    Uploaded Xfinity Setups

    I think the small signup list is because people don't know how good this car is as a road car. All they have to do is test the car and once they do, they'll be running towards the signup list.

    So ... to help you non-believers step over the threshold, I uploaded my Xfinity setups to "Car Setups" on top of the page.
    I would like the frontrunners of this series to also upload their setups, but that's up to them.

    Potential participants: Download the setups and try out the car. To find the setups, type StockCar.

    To be truthful, when you first told me about this mod John, I had second thoughts for a long time as I thought it was ovals until I realized we would be racing on tracks that turn.. Then I thought, Nascar making turns, too wild for me. Until I tested the vehicle out then I realize, there's so much fun. I was reading the book by its cover which is a no no.

    That's exactly what I think is going on here ... :)

    Added one setup. If it feels like turning too much for you, stiffen front arbs and just drive few laps.
    Follow tyre temperatures and even those by stiffening or softening front / rear.
    My rear tyres are usually more hot than fronts.
    Use at own risk.

    :edit: I have same setup every track. Just adjusting gear and balancing tyre temperatures.

    Congrats to Toni. Very well played. Played us all lol.

    Edit:. Sorry Toni about the bump at the beginning. I'm not sure what happened. There was just cars everywhere. I was trying to play it safe but I guess I wasn't playing it safe enough. :(

    Good racing with John. You were racing awesome. Nope, could not get around you. Tried every trick in the book but nope, you wouldn't bite. Well done John. Other thoughts about other things came into mind and I missed my apex. Dang it, I missed everything LOL.

    Grats to Pablo for a podium. Very well done.

    Cheers,

    Johnny

    Rf2 tends to crash I believe for most of us in different areas from what I can see Paul. Crash, close Steam, reopen it, start rf2 is my schedule from time to time.

    Q was okish. maybe left 3-4 tenths but that would mean perfect for me and its never perfect with these cars
    R T1 i dont know what i did, had no clue where i hit brakes and whats going on and got hit by @Johnny Gutierrez just slightly. i felt its my fault since was so clueless so let few guys go and we were on P4 and P5 then i think? Anyhow @John vd Geest was hard to pass and as my teammate and didnt want to be too rude so took early pit. I had very heavy car so pit was not planned and didnt really suffer from tyrewear either. So quick in, quick out and then just hammer some great laps. Took 10seconds off from P1 and P2 in few laps and was really flying out there and knew i had this one.
    Thank you for the slowmotions @Rob Milliken .. was so hoping nobody sees that :D Had tilted wheel after that but nothing big.

    Yeah, that happened to me too. I don't think this track will be used that much though.

    Yeah, I knew you were a lot faster than me. But I thought "he's gonna have to earn it ..." And as long as I was earlier on the throttle and kept the inside closed under braking, there was nothing that an honest man could do LOL! Great track for defending.

    I thought at the time: If I follow you into the pits on the next lap, then Johnny who was behind me will hammer in some fast laps and when he pits later he will be ahead. Or I stay out and you will hammer in fast laps and undercut me. I was going to lose the lead either way LOL.
