it will be the best $11.95 you spend today.

LOL. No the best $11.95 I spend today will be my lunch!

I'm not an oval racing fan. Yes, Indy has an infield... but overall Indy Road will get about as much use as the F1 car on my system (which is pretty much zero outside of the first day I bought the F1.) I'm not a big "wing car" fan either.

No worries man - I'll catch you guys next week. I'll spend tonight in the garage instead.

I have a couple of setups (R & Q), but they're a bit on the loose side.

The car is a handful @ Indy Road. Best with a bit of practice is around 1:14.xxx.

How many laps will be running for the race?

it's a timed race...20 minutes.

I'd estimate 15-16 laps.

PS I have a few sets I'll be sharing as well. also, per the iracing forum a Silverstone set works reasonably well here too.

Yup...brainfarted, but got it.

That was a blast, despite my pedestrian pace. Not fond of the F1 car, but probably due to inferior pedals. I did get a Bodnar cable which increased resolution, but still just don't have a good feel with braking.

Looking forward to next week...

That was a blast. I agree the F1 car is very difficult. Video of my terrible driving forthcoming. I only recorded up to where I passed Russell again and immediately ended up in the sand trap.

those cars are a b*tch to drive with no downforce...yikes.

and this was a great case study in why we do these as fixed setup races...someone shows up with a hot setup, waxes the field, and doesn't have the courtesy to share it.

please people...if you want to do open setup races....share your sets! it's not that hard

anyway....DP at the Glen next week. boot with or without the bus stop?

I would say without the bus stop. I would have shared my crazy frankenstein set, but everybody else was doing well and I have no idea what I am doing.

Yeah, the F1 car is very difficult to drive, but it's a great way to learn how to moderate that right foot. The sand trap incident was a classic case of you guys getting too excited over the possibility of moving up an extra position! I know that every mistake that I made came from getting on the gas too quickly.

Absolutely, and I took a crappy line to get by you. When you see the video here in a minute you will see a bunch of times I just screwed the pooch. Somehow we seem to be consistently together in these races. I have decided it is because you are being nice to me.
