Yeah that was good race, that one guy kept getting ahead & then binning it, he was full on through the corners but still managed to recover the lost time demoting me back to 3rd.
I started to fade a bit in the latter stages coming very close to an off, made me back off a bit. The last two laps you were right on me, that chequered flag could not come soon enough.
@ Mille, Smith was not successful on the last lap he got his just deserts in T1. Ya Jetta racing allows for some rubbing only giving 1x for light contact.
Just managed a 3rd in the Mazda at Road Atlanta. Man, that track is a laugh with those cars but pretty intense! How the heck are the top people doing consistent 1.17's!!!!
For some reason I can usually keep it on the gray stuff at this combo.
Also, just getting on the brakes a little earlier (everywhere, but especially coming into the chicane at the top of the T1 hill) helped me find 1:17s. That and keep it at 120mph through T1. Wings 14f/13r for me.
I think it`s because I can handle the Skip Barber but not the Mazda... And a Mazda on R. Atlanta... I have had fun in the Mazda at Road America but that track is also easier in that car...at least for me...
hmm since i've hit a brick wall (and numerous tyre walls and a tree) trying to get the lotus dialed in consistently at VIR i may pay the mazda a visit, havent run it for a few months
Open diff seems good, I haven't found any oddities with that... As for the ABS, it's very basic but it does the job...
Overall, I find the Jetta the most fun to drive but I don't dare enter races with it, too close the times, too low the licence (not that higher ones are idiotproof either)...
that Summit Point Jefferson was designed to be run in both directions?
Yes, it is a really tight and short course. And yes, it is almost exclusively a driving school track. Although, there is a hill climb club that uses it for a TT course.
The really fun thing about the track is that during a half hour run session, you can easily do 30 or so laps. hehehe. I remember lapping a Ferrari 348 with my Taurus.
yep jetta is fun and it teaches you good habits with lines to as it's all about not loosing speed through the corners, i enjoyed the fun races in it but i won't enter any championship races as i prefer single seaters and i'd feel really bad if i screwed up someone's chance of the prize
I don't know how I feel about the Fast Track thing, I guess I'll have to see how it pans out. It makes sense to promote people faster as there are plenty of good racers just sitting around for months waiting to be promoted up to the higher cars. I just don't want to see people getting promoted up to the higher levels by racing down to boost their SR, and then they're not actually ready to race the faster stuff. Of course that happens now anyway(I do it in road), just seems like it could happen more with this. It could boost the numbers of guys racing in A/B though, which is definitely a good thing.
One thing I do hate is the part about Pro guys losing their license, that just seems pretty harsh considering how much SR you can loose just by having a couple of unlucky races. I could see not allowing them to race in pro races if they are under 1.0, but once they get their SR back up I think they should be let back in.
I was waiting around for a while waiting for my promotion so I could run the Radical. Then I actually tried it at a few tracks and found it has some really bizarre physics issues. Even the Mazda's instability, particularly on curbs, is ridiculous.
The Skippy is far and away the best car in that game, IMO. Give me a Skippy with a little more power and an LSD and I'd be completely happy.
The announcement of the new fast track licence thingy is really kicking up a **** storm. Personally i feel its a bit harsh on the pro drivers especially when they pick up random 4x points just from racing close. iRacing need to fix the contact system before raising the bar.
And a Mazda on R. Atlanta... 
. How's the open diff acting? How's the abs?
