Default Put it in "R" for Racing ;p

Relax, have fun. Just race yourself, not the clown next to you.

Default Mod list?

I do the ole' hold it at 4k... stab it as the last yellow shows and let er go. 1.6 60" with an RS4 pp and feramic disc.

For a K03 and a stock clutch I'd lower it a few hundred RPM, still did a ton of 1.7's that way.

Default lol because I did 5 runs on Friday and my clutch will be slipping for a couple weeks. I drop the

clutch at about 3800.

Last time, I did just 2 runs and the clutch was okay (minor slipping in 6th only).

Of course, my clutch was probably already abused when I bought it used... so hopefully others don't have such problems.
