IRS - Mazda TC Challenge - series concluded. DESERT PENGUIN is the Champion!!

[DesertPenguin]

Great racing tonight in the Pro and Am fields alike! Tires certainly are interesting. Maybe tire temps and cleaning dirt off works differently compared to racing tires?

Sardegna B is next week. Anyone around tomorrow night for some practice?

 

[DesertPenguin]

Time of day definitely makes a difference. I used to run each of three races in the Toyota 86 Racing Series with different times of day and it was nuanced in certain places but they were noticeably different in others. I opted to stop that and run a single midday time to keep it safe and consistent for everyone.

 

[The Gran Finale]

Second round seemed worse to me on tires. That being said, I liked the time of day change between the races. Felt more realistic.

 

[Clean Racer]

I’m having some weird lag issues tonight.

Hope you guys have a good race.

Sorry about this. Hope to see you back. You're a good and clean racer.

The second race drove much worse for me, I generally always struggle in the sun. I didn’t notice an ounce of grip reduction or tire wear in either race, no red appeared at all. I didn’t have any problems with the tires warming up either, the car drove the same the entire race, unlike in @R1600Turbo’s Ferrari series on RM tires where the tires took half of the race to warm up. Sports tires are generally much more predictable and consistent than racing tires.

The car was very loose for me in the first race, lots of oversteer. Second race it tightened up and was perfect.

Did anyone experiment with brake balance. I found it very even on 0 and didn't feel the need to try things as they might mess me up. What were you guys running with?

I ran with +1, but that’s pretty much what I’ve used for every car since the last update

 

[DesertPenguin]

That probably helps you brake a little later and keep it steady.

Thanks guys for letting me race last minuet. I was having an absolute blast with that combo and enjoyed racing around you guys. Monday’s aren’t normally a race day for me but I will try to enter in as many of these as I can. Great racing everybody.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I love me some low powered spec racing and this week didn't disappoint in the least!
