What kind of race pace laptimes are you guys seeing? Been doing a little testing and running low 2:34 -- ocassionally a 2:33, I am sure the fast guys are a couple seconds above that if my guess.

[JMH714]

I'm running high 2:38's. The setup I'm using - same one I used at Watkins Glen which is comfortable for me - was too tight at Road America. I kept going wide at exiting turns unless I'm slow down. The setup was provided by Troy Dalton as all propose use.

I have no clue how to adjust to make it turn better.

I am about the same David. Lots of 2:33's

Thanks, David, for the host and it certainly helped me improve my lap.

If anyone interesting in practice a day before the race, please let David know.

After jumping off the server and realizing how little there was to adjust on the cars, I worked on getting more used to iRacing and managed to get down to 2:33.3...have a feeling the top guys will be in the 31's, but it's all about making it 20 laps right?

For sure Tim, just getting to the finish gives you a good shot in this race is what I am thinking.
