Yeah, I know I can get faster. I will probably run more laps after the NASCAR race. And with the track being pretty much wide open everyone should be pretty close time wise, gonna be a fun race.

Had another little go at lunch today - 1:08.225 so far.

I'm running 29.5 in front and back, I got down to a 1:09.401 or something like that but the car definitely has more speed.

Yeah I only put up my fastest clean lap. And no I didn't touch the roll bars and the differential can help you gain a huge amount of time. And I should say the CCRO Green is who I got my setup from so I just want to say thank you to both Green and Dharmabum Dave for all their help in the tuning department, without you two guys I would be finishing in the bottom half of the field every week.

With Road Atlanta its essential to keep the engine revs up and therefore speed on the corners that lead into hills, that and as said before minimising slip / scrub.

I have a question... do I get the little stop watch thingy on my profile? It's not a big deal and all... it just looks cool.

No. A 0:00.0 is a hell of a lot quicker than a 1:45.333. ; )

Hahaha whatever, I should still get it!

Can anyone give me some tuning tips for Road Atlanta? I can't get below 1:11...

Ran 20 laps tonight and was able to swing a 1:09.893

I don't think is so much the tune as getting the corners right.
I can't make Friday practice unless I happen to be back in time for the last hour.
The first corner is vital and also it is important to take enough speed into the long right hander... You can just about enter at 97mph and leave at about 95mph, this results is the straight being much faster.

Just a reminder that there will be an official practice tonight at Road Atlanta Club from 7:00pm-9:00pm (EASTERN) / 11:00pm-1:00am (GMT)

Hope to see you there!

Send Mr BL0NDE 27 a friend request on live. He will give you the run down when he gets a chance.

Glad you've joined us, Paul! We might be able to squeeze you in on Saturday!
Fri 21 Mar 2014, 23:20
A 1:09 isn't a bad lap. Will you be able to make the practice tonight Paul?
Sat 22 Mar 2014, 00:40
The practice lobby is now open - session 1 will start in 20 minutes.
