    Thanks for your feedback, can you explain what do you mean by stating that Camaro has incredible tyres?
    Which three makes of cars had moments of very, very bad snap oversteer?
    Have you checked the telemetry of the cars with moments of very, very bad snap oversteer?
    How were their tyres at the moment?

    Cheers.

    Yesterday a 40 laps race was held at Sebring, Bumble was able to win driving a Porsche 799 leveraging a relative lack of absolute pace by a masterful drive, second was Alpha-Bravo who had a very close fight with Yoss (fastest lap in race, who made an error with his fuel estimates and had to pit twice...), both driving a Mc Laren, fourth was Lucky06 driving also a Porsche.

    Bumble telemetry shows a very balanced tyre wear between front and rear end, with a relative imbalance of wear of rear left and right tyres. The maximum wear was 45 % after a 1h hour 22 minutes race. His last lap was 2-02-194, 1,613 seconds down on his best lap in race, he managed the whole race on a single set of tyres.

    Wishmaster, usual contender for podium or victory, blew the motor of his SLS (driver error, over revving).

    Once again, congratulations to those fine racers who had a great time together.

    Cheers.

    I made also a mistake in the pit strategy because tires where changed without any reason. I disabled the first pit request because it was to soon (I cofigured the pit settings from the cockpit but for some unknown reason the tire settings = no change lost and I got also new tires)

    In any case good race and Yoss was very fast this time [emoji122]
    Congrats to bumble for his clean race and the victory[emoji106]

    @lgel I will upload my motec log today in the beta tester forum.

    Thanks, that would be appreciated.

    I could help with some testing starting March (as I'm quite busy through Feb), if you guys still need some help.

    Can anybody confirm whether or not the 997 GT3-R really ran that "loose" of a differential? I didn't think it was bad driving around Sebring. Did a race at Mills Outerloop and holy crap was inside-rear wheelspin a problem! I know I've got lots of freedom available with preload, but too much and turn-in starts to suffer.

    It doesn't. Not sure what happened to this mod since 0.88 when values were spot on.

    That we asked a real life Porsche driver and racer to setup those values.

    Cheers.

    Cool to hear you've got a lead on data, but wouldn't asking a mechanic or car engineer be better?

    Who knows ? But the physics are not encrypted, so yourself, or a league can easily change those values.
    As is, I enjoy a lot driving the 799.

    Cheers.

    No need to send anything, just roll back to 0.88 when values for many things were in line with data from Porsche Motorsport. I'm sure there are things you don't have solid data for which could then be tweaked to appease driver/tester.

    We thought very erroneously, I realize it now, that we could do what we thought was best with our mod during our free time.

    As you say, just do it!

    Roll back to version 0.88, and enjoy your racing.

    Cheers.
