        Re: iRacing

        Let me and try to get this right.

        For all the cars, there are "series" that are on a set schedule of tracks which are the "sessions". Each week there are new tracks, until the schedule is up and then there are a final standings.
        You can race as much as you want to gain as many points as you can for that week?

        So the Lowes set of tracks that i got i really cannot use because the solstice and the legends ford series(rookie) don't run those tracks?

          Advanced legends and Spec Racer Ford run at Lowes, The Advanced Legends runs the little oval, and teh SRF runs the roval.

          You can move up to advanced once you are a Rookie 4.00 SR

              Turn 3 are you guys on the throttle all the way past the white line? I'm letting off just before the line and back right about where the Lowe's Turn 3 paint is on the wall.

              Turn 1 I'm letting up at the Sprint logo, maybe a second after that..

              31.100 was my fastest with you guys but still need to find more speed when guys are getting 30.6-30.8 range

                30.8 is all the faster i will do without a draft, no need to go any faster than that by your self. In a race just feel it out, on a long run you dont want to push it too hard too soon. I doubt i do anything faster than a 30.8 in race. Will post the setup once it is done.

                  I figured out at the end of practice, right before I got off, that I was holding the throttle way too late. So I feel like I just wasted two hours lol. I think when I practice, tomorrow more than likely that I will be able to run a little bit faster.

                    Re: iRacing

                    Ok after 6 hours of testing offline and online i think i have something. Feels really reall good, use a little tiny bit of brake to get it down to the white line, im going to test in out on a long run tomorrow.

                        I just read that you said to tap the brake in, that probably would have helped me lol. It felt extremely loose for me, but I think just a little brake tap would have helped.

                        I'm going into a race here in about 15 minutes. I'm using someone else's setup, I ran about 20 laps with it in practice and all of them were in the 31's and I could keep it pretty stable. I'm not the fastest but I'm not spinning off so I'm happy.

                          Might just be different driving styles but the backend with the setup never felt comfortable for me, especially in corners. Could be me getting into the corners harder than I should compared to the other setup I use?

                          The setup I keep going back to was done by Lee-Bob Waltrip

                          I think I can get into the 30.8/.9 range if I can roll in perfect.

                            Just had an awesome race, started 8th, ran 4th-6th all day long, not pushing it at all. We were all saving fuel to get to the end, but a yellow came out with 15 to go, we all pit, i came out 2nd, fell to 3rd with 10 to go, and got back up to 2nd coming to the white flag. It was awesome. nice 255 points for 2nd place! Will post a video of the last 15 in a bit.

                            Here is the link to the results (if you have iRacing)

                                Here is something that should help, from the last restart to the finish with my throttle and brakes, I am pushing it really really hard here, so that is why i am so loose and entering so hard at the start of the run, and end of the run.

                                30.5 was all draft, the car i was drafting was drafting, and the leader was drafting a lap car, which made alot of speed.
