Yeah, I'm good with my $45 DS3. :lol:

As fast as you are with it there's no need to upgrade. Only reason I can think of is to get that close to race car feel which you do get once you have the wheel down pack.
 
Yea build slowly. Pedals 1st, then wheel, then base.
$150.00 $150.00 $400.00

Then rig last.
$400.00. <^--- wow that was a lot of doe. good thing ill have this throught all racing titles. If you build in pieces it doesn't seem so expensive imo'

Looks awesome Joe!

I been using my G27 for iRacing, when you use it with something like that it's so good :)
 
I know I could be faster with the wheel. Better steering and throttle inputs, but I don't have money for certain luxuries like that.
 
I believe pole will be in the 2'16's range with a fast lap in the race of 2'15's maybe even a 2'14's at the most!!!
 
Are you running high or low downforce?

Medium downforce. My Jag is severly underpowered. With the RX7 Im doing 2:14s, with the Jag, 2:16s maybe 2:15s if I push it. The Vette is in the same range. I dont remember the jaguar being this slow before.

Would you say med downforce is around stock. I'm at 40/65 stock but I'm trying Super GT stock which is 30/55. I figured I would have to go up but its sticking at this level. Going to trim upwards but I kind of want to see how strong this df is against close to full are close to full setup.
 
Full d.f is 50/70 Im running 40/58. Any less it wont take turns the way it should, any more the top speed languishes even more lol. I think 1280kg is a bit much for the car with its 5-gear transmission and 453hp. I would say 1260 would be better.

We have to figure out your lap times compared to everyone else's?. It seems you are already in pole contention unless you are way off pace then that's another story.

Im speaking relative pace of the other cars. The Corvette is in the 2:14s, as is the RX7, Zonda, Viper, Panoz and Citroen. Im barely getting to the 2:15s driving the limit of what I think is pretty quick. I am fine in the handling, but losing out loads of time in sector 1 and 3. 👍 Thats why I asked what your times were at Indy without draft, you said 48's, I was doing low 50's.
 
My lounge Seth and I testing now

GTR @ 473 indefinitely
Jag @ 463 indefinitely

PB: 2:15.893 | Still playing with downforce. I might be able to hit 14's in cln air but most likely I'm running 15's come race time'

This forum has been kind of slow recently. If we don't get at least 8 drivers willing & able we will postpone this Spa round until next Sunday!
