Yeah as i said im struggling with it cant make it turn in without washing off all my speed but ive turned 23 laps according to lfsworld with a pb of 1:31.260. Once ive actually got a decent amount of laps i should have it sorted to be able to run with everyone. i hope....

I reckon ive done alot more half laps then that too. Usually id do a few laps to get some temp up in tyres (not that i can heat up the fronts for some reason) then id try to get a good first sector where i was loosing all my time on chris and id either put it in the fence or decide i need to tweak something. Once i get some heat in the fronts i think the understeer should go away ive just got work out how to make them work harder

Well im bolloxed then. Tried a few laps just now. Best I could managed is a 1.32.5. May as well not bother if the 'ive never driven this car' peeps are already 3 seconds faster with no practice!

lol dyno itll be right, good chance to get some good points too this round with 4aged and sly guy out.

Started to get a handle on this thing last night but at that point was still about half a sec down on tiptops time he ran last night too. I knew i had more pace in there and i came back today with some ideas on how to make it turn without getting monster oversteer and its worked! Just did a series of mid 30's with the best at 1:30.38 which is still 0.16 down on tiptop but my TPB says a 1:29.9 which im pretty happy with if i can actually get there.

So what did you magically change to reduce the oversteer bud? Am very much interested in a more stable car! Wish I kept those setups we had when we did a LX4 series some million years ago... had a really good set for this track we're about to do...

I noticed it was behaving alot like a car with a locked diff yet it had a lsd so i dropped the pre load on it to about 100, gave it about +0.3 toe on the rear and took a bit of camber off each wheel too. I think i also dropped the rear roll bar to about 12. Dont get me wrong its still a pain to drive and still has some oversteer but its much better. Im still trying to get it to turn in in the first sector though but if you want i can send you the set at some point though your prob much better off asking tiptop

look like a good night for TIptop and wildboy! Hope it was a good night.

results and points up soon.

Krayy and Steala swap places, dyno stays between them, chris gets well above me now and tiptop closes in on wildboy.


Did a quick tally of points with everyones worst 3 rounds dropped....interesting!

Great races last night was a good combo. Looking forward to the next race, this car feels real nice at bl1r.

Did wildboy get fastest lap in race one. I thought i cleaned up for the night?

Rather enjoyed the race last night. Great battle with Sugo in race 1... Impressed with myself keeping up with the grid too... Bitch of a car but gave a really good race..

yeah i didnt get fastest lap in race 1, that was the race when tiptop smashed us all by alot. Good race with Chris though and race 2 was intense tiptop putting on so much pressure. I did quite a few good lap times while he was there but eventually i was just over driving it and couldnt keep him behind me
