Definitely If, that was a great race. Your right about the chicane going in reverse direction btw.

Off topic, but one of my previous fav tracks is coming back - Midfield raceway.

It's already back! 👍

 

[buybon355]

I've just left work, should be home in an hour, been a loooong time since I've driven this track, actually can't wait. Don't know which car to take round first, might even do the double and take the vision mini. Hope the update runs Ok

 

[cgg]

I was really pleased with the update and decided I would try the Midfield out in my Z8. I was getting 1:11.5xx at 550pp on SS tyres, but I don't know how good that it. I am also a fan of the paintable rear wing because my Z8 now has purple on more than just the wheels!

 

[JockeP22]

We then quickly exchanged positions a couple of times. Going into the final lap though, Jocke was back ahead and building a safe cushion to secure the 3rd place. I remember saying to myself in the middle of the final lap as Jocke's lead was looking more and more definitive, now the only thing than can get me on the podium is him messing up the final chicane big time...
And 1 minute later in a cloud of white smoke with all wheels locked, there he was, handing me the 3rd place

👍

Ooh, like this jocke, favorite track

I know, I remembered you telling me. 👍

there's a nice sunset to watch over the hills in the reverse direction.
Perhaps 2 races each way

After the four scheduled ones we could do one in reverse with dry conditions. Perhaps with a maxed out Z8?
The absolute limit is 568 PP. The Z8 can't go any higher than that and I actually think this Club has never driven it on 568 PP before.

👍



Perhaps you lot have heard of Leonard Nimoy's recent passing.
Felt like doing something;

Maybe we could have a tribute race some time in the future.

 

[buybon355]

Suppose max PP would depend on what weight we are all running. Had a wee offline practice through each of the dry PP settings, and seem to be 5-6 seconds faster with each change. Doing 35's on CS at 480, 30's at 500 SH, and 24's at 550 on SS. Takes a bit of adjusting for each. My wet running was pathetic, need to try it sober lol

 

[JockeP22]

Yes, with all power parts fitted and full weight reduction it lands on 568 PP.

Well if you're going purple I'm going pink. Recently tested a little bit at buybon Hill;

 

[buybon355]

That's a special angle jocke lol. Added more negative front toe, got into low 23's with the soft on. Balance is fine with a hard on...

Hi guys!
Just for my right understanding, the 4 races take place :@: Apricot Hill under different conditions?
BTW, could somebody recommend a basic and comfortable car setup (or where could I find solid setups for the Z8?). I still have the very pretty approx. setup from "Monza/Le Mans"...
It would be nice, thanx a lot in advance!!!

Wish you a nice Sunday!

 

[IfAndOr]

Here's a few for you to try out Patrick...

I will live by these words. (omg)

You got it, Patrick.

I have always run with a very basic setup but for our last race at Spa buybon was kind enough to provide me with his setup.
I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I sent it to you through PM.

This is very, very kind from you IfAndOr. Thanx a lot!!! 👍👍👍

I'm pretty sure that @buybon355 is also a fine guy.
Thanx dear Jocke!!!

Ooops! Sorry for the double post, something went wrong...

 

[IfAndOr]

Ooops! Sorry for the double post, something went wrong...

For a moment I wasn't sure which post to "like".

I have always run with a very basic setup

Perhaps we should try a few untuned races on the tyres it comes with* to see how it goes. I'm up for that.

* It might be the sport hard one's.

Hey (Jocke) sorry I meant IfAndOr, I don't wish to bring trouble here. I'm the one that have to learn the rules and to follow them...

 

[JockeP22]

It might be the sport hard one's.

I believe you're right about that.

I'm the one that have to learn the rules and to follow them

No strict rules here.

I quite liked Paul's suggestion. Something for next time. 👍

Who is Paul?

 

[JockeP22]

He is the one who painted Mona Lisa. (it wasn't da Vinci, honest.)

OK guys, I'll give these settings a try... CU later...

@IfAndOr : Hi Paul, nice to meet you!

 

[IfAndOr]

Who is Paul?

Who indeed!

@IfAndOr : Hi Paul, nice to meet you!

Oh it's me! Likewise Patrick.

OK guys, I'll give these settings a try... CU later...

If you suddenly start winning races you'll have to tell me which setup you used!

That imposter! He usually gets all the credit. Have you tried clicking on her?

 

[o_OPaTricKO_o]

If you suddenly start winning races you'll have to tell me which setup you used!

For sure, no prob!

Have you tried clicking on her?

LOL (typical look at waking up...) 👍
Too bad that the animated GIF doesn't work under the threads...

 

[buybon355]

Who's on first Base. Yeah jocke if you can type out the tune feel free to share with Patrick, it's kinda tricky on a phone

 

[o_OPaTricKO_o]

Here's a few for you to try out Patrick...

Z8 Setup 1

Z8 Setup 2

Z8 Setup 3

Z8 Setup 4

Please notice that I've tested at first with the DS3 (at the moment not enough space for my wheel installation)

Setup 1 -> My favorite by the 500 PPs 👍
Setup 2 -> Too much basic. (However much better as my initial settings... )
Setup 3 -> Wow!!! A very good one 600 PP. Feels like a missile... 👍
Setup 4 -> Also a nice (and powerful) one. A little to much drift, but one can get accustomed to it by practicing... My case for instance...

Thanx a lot once again Paul! I really appreciate... 👍

 

[Aaroh]

It looks like my schedule may allow me to race tonight. Its been a while I've driven the Z8

With CS tires, It's quite fun to drive

 

[JockeP22]

The Black Devil

I might go with an all white Z8 and call it The White Saint.

Looking forward to it, Aaroh.

Sitting in the car at the moment waiting to pick someone up at the train station.

 

[o_OPaTricKO_o]

@JockeP22 and @buybon355,
Once again thanks a lot for the setup, but I'm not able to drive this "war machine"... not yet...
Toooooo much drift friends!!! You guys are already real pros (or real aliens) for driving with such settings... 👍
I prefer staying wise...

CU later on the track...
