Okay, don't anyone pass out, I was practicing in the RSR last night with @Bedo. I shared Mike's setup. He noted the negative rear toe, drove the setup around for awhile and said the setup is fine as is :eek::eek::eek: So, I think we are good on setup :)

@Skid_Marc_, can you add Mike King to the availability schedule.

That’s really scary. Hell going to freeze over?

So wait, we have another RSR setup or still using one from previous page? I'm on for 4 days until Friday morning, so I'll be practicing at odd times to you guys.

I was always told to keep the rear wheels as neutral (close to 0.0°) as possible, in most cars. -0.1° of Toe is really nothing, and if you add a click, you generally end up with something like 0.5°, so you go with -0.1° because it's closest to 0.0°.

That said, if you are qualifying, adding -0.5 to -1.5° of rear toe CAN help the car rotate, especially in tight, low speed, corners like Bathurst..... for a lap or two...

Are there other ways to achieve the same thing? Probably, but connecting the Audi's rear-ARB made the car too unstable over the fast corners of the mountain, so I went with the toe adjustment FOR QUALIFYING-ONLY, and picked up a little bit of speed.

Don't confuse this for me liking negative toe. I don't. I hate it, and it makes the car super unstable, especially as the tyres wear off... but it CAN be faster, if you're talented enough to hold on to it. I am not. Negative toe can go fuck itself....

...unless I'm qualifying the Audi at Bathurst....


Maybe, because of how naturally understeer-y the Porsche RSR is, the rear toe isn't enough to destabilize it? But like I said, if it's only -0.1°, it really shouldn't be enough to make a difference anyways. It's basically neutral, and you're just not ADDING any understeer, like you would by making it positive.
 
We're just a few days away from the race and i haven't had time to put in any real practice. i'm sorry for the late notice, but i'm out of this one.

Good luck to everyone in the race!

I just have the #95 and #65 team. Do you want to set up another team or do you want me to?

Sorry about missing PP last evening. Had an unplanned family requirement come up. Plan to be on tonight if anyone else is going to be around.

@Slider, I sent you an invite for the #65 team. Please accept by Friday at the latest so you are registered for the team in iRacing before the race. We unfortunately found out with Jes that if you wait until the race day, it is too late to join the team.

I’m new to this endurance team stuff so I have no idea what if anything I need to be doing here.
Someone will register the team for the race, once session kicks in, under My Teams, join whichever team we're using. Be very careful, if you join wrong one, you're now stuck with that one.

I'm starting to come around to this idea. What I'm wondering though is what the toe ends up being at speed. Especially when the car squats under aero. I'm not positive but I think it affects it, just not sure in which direction and if it ends up 'fixing' it.

Disappointingly, no one in that thread wants to take the pepsi challenge. :/
