Title: S21R5: Mills Metropark Race Chat
Post by: Wally on March 20, 2018, 11:17:27 PM
Mar 27: Mills Metropark (http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/mills-metropark.7222/) (2 x 20 laps) + [ SEANUS PIT MOD  (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1384qp-Z42T05pHWVQKvpLySICUquDbZV/view)]

Weather will be warm to hot, 25 degrees and 30 degrees and clear.

Instead of penalty ballast, I'll give Jeremy and Russ 30% restrictor for the round (because of the BoP ballast in race 2). Should amount to less than a 10 second penalty over the whole race.

I'm between Mael and Killa in the season standings, and these are our practice lap times so far... it's going to be interesting, although I expect Mael to pick up the pace.

Yeah, looks like that :-)
I didn't know Croft, but I've raced Mills quite a few times before and apart from tweaking the setup a bit (again, it's a weird car to me, but nonetheless fun to drive) I think I learned a bit better how to drive it.
See how we go...probably very difficult to overtake there...and I'm not so sure the sharp left-hand turn after the long straight is a good spot...

I think you'll be passing people there when they overshoot their braking point and run wide.


I think what's a bit counter-intuitive about this car setup is that I have increased the front rollbar quite a bit to get a sharper turn-in (which is actually what the setup tip in game says for front rollbar).

Yes, I've increased mine as well.

I have my daughter college awards night on Tuesday, she finished in the top 0.7% of the state  8) ;D and I will miss this round :(, I think it will be my first missed Tuesday since racing at XGN
slight chance could make it for race 2, but I doubt it

I am not 100% certain I can make it tonight. I will update shortly, I hurt my back yesterday and today I can't sit on a chair for too long.
Going to see the doctor for some pain relief.

That's no good, you don't realise how much a sore back slows you down until it happens

Thanks Phil.8. I have notice all the time because I get backlock all the time.

I'm gonna sound like a nitpicker BUT If you're going to quote someone especially someone as remarkable as Stephen please do the whole quote.

"........Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen.

Don't think I'll make tonight despite doing a little practice and trying to not completely hate the car... I have a job interview tomorrow after doing very little for the last 6 months so I need to do some reading and get my head back into work mode!
