Good setup thoughts and tips, Guybrush.

Server's up.

In the long race, the track will take a little longer to reach 100% grip (7 or 8 laps).

Big apologies to GW for that shunt, it was a really stupid mistake (not the only one that race!).
I have very poorly anticipated the extra brake-distance needed due to the speed gained from hiding behind Wally's big metal plus the lessened grip. 
I hope I didn't completely ruin your race!

I have made a mistake on L1 too, going into T1 but that time I came through clean, even if a bit shaken. Then got a bit side swept by someone going towards T2 but that was no biggie.     It was an eventful race.

But apart from that, I had a ripper of a race trying to work my way back up the field!

Here is a video showing the Wally train for the last 3 laps of race 2, I also noticed using Guybrush's dummy setup didn't help me trying to get past Wally. The top speed on that was 233kmh where as the one he used on the nite was getting 243kmh according to RSR.  ;)

The video should be viewable in 1080p/60 once its finished encoding.

Surprised you didn't lengthen the gears for the race Marty... although you were only just hitting the limiter.

I found the shorter gears better for hot-lapping, but ran my race setup during qual.  During practice I ran my qual setup (the one you were using) and was another couple of tenths quicker.

I think the only things I changed for the race were longer gears and brake bias.

That video looked great btw.  You should post it on the AC forums as a reason why ballast/handicap is good.  In fact the data for those races is a good reason - take out some outlying data and the qualifying field was only a couple of second apart.

Great stuff, Marty. I didn't realise there was such a train behind my fat ol' Merc!

Thanks guys but I really didn't do much other then save the replay, record it then upload it. Had some good drivers to help fill the frame and a real nice looking sim to show itself off a little.  ;D
