@Tobias Röhner can you enable jump starts for tomorrow's race? I don't recall if we did them for the last one.

I'd prefer not to. I think AC's implementation of the jump starts is still a bit fishy. The slightest roll forward will make the game think you jumpstarted.

Sorry for crashing into you last race, was simply locked when downshifting in that corner.

Not many setups here . Yesterday I managed to do a few laps and made something for myself. Maybe it will be usefull for someone. Done 10:22 on it. (on 100% grip track)

About fuel consumption - with the setup included is 8.3/Lap. But checked with 2 laps made, so would be safer if someone admit it

Still don't get it, why losing around 2-3 seconds in each sector -especially in ' 3rd sector (around 4-5 sec.)-. Now I know where the best possible limit is for each corner, but still losing (lap-)time.
Auto clutch may be one reason, but that should more or less only be 1-2 seconds or s.th. then.

There was (a now deleted, or I don't find it anymore) yt video on the Nords with something in the 8:20s, where the driver wasn't driving any quicker in the corners than me, so I don't get it why.

Yeah, seems about right.

So, because people seems to be concerned about the fuel needed, I just made 4 for laps with 30 bots and 96% grip. I started with 36 liters, enough to race four laps without being able to go full trotlle on some parts due to traffic and grip. Maybe some extra liters would be safer cause a fun thing happened during this race:

Fourth laps, I reached the 9th place. While I go into Metzgesfeld, all the bots in front of me run out of fuel

, going downhill until Ex muhle

@Tobias Röhner I have a very slow connection today and i'm not sure it's "raceable", i'll give it a try but let me know if i lag too much in free practice.

Will do.

Resetting, re-initializing (off/on switching) the DSL modem could help (in some cases). At least with my provider (/or modem type) it's occasionally necessary to do that.. , when the I-Net connection is very slow & almost not there.
