| Adjusted PI has now been posted. I tried to work this off of a few factors...Race times, Qual times, practice times & skill as displayed. My goal as Admin is to bring the competition closer for everyone and I believe the formula and PI's I have come up with will enable that to happen. http://f3scs.com/DriversPoints.htmlPlease no lap times posted here. Thanks | |

| Sure you can just use your 700 tune. I used my 690 a coupla times but it's not too easy when you actually get some good drivers in the Public lobbies. (but I know what your sayin') | |

| Awesome, I get to be back in the 690's again...I was getting a little discouraged for the next race when I was testing earlier...my times were horrid due to the long straight...gotta retune now and give it all she's got!!! | |

| Is there any possible way I can have a PI of 695 instead of 690? I've been testing and tuning and there is no way my 690 setup will be anywhere near competitive with anyone in the series...especially for this race. I'm not going to list times, but lets just put it this way, if I drove absolutely flawless...no mistakes hit every turn perfect...I'm 2.5 seconds behind Predator's best time on this track...and that's driving flawless with no traffic. I just tested a 695 comparison and it gives me a more competitive time. | |

| We just caught up to the driver known as Red Rotor after hearing startling new about his current situation.
What do you feel about the current changes that have taken place and your current series standings? "It is what it is, it happened to Mazda in the early 90's and to BMW in the 2000's"
How will this affect you as far as racing goes? "It doesn't really affect anything to tell the truth, it just means I have to drive harder more precise...basically flawless and tune to the absolute max...get every ounce of performance out of the new setup."
Well that's great to hear, any last words to say? "I'm just going to go hard and go for that number one spot." | |

| Getting worryed about the race after the practice yesterday lol. I'm used to having the brake line and and although i can drive without it i kinda search for it lol. I tryed passing predator and i was like *yeah he's braking too soon, there's not the line yet...oops.. boom*. So if you see me going full throttle into the wall during the race you'll know what hapenned XD. Btw, i don' thave a mic nor a keyboard on my gamepad so i'm quite silent online. Sooo for the instruction i listen when i we're in the menu but don't expect an answer everytime since it takes an eternity to reply. I'll go buy a mic soon though so you can hear my french canadian accent XD. |

| qweryuiop...Practice is all it takes to find your braking line. There are markers on the track in the form of, pylons, foot marking boards, tire marks on track, curbing, little things you can use to help you find a consistent braking zone. I will say this PLEASE if you are unsure of your braking err on the side of braking early rather than late that way you don't take out a fellow racer. Cause trust me I am not an early braker! I am a late braking trail brake into the corner racer. As for the mic...Ok we will be sure to speak often to you so LISTEN UP! no | |

| Honestly rotor im surprised my car's front bumper doesn't look like junk, oh wait it already does cuz i keep hitting the inside of corner #1 in testing...... don't tell the press that lol
.... I blame it on being sick, over compensating for my late reaction time | |

| Well, that wall does NOT move! You might wanna try to miss that one there CCB. There are many other walls that don't cause nearly as much damage for you to hit I bet that if you avoid the walls you and that Vette could be a force to contend with. ( Well that and if you avoid crashing into your own teammate in the pits like ALMS Corvettes C6R's did ) | |

| lol yea that was pretty bad but yeah its just the fact that i'm sick and over compensating for my delayed reaction time that i am getting myself into sticky situations.
i ran about 6 test runs with computers today i might add, the very first one, being a bit of a learning experience at how 6 of the 8 cars always Stop at that first corner... had to restart lol, but the next races it was pretty decent so ... i'm good bro | |

| Qualifying times are getting pretty close. Everyone in B room was within .700 of each other and not too far off A room times! Very close. Great Race all. The first 20 laps were knuckle biters with RRR Red Rotor on my bumper like a red booger and CCB Metal dippin his nose in there making it that much more nerve racking! The walls bit Rotor first then later on I tapped one too. I pushed it hard trying to keep Metal back but he was able to get by on lap 35. I tried to pressure Metal into making a mistake so I could re-pass and hopefully get the 2 in a row, but he only made very minor errors and I got next to him a couple of times but couldn't make the pass. Overall a great race. Mugello should be very interesting since there are no walls to really hit unless you really screw it up. The field seems to be evening up a bit. THE NEW POINTS AND PI ADJUSTMENTS ARE UP! CONGRATS CCB METAL!

Might build interest and get more racers! | |

| The lil zig-zag before the last turn. I was pushing the car on the rumble zone to see if i could flip there so i know what place to avoid during the race. I didn't thought i could flip it either lol. |

You guys are more than welcome to comment on the forums there about the race too. Might build interest and get more racers! Yeah, the racing was tight for almost the entire race. I wish I was able to keep it tight in the second half, but my mind started to wander and I started making crucial mistakes that I never made in practice...go figure lol. Just a little helpful tip for everyone, if you have a certain ritual you do before every race STICK TO IT...I wasn't able to ahem...stick to my ritual...my mind just started wandering in mid race lol...won't happen again. | |
