1:36's ?...bugger. Knew it was possible as seen the AI cars doing regular 36's. Have only done a couple of half hour sesh's but still on 39.2 whether i use a stiff or softer setup  Got a week to find 3 seconds  and by then Ginsters will be doing 35's  |

Thanks goldtop, I've downloaded them and inserted in P&G. I will try it out later tomorrow. Bill |

Bill in those setups is one called IROC_street. Its the most stable of the bunch with understeer built into the setup to make it easier to drive. IROC Evo1 and 2 are progressively aggressive race setups and take some mastering. For some reason they have extreme front brake bias but i just find they lock up all the time...anyone else found that? and i end up moving the bias rearward. Perhaps they have so much front bias to generate some heat in the front tyres.  The Radial tyres were supposed to be superior to the biasplys but i find it the opposite in sim.  |

Thanks for that Mark. The out lap is a bit hairy until the tyres warm up but after that it is more manageable.  I've been able to record timed laps now something I couldn't do before - it needs careful hand right foot coordination.  I think with practice I'll be able to get the right amount of lock and throttle to drift the back around those slower corners to counteract the understeer.  Bill |

I may miss this one. I haven't begun to practise yet and if this car is as badly behaved as it sounds I doubt I'll have the time or inclination to persevere. We'll see.

I think with practice I'll be able to get the right amount of lock and throttle to drift the back around those slower corners to counteract the understeer. Bill Glad it helped Bill. Maybe as you get more comfortable with the 'street' setup, add increments of stiffness into it to gradually build up more pace. That street setup has zero rear arb, so you could add a bit there as and when to reduce the understeer. Just pumped in another 30 laps and finally broke into the 38's.  but still mainly 39's. Havent found where im losing those extra couple of secs from yet Ive been using the IROC_Evo1 setup this morning but with biasply tyres. I find the radials like wearing ice skates  |

Not as bad as I feared. Initially lapping at 1:41's so I may do this one. It's such a nice circuit to.

Bring out your party hat Bill  I can only match Sandor's laptimes with near suicidal corner entries so laptimes are even slower. Keep bouncing off the curves and falling off the track. So notice for fast drivers: will get out off your way asap but have to stick to racing line in fast corners to prevent going off into the barriers |

Agreed, there's nothing to fear but the "perfect" lap is very elusive. Very good to hotlap and I'm guessing good to race Here's my setup if anyone is desperate http://www.filefront.com/15536295/911%20iroc.svm Now show me yours  |

Great to hear you will be there on Thursday, Alex!  Thanks everyone for the driving tips, they're much appreciated guys. It has made a massive difference, only a few days ago I hated the IROC, but now I'm apprecaiting what a great car it is I'm currently using the IROC_Evol setup with brake bias moved further back and I can generally keep it on track with a best of 1:39.7. |

Nice one Tim, glad to hear others are catching up laptime wise. 1:38.3 is my pb so far but the rear of the circuit seems to lose me some time. Looking forward to trying Ginsters setup (cheers mate) as i watched one of his laps last night and he seemed to have more grip and traction at that rear crest. Will post mine later if anyone wants it. (ps..why cant we upload setups here?, it would be very useful in race threads). |

Now that I have a portable oxygen cylinder which I can use in the computer room and am feeling less breathless I am anxious to try racing again. How ironic that the race I have targeted should be this one with what in my opinion is the most difficult car in PnG to drive - still all being well I will give it a go.
