Counterpoint. The back n forth balances your own ir so that the gtp races don't get so ridiculously hard that you don't even try

With cars that have any amount of down force is trusting the car to roll some center speed. Especially coming from stock cars that's still a very strange feeling, and almost always where I find that I'm losing my time. Usually under braking and trying to find where I actually run out of df helps

I think for right now endurance vs sprint is no different, but there used to be other different pads that were just about how much friction they had. Maybe that has changed though I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I looked at a setup that close. I do think one of the big learning curves

Is it an issue regardless of setup? I know you can change pad compounds and whatnot. If it's happening anyway then I would just work on trying to under brake, or drive the car with no abs in a practice session to try and develop some muscle memory maybe?

We just avoid the curbs basically. But before bop of a Porsche is .6 behind me (Cadillac) exiting the bus stop they're next to me by t1, but if I'm directly in their draft I just hold my ground. I did one imsa and decided that was enough. Daytona is the worst track for this sort of issue tho

Yeaaa. We did a charity race a couple weeks ago and realized how of the Porsche was in that, and it seems even worse with the low fuel in imsa. But in the practice sessions for the 24 it doesn't seem *as* bad

That Porsche is also incredibly op while the Cadillac is terribly slow on the oval. Sucks that the 24 bop doesn't apply to normal imsa races

I never thought there'd be a more hyped sports car season for me then 2023, but I think this year is taking the top spot. So many names doing really cool stuff

It at least makes that strategy actually interesting, instead of just the default

Shit I didn't mean to leave you hanging. I don't think we have room for another driver in the 24 but maybe for future races? Although we usually use the Corvette/the Cadillac

You ever make a decision on the 24?

Strays last 2 albums are very on point this week. May I also suggest "contempt of cop" by Tsunami

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the β€œlargest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead

Survived one of the worst years personally I've ever had, but also bought a house. Just hoping next year takes it a little easier

This one genuinely makes me nauseous to read though. The people that wanted to go after an imagined group of child sex traffickers elected a fucking sex trafficker and now they're just pretending they didnt

Saw a great video that summed this shit up. Right wingers have positions that fall apart in the face of evidence in logic, so they get terrible grades when they're required to defend a position. Then they claim discrimination when they didn't do the shit correctly in the first place.

As a mechanic it's literally always "my car is doing this weird thing..." And they expect a free diagnosis without even seeing the car. Pretty neat

I swear, if dumb fucking people could just grasp the difference between correlation and causation we'd solve 90% of the world's problems

A Cadillac switch would have made the most sense imo but who knows.
