Is the setup shareable? I wouldn't mind trying out some different ideas
At lime rock, with the caddie, don't lift off the throttle completely, no matter what. That car pretty much pivots like a dradle, so constant throttle (10%) seems to give it enough push to keep it pointed straight. Baseline seems to scrape the front end a lot, so bringing up the ride height helps when driving over the cubs.

I thought a 911 had a problem with lift throttle oversteer!

that Caddy is a beast. fun though, Justin's setup is pretty decent, I saved it so I'll share on Wed in case he can't make it.

Hmm.

I have a problem with it under steering out of the turns....providing I don't light up the tires

The setup I have is pretty stiff. I think the majority of my time lost is in the last turn. Its so bumpy, I have to wait on the throttle until I'm nearly straight. I'm pretty consistant but I think I could drop a bit of time if I could throttle out of the turns sooner.

I'm glad everyone else is noticing these things too. I've run a 50.2 and some others around 50.8 but I can't go that fast consistently and usually have been running in the 51.5 range. I'm using the baseline minus some gas and would gladly try a shared setup.

I've been iracing for 2 yrs now, and I'm just now finding this thread. Looks like there's a great RL community On Iracing. What is the Wednesday Night Race name and what time is it. I'm gonna try to catch one when I get back in town next week.

This last Saturday practice session was a one-off thing, though it could happen again in the future...

The regular Wednesday night gig is at 7:30 ET. Look for CXC Simulations Racing League usually hosted by C. Lawrence and click join. It'll ask for a password, which is mrroblay.

Hey Ryan, small world! Looks like we get to have an F125 rematch.

The weekend session got so crowded that it became impossible to set fast times. There were a lot of people having trouble keeping the car on the track and then staying off the track once they'd wrecked. It should be a pretty good race if everyone can make it through T1.

Would anyone be interested in racing the Caddy at LimeRock tonight? I have 4th of July plans tomorrow night.

I'm interested in a race tonight.

BTW, I think I sorted out the issue with the setup on this car for LRP. Take the baseline setup, and up the front wheel pressure by 4psi, and the car behaves A LOT better. Then you can start tweaking. This track is also very bumpy, which doesn't help much.
