Thanks Jim, cool video.
Let the record show that I was the Flying Lizard car in 4th place, not the one that hit you, PedalFaster. Guess it's time to finish that new wrap I've been working on

OK, I figured out which way to turn but not much more then that. I'm going to have to get to Mosport sometime. Seems like a lot of fun. 1:19.3 with the baseline setup. I'll have to play with it this week a little, I'm sure that's way off the pace.

You did well Scott, it takes awhile to get used to this. The RUF is a fun car because you have to learn to rotate it going into the corner on brakes and then transition to gas the right way to keep rotation going so you don't get push going out of the corner. Done right, feels great, done wrong it is spin or push city.

Thanks, I'm starting to get the hang of it and I'll play with the setup if I get a chance tonight or tomorrow. The baseline was better there then at WGI though. My biggest problem is that I'm over driving my tires. What works for five laps suddenly doesn't.

Once you're actually IN the hosted session, go to "Garage", then in the same area where you would load or save your own setup, there is a button for "Shared". Folks that have shared their sets with others in the room will be in there.
Don't get discouraged - there are some pretty talented guys in here. Luke creamed everybody last night - and he's had a pretty good real-life racing season this past summer, too. Several SPB PCA wins, etc.
It also seems like Mosport rewards an aggressive take - blind turn in points, when hit just right, let you carry WOT through most of (or all of) certain turns, etc. T2, get it bent in over the hill just right and it's WOT through the whole thing. T3, turn it right and you're WOT from before the apex. T4 (Continental bridge), hit the turn in right and there's no lifting from T3 to T5 - you're WOT the whole way through.

Ah, should have guessed that. I tried a couple I found online but they wouldn't pass tech. Strangely, neither would the one I saved from WGI. Must have been a glitch.

Tech failure often has to do with ride heights. Change the spring perch, which is reverse of what you might think. If you want to raise the car you decrease the perch value. Also you have to hit apply for the change to take effect.

Justin's set failed tech when I loaded it. I did nothing but let the PC sit there, on the garage screen, for ~15 seconds, and suddenly the ride height moved slightly, and it passed. (?)

I agree with Jim, Mosport seems to like fairly aggressive driving. Focus on cutting distance and maintaining speed. If you try big swooping DE lines, late apexing, etc you'll lose huge amounts of time.

My bad. Forgot about that.
Justin's setup is on 5gal. I always practice on full (~15g) fuel, as to me I notice a big difference in the RUF when the fuel gets low and I like to know how the car's going to feel in a race. I never do separate race vs. quali setups. The RUF seems to like fuel in the tank - extra weight over the nose? - to me.
First thing I did when I loaded Justin's setup was bump the fuel up. When I did *that*, it failed tech.

Are you trailbraking into *every* corner to get the car to rotate?
