I can't make it this week, but I'm planning on trying to keep my Wednesday nights free so I can join you all.

What kinda lap times are you running. I'm trying the Ford but am only able to run consistently in the 1:27's with race fuel.
Also how do I add the weight to the MP4? I noticed last week that the setup I was honing went right out the window when I joined the session because of the added weight. That's why the car was pushing so much.

Yep, that's right. Practice starts at the same time 5:30 mountain time (7:30 Eastern). I made it a timed race of 25 minutes instead of number of laps so that gave us a bit more time for practice and qualy. Password is still: spyder
To add weight in a test session, it's in the garage settings at the very top right of the garage window. I haven't turned any laps at Laguna yet, so I don't know what kind of laps time to expect. The 110kg (240lb) weight penalty seemed to work pretty well for LRP and Road Atlanta, so we will stick with it for a while. If it becomes obvious that it's too much or too little weight, we can change it. I'll try the McLaren this week.
And BIG thanks to Kevin and iracing for sponsoring our races! Hope you can join us and bring your friends.

I can do about a 1:24.8 in either car with qualifying fuel under similar conditions. I think the mp4-12c is harder to drive and easier to setup than the Ford GT. A good Ford setup is really consistent and stable, but there are a lot more settings to fiddle with. Overall though, in my hands again with the weight penalty the cars are very similar in pace. Who knows what the weather will be and how that will change the balance.

Maybe this week I can keep it on the track a bit longer
