After screwing up Le Mans, I did a run and got a 1:41.6. I got a brilliant set up and I should knock about 1-2 seconds off in the next few days.

Perhaps you could add a practice lap times bit in your op daza? and re-name the thread to "Road America Practice Times" or something?

I've only started today but I did a 2:00.4...

Just did a 10 lap run, managed a 1:41.248 set on lap 10. Not sure how fast that is compared to others yet though

Not sure what it is or if it's dangerous but I've only done it once and I thought Sesame Street was downstairs.

I had a few laps around Road America earlier and managed 1.40.5** Which was using the Nurburgring GP setup...i`ll have to tinker with the gears I think....not too sure!

I think there will be a few of us LMP1 drivers around the same pace so there is potential for a good race.... B-)

I know I have the grip and everything! It's just I need to watch over revving my engine on the high speed corners other than that everything is going really well.

Hi Dave, these are good times but remember that we don't run our LMP cars with all available mods ! On the Porsche for example, I have the restrictors removed but I have to run rims that are 44lbs heavier than stock !

I look forward to racing with you, I hope you'll run Road Am since Le Mans was too long for all you old men..... :P

That could be a real issue for you, you might be quick in qualifying but in the race your tyres might go off. I had no issue with tyres overheating....

I did a run and after 10 laps I had yellow showing on my outer rear tyres so I'm getting a few problems myself -_- I can reach 1:40.5 so all is good right now

Im curious, I'd imagine places like Road Atlanta and also the Nurburgring were bad races for the Porsche, with all it's self-harming of it's own suspension and stuff??

Also in GT2 we are having different issues with the tyres, personally mine are all working fine, but I know Jonny's weren't heating up quick enough...

Also a 2.00.098 is my best, can't remember if I had mentioned that lol... Since then I have made a humungous change and the results are really positive, my best today has been a 2.00.958 :)

It's going well :P
