Thanks for the setups Calvyn. Didn’t cure my inherent slowness but felt better to drive.These cars have hardly had any alterations in their setups. Mainly camber, wing, a little toe and dampening. I can probably safely say these changes will have to be made for racing purposes. And additional alterations naturally.
So, in conclusion, treat the set-ups as a starting point. A very good starting point even if I say so myself no one else will.
Have a good race have fun and keep it clean.
From what I saw your lines look good the speed will come in time. Glad to have you part of the club.Thanks for the setups Calvyn. Didn’t cure my inherent slowness but felt better to drive.
Good to have you join us again and you're in luck as we will be having back to back weeks at Road America... so clear the calendar.Sign me up please! Haven't done these events in a while. Haven't driven this car yet, but love me some Road America
Thanks David. I think I'm suffering most under braking. I don't have a dedicated rig, and the really stupid bit is that my chair is on wheels. While I try to rotate them perpendicular to the force before driving they invariably move.From what I saw your lines look good the speed will come in time. Glad to have you part of the club.
Can you take the wheels off? I used to do that.Thanks David. I think I'm suffering most under braking. I don't have a dedicated rig, and the really stupid bit is that my chair is on wheels. While I try to rotate them perpendicular to the force before driving they invariably move.
This has been a good group to race with. Learn following those in front for the first lap or two and then briefly when getting lapped. Good fun.
if you have the room for it mount your pedals on a piece of plywood long enough to put the chair on. Then put the chair on the plywood and mark an area that the legs will go in. Mount 2x4's on the plywood in such a way that when you put the chair legs inside the perimeter of the 2x4's the casters will not roll. Now you have a stable base. I did this before I got my rig. worked like a charm and I used it for two years.Thanks David. I think I'm suffering most under braking.

Yep, when I was still racing at my desk I just pulled the wheels of the chair......come to think of it, sometimes I pulled the wheel off the desk too.@Scott_H I had the same problem. Switched chairs - problem solved. Pulling the wheels should work too.
How are you securing your brake pedals? I used an old Amazon box for spacing between the pedals and the wall.
Oh you evil man.The set-up is at the top of the leaderboard at the moment but I suspect that will change.
I had similar issues wit my tires with the c6 corvette. My front tires were red after two lapsI don't know what happened to the tires on my Corvette, I had no grip right from the start when I smoked them off the line when the lights went green and only got worse with every lap. Even after my pit stop for 4 new tires didn't help, so after about my eighth spin I thought it best to retire and watch the rest of the race on the live stream.
The odd part it is the same setup that I ran full fuel practice and races against the AI with and had no problems. Same setup that I used for races at Laguna Seca, Hockenheimring, Hungaroring, Mid Ohio and Twin Ring Motegi on the Ranked servers earlier in the day with no spins for finishes of 2nd, 5th, 2nd, 5th and 1st.
Just one of those days I guess. Oh well, on to the next one.
