I haven't turned a lap since Tuesday night so will have some catching up to do tonight... stuck at work  I'll check out GBs setup to get a base, but they tend to be too loose for me.

Congrats Marty and podium getters!
I was never comfortable with my set because I downloaded and based it off the wrong RSR setup lol
Anyway quickly put together a butchered set in practice with medium downforce so as not to lose too much on the straight but to get around the corners comfortably for the race. It felt good.
Qual 1: Chucked the softs on to try to get some extra speed and it worked well, this long session was good for others and I ended up in 9th spot behind Wally, happy with that as I knew I could be consistent with my safe race set.
Race 1: Start was a bit of a shambles with Wally and I coming together at the start due to the car infront not starting. But I put my head down and churned out some good laps gaining a few spots upto 8th, but then a mistake or two saw me lose a couple positions and I just couldn't get past Glen being super cautious just to finish the race but put a bit of pressure on to try and force a mistake.
Qual 2: I learnt from previous races that you need to be on the server and getting those laps in because time is precious. I was pretty much the first one on the server and out on the track coming around for my flyer when others were exiting the pits. Got blocked by someone who had just left the pits on the straight and coming up to the first corner so that lap was ruined. Was running very low fuel and softs to get the advantage so had to pit and start again. Luckily the next lap was good enough to get 2nd, there was no way I was going to beat Marty and his low 1.45 lol
Race 2: Had a really weird start, the car seemed to bog down even though I was holding it to the floor. This gave Bird the opportunity to get past and Mopz was fast approaching. The track was slipperier than I remembered so a few mistake saw Mopz get past me as well until I misjudged his braking spot at Acque Minerali locked em up and went into the back of him, sorry again mate. I wasn't expecting you on the brakes so soon. You had better pace than me and my goal was to try to stick with you. After that it was great racing coming from 18th to 8th. Had some great luck at Tosa sneaking past about 3-4 cars on the inside as they battled it out amongst themselves,. but ended up making a mistake and finishing 10th.
Overall a great nights racing, really good fun, looking forward to Mugello and those curbs!

I've just realised that I'll be away for work next Tuesday night Wally, so someone can take my spot while I'm on the Gold Coast sitting by the pool 
Play AC by ze pool? 4G could be more stable than your wifi

Great fun but also very frustrating night for me lol
I knew I didn't have the same pace as the front runners so hoped for the best for qual. Ended up near the back and got caught in the mess that was Phil standing still on the grid. Was pretty pissed and so made the most of catching up to people and spinning lots as my head wasn't clear. WIll need to watch the replay to see where I went wrong on that one.
2nd qual was very bad, ended up 2nd last on the grid and thought OK let's not get caught up in anything this time so took it extra cautious and somehow managed to miss most of the action except for taking myself out and spinning trying to avoid a pile up. I put my head down and started catching people and actually making passes or passing as they made mistakes. Had some good times trying to pass Freezer but that low df setup worked too well on the straights.
Sorry to Dave O for the bumps,, didn't realise how fast I was gaining in the corners, I think the time I took you out half the field went through, sorry mate! I redressed later on but it was unfortunately already too late. One thing that sucks using chase cam is the lack of judgment of the front of the car and no mirrors since the virtual one is very deceiving and out of proportion etc...

Awesome track, WR is a 1.42.something? Got into the 46s last night after some practice with Marty going over lines and braking points and tweaking a nice setup. A good balance of downforce is definitely needed not to lose out on the straight but then keep the speed up though the twisty stuff and the suspension has to handle going over the curbs and bumps without bottoming out, I think I've found a happy medium with what little testing I've done.

Not too late to submit a skin is it? I'll have mine ready at about 5pm, it'll be named "insomniac" so you can chuck that in the entry list Wally, if that's OK.

Hmm my fronts are on about 10-11 psi, so I better raise them, but now I don;t want to play with my setup anymore haha. I'm running nearly max of 17deg wing on the front. It turns good, bit loose at the start but then starts understeering as the laps progress. I think I'm just going to adapt and drive conservative to avoid any incidents and spins.
