Friday Night

Is there any chance of you all doing some Megane practice tonight?

**davidan** · 05-12-2006, 08:52 AM

I probably wont make it tonight, because my wife and I are going out to dinner to celebrate mothers day together while my Mom keeps Adelle. Saturday night I am going to the MAVS game, so probably first time I will be able to get on and do some laps is Sunday night. The next race is in these at Laguna right?

**TimCollier** · 05-12-2006, 09:17 AM

Paul, I'll be on tonight to run some laps at Monterrey or wherever you want...

It will be at least 8:30CST before I can jump on, but I'll look for you on Ventrillo!!

Anyone else?

**TimCollier** · 05-12-2006, 09:19 AM

BTW....my best laps so far have been in the 1:32 range, and "Speedy" Rowland has been doing 1:31's of course

**davidan** · 05-12-2006, 09:36 AM

You guys make me sick with those speeds!!

lol. I was running like 1:35 when we first practiced there a couple of weeks ago. What are you guys using for a setup?

**TimCollier** · 05-12-2006, 10:32 AM

That was using the default setup and making those minor changes I relayed to you that night David....I think rear df up to 4, and a couple of minor brake changes, and the steering ratio. Nothing else I believe...I'll post it tonight though after Paul and I run some laps!

John, you gonna put that new paint scheme of yours up for download?

Tim, my fastest time at Laguna is 01:30.376

Hey guys! I'll try and be on tonight, but probably not until after 9 PM. The wifey and I need to do a little cleaning first this evening... Her parents are coming by tomorrow.

After that, I should be online. The more I drive these, the more fun they are... definitely helps to have decent setups, and there are a handful of good ones posted over at RSC right now, and it looks like a setup section will be added this weekend at the new Rfactorcentral.

I need to fix a few things with my paintjob when I get home today, but I'll post it up here tonight for you to download. I'll also post any setups I have for the Megane as well. One thing I've found going to some pickup races at a few tracks, is that there are people 2-3 seconds faster than me at most tracks. BUT most people in online races are usually very willing to give out setups if you ask (and sometimes you don't even ask, and end up with setups in your "Received" folder). Especially with a new mod, where there are lots of servers, it pays to hop on and practice with some strangers. You can see what times people are running, and also get a couple setups out of it.

One setup thing I've found is that the absolute MAX you should have the rear wing at is "3". Usually 1 at 90% of the tracks, and maybe 2 at the other 10%, but try not to go above 2 if you possibly can. Going from 1 or 2 to a 3 or 4 wing setting is a HUGE speed penalty.
