AC Group C @ Spa Francorchamps - Tuesday 16th March 2021

[Kek700]

I’m really struggling with the LT, why I don’t know, no where near my old time.

Had a good rip around spa this evening in the non le mans 962 Good fun. First time driving a group c car properly on a modern track. The straights feel very short!

Also tried the LT but could get nowhere close to the time I did with the ST. I think the LT is more designed for high-speed tracks like LeMans. Maybe also good for Monza.

I haven't tried the cars yet but I guess it really makes a difference if you can take EauRouge/Radillion flat out with the LT!

Long flat out parts on a track are needed to make the LT and the C9 competative.
That's why the race on the Feldbergring and LeMans without chicanes were such a blast.
Also we did Riverside once but I don't remember how that turned out for the LT.

As the Feldbergring isn't in s.gp yet, I suggested the Deutschlandring to Andreas.
Not sure about Fonteny though. I tried them there for 3 laps each without setup tuning.
Mazda 8.05 (default, only gears/tyres)
C9 8.16 (default, only gears/tyres)
LT 7.56 (default, only gears/tyres)
ST 7.48 (setup from Riverside, gears tyres)

It was literally designed for 1980's le mans only. They used the short tail everywhere else. Same with the C9 LM.

Had a look on rsr website last night. The mazda and st are both about 1-2 seconds quicker than the LT and C9. Familiar looking name in P2 for the 962 LT

The "aero-cars" should be faster on a single lap, no doubt... but, my evil plan is to blast by at Kemmel's, be an obstacle throughout all those bended straights and come home first.

Ok step one would be to keep the rear end of my car always facing backward. That will be hard enough

 

[Kek700]

I will start my spinning from the back of the field out of harm's way.

Just don't have the time for the effort required.

Decided to make the numbers up in the LT, now we have a field of different cars,

You are truly a brave man !

Andreas, I'm sorry but I have to sign out. The misses remind my on a social visit planned weeks ago. Bummer, would have loved this one. Have a great race all!

Here's a setup for the wonderful 962 ST. Found out you can gain a lot of time by using the throttle to make the car rotate in corners.

Thank you, i still tend to spin a lot with the 787b, i think i'm gonna switch to the porsche, it seems more "friendly".

Your welcome! I'm running wing at 1, you might want to increase that if you want it more stable.

Which one of the Short or Long Tail Porsche is the better ? What is the difference between the 2 ?

I registered btw

 

[HF2000]

The long tail has far more top speed but less downforce.
So on the straight it's awesome. In the turns a disaster.

Which one is better depends on the track and the driver

LT - built for top speed, nearly no aero
ST - built for corner speed

If it's your first Group C race, you might want to go for the ST

Its like the porsche is pinned down to the road better than the mazda. I might switch cars too. It will be hard to step away from how awesome the mazda sounds, though.

 

[Kek700]

If you want to win, pick the ST, if you love sounds, drive the Mazda.
If you are slightly bonkers, pick the LT, if you want slightly more of the same pick the Mercedes.
