       Sebring is coming up

       We're about 3 weeks away from Sebring event. I think it's a good
       idea to start focusing on it and figure out what we're doing.
       I got a setup I'm working on that should be around 1:51-1:52 on
       full load, but it is a bit loose. Even more so than my Daytona
       setup which was actually pretty stable but can step out if
       you're really pushing. Ideally I would like to be part of a 2
       driver branch of the team. (I wonder if iRacing will ever let a
       team have more than one car.. would come in handy for big
       teams).
       Shorter event means that we will not be able to have all of us
       in one car for more than a stint-and-a-half so I'd say maximum
       of 4 drivers, 3 preferred, just to make sure people have drive
       time.

       Sorry haven't been very active, busy with life stuff...
       But yes let's start organizing and get things setup schedule
       wise with how many cars and so on.
       I'll restart the car discussion and take it from there, setup
       testing would be nice, thanks Sergey for your efforts so far!

       Ive been putting in some laps here and there, no real full
       stints though.
       I just cant find any speed here. 1:52's is about it for me so
       far. Im kind of torn between the low and mid downforce setups at
       the moment. Low downforce is obviously much faster over a lap,
       but over 12 hours im not so sure, id feel much better having the
       extra control of the car for a long race since like we saw in
       daytona, all the top cars were running a couple seconds a lap
       off their quali laptimes to avoid accidents... one hit and we
       lose 2-5 sec per lap for sure.
       I would agree with Sergey that we probably have enough people to
       have at least 2 teams with less drivers, i would probably prefer
       a 3 man car personally. lots of seat time, plus less swaps to
       eliminate problems

       Problem with medium downforce is with Sebring you'll deal with
       traffic all the time and getting past them. There aren't a lot
       of passing zones on the twisty bit so you rely almost solely on
       fast straights for that. There are only a few of those so why
       have all that downforce if you'll be stuck behind GT traffic
       probably 75% of the time in the corners. Just saying.
