Status Report

Here are some things that are going on behind the scene at YSAR.

1. The Yaris has a new engine. Hopefully we’ll finish the install this weekend. Then there’s a bit of prep work to do before the 24 Hours of Lemons race at Sonoma where we hope to get classed in C so we have a chance to win something.
2. Ross Bentley just announced his Speed Secrets Sim Racer Academy. I got a subscription to that and I’m going to do a review of it and maybe some other similar products.
3. I have a bunch of sim racing experiments I want to do. In the past, I had done some experiments with tires and power, but I want to redo those and add aero to the equation. I’m also really interested in the differences between FWD and RWD, especially on different kinds of surfaces.

Some of my best posts are inspired from YSAR readers, so if you have something you want me to write about, please drop me an email.
