I just did a 22.6 and it listed it as the fastest lap in the 427 around Watkins...Thanks for the help Logged CheersSteve Bird Administrator Hero Member Posts: 2318 Karma: -666 Ysu Re: Cobra Cup Round 6 (Final) at Watkins Glen NASCAR Prac server UP « Reply #7 on: November 21, 2014, 04:40:40 PM » It maybe a placebo effect that rear end...but that's why I don't really like playing with the springs. It can have weird effects if you don't follow it with other parts of the suspension, since it lowers the rear, and changes the frequency of the suspension.Rollbar is better for these sort of things, generally.But if it's good as it is, that's the best!

Seems like suspension changes are now for personal preference and perhaps to tune for a specific track rather than outright pace as before?

NOPE, it was a "Kick from Server" Button 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??
