Apologies this is a bit late, I thought I'd already posted it I've just had a testing session and 1:22's are a good lap for me at the moment so I suspect the fast guys will be well under 1:20.

1st ever attempt at driving the Indy Car.
Did around half a dozen laps or so got a 1:34.868 (Full tanks, default setup). Next going to try DM's setup with half tanks to see if I can break under the 1:30 mark.

Oh wow oh wow DM that setup is tricky, whenever I turned my wheel left or right more than about 20 degrees the back came around, so with it I had to drive with very minimum turning. I did manage a clean lap of 2 seconds better than my PB 1:32.329, although I might see if I can change it so it's easier to drive. I also notice to am going through the gears much quicker with your setup up against the IR default setup.

Bingo. I just tried "High-Downforce-Racecourse" setup and bang a 1:29.612 straight away. My style of driving must need lots of downforce

I'd add that I'm mid to high 1:22's if that makes you feel any better I got completely 'stuck' last night, I could run very consistently in the 1:22's but trying to go quicker just ended in disaster, I can usually see where I'm slow (even if I can't manage to actually go any quicker) but I was really struggling here.

Having tried racing both the skippy & radical here, I can't understand how the Indy car could possibly be driven. Think this is probably going to be another one that's simply/sadly above my level. Shame, because I really quite enjoyed the Watkins race.

Is this the same track as last weeks Mazda? Hmm.. Gonna be a difficult one this. Watkins is quite a fast track so kinda suited the car but i think this is probably more like brands.
Forgot about this yesterday when i has some time to practise.
