Yes I thought it was spelled incorrectly (I had 4 years German language in high school) but the track is named like this.

You do know what happens when you argue with a knowitall?

Excuses, excuses

(btw, it sucks balls to type English with German Autocorrect)

Wow, this track is deceptively tricky! There's just no grip anywhere.

Also there's a hole you can reliably fall into. Shouldn't be a problem normally, but if you screw up the previous corner and slide across the track you might end up there.

Fun track, but that last section is rather technical.
And on cobblestone, which feels like driving on ice.
Should be a fun one, looking forward to Wednesday!

If you like pogo sticks this bumpy version of the track and the Abarth, this is definitely your bag.

 

[stigs2cousin]

If I read it correctly, Han cheaped out on the bump count.
We're only on level three of five on the road bump scale.
Probabably to cuddle the "suspension travel challenged" Shopping Carts.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

No way this track is 100% grip??

 

[HF2000]

No way this track is 100% grip??

There are two types of grip configuration.
1. The griplevel of the tarmac as defined by the trackmaker. So with different kinds of tarmac, the grip level can change on certain parts of a track if the modder uses that feature. Remember the cobblestones and the tramrails in Prague?
2. The grip percentage of that tarmac grip level, configured by the player/organizer.

So Sergio has given this track a low level of grip, probably for realism.
I've configured the event with 100% grip of what Sergio has defined.

Maybe you remember the events I organized in the past with starting grip level of 94% increasing to 100% during the race for the effect that racetracks are improving during races.
I don't do that anymore because it didn't seem to add a lot to the fun for the participants.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

So in all probability is about 85%,so now i will adjust some settings

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Yeah i remember that Han,im just going off a few Fat Alfie tracks that seem to be roughly the same type of tarmac/cobbles as this track,will be a lot of carnage weds night,1 little slip and your off the track...

 

[HF2000]

So in all probability is about 85%,so now i will adjust some settings

What kind of settings would you adjust (question from a setup noob)?

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Toe and Camber

 

[HF2000]

Toe and Camber

Increase of decrease?

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

That you will have to play with..Driving styles are different,mine i have increased..

 

[stigs2cousin]

And to throw everyone in disarray, I have camber decreased as in:

if you have less grip the car leans less, so reduce camber.
That´s how it would work irl, no (technical/mathematical idea what AC makes of it!?!)

 

[stigs2cousin]

And don´t forget to register, atm it´s a really sullen affair with the Beehives outnumbering the Hairdressers Porsches!!
