League Race this Friday night Sept 4, 2015

[Kenadian]

I'm guessing Phillip Island, who's in?

We need as many to grid as humanly possible.

 

[Daunt]

I'm probably not available until at least until after 8-9pm eastern.

 

[Kenadian]

We're going to run it the same time you guys wanted to which I thought was 8 PM EST, no?

 

[Noodleguitar]

I'm in tomorrow. Can't stay forever but I should be able to make the qualifying and race.

 

[Daunt]

I think I will be able to make it.

Are we going to treat this exactly as a league race? So the 2 sessions (quali race, then official race)?

 

[Kenadian]

Oh ya, gotta do it right.

 

[ElektroVodka]

I'll buy the track in a few and throw in a couple of laps to get the feel for it.
Seems like a fun track lay out

 

[Kenadian]

It's an amazing track!!!

 

[Daunt]

It's an amazing track!!!

Yep! Especially when you can actually race it!

 

[ElektroVodka]

Well, come show me

 

[Jerad]

Unfortunately I cannot make it tonight I am on call for work this week. Which sucks cause I really like Phillip Island.

Zinc bucket over the phone works wonders
Nah, we'll keep a seat warm for ya anyway, even if it's just on the viewer bench

Great race everyone. Lots of fun. Great racing all around minus zac. Jk. Fixed is killing me.

 

[ElektroVodka]

I can't say i disagree.
Had good fun, until my lolliwanker decided it was time for his AI to take a break and leave me helpless in pits.
He was just standing there, waving the lollipop as if flames were coming out of the front of my Z4.

What could possibly be killing you about fixed? The car was more than manageable, I think you just need more seat time.

Zac and I getting together was unfortunate but it was a racing incident. Given we were so close for so many laps I'm surprised it took that long.

I may need a few of you to start saving replays though because I can't use just my footage if I want in car shots from other vehicles. My view was certainly not the best view of this race so my replay is useless to capture anything other than trackside footage

Biggest two things are traction control and tire pressure. It would require seat time in the fixed setup, which is very different than what I would (and will) run in the official series through the week. Tire pressure would have helped mitigate how slippery it was on cold tires because the second session was pretty slick before temps got up.

That's what I mean that for me and a lot of other drivers, the setup isn't about moor speed, but finding something stable according to their driving style and familiarities. I have plenty of seat time but I've been using pretty much the same set in the BMW since week 8. So that's why I was a bit thrown off.
