cool, thanks for that....

So... what lap times are we looking at here? Qual 55-56 sec? Race 57-58 sec?

In the EU race my pole was a 56.4 with the race pace by Ben B in the low 57s on average. But most were on high 57s or 58s.

Being a newbie to this ,,,but i just increased my rear roll bar .gives better turn in but you then have to play the throttle.Turn 1 and over the hill you need to get off the gas and turn in early then accelerate but not full .Not a expert but hope this helps.

That video has made me feel guilty for not keeping up with the V8's this year. Although funny enough that's one of the few races I have watched this season.

Anyway looking 4ward to the RD V8's on Saturday and Monday:good:.

Slow is fast in these cars. I had always to much speed in the first and last corner because i wanted to go to fast. Just brake a little and focus of hitting the apex and stay on the inside more important then the speed.

@ryan.

Mate i have work saturday mate so i cant make it, even though i got my time down to a 57.1.

Good luck

 

[Ryan Callan]

Remember there are setups in the RDV8SC Help thread if you need them guys.

And no problem Darren.

great help, since I got my new wheel my times dropped to mid 58's but after changing my roll bar i managed to get them to 57.1 after only 2 laps so thanks for the great help.

I upped my rear ARB and do get off the gas, but this is not proving to be as reliable as I would like I'm just not getting under the 57 sec mark and I blame those two T's for most of my lost time I'm sure...

 

[Ivo Simons]

Here is my setup i used in the race.
Got a 57 low with it and then i ran out of talent so 56 is possible. :wink2:

Thx Ivo, your setup is quite different to mine, but the feel is very close, and I'm still only lapping down to the 57.xxx's and race fuelled more in the 58.xxx... I do get a bit better turn in with your set so will look at the differences to see what might make the difference... oh, and my set uses more rear ARB so it isn't there...
