I know how much you love NASCAR Leo, but watch the wreck again. Ragan caused his own wreck by trying to run Boris off the track. You can't pin that one on Boris, he was on the edge of the track, and Ragan moved up where there was no room.
Leo - Can you give a quick explanation as to why a little understeer is good in fast corner entry and exits? My only inclination is that it helps facilitate a slight drift so the car can be pointed out of the corner.
@g00sampson Loose [oversteer] IS fast [rotates car 2 turn the corner]. But, your inclination is the way I was taught it. On ovals, set-up [alignment + tilt - camber tilting all tires into the corner, tire stagger - larger diameter on the outside, + other 'tricks' create rotation 2 help turn the car. 'Your inclination' allows u 2 work the car, save the car, + keep it tail first off the wall! On a road course like LimeRock, mostly right hand turns, try a slightly modded-oval setup.
I'm not really a Patrick fan but she drove a solid race and survived a lot of attrition. Anyone could have lost it in those conditions on those tires.
Hey FLD, Just wanted to let you guys know that there is a place here in Fresno,CA first one actually in North America. Its called RACEROOM. they are racing simulation stations set up so people can race each other. they have great software set up already, and its an amazingly fun experience! I think you should fly out here and try to beat me in a race! then give me tips and pointer haha!!
P.S. Can a college student get a free FLD Shirt? lol
good tips, was wondering if anybody knows where i could go to learn more about this for a street application, i would like to do some suspension modds to my car and would like to know what i'm doing first so i can buy the right parts and "do it right the first time"
@dakoffran : Forums are a good place to start collecting information on parts and there are probably forums for your specific make/model. There is as much bad information out there as good so just use the search feature and look for people posting the most relevant information. Do a lot of research, figure out what does not work based on other's bad experiences. Ultimately street mods are not nearly as stiff or extreme as track mods.
@dakoffran I'm no expert, but I'm not sure how much fine tuning translates from the track to the street. Race tracks don't have potholes and railroad crossings. Taking a track car to the street is like taking a road car to a rally course. There is just too much surface variation. A street car needs flexibility to handle well on different surfaces.
I choo-choo-choose you. (gaffer). Pretty good Leo. Keep these set-up/driving SD's coming. Funny, first thing I thought of was Boris' helmet too...wuss.
Great episode, but I kinda disagree on the comment about Boris. He gets hit in the window by that little bastard Biffle before he even pulls over in the garage so from that point he's in full ragequit so I don't think he quite gave a damn how he looked wearing a helmet while wanting to knock the hell out of Greg. I would have thought being a former driver yourself, you would also be familier with the Red mist. Biffle wasn't any more of a man to sneak a punch and then run off.
Lilbro209. God damn it. You had to use the k-word name call? Maybe you meant to type 'kiTe'. I'll be typing the word 'banned' to our fld administrator, but no confusion, I'll mean it. Thumbs up if it's time for lilbro209 to dial it back or go. Come on, lilbro!
Leo, Youtube had Americas Cup race from Portugal last Sunday. It really was some excellent racing. Are you open talk about maritime racing or does too far off your racing spectrum from road racing?
@lamdo23tech Does America really need to embarress itself on the world stage any further by having a driver with a pretty face but little to no talent and can't even win half of the time? Also, you forget about Patrick Long and Tony Milner? They both are American and they are doing just fine in Sportscars
I just honestly cant understand MAN! I type in sim raceway on youtube and all i find are videos about crashes. WHAT THE hell, you would think they would go for a Iracing sponsorship, after all they are on their way to the top right now and there are limitless options especially for what Leo wants out of a training tool
great input ... Danica really doesn't have the 'skill' to win and her car control proves it -- she'll be best friends with the wall once her full-time Nascrap career starts next year !
Lilbro209. I am out in the field on my bb @ RoadAm. As such I am not following the threads properly. I will read ALL your posts / advice to me later. BUT, if your plan is to help SD lose a sponsor continue to hijack these shows w/ your comments. I was asked to not comment last week and embolden you. But now I am asking YOU. You made your point. Stop. Pls let the show subject matter drive the comments NOT this. Pls.
Leo, if you do happen to go flip-off anyone at the next ALMS race, can you flip-off everyone at the GT-AM class as well?
Also, I will have to disagree with you on Danica P. Because as I watched the race I notice a few drivers that went off at the exact spot as she did on previous laps, and from what I saw; I think Danica did suffer from bad set-up as she was unable to get good power down from her car to the wheels coming out of the corner and have no traction.
I have to say I'm a little worried by what I've read on Sim Raceway.
Anywho, anyone who's really interested should look for Allan Staniforths "Race and Rally Car Source Book", it's a Haynes manual (literally) for setting up and even building from scratch a race car and the guy was a legend in the British hill-climb scene.
@rrm155 Grand-Am doesn't get much coverage or support outside of the United States (even ALMS is decently popular internationally). SCCA World Challenge faces a similar situation (heck, I don't even think it has any sort of TV deal, unlike the ALMS and Grand-Am)
GOD DAMNIT LEO, LISTEN TO ME... YOU ARE GOING TO FUCK UP BY GOING WITH SIMRACEWAY!!!! please listen. I am not giving you a hard time. I am trying to help you.. They are leeches and are hated by many.....
@lilbro209 Well i don't know simraceway. There site say its free so i think its ok. also states that there back.
You may have hatred to them but it looks fine to me. the only reason u hate it cus they taken free stuff and made you pay for it. boohoo. it happens to alot of games. NOTHING IS FREE ANYMORE NOTHING. if u want free. go outside and run around. that's free to do. quit bitching over old shit
@24Starflyer Your a fucking moron you know that. I don't have a problem with paying for shit you fucking ass wipe.. The problem is that the way they are doing things ( taking mods and charging for them ) will lead to lawsuits that will/can eventually end modding as we know it. The reason it's allowed now is because it is FREE! If money is to be made on it then that's when the turning a blind eye to it stops and lawsuits begin. Educate yourself a bit before making a ass of yourself. Kike....
@24Starflyer Oh and BTW before you google Simraceway and then fire back at me saying that they are getting licenses, make sure you look into the loopholes they are counting on to acquire them. Also my MAIN problem is that they are taking something that is now already released as free, re-packaging it without changing even so much as the car sounds, then putting a price tag on it and ripping people like yourself who do not know what's going on. Oh and BTW they are using gmotor2. RFACTOR!! /kill
@davidmac2007 Yes money is good but the point of the whole song and dance is viewers and when you "double bird" your sim racing viewers by going with Simraceway then the whole point is null.....
