I can grab the replays. We need what? Fast lap, qualifying results, and screenshots of R1 and R2 results? Or has someone picked that up already?

Drivers Meeting​

Its been a continued busy few weeks for me with summer and family time, and organizing events for the local 4th Gen Camaro Club I started this season. With that said, I have been continuing to keep up on the thread and the series from the shadows the last few weeks, and have had very little seat time. I WILL NOT be racing tonight.
Be sure to add @Bologna_Duc to your psn friends list to have access to the race room. In the event you cannot get in, please jump in the series group chat and let them know your there and need an invite.
I'd ask that all drivers be sure to have the above driver's PSN names on your PSN friends list before race time.

Grid Business
Good afternoon to all the drivers who will be attending tonight's 5th event at Trial Mountain. We are currently sitting at 14 drivers confirmed for tonight's races, so there are 2 open grid spots for those available and interested in racing. Please confirm or notify your intent to race here in the thread or pm me via psn. At the moment, all confirmed drivers are noted as attending, and have until 9:10pm est (5 minutes prior to Start of Qualifying) to secure their spot.

We do have 2 open grid spots available. Any last minute drivers that confirm their status to race, please be sure to submit their spec sheets via psn between 9:00pm-9:10pm est (submission window for all drivers) to my psn: NOVA-0479. A primary party chat will be open for our 16 drivers on grid. If anyone is not present by 9:10pm est, I will PSN message the available Reserves. If a prioritized Reserve is not online, the next Reserve driver will be offered the spot if available and ready to enter room.

Reminder to all drivers:
All confirmed drivers are holding 1 of 16 grid spots. Please notify me as soon as reasonably possible if you are unable to make the event. The latest acceptable notice without any recourse is 9:10pm est. Any drivers who are confirmed to attend, and fails to appear, will be placed on automatic Reserve for their next confirmed event.

Drivers Briefing
A few reminders for Trial Mountain:
1.) Be mindful in the opening laps. Be patient, and avoid contact/incident at all cost. Incidents that result in an issued caution, in the opening 2 laps, will come under automatic review for any possible infractions and penalized as necessary. Please be patient, brake earlier, and respect your opponent driver's space/line..they are not brakes or guard rails.
2.) Know when you have lost the position when approaching these sections, and be considerate enough to back out to avoid the risk of incidents. This series will continue to induce some very close quarters racing, and one slow up, or mistake could result in yourself, both, or many drivers losing position....don't be that guy. If both drivers are dead on, side by side, proceed with caution, and hold your lines. Just be warned that attempting to go side by side in these sections cleanly will slow both of you down and almost guarantee a loss of position(s) from other attacking drivers. BE CAREFUL and AVOID CONTACT ;)
3.) See this Event Details Link, and review for driver specs, race details, and allowable track boundaries for Daytona.

Final Reminders:
-Please be sure that everyone is on a wired connection to their PS5 (in any way possible)
-Clear cache before entering the race room
Lets try to do the best we can to reduce the jitters within the lobby.
Any drivers that are noted or noticed to create continuous issues will be asked to retire for the event.

Good Luck to all drivers, and see everyone at 9pm est tonight. :cheers:

You like that play seat challenge? I had one and loved it. It’s really all you need.

Yeah I really do - it’s a very nice piece of kit.

Reckon I’ll need some support struts if I upgrade to a DD wheel, but it’s great for the G923 👌

Yeah, there’s a company in the UK called indigo lime. That’s what I used on mine. It makes it way, way better.

I just ordered the pedal clamps from them this week - gonna look at what else they’ve got 👌

Btw I forgot to thank you: tonight was my first race in my new Snapdown boots!

Tricky to come by in Australia as wrestling’s not really a sport here - but got some thru a local MMA supplier 👌

Definitely a big improvement over socks, they feel great to race in.
Next step, wheel position. Turns out I’ve been driving with it 2-3” too close to me.

Thanks heaps for sharing all that Ergo info, it’s something I’ve not paid enough attention to 👏🏼

Now that makes me feel better than any win. Any time man. If you have any questions, just give me a shout. With that Challenge, I had trouble getting the seat low enough to give me the proper pedal angle. You drop the seat, the wheel set too high. You can fix all that by getting, or building a pedal riser. Perch them up so the pedal faces are slightly reclined. I think I raised them 5-6 inches. That makes a world of difference. I kind of wish I wouldn’t have gave that thing to my cousin. I would take pictures. I guess I could ride over there tomorrow and do that. Then you would have a good idea what to do.

This is very close to how I set them up. It made a huge difference in comfort and control. You will not fatigue as quickly. I’d say when I did that, it gained me around .500 average lap time. And sent my consistency through the roof. I had the T3PA Pro pedal set at the time, with a load cell mod.
