rF2 GT Multi-Class @ Bahrain - Wed 22nd Oct

[Frederic Schornstein]

I'll give this a bash! May give camaro a go but seems slower than the gtr but the gtr is bad on tyres?

It is only 45min, so it shouldnt be a problem and Bahrain is not that tire hungry The GTR is definetely some seconds quicker than the GT2 and GT3.

I think the GTR and Corvette use soft tires and the camaro use hard tires. Drivers with the correct driving style shouldn't have any problems managing tires for 45mins for either GTR or Corvette, especially as Frederic said Bahrain is not hard on tires. I think the GTR will be 4-5sec faster than the corvette and another second or two faster than the camaro.

I still haven't decided class, but GT2 seems to be getting competetive ^^.

S E R V E R . I S . U P !

Think I'll go gt3 but I'll see what everyone else does.

I did about 5 laps in the gt1 gtr and tyres were red lol

Then you are definetely doing something wrong

Was hoping for a bit more sign ups, but pretty hard to get with all the leauge racing.
Still I am not sure which car to take at the moment
Maybe we can hand out some weight penalties after qualy to equal out the field

@David O'Reilly I guess you have admin rights in the server. You can use the following command to add weight. I have raced with weight in the BTCC and it provides fun and close races, but you have to put in a chunk to slow someone down so 100 to 200kg

Setmass without a batchfile [manual]

Login as admin on the server
type: /setmass 75 Tim Wheatley
would give Tim 75KG's on his car for the remaining of the weekend.
/setmass 0 Tim Wheatley would clear him again

OK Ill give it a go.
If we are 3 or 4 I guess we better all drive the same car. I haven't many laps in the C6 so will try to set one up today and get some laps in case its that car.
That is unless you want to show me how to drive the GTR that is Freddy

Or you take the GTR plus some weight

P.S. Dont forget, that the Corvette has no auto-blip. I think in terms of weight 50kg should be around 3 to 5 tenth in laptime, but that is only based on the Civic. I think the maximum you can go to is 250kg, that would be a truck then

 

[Jason]

Hate to do this lads but seeing as there are only the 4 of us and I'm racing with you tmrw night I think I'm gonna try the GSCE club race tonight! Soz to bail on ya

If we get the weight right, we will have a close battle even with only 4 cars

 

[Simon Christmann]

I will try to be there.

Btw the the maximum ballast is 255kg

I remember the Bahrain practice race for VWEC when it took me 6-7 laps to pull a gap on you in the C6.
OK I had excuses I was running full fuel and was saving tyres to do a 1 stop etc etc.
Maybe I have improved? I don't know.
Maybe I give myself the weight of a pair of dice on the rear view and a nodding dog on the parcel shelf and a bag of groceries,

say 25kg

I dont want the front row of the local rugby team in the car.

 

[David O'Reilly]

I was doing some practice in the GTR GT1 and was just marvelling at how the car moves around under you. On the video its very apparent the little movements and corrections.

I think we should go all with one car. I could take the maximum ballast and you could take none and we can see how much of an effect it has. Just 4 or 5 drivers so we can fool around with it and test it a bit.

Which one?

 

[Frederic Schornstein]

Which one?

I could take everything expect the GT4. I need some horses under the hood

Well Fred as you are quite strong in the C6 might I suggest we take the GTR.
C6 Next time?

 

[Simon Christmann]

That is what you will get then lol

Heavier cars have a huge advantage if there is contact between two cars
