More toe out front and a little more toe in rear. Sway Bar front and rear 4.

Video will follow

 

Video uploaded, sd is ready but HDS might take a minute.

 

I personally prefer the ‘best 1 lap’ in a hot stint over normal hot lapping, just seems to suit the game more. But I don’t mind the occasional short hot stint - but then I’m influenced by injury, hence the short, so may be a little bias.

Very small improvement, although I am a little more consistent on this go - 2:03 has to be next!

 

And the British GT pack will arrive on console on the 28th April - for any future planning you may have.

 

Reminds me that i seriously need to spend some time on those three tracks!!! Lucky for me the PC version got them a while back.

Absolutely love Oulton, completed many a lap on my old ZX9R and ‘weekend’ car. Obviously all before kids, now it’s all just a distant memory. Sigh!

 

I'd love to do track the Audi but with it being my only car the risk is great if i drop it. And our local track nearby is in Topeka and it has an infamous corner that kills cars if you crash.

Once i get a new car the current one will become a weekend track toy.

But the house purchase will be finalized by May 3rd so then ill be upgrading from apartment living to a 3 car garage house. So I'll have plenty of wrench time coming up

 

Would that be Heartland by any chance?

I do still have a weekend car, just not the same one anymore and totally useless on the track - it would probably blow up in all honesty considering it’s age.

 

Yup, it sure is heartland park.

My car just hit 245,000 miles. Shes getting old!!

 

Wow, that's some mileage.

My little one has 21,000 on the clock but it's from 1998 with a very fragile italian engine, hence the old.

Made up time in the middle sector but lost time in the first and last. Dammit

LocalMan is getting too close!!!

Video is up as well.

Im hoping GoodGame will join in on the ACC fun to see how slow i really am!!!!

 

Yeah i bought her in 2013 with 147k miles on her. Been my daily ever since. Its a 2005.5 model year A4. She's been pretty good to me but i always worry about her.

Bathurst is like riding a wild horse i guess - and this feels like riding a lot of horses out of control most of the times

Dropped rear wing to 3, diff back to 70, raised rear end 1mm, dropped front 1 mm

I think im about maxed out on talent. Theres definitely a 6 in there but im struggling to make it happen.

Im definitely on a first name basis wit ha few of the walls around here.

Speaking of 6's lol.

I dont know where this came from but it felt good all the way through!!!! I felt like "this is a low 1.6 for sure!!!"

I still cant come near your middle sector, not sure what sort of big balls you have but mine apparently do not compare.

I think i'm done with this challenge. Been working hard on it. If you come back and beat me now Jo i'll come to your house and turn of your power lol.

Thanks guys for pushing me to improve here! I think we are collectively making each other better day by day.

I started with a tune from the setup market by rynos raceroom. I noticed that it seemed pretty stiff, so I adjusted the arb's and bump and dampers. I fiddled with the psi, and fuel. Once I got the temp set to 10C, I was able to improve my time by about a second.
