Lookin good!

Another nice starting point set from RazorBlade at ARCA Sim Central.

Good for low 16's, pushes slightly but if you take off a bit of wedge it turns better and a 15:-- is possible. Tho with the wedge down after a few laps its gets a little hairy if you keep pushing hard.

I just bought Arca the other day but the steering is puzzling/annoying me.

Why does the Car always understeer/ Tyre squeeling?
Could this be down to my degrees of rotation and steering lock?
My right front tyre just get's shagged all the time is this normal?

 

[Gareth Hickling]

Some tracks will eat front tyres like Toledo, You have to either dial it out with your setup or drive slower. As A friend of mine once said Stockcar racing in nothing like F1. If you drive with a push push push style you will eat up your tyres and the rest of the paced drivers will pass you in a few laps.


Pace yourself

 

[Ben Tusting]

I found at yesterday(at the 15 second track) that i had to really chuck the car into the corners to stop the understeer.

 

[Ben Tusting]

I had some goes yesterday with Steven what's a good time?
My best was a 15.9 any good?

 

[Gareth Hickling]

That setup was very conservative and tends to push, Try sticking the wedge around -3, The tail end will come around a bit easier but it will be a handful on worn tyres.

As for race pace there, I expect to be running high 16's in the race to stop the front tyre overheating. Well thats if we get decent green stints Once the tyres go off I expect around the 17's mark.


Try to enter the corner a little slower so you dont get that midcorner push aswell.

qualifying times mean nothing at a circuit like this. Its all about pacing yourself so you have the tyres to make the move when everybody has worn boots on.

 

[Gareth Hickling]

Yep thats a good time, anything under 16 is good for a qualifying time.
We wont get much more out of this circuit in Q.

 

[Ben Tusting]

The pit entrance is a bit dodgy though. (Safety Car time :woop

 

[Gareth Hickling]

Hehehe, Yes its an interesting pit entrance down to a very slow 30mph limit. Should be fun if we get a green pit stop.

 

[Ben Tusting]

Anybody know how to get the Speed limiter working?

 

[Steven Palmer]

who wants to bet we spend about 25-30% of the race behind the pace car

 

[Gareth Hickling]

I do expect a few flags

 

[Ben Tusting]

can we have damage turned down a tad please

 

[Gareth Hickling]

We are already at 50%
