Welp, at least there's refunds!

I might also try hooking up my DS4 and maybe the triggers on that will be better.

We haven't actually seen the telemetry, we don't know, and no one will know, what the usual acceleration point for that corner is under a saftey car going x speed. it's the second race, and they changed the kerbs, the data just won't be there. This isn't Spa where they have truckloads of data from previous races, at Bacu they won't be able to prove or disprove diddly poo poo. What they can't do is stand up and go "well we dunno ask us in 10 races time" because that opens up the proverbial can of worms.

IMO he lost concentration because he was fiddling with his buttons, complaining about the SC speed, or looking at a sign and simply made a mistake.

That's quite some mental gymnastics to double down with, well done!

So I've made a small album of my 7 year old niece's go kart meet from a couple of weekends ago. She races a FA Kart, which I was recently informed from this thread is just a rebranded TonyKart. I've blurred out the faces of my brother and my niece because I'm a bit paranoid about all this new, fan-dangled internet business. All the other faces I don't care about obviously.

She's trying her hardest at the moment, and although she wasn't the only girl racer in the grid, she was definitely not the best girl racer, or the best racer in general.
She got tapped off of the track a couple times and spun out by herself a few of times, but she managed to finish 9th (out of ~14 racers) in one of the racers, so theres that.

This is the track layout for those wondering.


That Asturian flag/Nando lid livery is awesome. Hope your niece sticks with it and one day makes Lance Stroll eat poo poo.

I hope so too! But judging by the current pace of new rookie recruits, she's got 8-10 years to be F1 ready!
I really like the Nando livery too on the kart, she's still not sure what type of helmet livery she wants, but it needs to be pink, but not Ocon pink.

Kind of. They didn't see an improvement in lap time but they saw a higher top speed. Their test also didn't include all the new parts and mappings they've brought to recent races.
