Looks like a good turnout. I'm in these cars but I'm in.

Somewhere around midday I think, if you mean California. You can check for your exact location on a site like this. The times listed in the OP are UTC.

"...if you mean California..." indeed. Too bad there are no snob emogee's as this certainly deserves one!

There is no other SoCal!

Boy, I think I must hate these cars as much as some of you guys love them. I wanted to drive the #78 Corvette with the Sebring livery since I live in Sebring and I've had 6 different 'Vettes over the years but I spent over 20 minutes trying and couldn't even get it through the run-up and to the start line without going off track!! Finally gave up after 30 minutes and tried the Fabcar since I had a Porsche many decades ago and spent another futile 30 minutes trying to get a decent time with that car. Finally settled on the Zackspeed b/c it and the BMW seem to be the only two that I can handle at all and even the BMW gives me fits sometimes when the turbo kicks in unexpectedly. I'm in awe of you guys and your ability to handle these monsters.

Thanks, Rad, but it looks like there will be quite a few of you brave souls running Vettes in this one so I'll stick with the Zackspeed and get my Vette fix by just watching the replay later

Reported in the appropriate manner.

It is funny how the cars act on different tracks. Last night I tested my (winning) set up from Sonoma at RA. It was way too tight so I had to stiffen up the rear to get it to rotate enough to keep me from going off on exit.

Here I thought RA would favor a tighter car but I guess the speeds require a looser car. If you want to race the Vette try stiffening up the rear and see if you can get it to rotate. Also remember that the brakes on these cars are pie tins compared to what you may be used to. I found I am faster if I downshift and brake earlier, then coast into the turn. Then I can stomp on it earlier and get the rear to rotate.

I'm sorry, they have brakes? Well, you could have fooled me.

If we are picking cars then I will be in the Fabcar, Coke livery if it isn't already taken. Otherwise I will just grab what is available. Now if I can just get a setup that doesn't kick me off the road so often

No restrictions on cars or liveries. There's no live stream so it's no problem if everyone shows up in the exact same car.

 

[FeltHat]

i appreciate the effort, it looks better and its easier for me to indentify other drivers

It took some effort to get the Monza to go that quick. I don't think I could squeeze much more out of it. Maybe a tenth or two. Next up...… Fabcar
