I'll try the set we used at Sebring...assuming the recent changes haven't mucked it up. The car was quick and stable around Sebring earlier this year, getting us through 12 hours and minimal issues. Sebring 12hr FGT GT3Where is this Sebring setup? When I click on the link, it just opens this thread again. I tried the setup posted in the Sebring 12 hr thread and it failed tech. I did get a chance to try the baseline setup from Nathan Schartner and it worked ok for me with some very minor adjustments. I will try the others this weekend and post up the best one I have when I'm comfortable with it. |

I have been testing last night and today and this is what I have so far. I can run consistent 1:48s with a best of 1:47.926. This is with a full tank of fuel. I haven't run a full fuel run yet, so I don't know how many laps per tank. 15S3 Watkins Boot 6 hour.sto (1.74 KB) |

Will try it later Troy. Unless fuel has been changed these cars go just over an hour on fuel. For ease of planning we aligned driver swaps on the hours.
Also, we have a Dunder Mifflin paint job already set for the car unless you have something you'd rather use as this event is your idea, Troy.
I sent you an invite for the GBR1 team.

However, the one we ran for Sebring is a little less understeery for me on cold tires. |

However, the one we ran for Sebring is a little less understeery for me on cold tires. I downloaded and tried out the set. First of all, it only had 5 gallons of fuel. Is it a qual or race set? I filled it up before I ran it. Noticed right away that it was really slow on the straights. The wing was set at 11. I dropped it to 6 and it was much better. You can still go flat out in the esses and it gets through the other corners fine. I ran a half tank of fuel and checked temps and pressures. The left sides were a little hot and the front temps weren't quite even. I dropped a half pound of pressure from the left sides and went one click to the positive on the front cambers. Ran it again and now the pressures and temps are more even. It still didn't feel stable so I checked the ride heights. They were a little high so I dropped it down a little bit and adjusted the rake. I was able to get a new PB with it after adjustments. It is very stable and easy to catch and control slides if you get on it a little too much in the corners. Here it is with the changes. Please try it out and let me know what you think. 15S3 Watkins Boot 6 hour v2.sto (1.74 KB) Edit: As for the paint, send me what you have, I don't have anything special right now. I would like to carry the GBR colors for this race. |

Hm, not sure why the fuel was low but it was the race set... it was saved in my iSpeed race folder as fastest race setup. I'll try your modifications tonight and report back. Paint: We didn't run a GBR scheme for the 12 hr (it was just one Chris found that he liked) but I have time to modify the skin we're running in the Monday night endurance series for a GBR FGT. I'll send it to you when done although I don't think you need to load it. IIRC Trading Paints knows to assign it to you as you're part of the team. |

Hey guys. If you guys want to run a team with three let me know. I just got back from the Glen and was thinking about this event while I was there.
If you just want to stick with teams of two I can sit it out. Thanks.

If you just want to stick with teams of two I can sit it out. Thanks. I have no problem running on a team of 3. That would be 2 hours driving each. That would mean one person driving, one person spotting/crew chief, and one person resting/eating or whatever. |

Oh, I missed that we're running more than one team... I suppose I can create a GBR2 and invite everyone to that as well then we can sort out who is in what car later.

I only assumed because I thought we discussed it many moons ago. Like Chris said, with Boza (or someone else) in we'd be perfect. Good chance the two teams wouldn't be in the same split. |

If I do it I'll have to do a early stint. Have to be somewhere by 3 pm that day. If that's cool, count me in.
