I realise that, but there's slow, and there's too slow. If I can't even compete with... anyone, then how safe is it for me to be there? or what's the point?

Hell I'm still struggling to keep the bleeding car on the road for more than 3 laps...

EDIT= Improvement is happening. Just put in a pair of 1:17s. 1:17.2 is now my pb...

Then I crashed. Hard.

Hi

dont worry, theres usually about a 5-6 second spread anyway, I know, mostly I am at the back!!

btw, try short shifting out of the slow corners if you cant fix it via set up.

Can i be Sutil please?

I think its in the setup's thread, unless you made big revisions Reik?

No major changes, but i'll upload it as soon as possible, when i'm home and tested it on the new track version, linked by Ivo.

With 60L and softs my best was a 1:14.6 so far. Came out to be about 2.57L per lap. If my calculations are right (most of the time not lol), does 73L sound right for 3 laps in quali and 20 min race?

Hm... my motec says in average per lap i need 2,62 L. So if i calculate safe with laps of 1:15:000 it takes 1,25 minutes per lap. A 20 mins race should exactly have 16 laps then. Adding 3 laps for qualy and multiplicating with 2,62 L i get ~50 L for qualy and race. But it doesn't sound much fuel. Am i wrong on something?

Trying to keep up with the fast guys is not really the way to go for your first few races. I think thats the reason times aren't meant to be posted on the forums.

Maybe you're right, but i think we have a fine mix of higher skilled and lower skilled drivers here. So everyone should be free to share and discuss anything here - also lap times. I think it's better than making a mystery around setups, because i heared rumors in other sub forums, that slower drivers could become demotivated if the better drivers don't like to share there knowledge and setups. And he, if one shares tips and a setup, i also want to know which time he reached with it. (if then only the setup makes him that fast can be doubted, but that's an other thing...)
And every one here is gentleman driver enough to know, that consistancy has more priority than improving single lap times...

 

[Chris Heller]

Barrichello for me please Guess I have a solution to fix rFactor

no need to change anything, as the track itself seems to be the same

yep you forget that there is also the formation lap!!! so you miss one lap in your count!!!! and also put 1 or 2 more liters for be safe!!!

FSONE server is up.

 

[Jim McGhee]

woop... I will be on tonight..

 

[Luke Morgan]

Just put in some practice on the server. My laptimes seem to be lurking in the very early 1:16s. Pulled out a 1:15.3 from somewhere, new PB. Still can't seem to keep on-track for more than 4 laps... :s

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

I'd like to try them, is there something I should know about them before jump into the grid? (last empty slot)

It looks like there is a typo in on of the folders in the archive. The folder "location" should actually be named "locations". I extracted the top folder of the archive and the track did not show up in game.
