Roger. Maybe we can meet tonight for a talk/practice session together? I should be online around 7:30-8:00

That should work!

@Nismo maybe i won't make it. I just had a car accident on my way home. Nothing serious, a truck rear-ended me in stop-and-go. I am fine but waiting for the police now...

I am so sorry @grobi0815, I really wanted to drive this race, but I won't.
This tire model is frustration pure, did 2 IMSA races and the car just snaps unpredictably (especially last corner, but not only) - I really don't want to drive something that I don't feel comfortable with. It either snaps or it just goes straight, no warning - for the snapping I tried to go 1.5% BB forwards, which helped reduce it, but then I have more understeer moments.
When it starts to go on the rear, only catchable at low speed, at higher ones, no matter what I do, the car says bye-bye.

As someone already noticed, it works quite well for high downforce cars, literally no problems for me in the LM-P1s, but this is unrealistic for GTEs or GT3s. Until they change that, GTs are off-limits to me.

No confidence in the car at all, I most likely would crash several times, so I rather not race and not get frustrated. Again big apologizes to you guys for saying I will, but have to say after extensive testing that I don't want to anymore.

That would be what I said @Blue Monkey yesterday

Do you usee irFFB ? I didnt because i did not know that app was there but it helps great for DD bases imo in iRacing.

Thx for the heads up and of course, it's only worth to drive, if you have full confidence in the car.

Yep

I use DD1 and the recommended settings from Fanatec.
F3, LM-P1s, Indycar, oval trucks/nascar, GTEs on v6 have all very good FFB, near rF2. But v7 on GT3s, and in this case with max downforce, FFB still works fine, it is the tires that are the problem imo. I mean I hear right left center from people that GTEs and GT3s have gone to shit.

Hmm well i dont like the recommended settings from fanatec and use irffb gave me much more feedback then iracing itself i can catch the car way sooner now and find more limits. Just try it maybe you like it and its easy install. It gave me more confidence so thats what you are looking for maybe its not the car but the ffb.
