Seriously, even on a SSD it takes for-loving-ever.

Already bought the Audi but will probably buy the Nissan with my S4 funbux. Really wish they'd finish Long Beach since it'd be very appropriate for this Kamel series.

Just join any oval race with cautions, you'll be side by side before you know it. The skill absolutely translates to the road side. Everything else you need to be in road sessions, but to fast track your ability to drive in a crowd, just use oval races.

Probably not a bad suggestion. I'll throw in a few ovals as I'm trying to do BES Sprint and Skippy this season.

But seriously, Mosport, Summit Point, and Road Atlanta are in my top 5 fave tracks. I've heard Mid-Ohio is good, but I've never run it. I also have a love/hate relationship with Laguna Seca.

The most likely car looks to be the Merc from Discord chat. Petit Le Mans is 10 hours long, so I can run any race and take stint times in the afternoon.

Mid ohio is amazing but also my closest road course irl so my opinion is biased. Having midoh is what attracted me to iracing in the first place.

Eyud, Mister Zimbu, and anyone else running the Merc in Petit this weekend. I grabbed these setups as new baselines. They're from the BSS series, so I'm assuming fuel will need to be added to the race setup:

You realise that the second pass I gave you the corner because of the first pass, right? Also on reflection I left more space than I thought, you just dived onto the grass like a wuss so :frogout:

If you're doing petit le mans, I'd say a good goal to shoot for before you're ready is 1:23; that was the fastest RUF time I saw and you should probably be faster than the slower class.

We call that the Formula One pass. Lift or you're wrecking.

As far as passing there or giving the corner, I feel like that's about the best spot to let someone by because you can control the pass, pick up their draft and pass them back into 1.

This is like my favorite pass in indycar texas, stick behind them through turn 4 and make sure you can run low for the first corner of the tri-oval, they usually push high to run the right line and you have enough speed to dive left a bit and take the low line, now you are in position to complete the pass through 1&2 because the high line is awful there and they have to lift to not crash. I made this move about 5 times yesterday night.

You missed the point of his video, which was apparently "don't have accidents".

Here's an actual video which actually matters. For those of you driving Trucks now, who may not have driven TRUXXXXXX back in the day, here's the difference:

Pffft. That's nothing. Restarts during tire model 1.0 (like 2010) had comparable grip to restarting in the current infield grass. I'm really not exaggerating. Also they had apparently coded an ivisible sheet of ice across the bottom of the turn in Talladega's trioval. It was like the big green hand from Star Trek showed up and pushed your left rear panel. Better times.

While I'm pining for the old days in the new thread, rescanning Daytona was the worst thing they ever did. Those bumps own.
