Pick one of the free Eagle 72 and come practice with us Christian. They are difficult to start in 1st gear, but once you are in movement it is much easier. Just use half throttle in short gears (1&2)

What an idiot. I changed a key configuration and I did not see that it suppressed me 4th speed ... Engine exploded! Only 2 laps for my first race, not bad !!

Got a lot of work to do on full tanks, qual setup. The steering got really slow at the start. Good thing there is a bunch of time to work on it.

Lots of information gathered on fuel mileage, tyre wear, aero wash, pit stop procedures, etc. Thanks everyone that showed up tonight.

Thank you for that setup, Alberto! I need to gain more confidence, as my hands are still quite numb. It was perfectly fine at HSO Spa with Endurance 1954 (my left foot was the biggest issue there), but the high precision steering on an oval is a different thing. I brushed the wall at least eight times. Another thing is the clutch. I'll probably have to map it to a button, as the left foot is useless. And probably the worst thing for the 500 is peeing. I had a tube in there for four months and I'm not able to hold it for too long. Definitely not for 3,5 hours. Well, I guess I'll see. The main thing is that racing still makes fun. If not more than ever

thanks for the setup alberto. just a heads up, steering rotation is adjusted in this setup to match alberto's physical wheel, most will want to set it back to default (540), or to their normal steering rotation value.

Last time I pasted it into an existing setup svm file, it seemed to be a bit off with the formating(and some lines different, maybe because different car), so had to adjust that a little

Alberto, is it possible to give me back the setup for the Eagle 72? I must have made a mistake and not save ... :| ;)
