My car isn't broken in yet. Just figured that out. Not sure if I'll go faster with more torque trying to snap the car loose. I don't want a car trying to spin on me.

Caught wind of this late, maybe I might have enough time to get a car ready just before race start. Without much practice I wont be too competitive, but what the heck I'll do it for the exp pts. I'm still at lvl 36'

Sorry I've been away for a while, doin' some WRS'ing 👍 I have my sister-in-law visiting this weekend, but I'm hoping it won't be a problem for Saturday.
Do I just check this thread on Sat for the room number I'm assuming?
If there is another practice room, I'd like to join up in my Italia

I wonder how the heck 33's are even possible.
These cars do not work well without abs and even with it on Im way off.

I usually dont use it. But at the turn in point I cant trail the brake so I might.

I would suggest using it. THe payoff for not using ABS is speed down the straight, but with drafting it's not as big a deal imo. The trade-off with abs is later and more powerful braking which is helpful for the rest of the track in these cars. Try it and I bet you'll get into the 33's 👍

Nah mate, gave it a shot and Im still not as rapid as you.In fact Im bog slow right now.
Im hovering in the 35's with or without it. Only difference is the car is easier to drive, 0.4 faster and nicer on tires.
Easier to drive, eh? I may have a session without ABS tonight then

Thus far my slowest car around Indy is my season's pick.
Though it's also my fastest around Suzuka... 💡

I meant easier, 0.4 quicker and nicer on tires with it ON.The back end wants to do a 360 with it off and it loads the left rear alot.
And hopefully I can break from the mid 35's with the RIGHT rubber.
I've done a few random races with no abs online and it's tough when not everyone has abs off because there are such varying braking points that people get punted. No abs means you have to brake earlier to avoid lock up and with abs means you can brake late, so even if I was .4 faster, thinking about it now, I don't know if it'd be wise with a heavy pack of cars for so many laps....we'lll see.
You can also try increasing the rear DF to help with that rear kicking out, and/or decrease the front DF a little.

I'm within sneezing distance of high 1:32's in all GT cars. Also, for DP I'm on 1:26 flat, but that's with ABS on 1.
Edit: so I've been tinkering with the Nissan using no ABS, and I reckon with the new tune I implimented I could be about 1:26.5 or less without ABS. Now, bear in mind I'm using a DS3 and not a wheel, and I don't use TC. This also means that theoretically, with ABS on, I can be quicker than the 1:26 flat I posted.
Edit2: 1:26.1, without ABS.

Just on my own, but I can open a room up if need-be
Well, DP got filled last night, but Paul was a maybe, so give it a go and you may be able to race DP at the race
It sounds like if I decide to use the R390, I can switch with R0ssingt0n. I'll let you know (both) know what I decide asap.

Sure buddy! I'll probably be online around 5pm Pacific Time (3 hours behind Eastern Standard Time). I'll post the room number here 👍
I was going to make my own tune for the car, but I think I'll start by trying this tune out:
