Silverstone - wrong track?

Nicolai Nicholson · Jan 22, 2011

It seems I by mistake used "the wrong" version of Silverstone (different than from season 4, but probably the same as in season 2 and 3->f3000). People have already put down some practice on this track, and that leaves us with the following dilemma;

Should we keep the track online now and rather change prestogp.com to display these times or
should we change tracks asap to the one we used in season 4.

Please give your opinion asap as I have to reach a decition today.

Btw, what is the difference in the tracks? Which one is "the best"? (what times are you doing on this version compared to the one we used in season 4?)

I take everything as it comes and I trust your choice.

My opinion is, that the track I drove online some days ago, was very, very bumpy and therefor a bit risky when fighting.

Other thoughts?

I seem to remember the bumps were the reason for the original switch. I drove both tracks today, the britishgp tracks smoothness makes it a lot easier to handle the car.

On the other hand I remember the "britishGP" version had a bit too much grip compared to any other track. Not that it's a problem for me, just want to mention it. Of course the "britishGP" version is the better looking one and the safer one. So I'd go for it...

Yup has more grip indeed.

Steve Crossland · Jan 22, 2011

Indeed, the BritishGP is also my choice... it hasa much more realistic flow with better undulations.

BritishGP is also my choice, less bumps,better grip safer driving

You convinced me guys, I'll change the servers now, and my appolegies to those who feel they have wasted time on the wrong track.

Don't worry. I Think setups maybe very similar.

Craig Johnston · Jan 22, 2011

I noticed the one on the server currently has a few big bumps, worst of which is the large bump in the breaking zone after the bridge corner.

vote 4 british GP

hmm, that's kinda strange because I personally thought that the britishgp version was the bumpier one which was more difficult to drive especially in club and brooklands, so I would go have gone with that one. Luckily I have good setups for both tracks so it probably wont make much of a difference.

Look forward to seeing it/them in the setup thread

Reik Major · Jan 26, 2011

Here we go Graham. This nights test race was my first serious test with this version after many month. So now I can post two setups in the setup thread.
