AC GT2 & GT3 @ Spa-Francorchamps - Friday 5th June 2015

[Jeremy Talbot]

Awesome! First race I've been in with a mandatory pitstop, should happen more often

 

[RenZ_]

Hmm, the GTR requires too much effort to drive...I'd like to change to P45 please!

Bring it on!

On high track grip the GTR is ~1.5s a lap faster, happily I think anything below 98% its hard to drive so we will be pretty competitive.

Hey chaps, all drivers in this race will now have to make a mandatory pitstop at some points during the race.
Let's mix it up

Interdesting

Have you devised a way to determine someone has actually pitted?

This will actually make the GTR a bit more manageable I think.

Nope. Just an honors system.

I'm curious as to your setup for this car Ben... I feel like I've reached a decent compromise in my setup for around here. I found changes in the diff made a substantial improvement to the cars spastic behavior on corner entry.

On a side note. Its hilarious how bad this car is with TC on. I had it on by accident at one point. The car simply doesnt move in first gear with it on haha.

muuwhahaha

 

[Matheus Machado]

These are my setups for the 458 and GTR. In 93% grip the Ferrari runs a low 2:21 and the Nissan a mid 2:23. With 100% grip they can do around 2:17 and 2:19 respectively

These numbers are with me driving of course, maybe some aliens can take off some time.

The march 2015 is the 458 one.

 

[Ashley Cowan]

Can I take the Nissan NISMO GTR GT3?

 

[RenZ_]

Here are my GTR sets, they were for 100% track grip (32c) though and may not work so well at a realistic setting.

I actually setup a Google Drive account to store sets, do you guys mind if I post the link here?

Edit: or do you guys have a similar system of sharing setups already?

There is a setup section on the site. On the AC main hub

Thanks. I probably should have looked,

Edit: ramble removed.

 

[Tony]

Have put up a practice server but not all the cars with 200 lap race just to practice pit stops if you want

 

[Jeremy Talbot]

Nice! I was just about to do exactly that,, cheers Tony

my saved set up wont let me on track? any ideas why?

Does it say: "Setup invalid Click to check again" ? If it does your car is too low.

You're likely too low the ground. GT cars have a rule where they must be 60mm or more in ride height. Just raise your ride height and/or stiffen your suspension until you meet the rule.


Edit: Cheers Sun

 

[Carlos De la Torre]

Guys sorry, I won't be making it out on the track for this one. Something unexpectedly came up that I have to take care of. Sorry again. Enjoy the race and I hope to race with you fellas soon.

 

[Nick Milton]

Yep , had to raise, renz advised me also, just done a practise pit, so have to click the tyre icon and fuel to move on? Thought I was quick practising offline, but renz just smashed me by 5 seconds!!!!

 

[kedy89]

Realized that it's been a while since I last drove GT cars, 5s missing to my PB

 

[Scrambles]

@Chris Stacey got room for a late comer in the Corvette?
