Did you try the porker? It overheats the brakes from the second lap you take onwards, no matter which brake duct blanking one uses. Cannot even do a Qualy lap, because brakes heat up to over 600 C by the end of the out lap and stay there pretty much all the time. Dunno what to make of it, especially that we have a huge braking zone at the end of the back straight.

I did - on multiple tracks as well, trying to find a combo that worked, with a fairly known track, and cars with enough speed difference over time to enable lapping, without being very dangerous.

I had no issues with the Porsche (or Clio).

Okay. Thank you Ole.
My brake pedal goes long on a second lap no matter what settings I use.
That means I will sit this one out, don't wanna end up running into somebody cause my brakes failed.

If I get chance I'll test the Porsche and see if I get the same issue.

Turned a couple of laps, seemed to work ok for me. The car feels a bit weird though at first I have to say. I think the brake ducts work the other way round in this car, so heighest number seems to to be the most open and coolest. Also the brake balance is far to the front. I changed it to the rear as much as possible but the car starts to get unstable. Seems like to have to make it a bit unstable so that it's just about bearable.
Can give you my setup if you wanna try

 

[Roy Magnes]

I am in with the Porsche, please

Sign me in, please, with the Porker. If I will feel the brake fade I will leave the server, but I love racing with you on a weekly basis.

 

[SwannyUK]

Shame there aren't more in the Clio, it's a cracking little car - good fun to throw around.

Funny you should say that. I tried the Clio this morning and got on better with it than with the Cayman. It’s also more fun. May I switch to the Clio please?

 

[Comerut]

In Clio please, I try to be on home for race this.

 

[SwannyUK]

I think we might be able to get away with just changing front tyres in the pit stop. Does that make the stop any quicker?

 

[Hartmut2]

Sorry guys but I have to sign out.

That I didn't bother to test - as I only changed the fronts when I tested that it worked like it should and not take minutes
I'm doing some testing for next weeks event after I've eaten a bit, so can test that as well. I would assume it would be enough to only change fronts. Though, that miiight make it a bit oversteery.

Oh hell yeh, bring on the full power slides

Eh! @Balazs Flossmann Isn't FWD kinda your thing?

18 sec difference between Front or 4 wheels.
Seems like it simulates jacking up the front, changing front tyres, and then simulating putting it down, pulling out the jack, carrying around the car and then jack up the rear! Quite realistic, but ye, 18 seconds to save there
