PLEASE NOTE:

Room placements will be based on my opinion that will be based on previous events you have taken part in. If its your first event it just goes on what I think.

Just been doing a few laps with a few drivers and they asked "Why Full AERO"

The reason is for the novice drivers who don't have to sacrifice speed to get a handle on the car. This way the new guys can go full aero without been punished on the straights by more advance drivers who don't need it.

If your an Advanced driver you need to use your skill to win and not little perks of been good at racing (Unless novice drivers are using assists etc)

Don't forget as long as everyone sticks to the rules the field should always be pretty close on lap times which should = close racing. smiley

Didn't stop me binning it on the last turn at RA and crossing the line backwards 21  What sort of times are you guys getting on RA Club? With my restricted internet the last few weeks I have no idea if I'm anywhere near race pace as it's all been offline!

lol, the closest i came is within 1 second per lap to old school out of all the races we did.

Having said that, once i know the tracks and gearing im sure i can bring it to just under a second a lap lol

You could put me out front with a 10 second headstart, attatch a dodgems style rubber band around my car and i still wouldnt finish near you 2 lol.

 

Although i did beat old school last night, and if he tells you it was only because he went the wrong way he's totally lying and was blown off the track by my pure speed blush

hey man, what are we allowed to tune on these?  Anything other than the downforce (using required parts obviously)

As long as the final gear ratio and downforce meet the requirements you can tune everything else.
