I usually only update the thread once a day or so. I'll do it now.

Chris Down · May 17, 2020

@Kerem Gocen, @Sheashant L, @Peppinho, you're all in

Similar situation here. I had not even heard of the track before this race was posted and I have managed to find the time to do just 3 laps so far. I'm going to try and get on an hour before official practice so I'm not a complete liability, but if there is someone in the wings who could be mixing it up with the big boys, then I'll gracefully drop out

Hiya Scott, if you have time & need help with the lines there's some very good info and videos here https://www.raceoptimal.com/VIR - you'll need to scroll down the page for the good stuff, hope it helps

Good shout! In addition to that, here's pole lap from the last time we raced here, which should hopefully give some ideas.

Thanks @Medilloni @Chris Down ! I'll do a little research before I jump on later.

Thats a great little site btw... first thing I did was start to watch the bike vid though

. Need to stay focused!

I couldnt figure out what I was supposed to do on the site

If you mean the one I posted George, scroll down past all the 'optimal laptime' waffle - further down the page there are vids of different cars showing racing lines

In the top part, you have a map. You can zoom in. As far as I know, you can deselect by pressing the green button. I've let only 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (that is the closest thing to what we might race) and press play. Then it will show you a simulation of a dot that's following the ideal racing line and the way it brakes. To be honest, it looks different in some parts of what I was expecting.
In the lower part you have some footage, but nothing from a GT3.

Third gear through the first turn, amazing.....god damn I suck. I really need to dismantle my g920 pedal and remove that rubber stopper some time. And practice, definitely more practice.

pattikins · May 17, 2020

I didn't get much sleep last night, so count me out please.

Got access to a 3D printer? I can help you with a LC mod if you are feeling brave... https://github.com/GeekyDeaks/g29-load-cell. - still have some spare PCBs

No printer. Planning on just removing the piece entirely. Seems to work without it. Thanks for the link btw

GeekyDeaks · May 17, 2020

If you are going to remove it, you might want to also remove the deadzone at the end of the travel is causes. Before I went full crazy on the LC idea, I put a trim-pot between the GND connector of the pot and actual GND and could tweak out the deadzone with it. This post does it better justice than I can
