I must apologise to Rooshooter, the Mrs was watching some Gerard Butler movie tonight, so i saw the opportunity to cut some laps :)

I jumped in the practice server and saw Rooshooter was cutting some laps, i thought it would be a good opportunity to figure out how the multiplayer screens worked, i clicked on his name and could see him running around the track, but from a side view, i saw a button at the end of his name, thinking it was a camera button, i clicked it.... NOPE, it was a "Kick from Server" Button  :o Sorry Roo, i didn't know how to cancel it... I promise i wont do it again....

I have been playing with setups, it is very weird, i get a setup that drives nice, feels responsive and i loose a second!! Run default which drives poorly and am much faster!! How is the tyre model in AC, do i need to get a few laps to build temp or after the out lap are you pretty good to go??

We've all had that "what does this button do?" moment :)
It takes a few laps for the tyres to get up to temp.  There areapps you can ddownload which show you tyre temps etc. Look for "mini apps" on the official forums. .That's one of the best. There are also good apps to tell you if your FFB is clipping, which is important for good feel.

Rpo. That was good practice with Rooshooter. It works best when you click that button next to Marty's name. We all do it. Never gets old.

I wondered what happened and I could not rejoin either. Do not worry,I was not offended and my driving was becoming erratic anyway,
too many Sunday night beers. I also have noticed a setup that feels good is not necessarily the fastest. I am still 5 seconds off the pace and I have no idea which part of the track I am slow on or if I am just slow :(

Just cut a few laps with Rpo, we both are a little bamboozled with the car and setups but I reckon there must be some sort of black magic tweak somewhere that will transform the car......

Thanks Bruce for the super quick service of adding me to the server list.
