Man you talking about practice? Practice? A race about to go down tonight and I read you guys talking about practice? For real, practice? Not the real race when chips are down but practice? Practice? We not talking about "ready set go" when the race goes down but we talking about practice? Seriously, practice?

]I think I saw it on the other server, maybe I'm wrong but something's fishy! As for the braking? I'm not sure but I remember when I was most competitive I practised the most? Strange isn't it...

Practice.....you talkin' bout practice man?

An Allen Iverson classic!! He had a lot of those press conferences.

And yeah as far as braking setups go, every single driver is completely different, you can't expect to jump in someone else's setup and have the braking work just so... Some drivers run with REAR brake bias, because they like to turn on the brakes (especially Porsche drivers)... Some run 75-80% pressure so it simulates a "longer" pedal and they can slowly/firmly apply the brakes. Others like huge pressure, like me. I run the same setup as Smokey because I'm a left foot braker too... Not only does it let me brake deeper/later, but I have my right foot ready to apply little bits of throttle here and there to adjust the car if it gets loose/tight on corner entry. But I get 95% of my braking done in a straight line, still.

and the key to successful braking is.... practice

so any gems for tire and pit strategy out there? even rough estimates would be appreciated as I haven't run 25 consecutive laps yet and I'm sure I'm not the only one

I'm still trying to figure that out. I'm seriously thinking about running inters.

I don't think anyone knows for sure. Hot lapping and race conditions are frequently completely different beasts. Tire management is going to be HUGE.

Boza it pretty much up in the air, rich and i kicked around some number the other night. and there was no clear winner in my book. i did all kinds of testing with the tires. and being your are 2 second faster your more screwed than i lol!!!! the tire fall off is HUGE here. and i for one do like the X2 tires. i wish the fuel was X2 as well. so the question is 2 stop, 3 stop, or 1 really, really,really slow race pace stop lol!!!
