rF2 Special Event: Endurance Pack Multiclass @ Le Mans 24h - Sun 7 Jul 2019

[Tony]

Hi, registered for a long time but rarely being here at RD, (RRE Guy who is new to rF2) but guess that might change . Just for the record: No performance issues with european drivers joining the AU timezone server ? Just curious.....

not usually, have a few euro guys the race regularly with us. as long as your ping is stable you should be fine

 

[Chris]

That's one heck of a GTE field!
Can't wait to see you all on track this Sunday!

To anyone driving the corvette and can offer setup advice... I'm having lots of off-throttle oversteer. I like it pointy at the front end but not this much!

 

[Ross McGregor]

P2 please

I was using the BMW for a recent race (pre-update) which felt great. S397 in all their wisdom just completely messed this up so now I'm getting the same kind of behaviour with the BMW. The rear is all over the place, and my setup is pretty much useless. I'm guessing they may have also updated the Corvette?

Yeah same for me Andy the setup I had for the M8 felt great not so anymore from what I've read elsewhere the M8 may be as much as 2secs (3khp slower top speed) a lap slower since the update.
The Corvette is now slightly slower and the Porsche now appears to be the quickest.

Compared to the previous RD race, the top speed of the M8 entering the first Mulsanne chicane has dropped (for me anyway) by 5km/h. Ok the temp is 4c higher on the Aussie server, but I doubt that accounts for the difference.

I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories, but here's an extract from the latest Le Mans circuit update. There's a tiny part of me that can't help making a connection

 

[Alexey Spirichev]

Alexey, thank you for your entry. You are the first reserve for GTE.

 

[Alex Townsend]

Really looking forward to this one guys!

 

[Chris]

The rear is all over the place

Noticed the same with the Porsche. Had to go up to 3 on the rear wing to make it driveable through the Porsche curves. Thankfully didn't lose too much straight line speed.

I've been busy this week so done zero practice, are you sticking with the BMW? Or did you tweak the rear wing?

Yeah I'll probably just stick with the M8 haven't tried upping the rear wing yet but I will do.

 

[alexSchmurtz]

I'm also away all week and can't practice... I did many laps but that was before the updates!

@Paul Glover @Stephen Gibb I noticed a couple posts at the official forum suggesting to increase diff preload to the max... Hope this helps!
