AC GT2 Endurance @ Laguna Seca - Saturday December 5th 2015

[Nick Gregory]

I titled the file "lagunaseca", but that didn't work. I deleted the entire thing and unpacked the files again just to be sure. I made a new folder called "laguna_seca" and it works now.

 

[TinoM]

Please count me in...458

 

[Fernando Deutsch]

Folder name should be laguna_seca, just like kn5 file.
The zip does not include the folder name, so first should be created on the content/tracks file and then inside create the laguna_seca folder and place all files and folders in there.

I´m up in the morning.. so... C7.R for me. The server is in Netherlands right? So my EU ping should be OK?

EU server, you are right mate!

 

[Matheus Machado]

Added both to the list

ill take the 458, also I thought it was interesting the only car with abs is the scuderia

 

[Nick Gregory]

I have to pull out. A couple of the cars here I have changed the sounds for, and Kunos keep breaking them.

 

[Lorenzo Bonder]

Are you using any sound mods? Just check the game cache and all should be OK.

 

[Lorenzo Bonder]

BTW, the server is up for 10 minutes of un-official practice.

 

[Lorenzo Bonder]

@SakL, @Edward Mowinckel, @Azure Flare (managed to fix your sound problems?), @Getrag, server is restarted practice so all late joiners can come in

 

[Nick Gregory]

I couldn't fix it.

 

[Matheus Machado]

I couldn't fix it.

Join us on TS so we can help you sort it out

 

[wildman2132]

that's was awesome guys, looking forward to the next one and will try to get my mic sorted out

 

[SakL]

I hope you guys had a good race; I got home far later than I was supposed and couldn´t make it in time for the race.. My bad, and I quess my loss too... :/

 

[TinoM]

Thanks guys...I enjoyed that for my first AC race. I obviously need to learn more about the tire selection. What did you guys use for the race and how long did they last? I had the superslicks on at the beginning which lasted, oh about 6 laps. Then I went one class down which didn't last very long either. So, I am assuming I should of went with hard? Medium? Cheers and see you sometime soon!

Im still learning about the tires also, i think soft are only good for a few laps from what ive heard and only usefull for qualifying, medium is good for 45 mins. I havent gotten around to researching much about the tire temp apps but someone said last night that when the percentage number gets down to ~97% the tires are pretty much shot im guessing that only works if you have the app set to the right type of tires.

 

[TinoM]

thanks Wildman....I guess only more racing will figure this out...which is good!!

GT tire compounds are pretty much like this:

• GT2

Supersofts - Only used for qualy, very grippy tires, but only last 2-3 laps. Unusable on full Nords.

Softs - Used for short stints or long track qualyfings, last about 8-10 laps depending on track lenght. Faster than mediums until about 95%.

Mediums - Used for about 45 minutes, depends on track though, some can do more than one hour on Monza for example.

Hards and superhards - Never even tried it during a race, used for double or triple stinting tires and much slower than mediums.

• GT3

Softs - Supersofts GT3 counterpart, lasts for about 2-3 laps, and require special care when heating up.

Mediums - Slightly worse than GT2 mediums at the end, but can do the same amount of KM if driven with care.

Hards - Again never touched it, pretty much useless if there's no limit on tire sets to be used.

Any more questions you have @wildman2132 feel free to ask, club racing is there for fun and improvement!
