Would be nice to catch up for a chat and a sim racing lesson old friend. I really hope you can make it.

 

[Denis Betty]

If i can't make it here's my setup so far feel free to try it

Thanks Yves.
I'm gonna jump on and give this a go now.

 

[Denis Betty]

Thanks Yves.

I ran a small front wing and large rear wing in the upgrades menu. Not sure if these settings changed when I loaded Yves setup, but it seems quick and stable to me. Makes the car a rea joy to drive around here. Only change I made is 4th gear 1 click longer. Beat my PB by 1.5s.

 

[Yves Larose]

Beat my PB by 1.5s.

I wonder what was your previous best

 

[Denis Betty]

Now 3s faster

Guys if any of you didn't try this combo yet, please give it a try with Yves setup.
I flippin LOVE it!

 

[Cosimo]

Sorry, got plans already, otherwise I'd join!

What is the consensus on the car config?
Saw that there is quite the powerful engine option and also the whole wing thing.

I totally forgot that we are not using MK3/MK3B - but I'll let everything stand anyway! There's MK1, MK2 stuff here.

Oki, so. Here is the base cars - no upgrades.
MK1 - MK2
MK3 - MK3B

Here is the cars with the "correct upgrade", so MK1 have MK1 upgrade, MK2 have MK2 etc.

Here is the engines:
65 engine in MK1 - 66 Engine in MK2
67 engine in MK3 - 69 Engine in MK3b

Wing settings (Very inaccurate but gives an impression):
NONE - SMALL
LARGE - MAX/Penske

Worth noting that the larger the wing, the more weight you get. Penske rear wing gives more rear downforce than factory wing, and weighs 1kg more.

Mirrors, Nose and tyre-upgrades have no effect on the performance of the car.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

So, from what I can see. Large/Max wings. MK3 or MK3B with the biggest engine is the way to go.
If you want large/Factory/Penske rear wing, is down to driving style I think.
I haven't tested it at all, but lower wings does give less drag, but also less grip.
Worth noting that the Factory and Penske rear wing on MK3/MK3B can be adjusted one click down from the screenshots above, which gives less df and less drag, but still more df than the large rear wing.

@Ole Marius Myrvold for the event we only run the MK1 and the MK2

Oh. Fark.

Well. 66 engine and large wings then!

Also, don't use the engine with "raim air intakes". That just adds weight and drag to the car. You have the same engine cooling options anyway.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Also. Lifetime variance, 7hrs30 min??
That sounds unfair in a 24hr race

@Bumble recommended small front wing and large rear wing to me, so that is what I went with.

You being you - and assuming you'd like to actually race somebody - I reckon you should choose the less powerful engine option..... but only if you want to.

Haha I might just do that

 

[Jan Larsen]

After recieving an unexpected early day off, I'm in. But I do need to figure out all the various car, engine, wing options available first, judging from this thread

Awesome, adding you now.

No biggie as far as I'm concerned - choose the most powerful engine and work out your aero balance by trying a few different wings. I've seen you set a car up and destroy the field in 20 - 30 minutes.

@Lennart Groessl you will now have a worthy opponent with the 480hp engine option.

Have fun guys, see you after the race.

 

[vbomfim]

I won't be able to race tonight, hope you guys have fun though!
