Fun Race 3, Formula RaceRoom, 23rd Jan

[Anthony Ishak]

Nice lap Anthony i managed a 31.4 with mine, i think i could go a little faster with maybe less wing, you still using yours with just 5 rear ? i was using 13/14 12/13 i think. Still 1st time really drove these so more practise to know for sure im going to try lower wing later will be on today.

here is my updated setup, after i uploaded the video i did beat my previous lap time by almost half a second to 1:31 so ur right sean more speed is likely with more practice, i did try ur setup and David one but i could not drive it at all, too much understeering for my liking, i added more front wing 13/5 with the updated one to get the car turn in quicker , also the same qualy setup could be used for race and it is fine on wet , it is already tested for 10 laps so whoever decides to use this setup do not have to change anything [ to minimize your testing time] but honestly it surprises me how well the car is handling with so little rear wing compared to front . there is not RR silver 11 server up yet so all testing were done offline , so i have no idea how many laps for 22 min race or how much fuel, but i am using around 4.4 lit fuel per lap.

it happened i had some free time to test the car today and adjust the setting, i am trying my best to give as much info as possible to get those who do not have time to practice ready up and running on time for Wednesday race. hope this helps a bit

 

[Reik Major]

Thanks for all the input so far Thony! I haven't done any testing yet but it looks good I find some time tonight. Would be nice to have a server then but it's not a must. (thx in advance Nico)

 

[David Turnbull]

nico already put servers up for us reik, theyve been there a few days

 

[Valter Ostman]

These cars can skid quite a bit without losing control. Do I imagine things, or does this car behave more like the monsters I have followed on the telly since the seventies? Is it because I'm not provoking it like I used to in our old -07 F1? Maybe the higher minimum ride height can contribute a bit to the feeling.
Wings 12/12 gives me a pretty good balance at Silverstone. I like the possibility to adjust the front wing in smaller steps.

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

I think the track has really high grip levels maybe not best when checking out mod, i think old track did to, maybe Kennet can check. I did a few laps with your new 1 Anthony ive edited slight toe-ins cambers n 8/6 wing now managed a 30.3 with couple small mistakes so i could still get slight better i think. Also i think servers been up for a while, ive done all my practise online

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

is there a problem with the servers? So many seem to not see/find them. I haven't installed RR yet myself, and am not able to test for myself until later. but as David sais, the servers are out there and have been there since post 3 in this thread One is called PrestoGP.com Silverstone and the other PrestoGP.com FunRace

 

[Steeve Fournier]

You have to look for server by Name type, not by "Class" because the class is "Unknown" due to FRR and F3000 are both available. I had problems finding it too, i always look by "Class".

Steeve

I know you mentioned it earlier, I just didn't "understand", or kind of thought that it could not be the case so you probably ment something else. But it was the case and now it is corrected

I'll open a server without PW just in case there are some ppl out there we can lure into our league Please use this and rather migrate to the pw-protected server if there is troubble.

heres a link to an excellent skin pack for formula raceroom, it has every car from the f1 2011 season,

http://www.drivingitalia.net/forum/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=701

im getting a mismatch when i connect to the server with them in though, dont know what it could be, do skin packs need to be uploaded to the server to work?

 

[Reik Major]

here's my so far best setup, which resulted in a clean 1:28:850

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

29.1 with Reiks

 

[Steeve Fournier]

I tried Reik's setup and finally manage a 1:29:9. I know i can improve some .2 in all 3 sectors. Very good downforce in the fast corners.

I like the feeling of these cars, lot of power, no need to be agressive on the throttle. Feels good to have some spare pony's under the right foot

Nope, server only send [team], [driver] and [car] lines to each client and let's them handle the rest. If skin with those exact parameters can't be found, it uses default skin.

Please extract to your... \ Steam \ SteamApps \ [your name] \ race 07 folder

There's your problem, it's not a skin pack but a vehicle pack that adds new vehicles instead of skins. This is stupid as FRR is ingame content and custom skins work 100%.

 

[Reik Major]

here's my so far best setup, which resulted in a clean 1:28:850

Just to let you know, when I first uploaded this latest setup version, the radiator was at "2". Later I noticed that the car starts smoking after ~ 2 laps. So it's most likely recommended to have radiator at least at "3".
The setup in the post is updated to use radiator at "3". Just the ones who downloaded it quickly should have a look at it.

I found this basic f1 pack, i think its from simbin not as good looking as the 2011 pack or malboro mclaren 1 i found, but atleast it works on presto server and are better than default. Most skins i see are same install procedure and into c: drive install like 2011 so wont work online then ? there must be a way.

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

this is good, it's installed in My Documents. I think i've had this and it works online.

[Peter Marshall]

David, will you run the event 7h30 finally?

Another 1/2 hour more sleep for me?

I think I arrived half-way through Free Practice at the previous event; I was confused but it worked out fine. This time I believe I may well need the full hour to get comfortable with the vehicle; no testing as of yet.
