A bit of history : West Palm Beach marked a radical change from Daytona : although staying in Florida, the IMSA GTP racers were now battling it out on a tight and twisty urban track. This didn't bother Team Jaguar at all as Davy Jones clinched the win in style after a dominating performance. Wayne Taylor brought the brand new Intrepid home at an encouraging 2nd place, while Geoff Brabham's Nissan rounded up the top three after a steady race.

Here now to confirm my entry for Round 2.

Présent avec ma Momo Porsche #30.

I'll make an attempt to connect Saturday morning but chances are I won't be able to stay connected. Put me on as tentative, and if I manage to stay connected to the server I'll make sure there's an empty spot before starting qualifying. I don't want to take someone else's confirmed spot with a connection that's as poor as mine. (Incidentally my connection is great, I've had no problems downloading files at 1.5-2MB/s, and my server ping is 166, but the quality is pathetic. I'm on a wired connection as well but I can't imagine that's causing much of a problem.)

Le coup du volant hyper sensible en ligne droite et mou en courbes c'est parfois une inversion des réglages ffb ou un truc comme ça. Tu as essayé de désinstaller/réinstaller le profiler, les pilotes et tout le bouzin ?

Oui, désinstallé, réinstallé, mais toujours pareil.
Le volant est dans les simus comme il est sous windows, y a une résistance quand on tourne, mais linéaire. Et mou sur 10° de gauche à droite, transition entre le mou et le dur hyper marqué.

Aucune vibration quand je roule sur les vibreurs, si je lâche le volant et que je fonce dans un mur, le volant ne bouge pas.

J'avais deja du ressenti bizarre depuis le début de l'année, mais là c'est mort, ou alors faut que je mette à zéro le FFB dans le profiler mais c'est pas une solution..

Will not be their My wheel is dead
