I've started last in my last four races. It's not fair.

Well done MobySPD you were 11th on the grid just ahead of me and you won. (I Think, Stella Artios may be affecting my memory).

By the way. Does anyone else run non staggered tyres like I do or is everybody doing one of these L1 S3 things?

Thank you,

But it ain't easy between other quality drivers 👍 But should be more 11th to 3rd race.
I'm using R2-S3 kombo. I have a R1-S1 tune, but the improvement of more speed along the straight flies away when you're over the place around the twisties.
About the starting position... I know, been there. But somehow i'm not that guy anymore that often that starts last.
The satisfaction however starting last and winning is ecstatic 👍

that was a nice one thanks moby old nail and calcifer 👍 im in for one more see ya in a minute
 
old nail what where you thinking there, can't believe it. a driver like you

Sorry Roomboter I can't actually remember what happened. If I did do something silly I apologise! Was there a possibility I was hit by someone else? I do seem to remember being hit and bouncing into another car in one race. I would not do something like that intentionally!

I remember

We where approach coca cola and your nose was next to my rear with me on the outside. We where at least 3 or 4 seconds ahead. And just before the rumble stripes begins I felt you pushing. The moment I thought why doesn’t he stop (cos you’re a clean driver so I expect you to) you’ve pushed me over the rumble stripes just when im on my brake point. I think you can fill in the rest from here.
:lol:

That’s what I call a Coulthard :lol:

but it's ok sh.... happend
 
Moby why did you slow right down on the straight??

Waiting for you and Calcifer. I had this tought it would not be fair to take advantage of a penalty one of you had

But no more laps for me. Some dude sends me PM's which I rather won't post here. Very offence and it seems he blames me for being unfair.
As is I didn't see some tricks coming from him I would be offtrack more then a few times 👎
Getting angrier by the minute so I better stop.
Had some really fine races tonight but that race and very rude PM's blew it all skyhigh 👎

What bend is Coca Cola? Is it the long right hander before the downhill sharp left? I didn't realise that I touched you there. So please accept my apologies.

Apart from that as you said in other posts we had some awesome races last night that I really enjoyed! Cheers!

That doesn't sound very nice. I don't think you're an unfair driver, I think you are clean and fast in my opinion!

Off course I accept your apologies, but I had a stranger feeling when you kept pushing me to the outside till the point I get off.(it’s not your style) But no worries mate. You’ve probably didn’t feel it otherwise you stopped pushing. It was an awesome fight like many others we’ve had last night. I will remember our fight for first place from last night for a long time. Thanks a lot mate 👍

BTW. What set up do you use. Cos I notice that your car accelerate very fast out of the corners and yours running faster on the straights.

Had a great battle also again with Oldnail1 👍 I also do chase bumper to bumper at times to keep up with the pace. If this gives a bumpung feel I would like to know also.

Would like to know his tune too. It sure is different compared too the one I use.

Thank you 👍

I sure try to be fast. The very fast racers who shared their tune to me getting 9.17,xxx total times. The best I ( racing you ) did was a 9.22,xxx.
So that's a kind of a big gap still.

Yes I couldn't feel it but I had had a few beers at the time so that may have had something to do with it!

I use R1's front and S2's rear which gives a bit more power. I set up the gearing for better acceleration (but I still always get rubbish starts!). I also have some toe out on the rear which supposedly helps with turn in. I was running with loads of negative camber too (4.8 degrees on front and rear!) which helped with turn in but created other problems like wheel spin and instability when turning and braking! I have since changed this to around 2.8 degrees front and 2.6 degrees rear. Lowering is set at about -26 front and -23 rear I think which also stops understeer by having the rear a bit higher than the front. I also set the weigh to absolute minimum possible. I can give exact details later if you want.

Yes I can do 9.22's too but do not know how others are doing 9.18's! Must be better set ups I suppose. I haven't found one that good yet!

Did notice the odd minor bump but nothing bad that affected the racing!
