True, i was also surprise to see that lap time is realy close between driver. What im more concern about is its a track that, like some said, look's like the japan track. I woud say its a MiniJapan cause its a 71 lap race... Its kind of race you have to wait till the end to see.... who and how many driver will finish....

What is everyone running as far as times now? I only did a few laps monday but need to go in a different setup direction.

Hey Aaron, i think that Steve and Bilbo used their Susuka setup (what i tried with sliht modifications) and our (best) time was between 1:11.0XX to 1:11.5XX. I saw Carrera in the 1:10.XXX but not shure of his setup. Those setup may not been tested on a 100% race, cause lap time is not bad but how long will last the tire.... to be continued...lol

I'm actually still in the low 1:12s with my unmodified Suzuka setup, but I know the driver has lots of room for improvement and tweaking the setup should shave a few tenths more.
Still, a lot will be decided in the race itself no matter how good the cars are because this track has a few tricky spots that require pretty good execution from the driver. At least there's often room to recover from errors at this track...

yes even 1"10 is hard to do.I make up the time to do a 1:10 in the senna "s"and the tight left hand hairpin which i drop to a high first gear instead of second which i used to do...too much downforce though will cost you in the uphill climb to the finish line...which i found out the other night...just like suzuka.it is a tricky setup to get right as brazil has a little bit of everything.i top out at 193 miles an hour(if that helps).

p.s
i lost my brakes here last year so watch out..that was only a 50%race too.
maybe just drop the brake pressure down a bit..I was at 85%..i'll go 75% this year.
