I use my g27 as sequencial on the 3th and 4th speed, dont have any issue, and im using a clutch.

The mustang needs finesse in the driving, lot of it. Ill send u my setup maybe, might fix your trail braking issue. Car turns plenty as long as you are not above 100% of what the front tires can handle, 0.001% above that you drive a snow plow.

Going back and fourth between the F1 and the Stang for me sure gets a couple of hourd of getting used to :) Dont forget the Mustang is a 3300 lbs car, she aint no throw me around to correct my mistakes rookie car I think.

Fun car for me.

By all means - I'd love to see your setup.  I kept the baseline unchanged and was running in the 1:23's and 1:24's at Main.

What I'd really like is for the season to end so I can get promoted and jump into a FM.

Why wait for the season to end? Get your SR above 4.0 and enjoy the fm.

Presently, I think Im a bit too aggressive (read: n00b) to get there.  I have been hovering around 3.50 and change.

The benefit of this is that when the season does end if your SR is above 3.00 you are promoted again.

Here is an example, your sitting at week 11 with a 3.53 SR Class C rating. Say you elect to let your SR go
and just get promoted at the end of the season. When the next season starts your sitting at 2.53 SR in
Class B. In order to be promoted again your looking at improving your SR 1.47 (fast track) or .47 while
waiting 12 weeks.

Now say you did fast track and bring your SR to above 4.0 Class C, your awarded an additional .4 and then
promoted to the next class. Your SR is now 3.4 in Class B, here is where the benefit comes in, in a week
you'll be promoted to a Class A with an SR of 2.4!

If you wait you'll need to earn full point more SR to reach the same level. Not only do you get to enjoy the
new cars you have to work on your SR less.

In Saurdaukar's case that would not apply as he is a Class B already but to all the Rookie and Class C-D it
really will get you into the higher levels rather quickly.

We have 8 weeks remaining I believe on this season FYI....

If anyone has not bought the truck and raced it at Tally or Daytona you are SERIOUSLY missing out.

If your not high enough on the SR just race the hosted sessions and mind your manners. They will
give you a break if something happens but goof up twice and your done. I asked to drop to the field
three times in a 55 lap race, top ten in each. With ten to go started to climb my way up and nailed
a top 5 (4th) out of 32.

Couple of tricks and tips:

Set your steering ratio to 16:1
Set your steering wheel lock (controls menu-top left) to 180-270 (I use 180 with joystick)
Drag your brake to avoid the other guys bumper, it upsets the car less than throttle and is easier.
You don't have to touch to give a good push, close is good enough for the most part.
If your concerned about driving in a pack ask for an "End of Line" penalty or pit with one to go.
Stock advance sets are good enough to run with the leaders in draft.

I literally did this three times and made it back to the front in a few laps. You can even elect to
stay back there as the race goes to finish. You can really beat and bang on these trucks too,
they are very stable compared to the Cup car. So stable in fact that you can draft bumper to
bumper all the way around Tally.

If you like restrictor plate racing this is where its at!

Here you go Sardaukar : 1 21.1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fylSZ8tyyg (Let me know if the link works).

There should be a lot of room for improvement as I'm not really familiar with the Mustang any more, and I'm trying a new pedal setup. It was just the best out of a 30 min practice, you'll probably consistantly smoke that after a couple of hours of practice, but I thought it might give you ideas.

The Setup will make the car BEG to be overdriven, so don't get carried away. Will trail brake gently and you can rotate the car with throttle as needed in the twisties.
Tell me how that works for you, if you feel a diff with vs the default.

Front toe -1/16
ARB Soft
Preload 0.4 ft.lbs

LF 26PSI    RF 24.5 PSI
Bump +20
Rebound +60
Camber -2.1
Caster +8.3
Perch LF 1.500      RF 1.656

LR 23.0 PSI    RR 21.5 PSI
Bump +17
Rebound  -30
Camber -0.3
Perch LR 3.281      RR 3.406

Rear Toe +2/16
ARB None

Might feel twitchy for the first few laps but I like it because you still have turning abilities toward the end of the race when others toasted their front tires.  :old:

You can drive the Skippy right now in a test session, go find out for yourself.

Watch out for the off throttle oversteer!
