Lol, I agree with you Abdul. I did another practice race today, 10 laps, 9 racers and 4 of us finish, with 3 on the lead lap. I collected 6 inc all from dropping a wheel off, never damaged the car. My right front tire was down to 55%, that would have been a problem with another 5 laps.

 

[Will Marquez]

Thanks for posting your setup William. I've been going back and forth from the Silverstone fixed setup to the setup that I got from the iRacing forums and posted here from one of the experienced Vette drivers and its just waaay too oversteery for me. Finally after all the 1x's I put in my fastest clean lap of 2:16.477 with William's stable setup. Still 3 secs off those fast guys that Dario posted in the link. Don't see that happening anytime soon! lol

Is it just me or is that final chicane really slippery in the Vette?

I spun out my first 12 attempts last night. Finally accepted the fact i was just running out of talent

 

[George Pilkington]

Hey Guys, I just subscribed to iracing. I have got Spa and will get the Vet. Can I play too please?
Not raced yet, just training...
Thanks
George

Yeah the final chicane is very tetchy and a bit of a lottery as to if you will make it or not, i find my self having to brake very early for it and having to shift down to 1st when really it should be a 2nd gear chicane right? But the one that's getting me more is Bruxelles, i just can't seem to get in on the apex quick enough and am struggling to feel the brakes on entry and sort of feel the car weight just pushing me wider and wider mid corner. I'm sure i will get it by next week though but the combo is awesome.

Im running around 2:20's but also picking up a lot of 1x, this is a tough track indeed on iRacing.

 

[James Yates]

Not sure why everyone is worrying about getting 1x's. Its hosted so its means absolutely nothing.

Ran a 2:16.0xx on a terrible lap with a full tank, could run 2:13's with 30L and a clean lap though.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Seeing as I already set time for the race I went for some practice laps. My advice is...get accustomed to the car before Sunday. Calling it a beast is just a polite way of saying this car is a handful.

Maybe a idea to post the event like we do with other sims Will?
With dates etc. Lots of people are used to it.
Just a tip.

Here is one we need to ban Will. Looool. Great pace James.

Yeah i'm hitting 2:16's consistently but nowhere near 13's, are you huttu in disguise?

 

[William Nowell]

I lose the most time in the chicane, it's like the car is on marbles. T1 I can hit about 70% of the time and that usually determinds how I get through Eau Rouge. My danger zones for running wide are T7, T9, T10, & T15. I'm glad the setup helped Will, grid size is looking good.

 

[William Nowell]

Another hosted session with this combo is going on now.

 

[James Yates]

2:15/2:16's with a full tank are a good pace. I had to run lower fuel to get to low 2:14's/high 2:13's. Biggest place to gain time is the chicane, nail that and you're sorted.

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

Care to share the sweetness of your setup James? Plish

 

[James Yates]

2:15.1xx on my race setup with a full tank. Could probably dip into the high 2:14's.

Abdul, I'd prefer to keep it private, running in a league at the moment.
