Hey George, no complaints about a mistake mate, we all do it, sh1t happens

If you want a set up for this I've got a simple one that's driveable, just shout if you want it - though must admit for these cars I'm going to mod my pedals to make the throttle pedal harder, I struggled with feeling any small power application, which seems crucial for these beasts

Ill take it John for sure!

Nice race @BP , your Porsche was so fast on the straights, so I had to do my try elsewhere, your tyres were out, run wide and headed for the interior, thanks for leaving room, A pleasure racing with you.

Likewise buddy, good race . My first stint on the mediums I wore them out faster than anticipated, feels like skating on ice when those tyres go, in these cars especially. Good fun though, with such low damage you could run 100% turbo for most of the race so yea, it was a good battle of different strengths...felt like another Lambo vs. McLaren all over again

Had a great fight with @dynz for the last 10 mins as well, but that long sweeping right wasn't my favorite corner and lost precious time there every lap, combined with missing a braking point or two and that's all she wrote. After that, came my long standing mission in all these weekend races: don't get lapped! I barely made it before P1 caught me, but afterwards I was like "Damn, this car is such a handful...should've slowed down, my race could've ended 2 minutes ago!"

The long tail is quite the animal, but I'll gladly give it another go...til next time guys.

Do guys wanna do these more ? Agree or disagree on this post to let me know if we have interest in these for a event @ 24th of Aug

@Raresch , superb race! If I were no so clumsy, I would have tried to catch you

You were behind me at the start. So I wanted to keep it that way ) I think you got caught in the first turn incident? ... Anyway, at the end of the race,I saw you've pitted and then I saw how much you were gaining on softs and I was trying my best to stay ahead because I knew your softs will not last in the last final laps. I made some mistakes also. my hards were yellow. I messed the last corner and the run on the straight had some real adrenaline rush )

Here you go George, attached.
It's a base setup - for Road America I lowered it a touch and set front toe at -1.8, wing at 2. Play with tyre pressures 'n gears to suit

do anyone got a replay of the qualifying? if so could you upload it for me

Thanks everyone for welcoming me. Joel, if by "these" you mean group C, then for my part, a shaky "maybe". Adapting to no ABS or TC and having to manage the third pedal made for extra long braking zones and slow lap times. I literally had to dust off my H-shifter, so I am a lot of practice away from having a competent race in this genre. I would love to help fill the grid in a future race though.

Question to @JoelK : are the servers setup to help those using sequential/paddle shifters in manual cars?

Reason I asked is that my H-shifter was giving me issues (still is actually), so I decided on race day to try shifting with the paddles. I started out by shifting with the clutch but then I realised during qualifying that I didn't need it...upshifts were fine and downshifts only needed a blip on the throttle; no transmission damage. Had me both confused and relieved, because I figured it wouldn't let me upshift with my foot down and no clutch.

I guess it just comes with AC that it automatically cuts out the throttle when up-shifting. Using Auto-clutch enables Auto-blip aswell, which I use since I don't have a H-shifter, so it just feels wrong to use the clutch and heel n' toeing when using paddles.

But the server only allows usage of Auto-clutch, nothing else.

Now I know why some drivers were able to change two gears at once ...

Tell me a way to send it to you, it is 1.02GB, compressed 263MB. Sorry the start is missing.

Thanks guys .. if you don't mind and if you can send it with wetrasfert to the email address spider.man@inwind.it
THANK YOU

 

[pattikins]

I didn't realise that TS wasn't working until after the qualifying, and I didn't want to risk (Oculus can be very temperamental) or spend the time investigating the cause (...windows update!), so to all those who might have been shouting profanities @ me after turn one on the first lap, please accept my apologies.

@Bobby Pennington, I went off @ T2 & T3 on the last lap (trying to catch John) and when I realised that I'd damaged the tires I started to panic. In the corner where we collided I was preoccupied with my erratic gear changes and I didn't see you until it was too late. Unfortunately, I couldn't ask you to carry on. In the end it was a right carry on (you go, no you go...) and we both lost two places

Thanks for saying that Patrick. We'll call it 50/50 then and a racing incident I'm with you.............the travesty was those positions it cost us Cheers

Late reply but I thoroughly enjoyed racing you my man!
