Practice server setup for Sunday 27, at 8pm EST
server name "DBF Motorsports Practice" usual password

Hey guys,
I have been busy with some family in town and they are leaving tonight. Thus, I haven't turned a lap here yet. What times were you guys running so I can know what to expect. I am going to work on my set up tonight. Did you guys alter the Charlotte set up? Mod a base set up?

Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

Eduardo ran a 30.9, most guys were in the low 31s, yours truly ran a best of 31.7 :-(

I used the default Chicago set, which like a lot of the iRacing setups now is a very good starting point. Didn't tweak much but the others I am sure did. I tried a Tom Mosley set which appeared much faster but I could get comfortable in it.

also, and for everyone, don't forget to use tradingpaints , phenomenal tool and great for getting your paint scheme in.

cheers Francesco.

FWIW I hit a 31.1?? without touching the basic setup. Seemed to get tight fast though. I could have been over driving it as its been along time since I have turned any laps.

Thanks Francesco! I will download a set from the forums and try that if the default isn't to my liking, but they are usually much too loose for me as a starting point. I find it much easier to loosen up a tight set up rather than try and tighten up a loose one.

Going to throw a 2 hour practice server up in like 10-15 min. Same password as always.

Going to try my hardest to make this race just a question why aren't we racing at Dover like the Cup cars this weekend?

Indeed, using the calendar iRacing, and really helps us be better prepared!

Out to save hosts for training, rsrsrrs

Damage caused under yellow conditions to other cars is considered an incident and also if you are at fault you should tell everyone you caused the yellow or were in an incident.
