999 bucks! It had better apex for me.
Oh, Hey, Warren,
totally not karting but since we was talking North Shore… apparently they have crowds, too:
Oh, and if you want to watch people get worked… Here’s a very steep day at Pipeline, I think. A bunch of near vertical takeoff attempts. The bodyboarders are happy in this kind of stuff, tho, since they can get very deep.
Damn; no wonder Da Hui get pissed. 
Ok so here’s some additional laps where this is done a bit better, allowing for better S1 at least. I think here, with sub 4 S1, its essentially proof of concept that your slower first bit probably is better. If I can get it down to the low 4.9x, that’s probably all I need. The second one here is .94, but TBH, I kinda need a .90 or better. I bet it’s doable as I improve.
What’s interesting is that I set a new “fastest” lap of 18.138, which I then did again, 25 minutes later. One of the two has a more refined version of what I think you were describing than I showed previously, I suspect.
As all my times and setups got wiped, I have been messing around with setup. I narrowed the rear width as far as I could, another 10mm. This seems to help in that the back end holds way less rotation grip or something and needs less oompf to rotate. It’s a bit fussy, but I’m getting used to it.
Other setup changes: removed all scrub radius
Another thing: Since account reset wiped everything, these are both my new “fastest” lap, both from the same session. Once again, I run the same laptime exactly. Odd.
Lap 10 clip would have been golden if you had a better run onto the front stretch to start the lap. I bet that would have been close to 18sec flat. If it still feels slide-y in the rear go for a front width change.
Loaded up a pals setup that goes totally different direction:
Pretty genuis, akchooly. This allows the kart to be much more predictable in both the hooking lefts. It almost drives itself compared to the more twitchy setups I have been using.
I managed to get closer back to where I was with it, as well.
Sectors are: S1: 3.996 (a bit too slow), S2: 5.150 (a bit too slow), S3: 8.935 (just right).
They are all in ballpark tho, just need 5/100 S1 and 5/100 in S2.
The version in this lap is very much like you drew it.
Shockingly inaccurate info from Google:
This is good to know as lead is expensive.
Also, Formuladank has Ricciardo romance novels now:
Hmmmmm. Contemplating… contemplating…

So far, no great races worth recording this week. They were either really boring wins from pole. Or a disaster being divebombed from the pole or second place. I hit 2.2K iRacing early week then it spiraled to 1.6K after maybe 4-5 bad races of blatant wrecking. I feel like being in the top splits has been making the sportsmanship worse.
Tomorrow morning I’m running the IMSA 2hr mini-enduro race. It’s a mix of GT4 and TCR cars so we will see how it goes. My experience with multi-class racing (GT4 & LMP3) so far has not been great. Some people shouldn’t be allowed on a bicycle let alone driving a LMP3 machine.
That was also my experience. I hit 2K something and then plummeted back to 16-1700. Perhaps it’s a common thing in iracing.
It sucks. I’m normally competitive in the top splits and qualifying/racing in the top 5 consistently. I just get ran over by some butthead who is upset they got passed.
The top splits seem to have worse average safety ratings. I suppose if you take out your competition you’ll still get good irating for finishing.
im getting a csl dd 8nm with some csl elite v2 pedals (loadcell) and my dream wheel The fanatec Podium porsche 911 wheel with podium shifters… wheel costed more then the base

Very cool and good timing. If I am not mistaken, fanatec is selling the dd base for $199 if you buy a wheel.

Anyone do the Supercharged league?
I am tempted to sign up because it’s a cool track and the league is speed 4.
What I can’t figure out is the commitment. It says two races a week but it’s not clear to me if that’s one night a week or two.
The races are not races per-se. Apparently, you race based on time as opposed to position. Time trial, basically. Would be fun to try.

Basically back to where I was pre-delete of account. Now to finish this.
What’s cool is the leaderboard is moving around again. I appear to have inspired some folks to lap. the fella that was behind me I proved his time to 18.008, for example. This new setup makes me feel pretty confident.
Also, this is some very clever image editing:
Well, I went from C to B license in a week. Rookie to B in 5 weeks. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Really only have to run 4 B license races and keep the safety rating where it is and I’ll be A by the end of the season guaranteed. I’m going to see if I can’t swing A license in a week or two also.
It’s amazing what a good clean 30 minutes will do for the iRating when you aren’t getting clobbered by LMP3s.

Nice! Maybe came in a little hot into the last turn, but the rest of the lap looked great! I’m feeling that sub-18 in my bones! I’ll send some good juju your way.
