Track was pretty fast. I tried a ton of setups, ended up using the same setup from the last time we were there. It doesn't have outright speed but I can lap consistently so I'll probably stick with it though I'd be curious to try Julian or Phil's setup next practice.

Only had 9 show up, but was expected due to the holiday. Tom and I kept swapping fastest time until the end when Julian took my setup and tweaked it to his liking and he did a 2.04.9. Julian likes his car way to loose for me :-) I was able to do a 2.05.19.

Like I said, track was fast. I had mid 204s but never made one clean, run low 205s for 9 laps in a row though.

Phil, you mean that Julian likes the setup a little tighter which makes the vehicle oversteer a little too much for your tastes???

He means the opposite. Julian can work a more loose car than the average rennlist driver. Great in some corners that naturally have understeer but tricky in several corners leading to incidents.

Keep in mind that the car might change a little bit after the Tuesday update, so a re-tune may be needed.

No **** Could only get down to a 07 flat, opt was 5.5 but could never put a lap together that I stayed on asphalt. Tried Phil's set-up but the car did not turn in like I like it too, will stick with mine and tweak. Lots of work needed and I am travelling for 2 days

Thanks for the skyview. My spotter never mentioned you and I guess you had such a head of steam that I was at your trackout point.

Sometimes the spotter takes a little too long to update.

I clipped somebody at the last Road America event too when I thought I was still clear and moved to the inside and wound up driving across his bumper. Spotter never said a word!

Can they do an update to the spotters? Try to get them anticipating a little better? Lol!

Looks like a lot of changes to tomorrows iRacing release, a lot of UI updates:
http://members.iracing.com/jforum/po...t/3248910.page

Specifically for the RUF Track, will be interested to see what the brake changes and torque.
Ruf RT 12R Track
- Wheels can be custom colored.
- Added adjustable traction control. Traction control can also be disabled for 5 seconds via the new traction control toggle control.
- Has a new layer of backfire and crackle sound for traction control / rev limiter / pit limiter / up shift ignition cut.
- Updated brake system to use pressure-based bias.
- Increased low end torque.

Also COTA is available and the new BMW, guess not quite available yet.

Just hosted a session. 120 minutes all practice since I probably won't be able to stay on the full time.

Thanks for hosting Jim. I worked hard to finally barely beat your time. It took a while to grow the ***** to go through the kink flat out. I had to tweak the aero a bit so it didn't push through there.

So what kind of times were you guys doing last night?
I would be nice if it would save the weather conditions along with the session results but it doesn't look like it.
