Nice setups Brian. I can't normally drive your setups as they tend to be quiet alien, but these I can. After only two laps on the race setup I was into the 1:20s, although I had to move the brake balance back to 53 cause your 57 just makes my front lock up all the time under brakes. The qually I did a 1:21.2 bizarely, but that was without the brake balance change.

I will give that a go tonight in a public race.

Wow, what a difference a setup makes. Still nowhere near braking into the 1:19s, but in my public race this evening I finished 5th with zero incident points and a fastest lap of 1:20.9. I started off about the same pace I could do in SRou and as I gradually picked up the confidence to try harder I started moving the brake balance forward as well, finishing the race with it on about 55.

Very pleased with being able to get the car around the circuit now without hassle. There is one moment on that setup where you go over the crest into the braking for that fast sweeping downhill left hander where I'm sure the car is bottoming out over a bump, but other than that not too many problems.

Still think this is by far the best car in the game, but it's a shame that without a decent setup it's just too hard. Once you can keep the car on it's just brilliant to drive.

Good result.

That was my first setup I made from scratch and was feeling what I was changing was having positive results.

No doubt next week that will change.

I see my pal Benjamin Burmeister crashed out again. 22 incidents in the last 2 races, not finishing one, highlights his danger.

He is fast between his mistakes but so careless and rude.

LOL. What I don't understand is how people have so many incident points at all and still score so many points. How can you be scoring that many points when you are crashing and falling off in so many races? I have 1 incident point in 5 races now, because I believe to finish first, first you must finish (not that I've finished 1st for a VERY long time laugh), but the principal remains. How can you get good results if you're throwing it off or crashing, very bemusing. It's certainly not that I'm not trying hard, it's just I believe there is no point in being on the track if you're not trying to finish the race first and going fast second.

Yes, gave it a quick try tonight and it is nice and stable. I didn't quite match my time from the other night but I was being over cautious, and I'd just done a Mazda Miwaukee race, so I wasn't really in Dallara mode. What was immediately noticeable to me was how much better it was through T2 compared to what I'd previously been using. I could actually turn and drift it, and even catching the curb didn't result in an immediate spin, and I can vouch from experience my previous setup would have!!!

Because the 50% 'rule' means that they only need to finish half their races for it to pay off.

Got to remember that incident points do not mean people are crashing or falling off all the time, eg.. you can still get good points even if you get 3 or 4 incidents for touching the grass on exits of corners and if your finishing in the top 5 all the time....You dont need to have a perfect 0 SR in every race to get good results/points.

With what Dave stated about the 50% thing ..it does mean that someone can have 5 times as many incidents but get 3 good results out of 6 and get alot more points.

Ive stopped worrying about incidents now i just concentrate on creating/finding good setups which then lets you race hard without worrying about going off and making mistakes ,at then of the day it is racing so you should just race !! Wink  On the other hand it does make a big difference who you are racing against. Roll Eyes

Yeah fair enough.

I must say the standard of racing in the DP races and not quite as much but reasonably so in the IndyCar races is much more gentlemenly than the Skippy or Mazda. The rolling starts are really helping and I tend to leave a bigger gap to the car in front on the starts even though I could sit right on his tail, but there is a general understanding that you don't make silly moves on lap 1 and it's really important for everyone to make it through the first 2 or 3 turns and into single file before you start racing properly.

I've just decided at the last second to do the Radical @ Infineon (right now)... It's funny how it's such a nice track in the Radical yet undriveable for me in the Indy/Skippy.


EDIT - Gutted, not enough people to make it a proper race (I guess) so everyone just retired Sad Had to settle for a Jetta race at Brands (not bad actually)
