You won't have to worry about that because it appears as if I too have to pull out from this event.
I apologize for this last minute notice but believe me, I've tortured myself over this decision and tried desperately not to make it.

I'll be on Friday night to finalize the paints.
@Kenadian :(:(:( I hope it clears up quick!

Well, tonight was.... enlightening...

Not sure exactly what the track temperature was (I turned KAPPS, VRS, and everything else I could think of off to try to reduce blinking. It may have helped, but it certainly didn't go away...)

Bottom line, Daytona in the heat is plaugued with brutal oversteer. After a rough first hour though, everyone went up one click on the ride height (push-rod length in the C7DP), and it seemed to absorb most of it just with the one change. Also seemed to make the prototype more stable under braking when transitioning off the banking in T1 and the bus stop.
Yeah, not sure what was going on, but at least now the car should be able to withstand hot weather conditions. Maybe that is why the driving was so crazy, everyone was experiencing setup challenges. I'd rather sacrifice a little speed in the cool weather than a lot of speed trying to stay on the track in the crazy hot weather.

Me, in the middle of doing a fresh install: There is no way I'm that stupid.....

*checks Connection Type*



Might be worth double checking the "Account" - > "My Account" to verify your connection type is set right if you're having any sort of connection issues...
 
I know how to get there, but which of the 5 options (ranging from 128k to 1Mbit) should i use?

it's at 128k for default, but i think my internet is pretty fast so should i increase it?

Sorry, I obviously glossumed your question.

If your internet is faster than 1Mb, which I hope to all that is holy it is, you should probably be using that option. I'm guessing that this is an outdated setting from when they introduced this service in 2009. Back when 3Mb internet was the fastest generally available in the U.S. consumers, with most people in my rural area being on 128kb or 256kb.

I wonder if changing this setting will fix our bump draft issues?

So with Ken out, no second DP Team? If I reading that correctly
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're down to one DP Team.

Again, sorry all. As it turns out, backing out was the right call because I still cannot move all that well. Getting in and out of my car should be set to Benny Hill music, it's so bad.

Ok, Health/RL first Ken. Take care of yourself
