rF2 Monday 16th November - Truck Enduro @ Watkins Glen

[Gary Lennon]

i did some testing last night and noticed the race will be almost 1hr long, will the front brakes last that long i wounder?
i remember the A1 race and both me and Daniel had brake faliures

Ah yes,i remember it well,and guess who inherited the lead and the win?? arrot:.
I didnt suffer the brakes issues,probably due to driving like a steady nervous old bloke ,i remember Daniel was doing every lap like a qualifier...
I would like to sign in for Trucks Revival please :honk:.

 

[Jeffrey Ruskus]

I'm in (if all goes well )

 

[Daniel Plaikner]

sig me up :highfive:

 

[Ryan Callan]

No *ahem* breaking your brakes this time Danny boy

 

[Daniel Plaikner]

LOOOL in 2 races the brakes destroyed :beat-up: hahah

I think the brakes will defenetly be a problem lol at least for my driving style lol

So people don't push like a maniac every lap in this Trucks ... you wont see the finish ^^

Problem is if you push every lap to max the brakes will not hold. So the key will be to play a bit with brake balance... Be "good" to your brakes ^^ I remember I was going faster with a lot brake balance to front... but :silly: oke:

My thougts was: Hey that trucks look very robust ^^ so I drive like that :silly:

I think a bit testing and a good race setup will help hehe



Re reading my race report of the race on the A1 ring: LOOOL

[Martin Bulgin]

I remember the A1 race, still want me for President

I am really p***** off to be missing this, I love the trucks but have a regular commitment to race elsewhere on a Monday, have a good race all and maybe the next truck race will be a different night :wink2:

 

[Matija Skalic]

EDIT: Set me on list :wink2:

 

[Ryan Callan]

Remember - you will most likely have to pit (the tyres go off fairly quickly) and these don't have a pit limiter, so you might want to practice pitting several times, especially if you have to pit in the dark, these don't stop that quickly

 

[Ryan Callan]

I'll be there from the start now - I have been granted the night off (to do college work *ahem*)

 

[Mark Birney]

Tempted to sign out of the Escorts to join this. Is it worth it?

 

[Ryan Callan]

Well, personally I would say so, but you would have to clear that with Yves - he wouldn't be awfully happy if you did.

 

[Roman Kruszewski]

Ryan, sorry for me but I can't drive. I have a massive problem running rfactor online

 

[Ryan Callan]

Small alteration to track layout - we will run the GP layout, I think it's best if the esses are missed out.

 

[Martin Bulgin]

Right I cant miss this so have changed my plans, sign me up please Ryan, I wont have time for practice but I am sure a quick refresher course at about 10 to 8 tonight will suffice :fingers-crossed:

 

[Ryan Callan]

Haha nice Martin :good:

 

[Berkem Ceylan]

Sign me up Ryan

 

[Martin Bulgin]

I use virtual mirror and it seems to be a lower resolution than everything else, the trucks are huge in it and its not very usable, anyone else have this or know a solution ?

 

[Nigel Atkins]

yeah the virtual mirror sucks, i just use the single door mirror.

 

[Gary Lennon]

Just hooked up plugged in my new arrival G25 ,off to install the gubbins for it then go try it,looks like trucks will be its maiden event,and due to many posts ive read in the past with new G25 users trying to use the clutch pedal to brake for T1.....i will say SORRY ALL now .

 

[Martin Bulgin]

I have just read about changing mirror.bmp resolution from 1024x64 to 2048x128,....I have found this file but how do I change the res I have no paint or photo progs
