Hi team,

I'll do my best to make qualifying but due to family circumstances I may be a little late. I'll definitely try to make it to Race #1 tonight. (I don't think that not qualifying is going to make a tremendous difference in my grid position )

Some good racing last night...

It was awesome! Despite being royally last - as per usual - it was great fun. I could have possibly be up one or two places each race I think if I had not made some big mistakes that caused me to go off track or cook my tires to a point that I just had to pit. I think fiddling with the diff may actually help as one of my biggest problem was fighting the rear on accelerating out of the corners. (which caused the excessive tire wear and once caused me to plow into the wall, hence the required pit stop.)

There is a section on setting up your car here https://www.kiwisimracing.net.nz/forum/ ... =4&t=18147
Understanding what your car is doing will help too. Maybe looking at "spinning on corner exit under power" might help. Also feel free to ask questions on the night as there is a lot of information out there.

I am hoping to do a setup guide at some point to help out
