang in there after 5-10 laps the tires will have more grip than they started out with...

Just as in the Sebring race yesterday. I was normally running 2:04's to 2:06's and out of nowhere on about 10 or so laps on the tires I started noticing a trend going on. My times were dropping but I didn't change my speeds or lines. Come lap 15 on the tires I shattered my PB by over a second.
