[Steeve Fournier]

Has anyone try to pit on the server? My toggle pit menu button does not work there. Bob also test it and he had the same problem. I try offline and everything is ok......

If I can make it to the event at all, I'm fine with half an hour delay.

I can't remember if I tested a serious pit stop on the server. Did you press a button to "request" the stop before coming in? Did you test it in qualy or a fun race?

 

[Nicolas Rouge]

I would have liked to participate but my ADSL model power supply is down and I'm using tethering through my phone to access to internet. Have fun.

I'm looking in to this now, remember to check if there updates on steam well ahead.. Like right now.. EDIT: nope, no updates..

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

Did a lap with lower rad Reiks setup, what do you guys think of what rad should be used in superpole for example ?

 

[Daniel Hansson]

Weather for tonight:
I'm sending a weather file to Nico with the following:
Race 1: dry
Race 2: exactly as Istanbul race 2: wet -> dry.

 

[David Turnbull]

excellent daniel, thanks

i think rad1 could be used in superpole no problems as there will be noone else on track so cant annoy anyone else with the smoking car.

 

[Valerio Vinassa]

Thanks David & Daniel for organization
seems nice this FRR


Reik: I tested in race last evening on server the entry pit and i used the buttons for call pit and disingage the limiter all is gone well.

Sean: I dont understand well the question what is "rad" ? anyway I use car with low fuel and same set for race and think that isn't right way good for line for superpole needed 2 set 1 for pole 1 for race so I prefer pass my time/training working on the race With Reik setup monday on server along fun race i got about 2sec immediately more wing on front was a nice cure

EDIT

saw now rad is RADIATOR yes for two laps set to 2 is good I wiil use set2 for superpole


any memory of damage (set1) after pole for race or the engine is reset to OK like other mod?

I did push the pit resquet button, and i test it in quali, not in race.

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

Sorry for the delay, but the server is open now

 

[Peter Marshall]

Congrats Marko and Sean.

With no prior practice or experience with the car, I found the car a challenge in the dry race. Great racing with Valerio.

Surprisingly, I felt that I was more competitive [closer to 'on the pace'] in the wet; until the track began to dry up and my tyres were reduced to marshmallows.

I also feel that the car has a lot more engine braking than the F3000/ MMG. This induced [for me] some nasty over-steer in the high speed corners that took some time to adjust to. Perhaps the Engine Brakng Map can be edited///

I only out-braked myself once during the events and slipped wide at Turn 3, to unintentionally allow Nico past. That Green Paint is slippy . And my front left overheated badly in the dry. Apart from that, the track is very nice to drive. Now, I must locate the pit entry.....

Thank you David, Daniel and Nico for organizing, raining and hosting.

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

Good racing tonight will have a look throught replay later !

Ive found these car are quite easy after a couple nights practise to drive on limit, i thinks its faster to minimise the wheel spin out of turns to be fastest.
Also the wet tires 2nd race temps are crazy etc, just like fl in dry but i think we just need to ignore these temps dont mean much, well atleast at this track. My wets for example at the end were at 87% and i did my fastest lap i think 2nd from end 35.0, so it was about 1% a lap wear just. I think it may have to be completely dry to need to go back to slicks.

 

[Valerio Vinassa]

Congrats podiumtaker
was 2 nice race great and long battle with Peter in race1 and along the race in T? (dont remember) I didn't close the door because near me was Peter and I didn't see in the mirrors but hear him I ran a bit wide and lost a few of time for recover here i met Valter and Nico so some nice skirmishes is born.Race2 at star I found a bit dark the ambient hard see track and car after 5 or 6 min was better around 10min i did a pit sky was clear track was wet and soft tires work well think that at start was 50% wet but at the end was 20 or 30% another thing is consumption tires is really low.

C U guys on next track

Peter yes you can edit the brake mapping i did for this race from 4 to 5 for dry and tested 6 for wet not bad but is the traction the problem on wet for me

 

[Bob Luneski]

What a lot of fun to get behind the wheel again. Thank you David for arranging this race. I completed 10 laps of the first race before crashing and finished the second. Very tired at the end, but it was fantastic fun. I did my first few laps last night in months and the most important result of today's race is that my wrist didn't hurt at all after the second race. Yippie!

I was way off the pace and it's clear I need a lot of practice to get back into race shape. SO.....with only 2 weeks before the first race on Feb 6 it would be really great if the decision on what car we are going to use was made as quickly as possible. At this point, I don't care what decision is made. I just need as much time as possible to practice in the car being used for Season 10.

 

[Peter Marshall]

I forgot to mention that I thought the engine sounds were not as bad as I was expecting.

 

[Valter Ostman]

Thanks Nicholas, Daniel and David for the arrangement.

And thanks all for an entertaining race.

This car just gets better the more I drive it. I think it obeys rudder better than the other two. Is it possible that the wheel suspension is more advanced than what is the case on our other alternatives from a few years back? The F3000 must have a simpler chassis and aero kit than RR if they are close to their real life model.

If I could vote for this car for next season it would be my choice. I may change my mind if a significant flaw is revealed.

 

[Reik Major]

Is there any car/mod without flaws (even ingame stuff)?

It seems to be strange that you can set the front wing very, very high in relation to the rear wing. But I have no clue how such relations are in real life. And I can life with some flaws as long as they don't influence the immersion in a negative way, becaues we share all that knowledge very open so no one has a disadvantage.

I can also imagine voting for this car, because it feels good and from this first event it looks like the lap times come closer together.
