Personally I did a few laps with full power(about 870 at that stage)
Then I put it down to 450hp and chased my ghost, it eases you into the power and helps you turn it better, I then put it to 500, 550etc. I improved my time at 750 and was over a second faster at full power again.
I have active steering as strong and grip on edge at low so the grass and the AstroTurf at the exit of 7 don't spin me, don't put two wheels on that AstroTurf, it slows you all the way down the backstraight, oh, and shortshift out of some of the corners.👍

Thanks Akmuq - my Fordrolota Campasion is going to have to make do with the full beans as I don't think I have time now to creep up on the power. If I can just get all the corners right then the straights should look after themselves!!

Amazing T3 Maverick 👍 I'm really struggling to be smooth through there.
It usually changes hands a few times but I think we know who will be hogging it this week, eh?
A step forward in T2, seem to have hit the talent wall in T3 and keep throwing 22.2xx T1's away by missing the braking point for the long left hander in T2...
T1: 22.363
T2: 20.884
T3: 17.990
I'm looking for a 22.2xx T1, reckon I'm about done in T2, need another 0.2 in T3 then I'll be happy I think.
Well, that's not strictly true - I'm obviously quite a happy chap already, I'll just be even happier, which is always a good thing.
Did our American brethren become British (leaderboard flags) just for the royal wedding by the way...?
Thank you Vagabond!(Chris).. Although I think the only times I have the flag, I seem to be just a place holder for one of you other guys. It was fun while I had it this week.

I tried a tune (thanks for that) that made a decided improvement:
23.677
21.928
18.418
I also switched from my __ car to my ____ car
Still not tidy enough yet; should be able to improve with more laps.
Love NASCAR on road courses 👍

Nice splits Chris! I have found T3 to be pretty fickle for me. I am not sure how you guys are going so low in T1. My times are usually in the 22.4 to 22.6 region with an occasional 22.3. T2 to seems to be my best, consistent sector.
I think in my next session I will try Eclipsee's tune and see if I can figure out T1. Otherwise, I think all I could improve is .15 in T2. The T1 and T3 I already have up are at my current limit. I will probably end up submitting with my current lap.

@ Chris: I'm trying sir!! My main car from this week only has 1628.7 miles. Besides the cooler going down, most of my family was in the South during this last batch of tornadoes. They're all O.K. That cost me about 12 hours of seat time. Four to six of which would be driven sober. (That's just a guestimate! )
I think I'm making progress on my tune, though. I've only shaved off a couple of tenths at the line, but it seems to turn much easier and still lets me get on the throttle. Here's what I've done:
1. Raised the front ride height to 27 and the rear to 25.
2. Softened the front spring to 15, rear is still at 12.
3. Rear dampers are now at 5, both ext and com.
4. Rear toe at .20, the front is .10.
5. Rear brake is up to 5, from 3. Front is still 7, as 8 cooks the front tires too quickly. I would surmise that is from the camber and toe being higher than they need to be. I'm braking earlier because of that, but it's helping my exits.
6. So I lowered the LSD setting of the brakes to 5, down from 20. I left initial at 15, though I want to try it again at 10.
This tune feels easier to drive at a fast pace. I know there is more time in it, as I've improved my t1 by two tenths, then I miss my apex, then my t3 is back to what is was (almost) with the fastest ending yet for me.
Before I made these changes today, I splurged on chassis reinforcement, both at the tuning shop for 20,000 and then the auto shop for 250,000. I also did the engine for 150,000. That's a lot for a redneck! But I started today with well over 1,000 miles, so I decided to go for it. That doesn't count the test cars, either! I'd like to see what you think of the changes, if you get the chance.
to all!!!
Racing On!!!

not much difference through T3 but nailed the last turn and improved by over .2 at the line, probably submitting with these

Nice splits Chuk - I'd say from what you are feeling in the car about it turning easier is related to dialling down the brake side of the diff.
I don't know how well these things are modelled, but I'd also surmise that you are comfortable with the softer front spring due to the increase in rigidity that you've seen from the chassis.
Just my $0.01 (adjusted for GFC)...
BTW - Looks like the D3 win is yours. I've still only got 5 laps on my car so don't think I'll be troubling the podium. Planning a long session tonight though whilst the wife watch's something on TV?!?!
PS. Glad the family are OK

Thanks!
I agree with you on what the changes are doing. It's drifting closer to Stotty's tune, but with a different camber vs toe. 💡
Joy is find that one beer you stashed in the back of the fridge you were kind of hoping was there, but not sure!!

956 km's done....wasted a lot of time on trying to find balance beetween ramon's, chucks's and mine setup but in the end I used chuck's setup with some minor modificatons, thanks for sharing mate and to ramon as well offcourse!
Quite happy with achived time, could have been more agressive in last real corner but never the less I'm happy! Don't want to push anymore as someone could always find a better car/setup combination so....
Submtting now, good luck to all!👍

First serious laps run, still playing around with the set-up.
22.697
21.209
17.816
Messed up the first corner in sector 4 though and dropped .3 there.
Back to it...

Still a bit to find but not sure if time will permit.
Great splits Mav, i'd be submitting with those too
Edit: Forgot to mention, using eclipsee's tune except LSD 10/9/10 TCS1. Standard gearing for 350k/h with Final drive 4.000. Obviously I have no idea how to tune

Sid, so how come your splits show up on the leaderboard and mine don't? I'll try again with new splits
T1: 22.540
T2: 21.126
T3: 17.934
Dropped just over a tenth in T3 compared to my best, but got the last sector right this time for a 0.5 improvement at the line 👍
My diff's currently at 10/18/5 with TCS 2 and using Chuks final drive ratio with a tuned 4th gear.
Here's hoping my splits show up this time!

I've had something similar, where the splits don't update on the board, but yours isn't seeming to show up at all. I know there seem to be some problems at the moment. You'll notice no american flags as well, they've all turned their passports in to see the wedding I guess

It sounds like my go slow style is helping you to find enlightenment
Isn't it cool learning a course in a underpowered over griped fully adjustable race car and then bringing up the Hp until the condition flips and goes the other way? Happiness exist somewhere between the extremes. IMHO...lol

I only did a few laps at each power. I'm now on full power with eclipsee's tune. And leading. Don't let Little play on the PS3 Lefty.
Just kidding of course.
