Re: 2014 - AACL Winter GT Series
Righty hit on a good idea of encouraging MP Race practice given the issues we had in Rd 1;
So what's everyone's thoughts on having the practice server set up for the next combo as just 5 lap (random grid) races with no prac or qual?

Re: 2014 - AACL Winter GT Series
Probably a very good idea.
Getting used to racing close online is a skill not easy to attain, the more practice, the better!
Will it be passworded, so that just ARSE members are on?

Re: 2014 - AACL Winter GT Series
Bloody hell. Seeing that I looped the thing about 40 times in round 1, I'll take that. Must keep the practice going for the next round. I don't love the McLaren at silverston. Hopefully I can get a setup that's easier to drive consistently.

PS If this was LFS, I'd probably be going soft on the front and medium at the back.

I went hard and they took too deep into the race for me to have any grip. I had meant to run Medium's.....

I mentioned to norbs this morning I wish the ARB's were mappable for in-race adjustments... to help with the slippery last few laps.

I ran on whatever is on the default set. I got 13 laps or so before the understeer meant that I had to brake a lot earlier for the corners. It seemed perfectly manageable to me.
