Sent the standard one so you apply whatever tuning you wish 
I knew that race would've been all about the slipstreaming on the straight, that was why I went without the wing didn't want any un-needed downforce slowing me down on the straight  worked for sausage though.

i noticed i seemed to catch you abit second and last sector , then you would allmost leave me on the straight .. was hard to keep up with you both when i lost your draft .. allso had the wing hoping it would help keep my rear tyres intact. was happy tbh as i didnt really have any practice .. we had a thunderstorm about an hr before the race and it killed my internet connection .. it came back on at 25 past 9 .. was rushing just to get in before it started .. got one timed lap in before the race started

Definitely. As I said during/after the race (can't remember which) - we need to use shorter tracks, especially with this many people as everyone gets too split up with a massive track like Fuji. We had a good laugh on Suzuka East afterwards but that might be too short with cars with proper power.
I'm going away tomorrow until Friday so won't be able to look at tracks or anything but you guys can obviously take a look and see what works.

sounds like you had a food blast this weekend. sorry i couldnt make it i was busy driving vx220's round lemans all weekend 
have you got an idea of the car you next wanna use or shall i have another look? also i was thinking about track.. why dont we use a custom track generated at 9pm so everyone has the same practise / setup time?
im thinking a track sub 2 mins which is tight and twisty.

The custom tracks are ok but I'm not a huge fan as they all look the same and can be a bit boring. Wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try and see how we get on though

The custom tracks are horrible, I dislike them a lot so please don't use them
I think we should use the Corvette just for Sausage

Softs , I want as much grip as possible I have 2 fully tuned ones with Racing softs and there a handful, can't imagine what they'll be like on lesser grade tyres.

Great fun, gave it a quick test at Indy Roadcourse, nice and smooth track, anything bumpy and we will have a mega hand full! Don't expect no technical analysis from me, I'm better suited to driving the things than testing
Was great fun though, obviously the handling isn't going to be amazing out of the box, quite a bit of under steer on turn in but once you hit the apex and get back on the power its very oversteery, arse was kicking out most corners , will need a bit of practice to feather the throttle with this car. Plenty of grass to make mistakes with too which makes it more interesting, I had 2 spins in 5 laps and my tyres were half done
Thats as technical as its going to get from me Try and get on and give it a shot.

you know if you go on the grass you get shit on your tyres which makes your tyres slippy in the game.
i will see if i can get one tonight / tomorrow
what was your best time ?

love the vettes but this might not be a good idea .... allmost un-useable .. i was thinking a stock rm one with racing tyres .. or somthing different would be a race useing just the gt500 or gt300cars? there all fairly even and then people can choose between a few cars?
i dont mind the slower cars with sports softs but the fast ones .. ie the vette are not gonna be much fun for people like ant ... no offence lol
