This gives them a little bit of a leg up in terms of lap times for better parity, and the ballast slows them down in corners but doesn't make the top speed suffer as much as the restrictor (thanks Seanus for the suggestion).In only a few laps each on default setup and a full tank, I did a 1:20.1 in the long tail, and a 1:20.8 in the short tail.As a consequence, I'll also make the fuel multiplier 1.35x. « Last Edit: November 22, 2018, 11:00:53 PM by Wally » Logged “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11035 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: S25R3: Atlanta Journal-Constitution Grand Prix at Road Atlanta 2017 « Reply #2 on: November 24, 2018, 08:01:57 AM » I've only just reset the practice server to 1.35 x fuel, so if you've done fuel calcs based on laps prior to now, please re-check.(you'll be able to do 1.11x more laps on a tank compared to before).

But then they also have a much quicker pit stop.

But then they also have a much quicker pit stop.I just did a few laps and was doing comparable times to the short tails. This track is a shit load of fun in this car though pushing hard I only manage a few laps before I write the car off Logged Phil.8 RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 4158 Karma: 62 Δ8 Re: S25R3: Atlanta Journal-Constitution Grand Prix at Road Atlanta 2017 « Reply #7 on: November 25, 2018, 08:42:36 PM » what wing you running ?

I'm 3 seconds off the pace In the laps I did I found pace in a few places. T1 you can take a lot faster than I originally thought. I brake just before the cones and not for too long then swing in what feels early to hit the apex. Getting a good exit on the tight right onto the back straight can easily make 0.5 sec. Also on my fastest laps I was completely flat through the last two corners which can be risky!

I think the best I can hope for is that the faster guys crash and burn, and slow but steady wins the race.
