At the end of the day, it's 1 point, and I'll have you in the race anyway
Might open an Indy/Daytona/SSRX room tomorrow night by the way, short races 👍
1 point could mean the championship for all we know.
You wouldn't have me in the race if I ended up on my own at the front like Cowboys was last time. I'd slowly pull away. 
It's also handy to have the fastest setup if you fall out of the draft for some reason.
I might have bring my controller sensitivity down to -2 from -1 to make it a little easier to control.

Did we alter the transmission settings at all so that the draft actually has an effect?
Like you said you can pull away from two cars drafting together even running solo if you're setting fast enough times.You hit the limiter on the straights if I recall rightly? Maybe less horsepower and similar transmission so you've got more room in the gearing for the draft to have an effect?

I can only hit the limiter going into turn 1 on my own- With low fuel I hit it just before the corner, with half a tank or so I can hit it if I drive over the bump just after the line.
Currently you can lap between 0.750 and 1 second faster if you're flat out in the draft for a whole lap, and passing here is easier than at Daytona.

You know very well that my memory is pretty 🤬 but I seem to remember that during the Indy race you fell out of the draft but were maintaining the gap without losing time, there was 2-3 of us drafting and we weren't pulling away from you

That'd be because you weren't slingshotting each other out of the turns and were fighting for position often. Since I didn't have other cars around me I could use the whole width of the track and run qualifying laps.
EDIT: It'd be the same at Daytona. The pack is only as fast as the lead car, unless they work together to slingshot pass out of the turns.

Ah right, I didn't take that into account; no changes needed then. Well at least the constructors should be interesting this year; Penske and KV have 6 Season One wins between them, HVM have very quick drivers in Fox and Pagey and providing Matty manages to finish the races on the same lap as everybody else for once, Target should be a genuine threat as well.
EDIT: Why do I stay up this late? 4 am, you've got to be kidding me.

Someone I know has unlimited level 24 tickets, I will add you on PSN and send one to you when I get it 👍

Sure, read everything on the OP man, we got a test tomorrow night so add Tom_97_COD on PSN 👍
Right guys, we've got 16 signed up now (I know Tom won't make many, if any races) but if we end up with 16 in a room, my priority will be that all teams have 2 drivers present to fight for constructors points. We always need that 16th spot for a pace car driver.
EDIT: Once again we've had a coincidence with our schedule that means The Indy 500 and the Sprint Cup Brickyard 400 are on the same weekend, June 9th-10th. Our 'Super Weekend at The Brickyard'.

When do you think you'll have that room up tonight?
My friend will probably be online on his 360 while I'm on, but I've raced while he was on it before and we were both fine connection-wise.
EDIT: Also my (already crap) laptop may finally be on it's way out, as it had it's first blue screen an hour ago (I got it for christmas 2007).

Your lounge I'm guessing, since if randomers join they wouldn't know/use the transmission restrictions.

The car is untradeable, so he has to grind a ticket.
Also, I finally got a second black/silver FGT. The new OCD gave it to me.
But I mean , surely theres somewhere were he can politely ask for a level 24 ticket
