Annnnd I can't go any faster  I'm not really liking the feel of the car round here, feels very sloppy and imprecise. |

I also like harder setups and I tried it here, even went as far as 1200/1000. Car was more stable and responsive but utterly rubbish in slow corners - a spin fest and slower laptimes to boot. Strange, as I set any other car on this track harder than elsewhere.  Will see on other tracks. So far this car is below my expectations. |

Sorry about the password confusion, I would have used the normal practice one but the announcement post said NOTE: All sessions protected by the main password.
Which I now see conflicts with the text in the password notification at the top of the page I'm still searching for the right words to explain the difference between pre-official practice and official practice.  1:43.733 now my best, but a sustainable race pace will be high 44s for me unless I discover some setup magic.
Well you knocked nearly a second off that tonight Dave. Was that purely down to reduced fuel, or just getting more familiar with the car? I tried the setup you shared but it was a bit tight for me, I couldn't get it to turn. I'm still more comfortable with Mike's settings. As I said in chat, I did that run on low fuel. I got my race fuel time down to about 43.4 but it's not a sustainable race pace. The 42s were all on minimum fuel. Silverstone is always a tricky place in terms of setup. You want stiff suspension and downforce for the fast corners, but that compromises you really badly in the slow stuff. With soft suspension you need to be rolling the car into the corners very smoothly; Maggots/Becketts is especially tricky because you have to try and get the car rolling back before each change in direction is on top of you. |

After week 1 in the DP/Rad series (and a shocking - and short - race courtesy of some numpty in a Radical and lap 1 heroics) and a good number of laps at Daytona, the feel of the car here was totally different, and took all night to get to grips with. I'm looking forward to tonights race though - there definately going to be a sense of achievement just getting to the finish  |

I'm just glad the race is only going to be 60 seconds long....otherwise it'd be really tough!

If I had read your message at the top of the page I would have used the normal practice password but I had seen Pop's comment and was just looking for a password. Too much haste to get the server running. BTW someone's spelt including wrong in the main password announcement text at the top of the page. |

Sorry for the confusion over the password guys, I should have made it clearer to Pete.

Im not sure i feel confident enough with this car yet to race tonight, after a few nights testing on my own i thought i had found a good setup, stable and constantly in the high 43's but i came on the practice server last night and my setup didnt work at all and felt totally different Dave's setup finally got me somewhere near the times i was doing. |

We should probably just drop any mention of the password from the announcement, or just have a link to the text like we do in UKGTR. If anyone can thinking of a clearer wording than (pre-event practice servers will use the usual practice password; the actual event will use the above password, including the pre-race practice and qualifying sessions) please speak up. Even I can't understand it and I wrote it! |

You could just put "Practice Password: xxxx".
And "Race Password: xxxx".

I'm not sure you need the last part ('including the pre-race practice and qualifying sessions') as the practice & qual bits are all part of the same event.

Silverstone is always a tricky place in terms of setup. You want stiff suspension and downforce for the fast corners, but that compromises you really badly in the slow stuff. With soft suspension you need to be rolling the car into the corners very smoothly; Maggots/Becketts is especially tricky because you have to try and get the car rolling back before each change in direction is on top of you. Yeah agree.. Through the quick stuff you really need to have all the weight transfered and settled before trying to find the apex. Really enjoying this car. |
