37! How hard were you driving it! I was getting about 8% per lap!

You gonna be rubbish

I don't drive like a pussy!

[ed1983]

been playing around a bit this afternoon. think i will be using a sierra. can't get close to 2'07 though.

[AndyD360]

Nowhere near a 2.07 anything in a number of cars......!! mid 2.09's for me. Not sure weight is the main problem - thought a bigger standard tyre width would be best but hasn't helped - 7% tyre wear a lap too - thought at least if I was slow I could make up the difference by stopping less... but thats not the case either!!

God 2:14.5 in the Volvo.


Edit: running slicks I got 2:08.7

Can we scrap drag tires? This car is uncontrollable with drags on.

Me and iggysport are testing now and drag tires are just perfect.

Had such a close race just now.



Anyone wanna jump on with us? We are just testing cars around Mugello.

They're horrible, no grip what so ever, and it's not fun skidding round a track.

I second this.

The Sierra I tried out was ok on drags, not quick though but I managed a mid 2.09 with it after they warmed up.

Same here but with a 155 q4. Never raced on drag tyres before, took some getting used to I must have span out every dam corner when they were cold! Improve a hell of a lot once warm, but still not as much grip as the slicks.

Tried a E36 M3, wasn't much quicker but felt easier to drive. Not as hard on the tyres either. Not sure what to pick now!

I third it.

Def takes some getting used to - would be interesting to try it in a lobby full of them first to see... but happy to go with the majority.

Maybe try messing around with the tyre pressures as cars can handle well on drags if set up right. Also makes racing better, as when the wear kicks in you can be up to 2 seconds a lap slower. So makes pit stops strategic, instead of all jumping in the pits on the second lap and essentially hot lapping to win the race.

[Williams99]

Alright ya big bunch of girlies, drag tyres are gone.

Everything still the same, except PI has gone up to

580 for front and all wheel drive

555 for rear.

Let me know what day is good for everyone.

And get tuning

OP updated

[LiamB]

Just realized, most of my cars were 100 under the PI they were supposed to be..

[Petrolhead95]

Where's the list of the cars we can use?

So we can now use any tyre compound we like - are we still running standard width tyres though??
