AMS2 GT4 World Series Round 3 @ jacarepagua, Tuesday 7 March 2023

Redvaliant · Mar 2, 2023

This Tuesday, round three of the World Series of GT4s takes us to the super fast Jacarepagua circuit. An ex F1 track, Jacarepagua was modified over the years to accomodate MotoGp and Indycars after losing the F1 races to Interlagos, eventually being modified to nothingness as Rio's Olympic development saw the track demolished. We still have access to it of course, and will use the last 2005 version of the GP circuit.

Reefabus · Mar 2, 2023

I'm in Daniel. Thanks

Reefabus · Mar 2, 2023

Found this mod. Drives pretty good. Could it be included next week? Right around the same power and weight as the Ginetta.

Hey Tom, as we discussed, it's way too much bother to get mods working &, there's plenty of options already in the class.

Fiberoptix · Mar 3, 2023

I am in for some more GT4 pain. Thanks

GeekyDeaks · Mar 3, 2023

yes please!

Redvaliant · Mar 4, 2023

Hey Tim, Scott added. I really like this track, it's just manic. I've actually been doing some TT laps in the BT49 and MP4/1C and had to stop after about 30mins as my arms were getting tired from the forces.

Lloyd Johnston · Mar 4, 2023

Hi @Redvaliant can you pop me on the list please.

Sorry about last Tuesday, I got mixed up and thought it was still Monday (lost a day somewhere lol).

Bas Kriesels · Mar 6, 2023

Would like to join again Daniel! Save me a spot on the grid, please!

T1MKO · Mar 6, 2023

Daniel, put me down for a spot please. My new (2nd hand) Clubsport v2 Pedals have arrived and they are not to my liking at the moment so it will be a bit of testing race for me but hopefully I will be able to stay on the same lap as everyone else

Munkyboo · Mar 7, 2023

Hi Daniel, sign me up please. Finally set up my rig and was quite a headache

@GeekyDeaks heres the pic you asked for.

Some new gear too, but the monitor mount had to be sent on request and then got it today but couldn’t figure out how to hook it on.

So my monitor is on the ground… but I can use VR if not done by tomorrow

GeekyDeaks · Mar 7, 2023

Nice bit of kit @Munkyboo ! I'm guessing you can switch it between GT and a Formula position really easily?

You'll have to remind me what you had before.... did you move to a load cell on the brake? I was fortunate enough to switch to load cell early on whilst I was still figuring stuff out so I never really noticed a big change, but I have seen a few posts around here where people have swapped after a few years and found it took a while to adjust.

Scott, I had Thrustmaster T-LCM so they were loadcell, but it took me quite a while to get the feel right by using different elastomer/spring combo's.
These Clubsport pedals are far too soft for me so I've ordered some new oil for the oil damper and a kit for the bottom damper which has different elastomers it can use so I should be able to get them to my liking. Won't be arriving for a few days so will try and get them setup with a bit more resistance tonight.

Yep just a couple minutes loosening a few sets of screws at the seat and pedals to move them. Then a quick adjustment to wheel angle lower if you angled it up for normal GT position. Should get faster with more practice though!

Sign me up. Looking forward to battle with Bas and Timko!

The Merc will benefit from topspeed or is the difference not so big with the Ginetta?

Hi Eric, added. I don't know how all the cars fare on this track. Every time I go to do a lap I choose a classic F1 car instead....the 80s F1s around classic Jacarepagua is one of my favourite combos.
