Hi guys, I got two sets for you this week. Both are pretty similar, the HDF just has more wing. I got the same time in both (1:18.6). Not sure what direction I'm going to go, the first one is about 1.6km/hr faster in the straits and maybe a little more "fun" to drive. The HDF set felt like I could push harder in turns 5 - 9.

Normally I'm not a huge fan of Mid-Ohio, but I was pleasantly surprised how much fun this track/car combo is. Should be a great race, I do expect a few off tracks and spins so keep an eye out during the race.

Stiffened the shocks on both sets and I think it helps a tiny bit (maybe). I'm still getting about the same times between both sets (1:17.9 with a 110tt).

Thanks for sharing again, Owen. I'm not feeling too bad at Mid-Ohio as I was able to do a 1:19.2 in my first practice sessions. I know that's still off the pace, per se, but it's just about a second and a half or so right now - normally I'm 3 or 4 seconds off the pace.

I love Mid-Ohio, but don't typically do too hot there, but it is such a fun technical track that I'm looking forward to this one. Thanks again for posting your sets!!

Good race last night Michael Brromhead, great result getting 2nd. I spun out of 4th at Turn 5 (which seem to be a theme for me there...) and the dude that qualified 2nd ran me down, as I was doing 1:19's and he was doing 1:17's

I worked on carrying a bit of throttle through a few of the turns like you suggested and started getting it - of course that was after the race we did. I wasn't necessarily faster, lap time wise, but was more confident with the rear of the car. and got to where I wasn't spinning @ Turn 5 or Turn 2 - Thanks for the help man!! Really appreciate it.

Oh sorry i didnt see this until now. Nice man glad that helped. It's so competitive in this series that if you work at it and gain comfort, speed or both you are doing great. Last championship i did i got better and better and fought for wins, it comes with effort and time and if i can help in any way let me know dude. Private message here or on any social media. My name isnt that common lol

It's great to see positivity and drivers helping eachother out like this on the forums.

Great race from my seat, seems like we are all improving both in pace and safety.
