Has the Riley got a lot faster? 34 laps in 30 minutes on the GP circuit is highly impressive!

Oops, thanks guys. As you've no doubt noticed detail is most definitely not my strong point!
Races are 60 minutes.

It pretty much tells you what to do during the start.

OK. Rolling start begins with everyone lined up 2 wide. The pace car leads the field round for a single lap. As the field gets to the start straight, make sure you are in correct formation. Go when the green lights come on.

It's described in the iRacing Sporting Code (which obviously you've read, just like everybody else ) and, seriously, the thing tells you what to do during the pace lap.

Haven't actually bought the car yet, but when I do has anyone got a setup sorted yet? iR forum setups are about a year old for Silverstone, so I presume they aren't suitable?? Can't see one at Team Shark yet!!

Gary Yeah thats not a bad set very oversteery though.. I found putting the front and rear ARB's to medium was much better, consistently 6 tenths quicker a lap

First impressions, nice car for a tin top!! Yes, the SP setup is a bit flighty! Don't open the throttle unless the car is pointing straight ahead. Mikes was much more manageable. Looking forward to the race.
