Pretty good race - Good job Roscko and mohi. I'll watch the replay, Wanna see some of your fast laps guys.

I screwed myself by not fully testing my setup. I originally planned on using 35/50 downforce but changed it last minute to 35/55 because I though the car would get too loose in the latter laps. Should have gone with 35/50 and I think at least the car would have been fast. Tire wear was even for me but the car just felt weird post lap 4. The front would grip really hard yet skid at the same time so corner entry was awful - mid and exit were fine. Also perhaps my front toe setting was a bit much, Dunno.

My setup was stock suspension with these tweaks, (Dampers: F(10/8) R(8/8) ) Anti Roll(4/4) Camber(1.4/1.0) Toe(-0.15/0.00).

First lap was absolute madness - So many cars sideways

I know how you feel about the downforce, did the same with last moment change. And yeah post lap 4 is scary here too.

I thought I was safe in P3 then you came out of nowhere and blew past! Couldnt keep up with you guys at all.

Keep either locking an inside front wheel or having 'moments'... Caroussel is scary too, had to countersteer in there a couple of times and that is just so heart-in-mouth.

I ran dampers at 7/7 in the front and a 7/7 in the rear with +6.0 toe in and -2 toe out on the rear. 4/6 on the sway bar and camber at 2.5 in the front and 2.0 in the rear, but my brake bias was 1/6 and 20% weight to the rear. Downforce maxed out!

 

[TDZdave]

wow Joe that's an agressive setup for an endurance race,

I ran out of tires, I noticed by the time I was depleting that rapidly that people were pushing out 5-6 laps, so I tried to stretch the 3 stop to a 2 stop, didn't work, and I was running 0.8 camber on the rear and 1.4 front, I'm going to go more aggressive with those angles when the pits are around more regularly,

 

[rosckolove]

I had issues with front tire wear during practice, and I noticed turn in became horrible. To fix it I pushed the extra weight almost all the way to the back so the car would rotate easier on its own, My front brake bias was half of what my rear was 3-6.

My camber angles were 1.9-1.8
My toe angles were +0.20 +0.20, positive on both.

Rest of the suspension setup was mostly 1 click softer than stock, The cars handles so good nothing I did made much of a difference, So I just adjusted the suspension to make the carousel easier/consistent.

 

[freshseth83]

I didn't tune my car. I only messed with the downforce (full) and ballast. Pathetic top speed, good turn in but massive oversteer mid corner.

 

[joetruckv8]

I tried my Ring setup at Tokyo, no good!

 

[TDZdave]

I took my tokyo setup to the ring and tweaked it for endurance, I expected to be in traffic so I set up for expecting to draft, turns out I didn't need to,

 

[phil_75]

Are you guys posting a video of the race, would be great to watch?

 

[rosckolove]

I have the replay, but i would have to email it to you

 

[joetruckv8]

Yea, I got to find out how to do the You Tube upload thing

 

[MikeGrove]

What's the first race track in the upcoming league?

 

[TDZdave]

tokyo reverse matey,

 

[joetruckv8]

And it is awesome in this direction!

 

[TDZdave]

Yes like Madrid reverse and trial mountain reverse, all seem much more real going backwards,

 

[joetruckv8]

Lol, don't get me started on better rev tracks. GV, Rome, Deep Forest, all s1ck in rev!

 

[TDZdave]

Hmmm, I'm not sold on any form of grand valley, apart from the original with the high kerbs, the rest are just ordinary, deep forest reverse, doesn't "float my boat" and I hate this Rome circuit, the GT3 version of Rome was the Bomb!

 

[MikeGrove]

4 real. Reverse tracks kick ass

JSTC400 Series thread is here, in case some of you missed it

 

[joetruckv8]

What Deep Forest Rev is way better than the regular version hands down! GV I give 60/40 with 60 going to the Rev way. You may have t do a lap around there again in rev, its probably been awhile, lol' :thumbs up: Rome 50/50
