I'm all in.  Even though I'm not much of a fan I'll go with Carl Edwards for drivers and I'll race the 99 car.

I've got a question though.  You state minimum down force. Can we add down force?  I ask because my car has an annoying wobble in the turns, I'm thinking a slight increase in aero might help tune that out.

Yes indeedely-do!  That is just the minimum allowed.  You can run any combination above those 2 numbers.

 :stoopid:

It feels good in solo runs but I got a feeling in a group we may move around more that the Group C cars did on racing hards.  I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. Now I just gotta work on my wobble.  :(  ... Maybe its a controller thing.  I'll have to try the wheel and the DS3.

It's not you.  I think it's the track myself, as I find all do the same to an extent.  The sports tires have plenty of extra grip.  We ran 3 in testing and got up to 206 mph on entry and the car could turn right down to the yellow, or maneuver around another car.

Qualifying next week Wednesday.  Don't worry if you can't make it, as we will run the 125's for those who missed qualifying.

Don't forget, 2 TIMED laps only.  :)

I still haven't done anything yet. Didn't we have a Nascar tune posted somewhere around here?

One of the things I noticed recently is that a lot of races seem to have fuel and tire wear set at fast or very fast.  I thought we all agreed that PD butchered the original set up in the game where you could get like one lap at Suzuka before you started to show wear and the tires got slippery.  I expected more to see more and more races with normal wear, but that doesn't seem to be the case (granted, I don't race in every event, but I've been trying to make sure you guys get plenty of opportunities to see me lately  :lolz ).

What's the fascination with slippery tires and pitting?
