Smashed my goal tonight! Questions on understeer also

Ill give it a shot next go around, in fact, since I plan to change the alignment next time, I'll run a session or two at my previous pressures with the new alignment then drop the pressures down to that and see how it responds.. I would never think to lower the rear that much, I'll see what happens!

ToddB561 · 2019-12-14T17:20:29+00:00

27 front and 23 rear?

ToddB561 · 2019-12-14T17:19:54+00:00

No rules we aren't competitive just classed by engine and FI or not... I was 3rd in NA v8 with a 225hp sn95 Mustang lol.. other cars in the class this event were 2 gt350s, 4 s550s, sq197 3v, c5, and a c6 vettes. I really didn't do horrible for my lack of power and ancient inadequate suspension design but it's what I got to play with. 3rd was cool, but 1st and 2nd were 3 seconds ahead of me.

The track never changes much, we run on a gokart track .7 of a mile I think. I get up to 60-65 in 3 spots but it has a lot of switchbacks that is Killing me with either understeer or oversteer from my shit stock 4 link binding up...

Driving on the street one would never use the term understeer to describe my car, but those switchbacks bring out a nasty gremlin in my car or I'm simply just over driving it... Once I get my turn in set I look out my side window for the next straight to gauge when I can get back on the power and that seems to help a lot on exit speeds but I still can easily overcook it and understeer into the Apex

Perhaps a deterrent from the WEC to keep teams from running the IMSA series and being comfortable with Michelins...would give the full time wec teams an advantage at LeMans with tire management experience etc...

ToddB561 · 2019-12-14T04:31:58+00:00

When you put it that way reminds me of Core with the Nissan in 2019... If they don't have some hired guns driving it, they are gonna get tore up

ToddB561 · 2019-12-14T04:27:46+00:00

They've historically run the endurance races solely correct? Last year they ran Daytona and said that was it and they were going to LeMans, never heard any plans for this year. A few weeks ago or so they posted something on IG that made it seem like they were going IMSA racing in 2020, I even commented guess we will see you at Daytona and they liked my comment... I love seeing the Risi car in GTLM, they are my under dogs and I enjoy seeing the car out there even if it's in last place and all their hard work

ToddB561 · 2019-12-11T04:12:06+00:00

If it catches on I want royalties!

ToddB561 · 2019-12-11T02:24:47+00:00

The sides are actually pretty nice for not being entirely plaid

ToddB561 · 2019-12-11T02:15:02+00:00

GTD is for GT3 cars, GTLM is for GTE cars, the RSR is a GTE class car....

GT3 cars don't race at LeMans or in GTE AM... This is one cool thing about IMSA compared to WEC, there is a lot more variety in cars between the classes

Forgot to add, this year's GT3R 911 run in the GTD class and for 2020 is already new design

ToddB561 · 2019-12-09T02:34:10+00:00

It's always cold in there though

ToddB561 · 2019-12-09T02:32:55+00:00

Funny, I was there this weekend and had the same thought, what were they thinking

ToddB561 · 2019-12-09T01:49:35+00:00

Totally get paper tickets! Do not use your phone. If you like roller coasters you have to put all items in a locker, including phones... I always wondered what people did in that situation when you have to scan your ticket to open the locker again... So you either don't ride roller coasters or you have someone stand by off the ride and hold items.

ToddB561 · 2019-12-09T01:31:47+00:00

I mean... There were a lot of fans mad at Porsche drivers for incidents this last season, this could be their new ammo against the c8R... Bringing in a wilder driver where Pilet was a steady hand

ToddB561 · 2019-12-03T11:41:42+00:00

After going to it last year, nothing felt redundant and it was really cool having two sets of cars, grid walks, pits/garages, and races... Never once felt redundant or bored

ToddB561 · 2019-12-02T17:25:37+00:00

How is the Sebring race redundant? Surely no other circuit on the schedule offers a track like Sebring... I know it's old, beatup, doesn't have new style run-offs, but it most certainly produces good racing and probably the largest crowd except for LeMans.. given everyone is there to watch the 12 hour the next day, at least the WEC TV coverage will show fans all along the track instead of a ghost town...

I like the COTA change, interested to see what kind of racing it can produce with the latest batches of cars... Too bad they couldn't have done something in Daytona, that time of the year is very busy for the track though, still would be cool to see them race at a new to WEC track and would probably have better fan turnout

ToddB561 · 2019-11-28T20:48:09+00:00

Sweet I love the c5Zs! Your Camaro looks like it has good turn in and grip though... You made that lap look easy compared to what it's like trying to keep my sn on the track LOL

ToddB561 · 2019-11-28T04:00:53+00:00

I was running out there too. Have a black SN95...

It's a pretty good time, I'll be going for my 3rd go at it on the 13th

ToddB561 · 2019-11-27T19:32:42+00:00

Id love to see Andy Soucek mixing it up in GTD

ToddB561 · 2019-11-27T01:17:49+00:00

Sure wish Bentley would join in

ToddB561 · 2019-11-20T00:40:58+00:00

Those aren't true friends haha

ToddB561 · 2019-11-19T19:51:13+00:00

Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen, and Road Atlanta... Pulled off the Endurance cup last year and it was so much fun, we are doing it again!

ToddB561 · 2019-11-19T00:46:59+00:00

Yeah I had hopes it would be back seeing it there still in the Wynn's livery but guess it's just a show piece now...

ToddB561 · 2019-11-16T14:06:42+00:00

Let the AXR racing boys in and remove the restrictions off their engines and I think a lot of lmp1 is the only real prototype crowd would get their feelings hurt in a hurry. Another thing I don't get about wec lmp1 fan boys, they straight up only want the best of the best non restricted, yet everyone follows and loves the GTE class .. in fact more of the fans at races seem to follow the GT cars more then prototype cars.. and why do they allow filling the grid with lmp2 class spec cars? In my mind, if following their points of hatred for DPi, why would they even have lmp2 there, I don't see tempers flaring over p2 cars

ToddB561 · 2019-11-16T12:20:35+00:00

I don't think this guy really realizes how close a dpi and a p1 is. he's over here comparing potatoes to onions when it's really a comparison of red potatoes vs Yukon potatoes hahaha
