I'm sure i'll do this.

[Troy Dalton]

I'm in!

[davidan]

I plan to race as well.

[JMH714]

I might... love the Corvette and plus it will give me a good practice (yeah, SR impact) on road course.

[davidan]

sounds like we will have enough interest for this one so I will get a date together that we can have a CMS practice night for it.

[Greg Veres]

I will likely give it a try. I guess I better go buy the vette.

This will be my first race to run the Vette in as well, I havent spent any time with it to date -- but looking forward to it with this format.

I ran a few laps last night in the Vette at Sebring, which was great fun. Noticed three things: 1. Compared to the skipps i've been tooling around in this car is an animal, huge torque, very powerful brakes, at times needs a heafty application of lock to get the nose in. 2. The iRacing setup is very understeer orientated. 3. The real 'iRacing' Sebring is nothing like the rFactor version. Its like a completely different track. I'll have to get some significant practice in before attempting 120mins! I spent some time looking for a setup for this car/track, seem a bit like hen's teeth at the moment, i think i found 1 so far...

Yeah it's amazing the difference between some of the tracks in rFactor and how they really are in iRacing with the Laser Scanning. I have been preparing for Brands Hatch this week in the Skippy at iRacing and it's much different than the rFactor version.
