Guys, I could really use some driving help. I am working really hard to get faster, but its a bit depressing to see someone put in five laps and turn a 1:17.5. I tested all six of the available cars. I chose the one that I thought drove the best. I spent three hours tuning it. My lap times at Silverstone International circuit are currently in the 1:20's.

Am I at the right track? Was the 1:17 run online with all of the event settings? I have been running with the exact race settings, running the 15 lap races and I can only run consistent 1:20's, even in the rain up to 15% surface water.

Can anyone offer up some driving advice?

I think most people in the mid 17s are just running with tire wear/fuel off. They'll be in for a rude awakening on race day.

Are you not running wide at the Chapel crossover?

I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling, especially seeing a more talented racer. I touched 1:22 flat and have a bit of work to do. My times were online and still not a lot of laps put in. I will try zeroing camber and toe.

I recall during a period in GT5 that toe of +.3 was greatly reducing tire wear, but the specs of this car doesn't factor into this.
 
Some great action with @jsjakesaid yesterday :cheers:.









Sideway entry at Stowe :







(Every pic is from a different lap)

I was turning in 1:17:4 offline with realistic settings (no driving help) but online with @jsjakesaid we were only able to turn in 1:18:4 at the best the car just felt really slow in the straights :confused:.

All the times we've been reporting were from online sessions with tire wear and fuel on. Being offline, there's currently still no option to run with tire wear and fuel on, which explains your quicker times offline.

That's why carracer's still the fastest cat out there with a 17.7 (or was it 4? don't remember) on low fuel. my best is a 17.8.

Ok that explain a lot of things we weren't using tire wear and fuel on, Thank you 👍.

Don't forget to cheat @ the Chapel crossover. It's worth many tenths. Other than that's it's just all classic momentum driving. Like, don't lift off at Abbey I think I only blip down to ~75% throttle then flat til village, brake bonkers late let it scrub speed on entry... back on the throttle early, barely brake at all for the Chapel cut, trailing throttle in, flat out. Then stowe is the tricky bit; it's worth ~1/2 second to go in hot and then trail brake when the corner tightens up to point the car inside then ease the power on as early as ye dare. Vale and club a pretty straight forward.
 
As you can see from the signup sheet on the last couple pages, there is a pre-season race on Saturday. Also, which time did you sign up for? If you are racing saturday, please use the signup sheet which you can get 3 posts up.
I signed up for the 8pm est races on Saturdays. So this Saturday we have a preseason race. Group 2 goes in the room at 9pm, correct? also, I wondering where the preseason race will be.
 
Hey guys I would like to join the series. I already registered with P.U.R.E. Should I copy and paste the attendance list with my name here?

Autumn Ring reverse?

FMSC6 Pre-Season Showdown: Autumn Ring Reverse

I seem to have gotten lost, I guess we are talking Silverstone.
 
Just got a 1:17:702 online with tire wear/fuel on fast at silverstone international with dry conditions.




Just stay in a line as much as possible don't zig zag and if you need go a bit wide before the straight.
 
In off-line, cutting that far left at Chapel crossover will turn your time red.

Yeah, I already brought it up; and I know for a fact instructors will tell you to stay inside the kerb also... but online it's not possible to police so RT is letting everyone molest that exit tarmac like an alter boy in the Vatican basement.

What he said, except for the alter boy thing. :lol:

Yes yesterday we had those on... i made the settings precisely to the given specs
BDW: great shots... just one thing that i couldnt tell u yesterday... the exit from stowe, i'm not sure you can go on the green kerbing unless you have at least two wheels on the red/white kerbing

Damn thats strange, today no problem to sign a 1:17:7 online physics are weird :lol:.

For the stowe exit most of the time it was because I was a bit over the limit :D .
 
So what are people's times for autumn ring reverse? I've been practicing silverstone I managed to get into the low 1:18's best is 1:18.338. Anyone want a practice session on autumn ring tonight for fun? I get home around 9pm EST.
