Yeah, I wanted you to take poll because I didn't want it. I LOVE close racing, and we were clearly faster than the balance of the field by like 1.0+. Scott XXX pulled the inside job on me in the bus stop, so I returned the favor in the next corner immediately 
. Didn't look as dramatic on replay, which is a bummer.

@ WGI it wasnt IMS failure, sadly my fault. Car was tough to drive after I brushed a wall and knocked out my rear toe on lap 6 or so. On the final lap I pushed too hard and hit a wall hard enough to blow the engine. I killed bugs for the last several corners.

Well my brake pedal took a crap last night and isn't reading at all now. I'm going to calibrate the clutch pedal as the brake and see if I can run like that. Hopefully I hear back from fanatec quickly on how to get it fixed, my guess is that the load cell died.

Hi All,
Anyone know how often those load cells fail ? Fanatec sells the for 15 bucks, might be wise to have a spare just in case. I've had my CS pedals for a couple of weeks, want to get the cs wheel eventually. Also thinking of the Obutto seat as well. Anyone know anything about them ?
See you all at "the track".

Mike, like a real car slow down and work you way up. You will do better slower and constant than fast and go off quickly. There are a number of us that just started, I started beginning of Dec. What I do to learn a new track is have the line on the track until you can get constant, then turn it off and see if you can work your way up to the lap times you were with the line on, it takes a few laps but comes. Also ghosting, jumping in someone else's car and seeing what they see and do help.
I'm in for the next one.

Drive a 80% for several laps until you can run all the same times over and over with zero incidents, then pick up the pace. If you start racking up incidents, back off until you can. It's a progressive learning curve and driving aggressively is usually rewarded with damage.
I'm about to be on my 3rd load cell for my Fanatec CSR Elite pedals. The 2nd one died just before this season started so I've been running using the clutch pedal as brakes. Since it seems to work, I haven't changed out for a working load cell.
