Hey. No apology needed. As long as you had fun, That's all it matters. ;) I actually have to apologize because I had to leave you to run DE3 download meeting. Wish we had more time to carry more conversation. Speaking of conversation, conversation on IT during the session as we were going...
as for cusco, do both or don't do it at all. when turning around corners on track, if you do it properly, you will feel chassis twisting because rear is rolling while front is not.
if you are driving only on street, use stock. if this is for show, should do both anyway. For drag... Do you...
This is my take. fyi. I run at NASA NE events.
Engine - I run stock and hasn't been issue at full 20 min. sessions.
Suspension - I only have anti-roll bar, front & rear and alignment from AZP. this change was specific to NJMP lightning turn 3/4 sequence. I haven't felt bump steer yet...
There are so many races much better than f1 these days. if you liked IMSA races, also check out MX-5 cup series (IMSA) in youtube or F1 Academy in YT as well.
here's a challenge. this is an actual run of Porsche Taycan turbo GT on Nurburgring.
Can you get close or faster with bone stock Porsche Taycan Turbo S in GT7?
Stock programming of automatic transmission will do its best to protect the engine as mentioned above. Also, If you pull a stunt to spin 180 and rolling backward, car will put transmission to neutral.
As others said, correct as much as possible. also, ask ppf people if you need to wait for paint correction to be cured and follow their instruction. if it's not cured correctly, it may peel off. just for reference, full panel paint curing time is 3 weeks minimum.
Sorry to burst your hope but this will be replica from 2023. But in other hand, I hope the interest of F1 dies down a bit... attending the race in person is ridiculous these days... F1 has been jacking up prices and compacting people like salmon x2 in the venue. hard to enjoy like used to..
