Lucky just snicked in.

In that video of the real car, *he does lift, but he does it at the top of the hill, where I usually do a slight lift nearer the bottom. I've done it flat out before, but fellas, during the race that penalty won't be there. If you get it right keep going, if you get it wrong and go wide you'll lose time. If you have to bail and go straight through I suggest lifting to keep from spinning, and not taking advantage of the cut.

*Watching it again, this could be the effect of the g-forces experienced by the driver, and not intentional.

long time no race, but gotta race at Spa right!!!

Does anybody use MoTeC, and keep their telemetry? I'm wondering if somebody would be willing to share with me. My best time is a 2:20.460 with race fuel. I'd like to compare my telemetry with someone to see where I am losing time. Thanks.

what car do you drive?

Currently the AMG, but that doesn't really matter. I'm not looking for setup info, but for the lap telemetry - track trace, throttle / brake / etc. I used to use this method in F1 challenge comparing laps to see where I'm losing time.

 

[Goblin616]

Unfortunately the comparison tool isn't as good as the one in F1 challenge - or I just haven't figured out how to set up all the graphs and such. Anyhoo..

I have a MoTeC trace with the Mercedes AMG, if you want it I will post it here, just say.
It is for a lap time of 2-17-0.8, have been quicker, but it is so difficult with this car.
It is hard getting through Eau Rouge and from there on string one whole fastest lap in without a cock-up.
If it is not quick enough for you, I am only an old git, you could try and get one of our resident Aliens to get a trace for you.
Good luck with that.

I don't wanna be rude, but if you're doing 2:20's, you can gain in every single braking zone, corner and acceleration zone. It's not really worth looking at data when you're 3 seconds off. Data is more useful when you're looking to gain the last 3-4 tenths.

When you are still doing 2:23/2:25

Yeah I can look at it.

I'm sure that's true, but without seeing the data, I can't understand what I'm doing. I need to see someone else's trace to see what they're doing, and try to apply it to my own driving.

Frank, to become a faster driver you might try this:

SGP - Back to the sixties! A vintage car/track championship

Welcome to the RD Racing Club. The 1960s were a very interesting period in our history: politically, musically, socially, well in almost every aspect of our society. But it was also the era when the evolution of cars and car racing got a boost. Without the modern techniques such as ABS or...

View attachment 499285

There's a lot of reasons you could be doing those times, not related to bad driving. You should use the practice server sometimes. I could try to help you gain a bit of time.

 

[Kek700]

It is not bad driving a 2 : 23 is a very respectable time, just because some are in the 2:15 does not draw a line that indicates anyone above that is bad.
It is just a gift that is given to some, no one earns it,
All on this forum that I am up against are very good drivers, some are quicker some are slower, all are good drivers.
There are many here that are now faster than me who were once slower but that is only the stop watch talking that does not take other skills that are required to be a good racing driver.

Hi guys. @Interslice, something came up tonight and I won't be able to join. So sorry about that. If I had known earlier I would have deregistered before the event started. Have a good one everybody.

My throttle leg hurts a bit, I think the muscle is a bit overstrained from moving a piano yesterday... alas... I've tried to get a few laps in today but it doesn't feel nice.

You can use your other leg. No clutch remember!?

I haven't raced with you guys for a while but can we do something about whoever it was that kept shouting "bugger", "bugger me" and exclaiming loudly about goings on while we're all trying to race please. Thanks.

Anyway, I was going well until just after half way, then I found out why it was so calm and quiet in the car, I forgot to put crew chief on and then ran out of fuel!!! I was having a nice midfield battle with a few people I jumped to pits, continued racing to see if I could catch the back of the pack then got disqualified for not pitting! It seems jumping to the pits doesn't count.

This is what you get for being away and not racing at all for so long!
