AC Formula Abarth @ Barcelona - Saturday 21st November 2015

[Nick Milton]

Im in Chris, in and mostly off due to kerbing.

 

[zAmboni]

I can do OK with the softs on this car, but I just can't get the handling of the car down using the mediums. Weird. Right now the kerbs are down on the list of my problems . I cant for the life of me find a good braking reference point at turn 5, and I keep botching up the entry to turn 7....and with mediums on, I feel like I am tip-toeing around the track.

Might just be tire temps being a little too low because I am doing the careful thing around some corners, but I have a week to figure it out

This car is hugely sensitive to tyre temps. Need to get heat in them to give you grip. Out of the pits it's atrocious so you gotta be careful.

I'll enable tyre blankets for the main event

Absolutely good sir

@Sun Levi are you using a setup or default? Can't for the life of me break into the 46's and it looks like you will break 45!!

 

[Sun Levi]

I'm using my own setup, specifically for Qualifying. Still needs a bit of tweaking though, it's fast but pretty hard to drive. That 46.1 was done with 5F-0R wings, I think I can gain more if I up the wings

 

[Jeremy Talbot]

Gees that's low! I'm running 11-4 and I'm finding that hard! I did seem to get faster with the higher wings however as I really struggled with oversteer with lower wings

 

[Sun Levi]

Yeah I think something like 10-5 will be the way to go. Strategy might be pretty interesting, same as zandvoort I don't think it'll be worth pitting, but I think I'll pit this time and see if I can catch those that aren't pitting.

Fancy a race this Saturday fellas?

 

[Fabrizio]

Sign me up as a 'maybe' please! It will be an early one for me..

 

[Matheus Machado]

Last RDTCC round more sleep meant better performance, so I'm out of this one

No worries mate, completely understandable!

 

[Fabrizio]
