i sat down tonight and worked on it, loaded some different tunes and figured out what worked best now i feel a little bit better. just takes time. then when you get back in shape, thats when the endurance training starts. gotta do long stints. then need to get used to running with slower traffic. more than 1 test session would be advocated. or at least doing some sort of formal running. |

I'll be looking to do a 1/2 hour practice session with A.I. GT cars to get me back into passing GT traffic in the coming days. Been a while since I've done any Le Mans racing, And this will be the first time I've driven an LMP1 car since the TORA 24 last year.

Looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of a prototype. As much as I love GT racing, prototypes are really where I belong.

Sure, PM me the tune and I'll have a look at it. How does the car feel when driving? Are you getting all the power down consistently without the car snapping? |

I feel like it doesn't come out of the turns with all it's power and when I do try to get all of it the car wants to break loose. The tune I have on it now is the one I've gotten my fastest time with and every time I make an adjustment the times get slower |

That's probably where you're losing time. I actually use TCS just for consistency's sake, incase I'm off line or have to move about which in race situations will be often. Your car thrives off of acceleration so you want it nailed to the deck so you can slow in and fast out but if the tune's not helping you do that then you're pissing away time ![]() As I said, PM me what you've got and I'll see what I can do
