Yeah, the R31 drives better for me, gave it a bash Sunday and last night. Feels easier to catch, tested the Volvo out too. But I’m more consistent with the R31.

I also sent my best time to Brent last night for Eastern Creek.
Not sure if there is some settings I’m missing in SP, but this is on par with the best times from last week’s race. Not saying I’ll be able to hang with you guys now but I’m a bit more optimistic.
I also changed a bit of my driving style after watching the Grip video on Driver61(I’m veeeeeery slowly going through all of them), I think this helped quite a bit.

Yeah maybe some of the SP stuff is different to the server setup. But those guys with those times also had ballast.
Edit: Ah, the SP defaults to 0 wind. that’s the problem lol.
The server is running Phillip Island at the moment and has a couple times posted, go test your might!
Unlike Mr @aldyr I have to work. I’ll see if I can sneak in a lap or two. Otherwise I have to ma wait till tonight.

Thanks, my internet and racing rig is fully battery backed up, nothing else in my house is. Priorities, you see.
We have plenty of flashlights, and the wife has a laptop with decent battery, and the baby monitor is using batteries anyway, so we don’t really need anything else.

I had to test different UPS devices for a client, and was left with one that didn’t meet their specs. So I built a battery box with 5 year old discarded UPS batteries*, and ended up with a completely free deep cycle backup. Wouldn’t have spent money on this either!
*Old batteries generally still work, they just don’t have the as-new capacity. So I used double the number of batteries you would normally need, but for a ‘free’ system that doesn’t matter.

Might tested after 3 laps in the wrong car then 3 laps in the R31.
1:50:534, so a whole 4s off Aldyrs(meaning my Eastern Creek time is defs a fluke, but I’m sure I used to be 10s off you guys) time but 3s better than Gregs. Not sure if Greg had any proper practice but that’s the time I see for him.
Anyways, we will find out tongiht.
