Just came from the practice server. Shame no one else was there :( I'm turning low 29's, best lap of 29.254. How badly does that suck? Fast Setup is not bad. Should be ok. Larry

Something I don't get about Atlanta. Put more tape on and watch how much easier it is to spin. Is this the way it should be? "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:fubaa.126503$[email hidden]...

I just loaded it up with the fast setup, haven't driven Atlanta since the spring race last year (in N2002), pulled a 29.569 on my warmup lap and a 29.174 on my first lap at speed. I'm guessing that's slow because Atlanta was the track I was least competitive at online in N4/2002. I'm guessing fast guys are doing 28.5 under those weather conditions with that setup? Jason

Yeah, but I'm wondering if it should be that much easier to spin. Was racing online, and the server had realistic weather set. Put about 10% more tape on, and as I was coming in to pit I spun out doing about 70-80 mph just by turning the wheel a hair to the left. This was after I had slowed way down getting ready to enter the pit. "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It could do, but to me it sounds like you might want to back off on the steering linearity slider a little. Maybe down to 85-90%. Jan. =---

Yep. The more you nail the nose down, the looser the car gets. Larry "jon" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:tXfaa.525$[email hidden]...
