Did only few laps and im not @Calvyn White so dont expect miracles

Whats your car? I can share my setup for Greenwood

I’ll post some setups when I get home tonight

 

[FeltHat]

There’s no such thing as BOP in this class!

The class is very track dependant, in most cases Capri is king (thats why i tell everyone not to pick it, i hate capri cup ), but on some, eg Hockenheim Fabcar shows some pace Greenwood is great on Silverstone

85% of the time I run the 935. The power works for me to pass on straights, and then I’m real stingy about hogging the inside line. Normally works. Kind of like how I drove the DP @rOAD America

Sign me up.

If anyone cares (Bock and DeGreef): I ran a 1:31.2 on the server last night...Capri.

Wow, you guys are so fast and here I'm still trying to get two legal laps in a row. Guess I'll have to figure out some way to roll my window down so I can wave at you when you lap me.

I knew it was going to be a strong field this week! Mike, you’ll do great!

instantly reminded me of 2:14+ that amazing speed

Cant wait to see you driving and battle with you Im curious about Fabcar on Sonoma

 

[sc4dr]

That was awesome! Thnx for posting

I'm with you Mike!

I actually owned a Chevy Monza Spyder IRL and IMO it sounds great in Raceroom, but it is the hardest to get a clean lap in for me. BMW is the most consistent for me right now, but I have only been able to do a 1:35 lap. Fabcar and Vette are good too.

That’s movin. That car is almost like cheating. So far I’m a good sec quicker in it than all the others, and I only ran a couple laps in it! I’m liking the Monza. It’s between Monza, Bimmer, and Capri

I like the Monza just because I always felt those cars were "cheater" cars that IMSA allowed in to beat the 930's. They were. Problem is that they are even more of a slug than the other cars. Their saving grace is that big V8 in a very light, but not nimble, car. I would if we were at Road America where that V8 would eat up the straights. I will not be driving it at Sonoma, though I tested it.

I had issues with the Capri in the leaderboard challenge, as with the other cars, and could only get into the mid 1:32's. In the server I was able to increase the tire pressures and it really made a difference in how the car handles.

What I have been doing in some of the corners is coasting in and then stabbing the brakes. This gets the back end around and then I can hit the Go Fast pedal. I am also trying to coast more into other corners and keep in mind that the brakes on these things were archaic pie-tins.

Almost a crime to show those cars on that track. They should be raced on the old Hockenheim like we remembered when racing was for men and sheep were scared.

Yeah, I hope so. The great thing is that you can have exciting racing anywhere in the field and while there is a real rush for winning, most of the great times I've had in RD was battling with others mid-pack.

Never raced a Group 5 event.

I'm in

BMW 320 Turbo
or
Ford Capri Zakspeed Turbo

 

[Isaac Chavira]

Are you going to add the BMW Pro-Car to the line up?

 

[FeltHat]

Obviously im not the staff, but im pretty sure the answer is no

Yes you are

Are you going to add the BMW Pro-Car to the line up?

No we're not...that is a date on the calendar as a stand alone race

Obviously im not the staff, but im pretty sure the answer is no

you are correct, it is no

 

[sc4dr]

I think it would not get used much with sooooo many cooler cars. Lol

( not that isn’t a great car)

 

[stevem]

It’s going to be hard to keep leader board pace in this race. I find myself sometimes in the air sideways going into and out of some turns. I’m going to work on a stable setup, then push to see how fast I can get it, I should be good if I can keep a 1:33ish pace.

Oh yeah, still messing with the fabcar 935. Haven’t given up hope on it yet

Fabcar loves riding on 2 wheels coming out of turn 4.

 

[stevem]

This should get the juices flowing.

p.s. where headphones and turn them all the way up.

What is that #47 car? Looks like a Lambo.
