Pre-Race Interview-

1- After a short lap around Road Atlanta, we head to the large and in charge Spa!  Which is the most satisfying corner to get right here?

2- Spa is one of those tracks where it is very feasible for either e high or low downforce setup to work.  Which way will you favor?

3- Superbowl prediction time!  49ers or Cheifs?  If you can correctly predict the score, a Crash for Cash team member will "eliminate" one car of your choice in the next race!

Note - the session times (in-sim) have been moved up so the practice session does not begin in complete darkness.

1. pouhon bc it is so easy to over slow the car or turn in slightly to late but such a beautiful thing when you get it just right!
2. high downforce for sure
3. I don't follow the sport and never heard of the crash team

 

[bonaduce]

1) any time I get rivage right I am happy

2) Have not decided yet, leaning more towards HDF, but the more I practice the more the wings get lower

3) KC, score 45-38

The chiefs are going to crush the 49ers... Eat dirt Tyler!!

1. God forbid I could hit 8 and 9 like I know what I'm doing, I could be a real fake race car driver!!!

2. I cant throw it in the corners like the guys with skill in this league, so I might try a little less wing and see if I can make it up on the straights.

3. I got 49ers 35-31. I think both teams are pretty even, I like the 49ers defense to be able to make a play that could turn the game.

Hey everyone, new to the league this week! Can't wait to get out there and race with y'all.

1. I think it has to be the chicane for me. Getting the braking just right, turning into 18 and then nailing the setup for the exit out of 19 is real satisfying.  Also seems to be the corner I mess up & lose the most time.

2. Currently I'm running a higher down force setup. Ran a race last night in the Simcube series and it was a TON of fun to battle someone running a low down force setup. They would walk away from me on the straights (if I didn't get close enough for the tow) and I'd pull it back in around the corners.

3. Cheifs -- Mahomes is a machine! 34-17

Hi guys - I have to miss the race tonight dang it, best 'o' luck to everyone.

I really like the 12-13 complex it always feels so nice to drive when you get it right.

2- Spa is one of those tracks where it is very feasible for either e high or low downforce setup to work.  Which way will you favor?
In general I tend to use a little more wing than my compeditors for some added stability.  Its hard for me to drive low DF and be consistent enough.

3- Superbowl prediction time!  49ers or Cheifs?  If you can correctly predict the score, a Crash for Cash team member will "eliminate" one car of your choice in the next race!
I think I will go with the 49s but hopefully this will be a close game. 31-28.

Contrats David Holland for the win! Congrats also to Greg Seitz and Rod Clinard for the podium!

I had a good initial pace but I had too much oversteer after 5 or 6 laps. Could not follow your pace.

 

[crich88848]

Thanks Jeff Steffey for the clean racing last night. Also, good battle there at the end Daniel. I had you coming into the backstraight, but I didn't tuck in behind you enough and then dove in to deep into the bus stop. Oh well, it was a good race and good last lap battle.
