Soooooooooooo close

I tried Pam's setup but didn't find it any faster. The setup used for this laptop was basically the same as default but with 5L of fuel (as it should be for time trial), 20% brake duct, 10% radiator and 0 camber.

 

[Jonno]

Thought I'd do a few laps (ran 5 laps in total) just to see what my pace might have been like. Did a 1m22.526s lap on 100% default setup, with ABS as the only assist.

Going to tinker with the settings now to see what can come out of that in a 'quali setup'

Seriously.....i got two words for you cluck and one is off lol...
 
Ohhh Cmon and here comes cluck to spoil the party with his very nearly 21 dead lol...but hey look at that my name up near clucks AAAAVVVVIT....

 

[Cluck]

Don't panic, I'm not racing, just seeing what was possible. There's a few tenths to come out of that time still.

And anyway, as I proved on Sunday, come race day, I'd just finish near the back of the pack

 

[Reiche]

Any predictions on race pace for the mid pack? I did two simulations of the 2nd race today to practice consistency.. Of course, I ended up last, but I felt like my laptimes were quite okay. I'm not sure about the "most of the time" laptimes, but fastest laps were .23:01 and .23.99 with .22:59 and .22:559 theoretical bests...

All of this with Pamellaaa's second setup. Tires didn't get too hot for me unless I spun the car...

 

[Invincible]

Would some be up for a quick practice session?

 

[Tom]

Yes please

See you in Teamspeak

I'm planning to be there this evening. My plan: start with default setup and see where I end! Oh yeah..........and doing my first lap with this car-track combo during quali........of course ;-)

I'll be sailing the same boat, but I may take Pammmmmlaaaaaaa's setup.

Fuel consumption is roughly 1,9 - 2,1 L per lap. Just a small hint so you don't go completely unprepared.
So 26 litres for race 1 and 50 litres for race 2 should should be enough

 

[2scoops]

Are tyres lasting for 50L?

 

[Invincible]

I did a practice race for race 2 yesterday (22 + 1 Laps) and I still had roughly 60% rubber left all around

Are tyres lasting for 50L?

50 L means 50 litres, not laps

 

[2scoops]

Yeah, not properly awake yet

 

[Reiche]

Quick questions as I'm still not too familiar with all the procedures: is there a chance to change some values in the setup between Q/R1 and R1/R2? I was thinking about some more aggressive tire pressures and cooling which would make changes necessary..

Edit:

Basically this post tells me: yes, it is. Still needing more caffeine.

 

[Tom]

is there a chance to change some values in the setup between Q/R1 and R1/R2?

Yep. The admins will reset or create a second server for the next race, and we'll all join in a practice session to check controls as usual. You can do it then, but you'll need to be quick. There will probably be a quick break between races, so you could do it in the select car/garage screens from the lobby too.

This should be a close one tonight, providing I keep out of the sand.

 

[Cluck]

I've had to cancel my dinner plans tonight so I'm around but I still won't be racing. My stomach is still too delicate to guarantee that I won't have to leave mid-race . Hope you have a good race guys, I love Laguna Seca and the Cadillac felt like good fun from the few laps I drove with it (I don't think I've driven it before, not since I took some screenshots of it and the Corvette)

Get well mate, wrong thread though

Corrected it

 

[Cluck]

Doh . Cheers Manu. I'm really not with it you know.

 

[m4nu]

What a chaotic race Once again sorry for it although we can't do much about it. As I already mentioned it was a steam related issue which was just unfortunate... Let's hope next race will be better
