Yep! I started behind, managed to pass you, then you passed me back and crashed in #2, IIRC.

Your line through 8 was not correct. I guess you were turning in too late so the front end was washing out.

For those reading this: in practive last night at Mosport, Vanasse (McLaren) did 1:17:928, I (BMW) did 1:17:933 and Sauvé (Ruf) was far behind at 1:17:991

I've never been able to be as fast as both Stephane. So I owe a big thank to Sysgen (Sauvé) for making my rig work properly. And few bottles of wine so I can stay up front

I'm not there yet when comes the race, but the speed is there. So with some more practice, I'll be able to play with you guys. If I can learn how to drive the Ruf properly...

I've gained 2.8-3 seconds just by making it all working properly.

Now this is getting seriously fun!

Care to share any trade secrets? I was 4-5 seconds off pace at Sebring. I'm relatively new to the RUF but would have expected to be within 1-3 seconds.

Nice isn't it. I gained a couple seconds with a new PC. Things are so much clearer at 200 - 250 fps then they were at 17.

There are a lot of drivers that are way better than me! You mean driving tips with the Ruf? You got to turn in with the brakes on in nearly every single slow turns. That will help you a lot.

Ask some more questions, I'll answer my best.

Took the McLaren tonight and race with Sysgen. He beat me in the race by an eternity (0.1 secs

).

I'm getting there!

Seems that even the Porsche factory drivers are fans of iRacing. From Twitter:
