Our official sessions are still Sunday (practice) and Wednesday for the points race.

I'm having a hell of a time with the track, I'm only in the 1:19s but more importantly I can't string together a few laps without an off. I've been messing with the setup and trying to get used to using the clutch pedal as a brake, I'm calling fanatec tomorrow since I haven't heard from them yet.

On the clutch, move the spring lower so you have less leverage and it has a bit more resistance, it might help.

Faster track tonight, I ran 15.2.

Your setup! Just goes to show you realistic weather. I did learn a few tricks on T2 and the final turn. Just ran a 45 min race and found out I'm good until 30 min in and then self spun trying to avoid lapped traffic. Still fun as heck. Found a bunch of guys that run Tuesdays that ran with us last night and apparently earlier tonight called Eagle Race Team on facebook. Fun times.

Yeah I learned a trick on 2 and 3

Squaring it off more by a more aggressive initial turn in and back on power earlier with shallower steering once power is applied

This was fun! Corvettes, Ruf's and one mx5 all mixed together!the guys were very clean and the start of the race had no incident I know of and it was at Mosport.

The track was cold and FAST, wow, what a difference!

I thought about running that race, but i think it started at like 9:something. Too bad I will miss the points race. Our groups is really starting to improve.

Could I recommend that we set the temperature to 69F and 12% humidity for the race tonight? That's how it was in that practice/race last night and I tell you it made a huge difference, everyone was more stable and we were not sliding right and left. Everything was more stable and fast.

Tom, do you concur?

It would be faster/grippier if we set those, yes. However I do like the random weather too. So I'd be good either way.

Has anyone finalized their tune for the track yet? I need to get extra practice in or I'm going to end up in the pits a lot tonight.
