It's great to be able to hop on anytime and practice in traffic. This sim keeps getting better and better.

Now I just need to get to 4.0 SR so I can race the DP when it gets released.

I am still getting a "down for maint" message Wes. Can you get on now? It was up when I checked it on my phone about an hour ago but seems to be back down now.
Don't forget that they are putting the DP up for "pre-purchace" since it was delayed a week so you can get the discount if you are buying 3 things at once.

Never mind. It was just getting hammered all at once and was too busy. All is good now.

I am excited to check out the new build as soon as I get a chance.

Once you get a good setup it is a blast David! Without a setup you can't keep the car under you.
The COT has the "spec" tachometer and other dash gauges. Going down pit road in 2nd gear it glows green if you are at optimal speed. You get too fast it goes red. You get way too fast it flashes red. Nice.
Spotter is nice too. Dave has already updated his JJ spotter to replace the iRacing voice.
You can also see who is in each practice session before joining so if your nemesis is in there you can go to another one. lol
