Scott Webber · Jan 31, 2012

wow, hard car to drive (i know that anwyays) but this car and that track is hard, great fun but hard.

Quali went "ok" , i decided to use a Default setup for the race, oh boy that was a big mistake, the car wouldn't turn in, i had no confidence, then the braking just went bad to worse and i went off on T3, i shrouldered around which took me 3 minutes LOL, i came out hoping for the best but my suspension was so bad my steering wheel was pointing right to the left yet my car was going straight (really bad)

Next race will be on Thursdays Night with the V8's at Interlagos.... go get some practice, we're have a very decent and interesting race next week, hopefully better then this tonight.

Robert Wiesenmüller · Jan 31, 2012

Hmmm, these cars are really hard to drive. At SRE we drive them with anti-lock-brakes on low, which makes it a lot easier. I wasn't slow but I made a couple of mistakes where I just locked up.
I wouldn't recommend these cars for a league without driving aids yet because most of the field, including myself, aren't ready for it. Every race I participated in here had less than 50% finishers.

Von Butters · Jan 31, 2012

Hey folks, what was the quali times?

Dan Watson · Jan 31, 2012

These cars are REALLY hard to drive. Easy to lock brakes and spin under power.

Apologies for turning up really late, thought the event started at 8pm GMT instead of 7pm GMT. As a result, missed qualifying, but had a fun race. Got into a groove with these cars, provided I was careful with both pedals! Was catching Reto quite quickly, wondered why....turned out I had miscalculated how much fuel I needed for the race, and ran out with 5 mins to go! Bugger!

A league with these cars would be great, but they would be VERY challenging for newcomers, and veterans alike! I have no issues with some driver aids being allowed for a league.

Stefan Woudenberg · Jan 31, 2012

Bad racing from me. I just cannot get into a flow on this circuit. Every lap a different breaking point/steer in point. Oversteer/understeer.... grrrrrr.... did 25 laps and was able to have 2 timed laps... Very dissapointing....

Reto was going round and round and round like a rocket..... unbelievable....
Congrats M8! Great driving and control over this beast!

Noel Spence · Jan 31, 2012

congrats to reto he was quick badluck to dan , and good on young scotty for setting up the server, i do not mind all assists off for a league its great fun

Reto Christiani · Feb 1, 2012

I have to admit that I practice a lot those Formula Classics. the reason is quiet simple: when I go SimRacing, I drive the F1C.
for me it is the best SimMod that I have ever driven in SimRacing and all other cars are by far less challenging!
and it seems that all over other forums they love the Formula Classic ... but where are all those F1C fans ...?!?
anyway was a good race and those F1C-beasts manage to get me into this loved "sphere of full concentration" and only after crossing the finish line, I realized that I was the only one left on the track.
as I posted at the beginning of this thread, I think it would be a good idea (like the SRE settings) to allow low ABS. even with a brake duct of 1 and pressure set to 82%, the wheels lock up to easily and my tires suffered a lot. plus it doesn't feel "real" because one of the main power of a F1 car are their brakes (even in 88).
thanks to all for the fun fun-race ... I hope we'll manage to keep this evenings alive despite the low participation, but this game deserves it!!!

Reto Christiani · Feb 1, 2012

and here the result of
- Race 1

Stefan Woudenberg · Feb 1, 2012

Thanx Reto for the results. I topped the incident list.

...... again......

Scott Webber · Feb 1, 2012

i aree, maybe next time if we we're to use these cars are to allow the ABS on very low
