That was actually my line through there. You get a much better line in to the last corner. You just have to be carful of the painted area not causing a problem.
Once I saw other folks using that line, I started using it and dropped over a second from my lap time. You can carry way more speed on to the front straight with it.
I am going to try and get a couple laps in tonight if people are around.
Some highlights from the last race. Mostly the Dean show. But if you do silly things.... you make the highlights:
Ya. Race 1 was not my best showing. The pass of moto was a bit less exciting than it was in real time. I had fun!!

Hope you guys had good racing at Silverstone.
I was disappointed to miss it, as I really enjoy racing there. I just knew it was going to cause havoc if I tried to race. For those who didn't see it in the Discord chat, here's what I was dealing with:

I talked to the after hours tech at my provider and they think my antenna is slightly misaligned... possible, as we had a pretty severe storm the other day. Hopefully, they can get someone out to look at it before next week's race.
In reply to Rodan :
That is 50 times faster than a 14400 modem!!

(it's all a mater of perspective)
Results and Standings. A very close race for 2nd between Darwin and Racebrick. 4th through 7th is pretty close also.

Does anyone know what good lap times are at next weeks track?
In reply to dean1484 :
I think Lenovo's are the fastest:

In reply to dean1484 :
I assume you mean good lap times?
I saw Rodan got something in the 1:36s, I think I got something similar before the server restarted...

Low :36s on the server w/HC. Still trying to figure out the track.... it's been a minute, and the GT4s were a lot easier to drive at Inje.
I don't think the medium tires can hack it for race distance. Hards seem to be the better choice, at least on the Lambo.
I tossed my tune in the dumpster and started over and got down to the 37s. I think I can make the med tires work. I have not done a 15 min session yet to test it.
Trying to get all the sliding out of the car.
I think I will be lucky to get ot the 36's but we will see.

I'll probably be on tonight, I don't remember this track.
Glad I had that drop. I've emailed sim magic to see if I can replace the plastic tub that broke on the pedals. It underpins the entire rest of the pedals as the backbone. It's really got me considering upgrading to the P1000s because that set has an entirely aluminum structure. After buying the mower I'm low on ready cash so we will see. How many more races in this series? I may have to bust out the old driving force gt again but I'd rather not.
I think we all need to see a picture of this famous mower.

Ya think? Ok. Keep in mind the seat looked brand new until your mom sat in it. Kidding!
Its an old chassis but has a new engine with a 2 year warranty . 
I totally forgot in all the excitement. I purchased another set of p500 pedals today. I saw what I did that made them break and that wont happen again. I have to support the area behind where it cracked which I didn't do on my first go round. IF I don't have them in before next Wednesday I'll probably sit out that one too but they should be here next week.
