Yeah good point I don't want another type 72 situation.Can the testers get the faster one fast is really the question you have to ask, or, can they get more than you think out of the other.

I find that leaving it a day or so and coming back to it is a good test, if you can get a good lap out within the first 10 laps without having to try too hard then its probably ok 👍Can the testers get the faster one fast is really the question you have to ask, or, can they get more than you think out of the other.

In order to tune the car to be faster you have to discover how hard you can push the car, time spent learning the track is never wasted 👍

The key to a fast lap and a fast car is managing weight transfer, each driving input is made with the aim of getting the right amount of weight on the right part of the car in order to generate grip and go faster. First you need to work out what the car is capable of, then you need to work out how to make it better. 👍

You Time Attack guys are crazy, you do not hear us on the other side comparing lap times do you?
Just because our times are slower, 1:10-1:11 range, does not mean we are inferior.

Its not the lap time that makes you inferior, its the blatant lack of wide arch body kits and go faster bits stapled to your cars that make the differenceYou Time Attack guys are crazy, you do not hear us on the other side comparing lap times do you?

We are on diets, wide bodies make us look and feel fat.

It is GVE Reverse, did I give a lap time for there or just a random lap time?Oops
Guess we will have to wait and see.

I may have ran a similar time...that may have been at a similar track... that may have been in a similar car...but who knows right ? Then again, that may have been before I maybe completed the tune and my time might be maybe a little faster...It is GVE Reverse, did I give a lap time for there or just a random lap time?
I think I confused myself now

Perhaps you should learn to except who you are and not try to be anything else. We have accepted that we are much larger, and are more greatly affected by air and wind, but as a result, we are unencumbered by what others might think of us and thus move at greater speeds.We are on diets, wide bodies make us look and feel fat.

My RX-2000 is on the pace after all!👍
I got to that "I think I`m done" point and didn`t know if I was, or not. I`ll leave it again for a few days and give it a final shakedown, or bin it and start again!

Yeah, my S8 is pretty slow, about 3 seconds off. Wait, I'm still on Comfort Tires, doh.My RX-2000 is on the pace after all!👍

I had the opposite problem in the Tuscan vs. Esprit contest a while back, hopped in my Tuscan and it was suddenly really quick and only getting faster. I couldn't work out where this 2 or 3 seconds had come from until I retraced my steps and remembered I'd been grinding cash in the Red Bulls with SRF on and hadn't turned it offYeah, my S8 is pretty slow, about 3 seconds off.

I've done the same thing many times, now I'm a bit paranoid every time my laps are not what they should beI had the opposite problem in the Tuscan vs. Esprit contest a while back, hopped in my Tuscan and it was suddenly really quick and only getting faster.

The other classic one during testing is when you start running really good laps straight out the box and you have to go and check if you changed the grip levels to realI've done the same thing many times, now I'm a bit paranoid every time my laps are not what they should be

I noticed this seems to be the only tuning part that isn't allowed, is there a particular reason, or just mixing it up?
