You can add whatever you need including more horsepower. As long as it is 580PP, sport tires and 2712 lbs minimum.
Grrrr!!! I'm STILL pissed off, which my daughter delights in telling me seems much better than being pissed on. %&#*$$#@!!!!Wtf? How does 1 manage to get a clean race bonus while improving 4 positions during the race and LOWER his DR rating? That makes absolutely no sense. The only on-track incident I was involved in during the short 10 lap group 4 daily at Brands Hatch was early on when I was solidly rear-ended in typical first and second turn traffic and lost 3 positions but hit nobody else, of which I was understandably mad at the same time I was proud that I collected up no one else and was able to continue on. The driver responsible for that incident (big surprise, smh) quit the race for a dnf. If that's why I was penalized, because the actual problem driver quit leaving penalties to dole out by PD and no one else available to serve them to; I'll say that's about the weakest excuse for a policy I've ever heard and further, if that's what I can expect as I race in faster events in GT7 I'll just quit now and make the big move to pc and iRacing, Le Mans Ultimate, and the majority of the sim racing world.
This concludes tonight's rant : PD policies and procedures. Thanks for coming out. Please return your speaker to its stand before exiting the drive-in and remember to drive home safely. Good night!
Thank you sir, great analysis! I used your work to get my '70 Superturd to a best set of stability #'s of -0.33 low and -1.00 high and an easy 12.18 second win in this week's 1-make special event at Watkin's Glen. Better yet, it made this iconic car FUN to drive! Thanks again!On Sunday after our morning of racing, Richard, Markus, Cory and I had a discussion about the Stability Parameters that appear on the Setup Sheet for each car as to what it is, what affects it and what the best parameters should be. After reviewing a few cars we agreed that the ideal parameters should be for "Low Speed" 0.00 and for "High Speed" -1.00 or as close to these numbers as possible.
This coming Thursday, I have an evening of racing using the Ferrari 512 BB 1976. The parameters for the vehicle are: 580PP, Sport Tires and 2712 LBS. Everything else is optional and open parameters. So I bought a used one from the Used Cars Dealership. Tested it at the Glen and it is quite pathetic. So, one at a time, I bought options from the Tuning Shop and GT Auto and the document attached shows how I went from a Low Speed Parameters of -0.46 and High Speed Parameters of -0.37 to parameters of -0.01 and -1.00 respectively. After a few more changes to the suspension to suit my driving (these changes don't impact Stability somehow) the vehicle is now very stable. I also tested the suspension settings from Priaino and the vehicle is very stable.
This is only one car but at least I have now a better understanding of the stability parameters on the Setup sheet and what affects it.

This will be my last hosting for the summer as I want to take a break and do something else on that night.
Thank you to all who came racing.
Thank you, Claude for preparing the events and hosting on Wednesday.
I tried this with a Gr.4 car, which, as a race car, only has some parameters available. No weight reductions, restricted add-on parts, etc.This is only one car but at least I have now a better understanding of the stability parameters on the Setup sheet and what affects it.
I know how you feel, Al. I have been struggling with the increasing contact myself, over the past year.Unfortunately our lobbies resemble daily races rather than friends having a good time racing together.
I apologize if some of this is because of me Al. I like racing against all of you on Wednesday’s and I try to be clean, but I do have my moments here and there. Wednesday’s are fun trying to race you in your Viper’s. 😊👍🏻Hey Geezers ,I want to apologize to you guys especially Luiz ,for Saturday.
I’ve Had a great time racing with the Geezers the last seven years,but Lately not so much. Unfortunately our lobbies resemble daily races rather than friends having a good time racing together.So I will not be racing or hosting lobbies for a while. Everybody take care and have fun racing tonight.
