Road atlanta not for me, rrr not for me either, i hope the oloa team doesnt include these scary tracks.

I like pbir, cal speedway, daytona, nothing scary.

Scared fiat still faster than self-heroes aero beetles.

Really. I wouldn't put him in any advanced group after watching his video. Would you want to be on track in advanced group with somebody who brakes in Bishops Bend and parks it in the other turns by his own words.

ps. I still mostly run intermediate groups.

Now back to Peter's 4.0/GT2RS search he needs a car really soon and the economy needs a boost. He might need to buy the Orbit 3.8 if he can't find what he wants.

LMAO! We all have things we can do better. Yeah, he needs to ditch the braking in Bishops, but the slow corner speed is pretty typical for most advanced DE groups in fancy cars anyway, so no biggie. IMO the Super Solo crowd is a big exception to this (at least most of them ) but most other advanced DE groups have a variety of talent, none of it horrible.

I think that Rad (who I will finally meet this weekend) knows how to give and take with the best of them here.

And yes, Rad for President

- fiat shifts at full gas in 60ms, aero beetle 400ms, trakcar 1000 ms

- 345 hoohoos allow more traction on turn exit.

- fiat has 4.3 r&p and shorter gears, aero beetles have 3.89 or 3.44 r&p and looong gears.

Even with the same powa, fiat will always reach higher speeds, but i got an extra 30 whp, i didnt have the extra powa a year ago when the cat dyno'ed 397whp at Eddie's dyno.

Those TM graphs are confusing, what are they?
Clearly the only viable solution to this problem is a GT2.

Picture at Mosport yesterday, cold windy and more bumps, not ideal conditions.
