So glad you mention this Ernie, I was at a loss to why I lost it so many times at Sunny In during the first race - went off so often I pitted to soften the rear (which worked-ish) so I could have some fun in the 2nd race, even then the rears were stone cold the whole race. Never had that in practice off line so wondered if it might have had something to do with the 70% tyre rate, though it might have been some senior-moment thing too
Barcroft was the corner giving me fits all night. I missed Sunny In mostly because I was using what little straight I had after Barcroft trying to hang on to it, and by the time I got it sorted, who the hell knew what was going to happen. Sunny In was the symptom, Barcroft was the disease.
I think that might have been one of my screw-ups, sorry Han!
Ahhh, so that's what it was. Baffled the hell out of me.
That makes perfect sense Ernie - for the last race at Snetterton I practiced enough to see a big drop off/imbalance, then made adjustments so its 'sweet spot' (for me anyway@Medilloni
Setup for this car is so important, spent fair bit of time getting it all working
properly. ( for me )
Tried the supplied setup, driving that requires a lot of concentration, way beyond what I would want to give the car for 50 minutes of racing.
I am not doubting for a moment that it is quick, so much on the edge.
Could drive my setup hard every where, the car would always ultimately understeer, without the problem of then being transferred from understeer to instant oversteer
when off the accelerator.
The font left tyre pressure slowly increases with laps, front right stays about the
same, front left temperatures slowly increase with use and wear, front right tyre temps slowly decrease with wear and laps.
Every lap it gets worse, so as the race progresses the car becomes very unstable under braking.
the cars front tyres take such a hammering on this circuit, I cannot see how you can solve it.
A personal point of view.
) was half distance, and I had an enjoyable race.... last night's race was a hard 'n valuable lesson
No problem, Neil. I think it was me later in the race when you went off track that I gave you not enough space in the fast right. Wasn't sure but I waited anyway for you. These are race incidents that happen because with single screen and helicorsa/crewchief not always correct it is hard to have good awareness in a battle.I think that might have been one of my screw-ups, sorry Han!
Ahhh, so that's what it was. Baffled the hell out of me.
I saw you vanish at the last corner and had no idea what happened, and then you reappeared just behind me along the main straight; I was then so tentative going into T1 (having stayed on the right partly through caution about hitting you and partly because I was still trying to work out what the heck was going on) that I lost it and left the track like a total noob.
I wasn't really on the pace last night. Not my finest race evening, and sorry to anyone I bumped!
Ernie, did you try the setup provided by John (originally from Enzo)? I found it very good! In practice I managed a complete stint in the 1.24s.@Medilloni

Ah yes, I remember that now; I reckon it was a tough one to call (might just have been bad positioning by me) but thanks for waiting.
Yes. I tried Reik his setup also but I liked Enzo's better. My bad results in the race were from my own screw ups and some bad luck in battles but the setup was very good thoughout the race (on mediums).
and of course John for initiating it all.Really good racing tonight, @FridayDriver it was me that got caught, laughed my old head off. Never met a car before at windscreen height, no seeing an accident, just a car at windscreen height..
. In all seriousness though I'm sorry for making you spin and lose that much time in the first lap.
I worry not one jot about loosing time, I almost enjoy the concequence,, in the same race I managed to polish off about 5 cars in one go.
