+2!

It would have been much better with some other gs cars around but I had a great time. It could have been that I'm just happy to be back racing again but it was a fun track.

This track, and any handling track, good to go in my book. Though, don't confuse this to endorse a Positano race.

That would be interesting for sure.

Track perse is not that bad, but cars like The Ascari have many scary moments at high speed downhill at camino sector, and entering to it from ladera to the finish Line.
I saw the Corvettes handling there, not many problems.

I race sim steering

Anyway, I tried, but I had couple moments when I missed the brake point and thats it.  At least I finished, i was rusty on that car.

My ST car was a nightmare on that section. My GS car was a bit better although it was tense a few times. Glad to move onto a safe track like motegi.

Surprisingly the caddy felt good there, and everywhere else really. I could run mid 45s until I popped the wall in turn one. I got on the gas too early around lap 16 and the back end stepped out and caught the edge of the guardrail. Did 16% side and back which took me to mid 16s but the car still felt good. I think I may have finally figured out a stable tune for this car. I just have to run with monster truck ride height.

if its a really soft set up (like the ones i have been doing for Oddball) than the ride hight doesnt actually make the car higher with the way the car is slouched down on its springs and shocks anyways.

I'm not sure what you have been doing with his but mine was sitting around six inches which is almost half way up, the ride height you guys, get your head out of the gutter. You would think the soft springs would let the car sit lower but when you adjust it that high and run stuffed spring, which is what I did for this track so I wouldn't bottom out, it makes the car feel very high. That and a few other tweaks and the car has never felt that good. Yes it was a handful but it was so smooth and I upshot think that if I can run a full season with this thing the way I have finally got it, I have a good shot at getting a championship. All I can say is look out next season, if we have a gs class that is. This thing is finally ready to compete like it should.

Did you not read the post at all? GS and GT is going to stay. CT is under testing and GTR is fairly set.

sic sic Get em Sainted!

Well hell yes then son. It is on. I have read them but honestly have been thoroughly confused as to what was actually going to happen. There were so many new classes proposed, I was thinking if we didn't get new drivers then we wouldn't have enough to support such a diverse field. I thought we were dropping currently classes in place of the others. I don't know what I was thinking.

What's the dnf code for having entire track disappear?....hope I didn't get you Manuel

You had a seizure and passed out while racing. You now must get evaluated to see if your fit to drive!  

From 11th to sixth. Not too bad. Hopefully I can get a chance to qualify for motegi. At least be in a lobby and have some fun with some old friends.

We can get you in any day prior to the race. let me know if there is a time you want to do it at.

The problem has been my work schedule. I have started working second shift and can't get on to qualify during the week. Then I work first shift on the weekends and go to see my baby in any free time I have. Basically only have time to run the race. I can live with starting in the back, it just sucks when there are no other gs cars to race with. I miss my racing buddies.

So there isnt a time before or after work? My schedule is very unusual so if anyone can get you qualled up i could.

I am not at home during the week. I am gone to spend time with my baby. Sorry but I would rather spend time with her than get a qualifying run in. Then the weekends I could but others are using the tv I have to use to have internet access. Only one room has a modem to hook into and I stay up all night to qualify when I have to be up at 5:30. Either way its not like I'm racing for points or anything. By next season it should all be straightened out. This season it doesn't really matter at this point.

My bad, i read that as in you couldnt bc of work shift not that you were away with you baby piihb. Of course no one would put a game infront of their kid. You crazy? lol
