BTW
If u host and only do say a 15x15x15 P-Q-R
U get a discount
So that may be viable for our little get togethers
I think u learn more in an intense PQR than in just 2 hrs of lapping
We play starts/race anyways towards the end
I'd rather do 2x 15x15x15 PQR in a 1.5 hrs
That's what I'll be hosting closer to race days after a few days of practice

The RUF has clearly brought many folks back to iRacing. Look at how many RUF track sessions there are at any given time.

Didn't work out so well for me, maybe I need to put the brake, brake, brake on my windshield. Had slow start, some of others got by me, but made it through 1, 2, 3, but the car in front of me hit the brakes going into T4 and wasn't expecting it at all and I tag him pretty good. Sorry if that was someone from here, but guessing it was one of the random people that just joined.

We'll see, I dont think I can get much more than 16.7. Mosport has a lot of interesting corners where the traditional race line doesn't work at all. T1, T3, T5B, and T8 for sure. T3 has a lot of time if you dont setup wide.

Agree 1000%. I get bored just turning laps, and I really joined iRacing to actually race others. I love driving in traffic. I also like the man that just bought all kinds of stuff for his rig talking about discounts on $1 sessions. LOL. The RUF has clearly brought many folks back to iRacing. Look at how many RUF track sessions there are at any given time.
I can pay for it by saving a buck at a time! Break even by 2017
I will say I don't regret the $ spent

If I'd be able to put in practice on iRacing what I do in real life, I'd surely be faster... I did a 1:19:86 without hitting a single apex... 
Maybe I'm in a need of a new set-up... The lack of butt feeling does NOT help at all...

I keep the bad driving for iRacing...
in the hope that I don't repeat the same in real life...Either I overdrive the car (which I don't do in real life) or I'm just plain bad.
Set-up? Maybe I should try a new one...

That might be the problem. Try putting the gurney back in and adding 2 clicks of rear wing (12). Leave the bump alone. That one is a bit more conservative than the other one from last night so it should be easier to drive.

If you remove the gurney, then I have found you need to add some mechanical grip to settle the car down. Removing the gurney is good for the rovals, but I think it is counter-intuitive on road tracks. There is just not that much to be gained on the straights.

It's too bad you can't have multiple races inside a single hosted session. 15-P, 15-Q, then 10/10/10 races.
Cutting random solo laps in practice is fun for me as long as I'm still trying to find my rhythm. Once I've found it, it gets boring fast unless I find someone to lead/follow with.
Racing is definitely the best though it's only fun as long as there is a race going on. If you botch it up in the start then it just becomes another practice session.
