RRE Season 8 (2021) GTO's - Road America - November 4

[phspok]

Indeed Pete  Even with holidays and stuff, it does raise an eyebrow when only 3 people turn up
I remember MJ getting upset because they were only getting 10? maybe.
We had a good group early in the year. I haven't seen Birger and a couple of others for ages 

[phspok]

So this actually is the Finale of the GTO championship, which will likely go to Geoff or Mark
Picnic has probably got 3rd unless he misses it, in which Riccardo or myself could get it
But who knows.......

[BillThomas]

Real cars again - hooray 

[picnic]

Sorry to disappoint but I hope to be there, no idea if this is a Nissan track so I might be useless and come last anyway  

[Riccardo Gengotti]

Hi Martin, I tried the server last night but it kicks me out after about a minute, sure you set it right?

[phspok]

Maybe not. I will look. thanks for the heads up.
It is supposed to stay in Practice until someone joins, then the clock will start to count down.

EDIT: The server settings looked normal. I reset it anyway, and joined and did a few laps with no issue
except for my driving. Let me know if you still have trouble?

[Riccardo Gengotti]

everything ok now Martin

[phspok]

I think the Nissan will do well here, but it won't eclipse the others

[Riccardo Gengotti]

here Geoff and Spanner are playing for the championship, I don't want to favor anyone, if I can stay ahead well but I don't fight between the two, I'm happy if Pete comes third he's a good driver.

Any tips for T3, i`m just loosing 1sec in this corner alone?

Or i lock the front brake`s, or i snap spin during braking. The only way to get around the corner is to not brake more than 40% ?

You in Mustang again? I have brake balance one click towards rear, low diff preload (around 20 I think), engine braking reduction on lowest setting and minimum rear wing. Try 3rd gear (not 2nd) if you are not doing so already.

Thx, indeed  again in the Mustang. Currently driving in BB 55% and 53% in T3 and T4. Thx, for the low diff preload and less rear wing (could work). engine brake red is good during long sweepers and that's not the problem, currently the thight corners mix of 3th and 2nd gear (but it is during braking)

[BiriBiri]

Again thx Frex, did now the fastest leaderbord timing for the Ford Mustang`s  (Massimo and Riccardo still 2sec faster in the Nissan and Audi).


Only thing i increased the eng. brake reduction with 2 clicks from the base setup. I have some weired schock`s when going back on the throttle, when eng. brake reduction is on his lowest.

[phspok]

Be aware. Only the mustang wil be exactly the same on line as off line
as it has no handicaps

The Nissan has weight added and a power reduction. The Audi also has some handicaps
but they are very small

Great race    Well done Riccardo on the win with amazing pace. Bonni was a gnat's dxxx behind, and Pete was not far off.

Not sure what happened to Geoff at the start, but he managed to sneak enough points for
the championship win  

1st Place = Geoff with 64 points  

2nd Place = Picnic with 62 points  

3rd place = Spanner with 59 points  

Good close championship, thanks to all who came along
