According to article here http://www.bustawrench.com/iracing/iracing-dallara-indycar-setup-guide-road it's true what you said, but only for front end ... But think set ARB to 1 makes car rear more stable.

Yeah I'm not sure about that. That guide is so old that the settings seem to be somewhat different at least regarding ARB. But I did some changes to my setup and it is much more stable now, I will upload it to the setup section in a second.

Maybe Scott can tell us for sure if there is any difference . I guess on telemetry you can see that .

Good job Cyril. My advice is never stop racing if your car is not damaged to much. You can get some nice points till the end of the race, and your iRating drops less if you finish the race instead of leaving it

Actually my car was a little damaged after i touched the wall, so i had to pit, and stupidly, as i didn't know if they do repair when you pit normally, i got towed at the enter of pitlane:
*lost 1 min...
*they didn't repair anything

but the car was handling fine again, must have been a problem with the tire.

btw: do they make repair if you pit without towing and have damages ?

just after my accident i thought, damn, i'gonna loose a lot of irating, so stupid !!!

with P6 i gained +15 irating and +15 SR

if i had stopped i would have lost aroud -76 irating and don't how much SR....

that's a 91 irating difference !!

If damage is small (not suspension ) they fixed it in pit. You just have to wait extra time . If you damaged suspension ,engine then they cannot repair it. The only difference between tow and driving to the pit is time. But in general if you cannot drive to the pits, the car wouldn't be fixed either way. Except if session is set to fast tow (never in official race, but we have it in ARL). In that case no matter how much the car is damaged they fixed everything and after pit the car is like new

Nico will host tonight test race. Cyril and i have already registered for it.

It was nice race. Now i know that i'm stuck @ 1.18 on race trim and can go into 1.17.4 in Q.
Not to good pace but new track and luck of time to practice prevent me to do any better.

Saso did you try my new setup? Its much more stable now. In fact it was even too understeery with race fuel.

a good race !

i'm so glad to be almost able to fight with you in race ! it's a good feeling !

Nope, not yet. I race tonight with your old setup. The only thing i changed was
- front wing -0.5
- 1st gear little higher gear ration
- soften rear , but that was mistake i guess, because i have a lot of problem in fast turns
- rear ARB from none to 16mm

Will try your new setup tomorrow before the race and if suits me i will use it. Damn i miss Scott's setup. They suits me just like they were made for me .Yours are damn fast too. But I guess our driving style is different so my adoption to your setups takes longer for me.

Man you are flying Few weeks ago you are more then 2 sec per lap slower then us, know you are within 1 sec. You made really good progress !

Yeah nice going Cyril!

Thank you twice !

Yes thank you for the compliment ;-) but thank you too for your help ! from all of you guys !
Even if most part came from Saso ;-) beware i will call you soon "my mentor" :-p

but one thing is certain: all the result of the work made to be faster is really rewarding ! it's so much different race at the end, trying not to disturb the leaders, trying not to do mistakes... and when you feel that you are almost there, almost able to fight for Top 5, the adrenaline in the race is different ! what's good is that the faster you are, the more confident you become, the more competitive you become !

...and more fun you have

yes ;-) i wanted to write it and forgot...

saso i had no choice: i had to learn fast. otherwise you would have difficulties justifying my recruitment when i was slow in front of the end of the season board meeting .... :-p

Hehe, good point It's more fun practice with team mates, share setup just to see what solution they are using and compare it to yours, it's a big + if you have some one like Scott in the team who really understand telemetry, etc... After all it's more fun if you race with people who has similar pace to yours. Race has to be racing with other drivers, not time... if you know what i mean

I have been hit by a black car.... who could it be ???

It was I.. Lecrec Damn, i break to late and touch you just enough to spin you around. Sorry m8. Don't know how but in that collide i managed to somehow broke my steering, so the whole race i have to turn wheel a little to go straight.
Sorry again !
