That setup works great. Just remember to shift early, around 8000 rpm or you will never get to 5th gear which you have to get to for good lap times.

From what I hear, the NA practice timeslot can be a bit...well, quiet
I believe it. I'm sure the EU practice is at a more accessible time considering some of the player's schedules. To those who came a little late just to find an empty room; sorry about that. I quickly left in order to start the tedious downloading process of the demo. -__-

Roughly 2 per lap.
Did some tests, got exactly 2 a lap, some others was marginally over 2. I think it depends how you drive it etc, but its gunna be somewhere around that.

The streaming video is just so cool 👍 thanks Speedy for feeding, it's so cool to ride along in someone car as there racing. The only thing I'm looking for is the lap to pit on and if there are any biasing as to increase push (understear) so when the tires get lose the car is preloaded so it's not as out of control at the end of the fuel run. That kind of thing. Any suggestions are appreciated

I think that had to be close to the most fun I have ever had racing online! Hard to pass but made for some very close bumper to bumper racing! I can't wait for tonight's race!
Thanks Dano for being so kind with the blue flag, next time keep in mind that you don't have to give us that much room. A car width or two off the racing line is enough! Glad to see you participating. This is coming from someone who was always in the back and sometimes still is, don't give up! Also good to see another new guy! Welcome Sig!

Congrats Jon!
Was a great race and I did much better than I expected.
Same as Bart here for the NA Race.

Agreed! Congrats on the win JTV, and Ren + PASM for podium finishes!
What a race! Judging on practice beforehand I would have put money on it being between me, PASM and Fastas. Quali was good and bad, good because I made mistakes and still came 2nd, bad because I should have been on pole!
The opening stint was great, me and ren were neck and neck and managed to pull a lead out. Some incidents caused Fastas and PASM to drop back early on so JTV stepped up and never left!
We had a good 3 way duel for a few laps, before I made a mistake under braking for the chicane in T3 on lap 8 which put me down to 7th from 3rd. Then after recovering, outbraked myself into turn 1, and Dano made it past, but I managed to sneak up the inside into turn 2, so back into 7th. There was a small gap to Oink ahead and I made the most of the clear air, taking .5 a lap out of the gap to Ren in the lead, setting my best lap in the process. I eventually caught up to Oink, and boy did he make me work for it, had a great battle for 3 or 4 laps before I made it past. I then had another spell of clear air until I caught Al + Speedy. I caught up with them pretty much right at the pit entry on lap 24, and due to the fact they were fighting amongst themselves, I figured I didn't want to lose time behind them, so attempted the undercut. Would have been good, if I didn't over fuel, however, Al reacted to me pitting and came in the following lap. At this point I was down in 9th. So not looking too good.
Managed to get past Oink + Sig as they made their stops, and me, Al and Speedy had a 3 way fight again for a few laps. Then Fastas' spin and PASM's head-on with him gained us all two more spots. So up to 5 and 3rd was within reach. Managed to get ahead of Al for a lap before I made a mistake and gave it back to him, we had a great battle for several laps, with PASM recovering and catching fast. Eventually I got ahead of Al and so did PASM, and all 3 of us were catching Speedy. Lap 33 speedy made a small mistake through the last few corners, which caught me out, I got caught on the wrong side of him and ran wide, slipping back down again to 7th.
Had my 2nd good battle with Oink, however this one didn't last as long thank god
Lap 44 Al had a very strange spin... even looking at the replay cant quite see how you managed it Which gifted me one spot, Speedy then had an almost identical spin to my spin on lap 33 which moved me up to 4th. And that was that really, slowly started pulling away from Speedy, and was only gaining a few tenths here and there on the leaders. So just brought it home for the last 10 laps.All in all, a great race. Pretty much had fights with the whole field. And despite being disappointed pace wise with 4th, I had to work for it!
This was my last race until after GT Academy so thanks everyone for some great racing! And Dano, bless your soul, so generous when moving over under blues. Its much appreciated, but like Al said, don't feel like you have to jump right off the track. 👍

This was my first WRS event and I really enjoyed it! I was a little off the pace (mainly lapping low 1.02s) although I achieved 1.00 and 1.01s in practice whenever I push I usually end up spinning out. So I guess with more racing practice I should eventually be able to compete better with you guys. Sorry for jumping the queue in quali I didn't realise everyone would be queuing out from the pit exit to create the 10s gap. Thanks for the fun

Was a fun race this morning. Good battlin' with Jon and Tim (Caine) in particular. Jon outpitted me very neatly, and while we were tussling near the end, I got a weird dirty air spin where I thought it was impossible (on the gentle curve up the hill - yes, well after the curbs).
I think I was either attacking or defending for more than three quarters of the race, so it was pretty intense!
