Hit me with as much data as you collect. More laps I get, the more accurate your pace is reflected. Nice pic.👍

West coast here also. Won’t be off work in time.
@llNovall, check your PSN, I sent you my new TT for this group. Can't remember what old version was like, but the new 1.13 seems like driving is more controllable. Had to try hard to spin out.
P.S. I am building a fence this week and setting some posts so I had a few bags of sand still in the trunk, LOL.

10 lessons all competitive racers wish they knew earlier
Racing can age a person quickly. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but the learning curve at nearly every level is so steep that if you stick with it, you will become a better, smarter and safer driver.

There are 32 cars-ish. Cars that are duplicates, but different trims...ie: The Supra or Mercedes- once 2 of that model is selected, regardless of trim..RZ, Gr4, etc...all are taken off the table for additional use. As for track days, I will have the event details and schedule up this week for our upcoming openi g race event on Friday, 5/20. Feel free to organize some practice outings.

Just passed 1800km on this thing doing some testing at Suzuka. Was chasing a weird feeling front end and couldn't figure it out. Tried a few more setups but everything felt worse than what I already had. In one of the replays I was walking around the car when it was mid corner and noticed that the loaded front tire was crammed into the fender. So I raised the height 10-15mm. Let me tell you, just a simple ride height adjustment makes a world of difference with the handling. All fixed now and the car feels great.
Also added more to the livery because I can never seem to leave things alone. Added some yellow accents, put the IMSA tech inspection sticker on the banner, added arrows pointing to the door handles since the real Pilot Cup cars seem to have them. And added a few more sponsors.

Final BoP/ power to weight
Time Trial
With our first official event of this series set for Friday, May 20th, I would ask every driver to run 1 final time trial. Thank you all for your patience and efforts taken to time trial and participate in testing.Time Trial
Drivers who have run a time trial or participated in test events have been issued new BoP regulations. Please take this final time trial in an online lobby using the very specific settings shown below. All drivers who have yet to submit a formal time trial result are asked to run the time trial at the base 6.6 power to weight ratio. See the detailed instructions below:
Drivers whomhave not submitted any time trial or participated in testing, please tune your car to whatever extent you chose for the time trial as long as the following regulations are met:
Weight Range: 2706lbs(1230kg)-3300lbs(1500kg)
HP Range:
410hp to 500hp
Starting Power-Weight Ratio:
6.6 lbs/hp (3.0 kg/hp)
Must be on or as close to the p/w ratio requirements or above.
Drivers who have submitted a time trial, please reference the chart below and set you car to these specs
1.) Tune your car or chose not to tune, just be sure to time trial the way you plan to race the car.
2.) Run the time trial until you cannot achieve anymore time (Run at least 12-15 laps)
5.) PSN message me: II-NOVA-II (capital i's), your time trial results in the form of a screen shot or picture as shown below, displaying lap history, sector bests, and fast lap:
Drivers will be asked to send a screenshot of their tuning screen verifying the weight and power used for the time trial meet the regulated p/w ratio requirements.
As results are received, an average pace of field will be finalized across the field. Fast lap, optimal lap, and clean laps from the lap history (any lap slower than 1.5 second of posted fast lap). Anyone faster will recieve a handicap to their P/w ratio to bring them into the pace of field, anyone slower will recieve a concession to their p/w ratio. I'd ask that all drivers try to apply their best effort to get the most out of their car in an effort to achieve an honest parity across the field going into the first race of the season. There will be variables outside of our control, but we can get as close as possible. From there the success ballasting will take over throughout the season.
Below are the Time Trial location and details:
Be sure to open and run this final time trial in an online lobby, using the specific settings shown in the tab below:
Only ABS and Traction Control (TCS) are allowed.
Run laps until you cannot get anymore time out of it. Give a solid effort...no sandbagging 😉. When finished, grab the necessary screenshots and forward to me via psn as instructed above.
Any drivers who do not run this final time trial will not be eligible to race on race night.
