Well, I started a little late, but this week at VIR will conclude my first ever season of open setup in the FF1600, which has been one of my most challenging yet rewarding experience in sim-racing yet. I got to top split for my first time and the learning curve was steep! I am incredibly grateful for your videos Ed. Your commentary on the tactical and race-craft considerations associated with different corners and straights of each track has been gold for me. And your driving finesse sets me a solid standard to aim for. As an old dog struggling with new tricks, I can't thank you enough mate. I really enjoy your set-ups, and after much effort, I've even learned to get those dang camber and toe changes to stick! I'll be back next season with a shiny new B License I hope. Lastly, congratulations and good show on your own performance in the season. Bravo, and cheers. 🍺

Well, I am blushing 😊. I'm glad it's helped. This is a really fun car to drive. I look forward to next season, hopefully with a lot of new tracks. There are a lot of tracks that this car would be a great combo for that haven't been on the calendar yet. See you next season! 🍻

Big thanks for all your guides and setups again this season Edward - it's really appreciated. I see you're currently in the top 5 overall so well done and well deserved. Still loving this car, just wish they would avoid the less popular tracks - it's no fun racing against only 5 or 6 other cars. Look forward to seeing you on a wet track next season (maybe).

I'm glad it's helping! Hopefully, participation grows, and people realizing open setup is not really harder than fixed. I hope they add Long Beach or Chicago for the next season

@@edwardbuchanan871 Long Beach is in for next season, but not Chigaco. There's a thread with the schedule in the Ray section of the iracing forum.

@@edwardbuchanan871 Trying to work out why you're still so much faster than me 🤣 Have you button-mapped your clutch for upshifts now? It looks like you're dropping it really fast. I'm using a foot clutch and just pushing it as little as possible to drop it into gear but I can see on Garager61 telemetry that I'm loosing out a little bit to the fastest guys on the straights. Of course, talent might come into the equation too 😀

@NickAronson no I use a pedal clutch. A button, it's all or nothing. The pedal helps in corners. Sometimes, you have to ease it on or off
