Just to let you know I did a test of the ASR V1.81 at Sao paulo
It is nicer than V 1.80. More predictable and appr 1.5 sec faster.
Good improvement.

I couldnt think of a way to "japanise" your name!

 

[Andrew Ford]

one more...do the sidepods and flex options make any difference to the speed?

Bump

More like Italianize?

Japanes would be more like : Sutefuan Wuhaudenberugu.

It could be that this flex may have no impact on speed. So i think the correct answer to your question is: yes!

or maybe not...

I guess nobody has a clue.

Damn,i've got another problem, cant install rfmod, it dowloads correctly but it doesnt install

 

[jimortality]

I have a tyre question, at what percentage should I be changing the tyres If I've managed to avoid flatspotting? I did 11 or 12 laps and it was 75% left.

It works for me, but it seems to be a 930 bug... I'll add the Vmod link in the first post.

edit: done

Depends on the car (havent driven this one a lot) usually until 50% no problem. After that it is getting a bit more slower and if you go brlow 25% you are likely to "hit the cliff", which exists in rF2, so you can loose all grip whatsover.

Thanks Frederic, at least I should be able to get 20 - 25 laps before a change then.

I think tyre change after lap 17 but that is with my iffy driving. I carried on running and by lap 24, the tyre had 32% and was undrivable. This sim just blows the competition out of the water and I think I'm addicted! It's all I think about lol

When I'm at home in time I will join this race. Schumacher pls

Edit:
Just to be sure ... We will do a reconlap but no formationlap. Right?

Yes, Once the pit opens, you'll have 2,5 min to drive from your garage box to the grid.

Wrapping on the grid didn't exist in 1992. So we do it old-school and drive to the grid.

Jim,
The performance does indeed drop off from at or above 60% or so but its disguised by fuel effect. So your lap time stays pretty constant. By around 40% even with low fuel lap time will suffer. It also depends how much understeer you have with setup.

But the simple thing to do is if you have to stop (which you will do as race distance will be 35-36 laps and the tyres wont do that), then best to stop around 1/2 distance give or take a lap. No sense running on bad rubber on one stint and ending on lovely rubber in the other.

Andeas,
Glad you picked Schumis car, saved me from needing to change your name to sound like the nationality of the original driver.

Like O'Reilly to O'Reillioni so it sounds more in tune with Fittipaldi.
and yes Recon lap but no fomation lap is how I read it.

 

[David O'Reilly]

can we ask the stewards to ensure that Flavio Briatore has disabled the TCS hidden in the pit lane speed limiter software?
and @Gijs van Elderen
nice touch using the same font that BBC and Longines used in 1992.
Man I am there now, breathing in the Sao Paulo air and watching out for Bandidos.
