Setup in the usual place.  So far good for my usual 6th place in RSR and a few tenths of the WR.  Not sure how it will go on the tyres though as the front is fairly stiff with a bit extra camber.

Will give it a crack on the server soon, I ran a few laps a couple days ago and struggled with my setup so will see 8f it helps me or its just my driving lol.

Yeah, 1.55.2 is my best so far, but there is at least another couple of tenths in it as I got a bit sloppy on a couple of corners.

Actualy I think guybrush is taking the words pickup server a little too literal, that rash everyone else mentioned too but once you left everyone was fine and rash free.

I've noticed there's a car-kicker bottoming up bump between 6 and 7 sometimes. It'd be worth checking your ride heights.

Guybrush has found a even bigger kicker at turn 14

AKA the kerb there? That's a bumpy part of the track, that chicane.

That bump seams to be just on the wide line of turn 6 so best to hold a tight line which will also give you a better line into the next corner. If your too wide on 6 you hit the bump unsettle the car and are also going to be too tight for 7 losing speed on the exit.

Guybrush's bump is the big grass hill he renamed the superman jump, it really is his kriptonite as he has spent quite a bit of time trying to perfect his landing.

I need to make a clip from last night. Marty in front is me. From over head I see a abarth flying over me and lands directly on top of Marty. I sail through for the victory. Even if it wasn't the last lap

Did everyone see Guybrush's first race in the GP3's at Spa. At least we also know his real name now Constantine Tareschenko  ;D

Ahhhh, what the heck is going on, are we using formula abarth or dtm? I've been working on my setup all day for abarth, and it also looks like now i'm out of the race series?

Last round of Abarth at Nurburgring tomorrow, not sure if your a reserve or main starter Wally can confirm that for you but we have only been getting 20-21 starters this season so there should be a spot on the night.
