Correct

 

[Blue Monkey]

Looking really forward to this, I'm 100% in

 

[Michael]

Open wheelers and a track I am not familiar with... double-nope. But have fun everyone!

 

[The Wayfaerer]

@Shepard both car and track are pretty easy to pick up, as the 2014 Indycar GP layout is used which isn't the most difficult track

 

[Michael]

@The Wayfaerer I might give it a try this week, but my inner voice keeps telling me "this is not for you...".

 

[Jakeyy]

Down for this one.

I'm guessing Race 2's start procedure will be different?

As I guess we can't do a standing with a reversed grid on the in game light system?

 

[Puffpirat]

So turns out the car is quite a handful in those weather conditions while it's ok in TT for example. I checked with Manu and we will change the weather to something more suited. The race with open wheelers will be hard enough Manu will post something official tomorrow

If you struggle with the setup, there are times from @Cluck , @SBart_uk and me on the leaderboard. You can grab the setup there and use it as a baseline Radiator needs to be upped obviously and fuel usage is about 1l/min.

 

[Cluck]

My setup was 100% standard IIRC. I only had a quick play to see what the combo was like as I'm not sure I'll take part in the race (I'm really not a fan of the circuit at all )

I used your ghost as a benchmark and there's loads of time left for you to find, as you were off the racing line for some of your lap. I still couldn't keep up though, as you carry so much speed into the corners! I need to learn to be much more aggressive with these cars.

I also feel the same as you about the track, but I'm still planning on racing as I need the experience.

 

[SlowBloke]

Shocked at how bad this combo feels - the track has no feedback / bite at all with Formula C its like driving on glass.

Corners 5/6 there is literally nothing coming through the wheel as the car loses grip.

Try out July instead of October. The date will be corrected tonight

 

[SharkyOB]

Ah, beautiful! I was practising using October as the date so that change should definitely help.

Thanks Manu - its better than before but a open wheeler should not feel so mushy. Definitely a car that has taken steps back imo compared to PC1. (not trying to be negative - plenty of cars are a joy to drive on other tracks but this combo just does not feel right still).

 

[Jamesl91]

What lap times is everyone doing? Im not actually racing for this event but just curious to know having done some practice to help others..

The FC feels that bad because of the ambient/track temps. The tires are not working on those low temperatures. We need to be even more sensible now when do we drive what

If you go into July, it is a blast. The new FC from pC2 is a mix of the old Formula C and the Formula Gulf. It is very hard to compare both of it.
