Hey, I just figured you were into exploring new options/combinations... I'm all for that, but the best racing always comes back to the small cars on small tracks formula. It's no secret.
 
As a frequent VCRC driver it's probably no secret where i stand in this question ^^ But seems like I can never make these races lately.. maybe on saturday though if there are one?

I was pushing it as hard as I felt comfortable pushing a FF, which probably wasn't nearly as hard as some people could push it. I'll give it some more testing and see if things change. I was running stock everything except max downforce front and back (to slow straight line speed) and some power reduction.

I'm gonna try that car tonight. I was trying JP's benchmarks and it took me a few laps to remember how to drive FFs. Before I did I was like two seconds of the pace, then I went generally for later apexes and more trailbraking and found the time.

That's where I'm at but I'm not real good at late apexing or trail braking so I don't see myself picking up a whole lot of time. I was doing mid-to-high :44's so I left some room to improve. If most others are driving street cars I'll probably to the 08 Civic Type R, I'm consistently low /44's in that.

Hahahaha! I love it, I'd sign up right away. Love the camber on the wheels. :) (I'm guessing that isn't standard?)
 
Tried the CR-Z, yeah, it pushes quite badly with full downforce. I'd need more PP in it to be on target than in DC5 integra stock.
 
Sorry I ruined the 2nd race badly :( I didn't use direct modem to PS3 and MTU was set on auto, forgot to change it after using Youtube ... but I guess I would still have lagged..

I lowered PP to 413, a bit slower up hill, but can still compete on corner speed, I like the feeling of heavier car, the mazda sits at 1484kg ( added ballast to help reduce PP )


Don't know what's the odd for this .. I just got the exact time as my Nissan March 12SR best time at Seca while lapping in my own lounge :crazy: 1:44.003.

I don't remember it pushing too much, maybe I didn't turn up the front aero. I tried a Golf, it pushed a lot. Regardless, I'm going to switch to a street car.

I'll send you the Twin Spark, is your PSN Sagarismic ? don't worry - it's free :) and I'll post the Countryman tune here soon.

Haha how can a man in a little make up be creepy? ^^ Thought this world had come longer than that. :P
 
The creepiest part is that somebody voluntarily used it as their avatar on a message board dominated by males and testosterone. :lol: (no offense Orido, just joking around).
