Mine is yellow... as always.

Thanks. Tried the track out, managed a 9m1s, so should only be 4 minutes behind you all at the end of the race *coughs*

I'll put some more laps in before Tuesday and hopefully manage to keep it out of the wall...

Richard Coleman · Mar 3, 2014

I'll allow the driving line to help you out connor

Jonathan Seekings · Mar 4, 2014

How do you get the pp to go up? and what times are people doing? it is so hard to practice for this track. my times vary so much. Not going to bother to change much of the setup because I'm too inconsistent to notice the changes.

Richard Coleman · Mar 4, 2014

You cqn modify the power for this event. Fully modified cars allowed. Just remember to grab the race car

Also grab the oil change.

Rui F. Martins · Mar 4, 2014

i still have to upgrade my car, when i do so i will post a list with the upgrades i made and i can also post the setup changes i make, they won't be anything very complex because i also have dificulties to notice changes

Rui F. Martins · Mar 4, 2014

Modifications list:
-oil change
-level 3 engine tunning
-level 1 turbo

+16kg of ballast to keep the pp in the 485
if there is any illegal modification please let me know

Tunning:

ride heigth:
front: 60mm
rear: 70mm

camber:
-2,0 in front and -1,0 in the rear
i also changed the front toe-out to -0,05 degrees

the rest is in the default settings, any sugestion is apreciated

Sakis Politis · Mar 4, 2014

I will finally be able to participate.

After some laps I do times around 7:30. Minor tweaks to the car as it already carries too much speed through the corners, mostly to match my driving style and enhance its characteristics: (FAST THROUGH THE CORNERS!).

For me, absolute speed is not so important here as consistency. Going 100% for 4 laps will almost surely end in an accident. After all it's the "green hell"...

Connor Caple · Mar 4, 2014

Sorry, owing to a shoulder injury I am going to have to pull out of the race tonight. In too much pain to cope with the FFB from the wheel and I can't drive with a controller.

Sorry for the late notice, but the pain is pretty intense at the moment. Got some prescription strength painkillers and they make me pretty woozy. Going to take a few days to get used to those.

Jonathan Seekings · Mar 4, 2014

If i don't roll it in this race it will be a miracle. really struggling since i put my upgrades on.

Very sorry to hear that... Get well soon!

Jonathan Seekings · Mar 4, 2014

I have set up a room for now, so join if you want. not sure about all the settings so tell me if I'm wrong. If Richard sets up a room then join him.

Rui F. Martins · Mar 4, 2014

i have a question, since the track allows multi+le times of the day to race will we get some darkness?

can do i suppose.

Jonathan Seekings · Mar 4, 2014

@Sakis Politis just noticed on the OP that it says 11th March. Today is 4th

Richard Coleman · Mar 5, 2014

Haha I gave it a few weeks for me to sort my schedule out

It would have heen tomorrow but Im in Auckland 200km from home visiting my sister for a few days.

As for the 485pp Im pretty sure its fully modified. I was looking at the garage screen when I made the thread and mines 165bhp at 5simething hundred kilos. Can't remember.

Connor Caple · Mar 5, 2014

I was sure it said the 4th originally. Probably the tablets - everything is a bit fuzzy at the moment. I have no idea how Heroin addicts function after my short time with this medication.
