I dont know much about these wheels but i'd say that the rake needs to be softend and the max lock increased?

Your tune is locked so not much I can do there...not that I have any idea about tuning. Things have definatly changed in the update process, FFB is snatchy and it now takes ages to get the wheel recognised by the Box. I have reduced FFB in game and added 10% linearality on the wheel...A bit better but not a lot. Tried with controller and can counter steer with no issues at all, compared with my wheel inputs I was being brutal...

Well tagged both starts on the third corner, leaving me with airo damage and dropped right back. Tried to push but with everyone putting in such close times I was no closer after 5 or 6 laps so called it a day...

Great racing. Snap decision to pit on lap 2 was the wrong one. Lap 4 might have kept Fitzy behind.

 

Great stuff.

Great race. I lost due to a bad call on a pit stop. I could have won easily had I not stopped. Thoght I'd be able to catch zeratul who was on a no stop strategy, but needed about 1 more lap & it would have worked. Excellent racing today in my room. thanks for participating everyone.

I only just made that no stopper work, had to slow 1.1 and 1.8 seconds down in the last two laps. The final corner on lap 3 and 4 where interesting to say the least ;).

No bunnies where harmed during the making of this feature.

What the hell? You guys finished that race, I didn't know that. From my perspective Cotter went wide and off-line into turn one but it was just Cotter who dropped. 5 Seconds later I was the only one in the race thought the whole room/race was screwed. Oh well was fun while it lasted, the car is awesome.

Great race! One of the best I've been in for a while. Managed to hold on to the last podium spot with my decision not to pit. The last two laps were very hairy but I made it while Surf and Lawyer battled it out just behind me. I haven't watched the replay yet but there was some seriously tight groups for the first few laps. At one point we were in a formation coming down the back straight leading into turn 17. Sick!  Thanks a bunch guys. See you next week.

Replay has already been sent Tourni. Be sure to take a look at lap 2-turn 17 from one of the following views...Me, SNappy, Zeratul, or Lawyer. IT will blow your mind.

Now that I think on it, it may have been lap 3. Either way, we were mixing it up quite well.

of course you can, I'm running mostly open series races now with no points. 

Going back to the fun of racing :)  

So on race day, pick a room and get started!   Speaking of which, Can I get a 2nd room host?

I can handle hosting duty Tourni. Now that I'm comfortable with how the handicapping system works, I feel comfortable handling it.
