| Oh well, another week another 3 sec of the pace :S I have made first few laps with Interlagos setup since Canada didn't seems to be the right choice for this week. 1.36.something was the best so far with Q fuel.. optimal is down to 1.35.xxx but it's combination of few laps and i'm not sure if i will be close to that soon P.S. : I have to somehow learn that damn telemtry tools so i will lose less time with setup changes (read: guessing what to change for how much) - Attachments

| Man, with the new tires and my new pedals I am starting to love this car Still need to find some more speed, but I'm getting there. Drove for an hour tonight and was getting down to low/mid 36's at the end of some 8/9 lap runs. I think with Q fuel and some more practice I'll be able to get to mid/high 35's. Starting setup is linked below, still a bit too understeer in high speed for my taste but it's quite stable. http://www.4shared.com/file/AnYVpsTQ/RAm13s3_wip2.html | |

| The car is now really good. But I haven't found to much time to practice lately (playing guitar after few years and learning Hendrix tricks takes most of my free time) so I'm still at low/mid 36's with 15kg of fuel. I will try tonight to do some more laps and i hope i will bring the time down to 35's. But first i have to found out what's the problem with my setup because when i reach grip limit in the middle of the corner my car begins to bounce like crazy I guess just looking at your suppension setup will solve my problem right away | |

| Thank's for advice Scott ! On race setup I lower read end of the car and make it stiffer. Now i run with 20 mm in front and 52 mm ride height at the rear, I also change camber to -1.1. Result... 1st and 3rd sector was faster with race fuel (64l) then it was before with Q fuel (15l)... After 3-4 laps i can now drive low 37's soo tonight when i will made those changes to Q setup i hope i willl finally dig into 35's . | |

| wow, some times i wonder why i even bother trying to race anymore. felt good all week in practice, tried qualifying and couldn't manage a lap close to as good as practice, then put myself out of the race on the first lap without anyone else even near me. holy shit i suck | |

| Ehh don't worry. You are doing ok ... This car is now fun but you still need quite a lot of practice before you are consistent and fast at the same time... | |

| F.... ! I could have such a great race if i didn't messed up with fuel on pitstop :S Instead 70+30 i had 70+25, so after few laps after pitstop when i saw what i did it was just fuel saving race for me :S | |
