Yes tighten it STAT or just take it off since you aren't even using it!

I know! My visor is robbing me of time! Lol! I can't believe I kept forgetting about it everytime I pulled in. Going into the garage today to tighten it down

Not all companies have come out with sa2015 models yet. I've always liked the sparco wtx helmet, but they haven't come out with the new one yet.

Btw, in another session I missed a shift and probably ran into the rev limiter since the car was in neutral. I logged a max rpm of 8000. As a result, I did get a range 1 over rev. It seems that a range 1 equates to at least 8000 rpm.

Dude, just take the visor off. Two screws.

You can read the range over-rev with your Durametric?

Yes.
It's be nice if the developers would actually clearly advertise what is supported on the GT4... I get the impression that the product is virtually abandoned with minimal software support.

Full session chasing my own GT3 and GT3 going in too hot for T2 at the start after I told him to go FLAT OUT! LOL

Holy **** that looks fast. All the while having that visor issue too.

Are you lifting for sound? The corner under the bridge where I thought the sound **** was you seem to lift slightly but way less than I would have guessed.

No lift. Using the GPS switch. Works like a charm

I've been lifting/coasting for for sound. How much time do you think it costs? A few 10ths? Or more? I'm sure it varies greatly.

Probably half a second if you do it right. I see some people coast up the hill, or stay maintenance throttle once past the booth. Not needed.

About 0.5 seconds, more or less depending on how well you do it.

Hi Joe, I had fun meeting you, mooty, and others at lunch on Sunday at Laguna! Great line and fast laps. Hope to see you again at THill in September.

If it's a Bell helmet, I have the visor tool.
