Thanks andy for making the start post images/smilies/smile.gif

gonna be a fun and overtaking race i think. RB4 is strong in the corner but loses it @ topspeed images/smilies/smile.gif

had some nice laps with Mischief today images/smilies/smile.gif

I think Geeman will win this race images/smilies/tongue.gif

and those with the XRT, happy braking in the last corner images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

I think that video needs to be posted again images/smilies/tongue.gif

. Again, I won't be there. I'll be standing at the side of the road watching local rally cars go by images/smilies/smile.gif

You got me all worried with talk like this, so I did a 50 lap test (with passenger), and guess what, I have no problems with the right front, and I'm braking just a little bit before the last set of tires on the right.
Not sure how fast I am though, my fastest lap was a 1.14.00 during that run.

I've been doing 1:13's all day with the FXO images/smilies/tongue.gif

... but ESPN, remember that Firefox was on mouse at that time so it might not be that bad

andyhui01 · November 19th, 2006, 05:46 AM

just did about 40laps with one set of tires on FXO doing 1:13's 70% of the time and 20% 1:12's and the rest just over 1:13 because of mistakes... went to pit and see if it changed tires at 60%, it changed all fours (*#*.. I wanted to test if the set could last 50 laps but I forgot I didn't have enough fuel and I couldn't make changes... pb is 1:12.54 now images/smilies/biggrin.gif

, actually 1:12.53, but I went on the grass the previous lap so it didn't count.

matt2000 · November 19th, 2006, 09:25 AM

this is going to be interesting. i sometimes struggle to keep the XRT in line on the straight

Viper007Bond · November 21st, 2006, 07:12 AM

Can't make it as it's when I celebrate Thanksgiving.

GraemeH · November 21st, 2006, 11:23 AM

Had to work the weekend last week so i couldn't make it, may be the same this week. Hooray for 7 day weeks.

Everyone's passed me on points :/

andyhui01 · November 22nd, 2006, 10:46 AM

btw, I finally found out using 2 feett to drive was quicker on this track, helps alot more images/smilies/biggrin.gif

... now I just need to stay consistent which is almost impossible for me images/smilies/lol.gif

Mischief007 · November 22nd, 2006, 11:06 AM

. The key is that main chicane which you should be able to take flat out in the FXO. Right before the tires you should be over 200 km/h. That's when you hit the brakes. At the 2nd row of tires. I love this track and I won't be there images/smilies/sad.gif

. Sucks.

andyhui01 · November 22nd, 2006, 11:11 AM

you mean the really fast one? yea, I managed to take that without lifting off already, I watched the replay about 10 times and realized I was turning in too early or something... but now my key to a good laptime comes from the Chicane after T1 images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Mischief007 · November 22nd, 2006, 11:36 AM

That's another tricky one. You have to nail that perfectly, be early on the power, and shift the weight properly for the exit. Quite an amazing chicane after T1.

andyhui01 · November 22nd, 2006, 11:41 AM

^it would have been about 50% easier if it wasn't blind IMO, I don't turn in at the same point every corner because I just can't see the corner images/smilies/lol.gif

... I finally finish my exams tmr so I'll definitely be getting some practice, I really want to lose my 1st place Virginity and this is one of the best chance because of the cars everyone is driving images/smilies/tongue.gif

Mischief007 · November 22nd, 2006, 07:29 PM

True but geeman will be fast in the FXO. If I am fast, he will be fast.

andyhui01 · November 22nd, 2006, 10:15 PM

haha.... I guess it'll just depend how fast I can get and how much more practice I'll do images/smilies/biggrin.gif

ESPNSTI · November 22nd, 2006, 10:32 PM

I think mid to low 1:14's is what I should be able to do most of the time, with an occasional high 1:13 towards the end.

FireFox · November 22nd, 2006, 10:36 PM

I can't make it this weekend. Got other appointment earlier that day and I don't think I will be back in time images/smilies/sad.gif

Mischief007 · November 23rd, 2006, 12:57 AM

I'll see you guys next weekend though. I already had my share of racing in the SIMFIA DTM series images/smilies/smile.gif
