WTCC 2006 - Curitiba 06

[Guest]

Curitiba is a new addition to the WTCC calendar so it presents a new challenge to all drivers and teams. It's a fast track, using parts of the Curitiba oval course and it has the longest straight of any track on the WTCC calendar.

The layout and types of corners on the track is similar to Oschersleben, but Curitiba have more dramatic elevation changes. Especially the section between Entrada do Miolo and Pinheirhinho where well balanced cars and confident drivers can gain a serious advantage through the heavily banked turns.

Curva de Vitoria has quite a bit of positive camber and your exit speed will carry though all the way down the straight. But go even 10 centimeters wide and you will wash out and end in the wall, there is only ONE line through this fast corner, so line up behind the car in front and slingshot past him down the straight

[Sai Yip]

didn't expect it to happen in online mode with a totally new setup

 

[Sai Yip]

by the way, just a suggestion which I dont know where I should post under.

I love the idea of the time attack ranking list, but there is just one info missing......the car used.

ex.

9:99.999 SAi - BMW 320si

it would be a very good way to keep track of which car has more advantage in which course.

 

[Attila Domján]

wow, so 1:22 is possible, then i must make some trials still.... lol

p.s.: setup and replay file would be handy Sai....

[Sander Hogendoorn]

Omg Sai #-o

Great, going to do some more practice lol

 

[Maik Peters]

Nice Sai,
That will be a lot off practise whaha

 

[Sai Yip]

i believe mid 1:22 is possible....since i made this time in online mode with 7laps fuel and 1 major mistake.

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

i believe mid 1:22 is possible....since i made this time in online mode with 7laps fuel and 1 major mistake.

Haha, well it cannot possibly have been that major, lol!

 

[Sai Yip]

[Sander Hogendoorn]

hm this is gonna be close in quali next week..

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

yes but i want to state one thing here!! a lot of guys out there do a full sandcut in first chicane which is not allowed in a hotlap

has nothing to do with racing imo.

but agree with sander: close closer closest next weekend

 

[Maik Peters]

Nice NEO

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

Didn't know people take the last corner in 3rd... I always take it in 4th.

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

This track has too low grip for my Alfa.. I can compensate it but Im a bit slower then.. hm must be a solution... 8 days left lol :-k

Edit: just took the Leon, and in my second quali lap I was already down to 1:23.300. I couldn't test race pace... it was on a public server and someone drove the track reverse, so i quitted =;
