Put me done as a maybe..... need to see if I can get everything loaded and running properly.

i’ll give it a go, please @Craig Dunkley
My first go in LMP1 ( Toyota TS040 ) tonight, the Alexis is going to seem so slow....
I will sneak the TS040 power plant into the Alexis, so watch out John.
Haha, I've had about 15 mins trying to learn the track and I'm buggered if I can keep it on the roadMy first go in LMP1 ( Toyota TS040 ) tonight, the Alexis is going to seem so slow....

Well I'm always happy to take feedback from people who know its characteristics. Although a lot of things like brake bias and suspension setup are just personal preference, I took the defaults from a setup sheet of someone who raced one in the 00s, so they probably weren't configured exactly like it in the 60s. And for all I know they were using a rebuilt chassis with different geometry.Have to say, whilst it's a lot of fun (I think!), it handles nothing like the real thing... or my memory is broke... but Jim Russel told me to say that
Oops, never thought I'd get caught with my pants down by the developer Hope you didn't take offense Nick, none intended and as with all devs I'm grateful for your work. It was in the 70's when I drove one (briefly and badly) so most likely is a memory problem.Well I'm always happy to take feedback from people who know its characteristics.

I think maybe I'm also too used to the handling characteristics of a rearward brake bias, I find oversteer easier to compensate for than understeer so I just set it up to brake best in a straight line and don't worry about stable trailbraking.
Tyres might be why I was flummoxed Nick, I'm almost sure we were on road tyres (which FF started with, radials? Firestone? not sure) then I heard years later they introduced a cheap racing tyre, I think? If they did, and this car is based on them, it would explain a lot about the general feel of the car.Nah no offense taken, I know how little real data this is built with, especially in the area of tires - it's so far out of the range of anything else in the game (weighs 1/2 as much, tires significantly smaller) that all the real data basically consists of the tire dimensions and a vertical stiffness at 15psi, everything else is just assumptions aiming not to exceed real life lap times.
Need to sign out sry @Craig Dunkley i have hardware issues. Need to send my wheel back to fanatec. I cant race maybe 1 week i hope.
Have fun guys
