The biggest difference between the USGT times at this race vs FWD were that the "fast" lap time in usgt was 9.60, which is only slightly faster than FWD. But they were maintaining 9.6 to 9.0 for the majority of the run in usgt.

If we don't have enough in each class at our club we will run the FWD and USGT cars together. I run USGT and it's an interesting race. Coming out of the tight corner leading onto the straight I will leave the FWD cars by a few feet as they struggle getting straight line traction. But with less weight they will catch up quickly in the tight sections.

Thought this thread would enjoy my matching seven20 gt cars. Usgt is a cero ultra v2.

I run in 21.5 TC also and notice quite a bit of difference in how the USGT tires wear and handle.

How do you guys differ your setup for the RIDE/GravityRC tires vs TC tires? Are you running same, more or less camber? Any other setup differences to accommodate for the characteristics of those tires?

I run on high grip asphalt in mostly warm conditions, we typically run 36R TC tires.

Interested to know your setup tips!

On asphalt I would run 2 degrees camber front and rear for TC tires. In USGT I would run 1.5 in the rear and 1 in the front.

I typically only run on CRC black carpet, though my USGT and Stock Touring cars are generally setup identically other than camber, and USGT typically is 1.0-deg less than Stock Touring. I've found this provides the best tire wear on USGT without compromising grip.

In my experience, if you want to make a significant change in camber, and if your tires already have a significant amount of runs on them, a camber change of more than 0.5-deg will generally result in sub-optimal performance cause the tires will not be making the correct amount of track surface contact since they have already worn to a different camber setting that caused increased wear on the inside or outside edges of the tire. If that is your case, my suggestion would be to install new tires and try the new camber setting..

What car is this supposed to be?

ARES-1 1/10 GT On-Road Body by Bittydesign

https://www.aresdesign.com/en-us/
New supercar.

I guess it is loosely based on the ARES-S1. I don't know if they do actually have a version like this.

Looks a little similar to the Zoo Racing Bwoah body profile.

Hadn't heard of this Ares before. Since they’re a small company, seems Bitty can get away with calling it Ares.

initially thought it was the Maserati MC20 but it’s too longer.

Has anyone raced the Exotek GT-F body yet? How does it compare to the P1z, Bwoah, etc?

The back of the car is squared off compared to the real car. Maybe it's for molding purposes?

I think they were going for this version-

Shock towers/bulkheads/body posts are probably too low on even the current generation cars to fit a body that was scale accurate to that.

Just get a car that doesn't have shock towers: A800 or IRIS. The P1Z comes with two cut lines, one for shock tower cars and a higher cut line for the A800/IRIS.
