Or maybe shoot me an invite for any practice sessions? I got an invite earlier today but had to go out to get my RL car serviced. I'm at the shop now on the iPad.

I'll run an open room when I'm practicing Snappy so if you see me on just drop by. I have been forgetting to run with my 10% not a handicap, handicap so need to put more laps in to work out how to drive a slower car faster than the faster car...if you see what I mean laugh

Already sent it back. Can I use any of the Falcons? I have the #19 and the #9 is 900K. I'm not cheap but that's a lot for coin for a not sure thing.

Around the 4:09's seems to be the average. I am about to go on now.

I've only done 10 laps or so.

But, after most of them in a full powered car, running 4.15ish, I ran an online setup to try the 10% power reduction and was suddenly up around 4.23... sad

@naked - are you running TCS? We need to get on together and have a look. I,m sure we could get those times down. Also - are you using Paps tune? Might be worth asking him to tame it a bit for you. I know he's very keen to help. I'll make a few adjustments myself and see what I can do. Have already tweaked his tune more to my tastes. ALSO - use that rewind button on LE mans. Just too damned long to learn anything much just lapping. It's a must. @tourni - Paps is happy to help I believe. My tuning skills are very poor in comparison. AND I don't think I'm going to be running 4:04's other than in hotlap mode and that will take another week of practice :(

I've been running the tune by Pap, modified just a touch.

Was initially happy to go from an atrocious 4.23 to clean, slow, 4.15s in so few laps, then remembered the -10%. Didn't think there would be such a difference with a small power reduction.

I am running TCS and I'll turn on the rewind.

Paps tune should be good. 

 

What are you finding difficult with it naked?

It felt a bit slippery at first and if I lost too much speed, 3rd gear seemed to bog making what should be the appropriate throttle input tough to judge.

But I'm certain the main issue is me not knowing the best line for the curvy sections. Like Poidsly said just lapping doesn't feel like it's helping. If I blow a section, I've got to wait minutes to have at it again. I'll use the rewind and check out some replays...

That 10% makes a huge difference, ignore that time I have up on the leaderboard I forgot the 10% handicap and was just hotlapping the car. It takes me from 4:08xx best time to 4:12/13 and that is with TCS on as I am not to hot with RWD and anything passed A class...

the gears shoule be stock but you can adjust the FD to shorten it if you find it abit long. 

 

I will stick a quick replay on my SF later to show the lines i'm taking. most of them are about keeping close to the inside using the throttle :)

 

Honestly, Raw pace doesn't count for much in an hour, its about keeping it off the walls and consistent.   Its much faster! :D

Keep off the walls and you will be quicker. Who says Tourni doesn't give good advice.
