To be honest, yesterday I just drove without any timing shown onscreen. I don't know how I did a 1:43.7nice to see us rookie team are on pace with each other .

Think i fluked my time, was stuck for ages on 1.44'sTo be honest, yesterday I just drove without any timing shown onscreen. I don't know how I did a 1:43.7
That was again a good practice. Thx guys.
Next session is on Sunday, this time with some night racing. Start is somewhere around 17 GMT for 4 hours.
there is no reason ro practice with old tires. the DP is refueling and changing tires at the same timeOh well practice is rather going disappointing for me...
Did in total about 70 laps (in a night session), best with super fresh tires was a 1:38.4. After only a few laps I drop a whole second and can hardly stay in the low 39s. But the real "fun" is starting at the end of the fuel and after the re-fuel. I haven't done much practice with weak tires, but after re-fueling it's a struggle to stay below the 40s. (Track temp was around 24 °C when I stopped practice)
More than 80% of my times loss compared to my best lap happens during turn 5 (corner before the corner onto the back-straight) and turn 6 (corner onto the backstraight). The cornering with used tires feels terrible there and I loose about .40 seconds each. Doesn't matter if I take it as smooth as I can or pushing it and trying to hold the car together, I just loose a LOT of time there. Do you guys in the DP experience the same or is it me being super awful at these corners?
Another thing... I used the V2 setup (which is a really good setup) but with used tires I managed to spin while braking and I wasn't really locking up a lot. I gave it 2 or 3 clicks to the front brake bias and it was fine again. Does it save the new brake bias now for the whole car (so I have to go 2-3 clicks to the rear again when I get placed into the car) or does it load up the original bias again?
Anyway, I hope I can do more practice with you guys again and see where I can improve.
you can change the BB during the race, so not everyone has to drive with the same settings. Not sure if you can see it in the display of the chevy, but you can check it with F6 i thinkI gave it 2 or 3 clicks to the front brake bias and it was fine again. Does it save the new brake bias now for the whole car (so I have to go 2-3 clicks to the rear again when I get placed into the car) or does it load up the original bias again?

you can change this in the Iracing team by setting the number aswell for car liveryBy the way we settled for #42
Interesting session that. I feel we're getting closer alright, but damn look at that lap by Miguel. Thar be some magic going on!
