512BB '76 One-Make-Event - Suzi 550 RWD - XX:23 / XX:53

Also, this entire time I've been using 2nd gear for T4 (left hander) when 3rd is much more ideal That's been costing me an easy tenth or two, so I'll probably have another go tonight and try and nail a .7xx or possibly .6xx 👍

Thought you was using 3rd gear on that corner..

BTH_Lacko_M47 has a rubbish name...but he is an absolute diamond to race against.

So much fun - Thank you (input real name here)...top man!

Just as I was about to give up, TA posts his replay. Back to the wheel, I guess!

Got it down by a couple of tenths: 1:53.142

Not until today after a few races with you Something didn't seem right as you powered out of there and I couldn't make up all that much ground in your draft. I tried 3rd gear the next lap and got a much better run of course

Sorry for my driving in that last race. Wasn't focused at all

 

[Lits]

good race with something of this forum

Its was about time you did a mistake anyway Our races was exelent though! 2 very fast races 3rd gear have I used since I got my hands on your tune, feels natural. I use all your tweaks on your tune, feels better for each tweak No new best times but because of your last damper fix low 52's is easyer

See you guys tomorrow

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! .... but : .... seems like nobody is around anymore and I missed plenty good action.... sigh. Oh well, I'm dead meat anyway, will have a look at TA's magical lap hoping to discover some capital mistake I'm just repeating since hundreds of laps.... *Ren hopes dearly*... Thanks for posting bud! 👍

I'll give it another shot now anyway, maybe there ist somebody out there still afterall.... and then I hope to see many, ideally all, of you again tomorrow!

Edit: k, found the capital mistake: my driving style ... at least there's hope.
And I had two one-on-ones just now with Spif, thx

Cheers man
My real name is Laszlo. I'm Hungarian and we pronounce my nick name LACKO in a different way to native English speakers. To pronounce it right I try to make it English LOL LATZKO but my English friends can't pronounce it the right way because in your language you don't have that sound.
The M47 comes from my favorite party place in Hungary. Click the A CLUB sphere http://m47.hu/index.htm When I used to go there the music was hard techno what I love. Like this just the sound quality is not the best. Look at the feeling at 1'20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peTZvh3UEo4
I still use S2/S3 that's why we bumped each other a few times. I think you have been using S3/S3.
See you later.

All times, replays etc updated!

Announcement: You guys better get in here tonight and tomorrow plenty to participate in the last races carried out on S tyres, cause on request/agreement we will modify this event starting Monday!

=> Manly Men's 512BB Racing! N1's front and rear will be rule! But no worries, I am not intending to copy the previous brilliant "no mercy" idea, meaning no driving aids . If it was me I would indeed forbid ABS, since I'm a bit puristic as far as cars go, and I'm sure the 512 didn't have ABS factory wise...but this is still a computer game and I find the 512 is hands full enough the way it is, I don't want to additionally have to work the brakes with a toothpick! Besides that I think one of the main gains of this event is that usually most people entering the race also finish it, very often in a nice pack even 👍. I think that would change without abs at least on 1 (IMO of course).

So, unless this thread now flows over with protests that's the plan. Normally I would have put a POLL up to get everybodies opinion, but I'm incapable to even remove the old POLL and so far nobody could tell me how it can be done . So I'll do it like the politicians, as long as there's no revolution it will be done! Think we'll have a blast!!!

Enough blathering for now! Hope to seeyall soon on track!
Cheers
Heiko

I'll be doing some racing in about an hour 👍 I might do some testing on N1's as well, if anyone wants to join Hope to see some of you in the chat

 

[Ren]

Change to N-tyres called off!

Update: we've been testing N1s for a bit now. Thx TA, RPM and Grenade for joining in!
Conclusions so far: N1s are ruled out! Reason being: lap times are too slow to finish races before the time limit runs out. Assuming the odd participant driving decent lap times out front at least N2s are necessary to finish a race. Besides that it is a bit less hardcore. Guess I can't call the event then "Manly Men's..." anymore since I'm already starting to compromise. But the N2s are still challange enough for sure!

I might also "allow" N3s, but then a PP limit of 539 would be applicable (that's the max the N2 equipped cars can reach).

I'd really like everyone's opinion on this! On the one hand a few and I are keen on a new challange, on the other hand I don't want to ruin a beautiful event!

So let's here it!

RPM just suggested a trial evening.... maybe we should do a couple on N1s, but let's time that on the chat, right.

Oh very clever! Maybe I should have looked into this before making the big announcements Since I just missed the 41:30 race I thought I 'll give the 512 a go on N1 front and rear => gives us max 527PPs.... Even on N3s all around only 449PP.

So here's my new thinking: let's do the N1s, at least then all the Clios etc can take off and don't bother us any longer. Only prob is gonna be hairpin 1 Lap 1, and since waiting at the starts is banned I do see a bit of chaos coming here.

Opinions?

 

[Rudi Raser]

no one online to race with the normal s-tyres?

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

I will join xx41.30sec. 👍

 

[Wardy 944]

me too 👍

 

[The Outlaw]

In @ 41.30 on S tires 👍

 

[Ren]

I'll join on S3s at 41:30 👍

[Rudi Raser]

the game freezed........

 

[Wardy 944]

the game freezed........

yeah nightmare

Great race at 01 made up for the freeze 👍

 

[Chunkee_Monkey]

Cheers Rudi, gone for some food, back later

 

[RussRobit]

The race I'd like to see would be no aids (abs,tc,sc), reset to default setings, put on s1 tires and adjust hp and weight only to achieve 550pp. Any car that qualifies is in. I've been trying them out and there all fairly close. Of course this would be on the honour system, but I trust you all.

 

[Rudi Raser]

i had only two good races today, thx Mr.V, TA and Chunkee. 👍

most problem for me is the brake point for the first corner.
and it had take some hours to find a setup whats working for me.

best free run so far, 1.51,878. but it can be still a bit faster.

[mr_VOLCANO]

I sure will test your setup tomorrow 👍 Thanks for sharing
The race we had was very nice, all 3 of us finnished in 9.24.8xx

See you guys tomorrow

 

[Ren]

Nice one Rudi! 👍
Thx for sharing!
I'll update when I've got the chance (I'm sure the next fail will come soon! LOL) I'll put your great Lap and tune in post 1 as well! Cheers!

LOL: guess what? Right.... ... therefore updated! 👍

 

[GTP_rpm]

You know you're racing in the right event when Rudi joins.

Love for Rudi? I think so *Love*

Be a shame to change it from S tyres to N tyres for good...?!

 

[Ren]

Be a shame to change it from S tyres to N tyres for good...?![/QUOTE]

I'm waiting for more input on the thread with regards to that change... As we, you included , found out ealier it's quite a handful...
Either way, things won't change on the weekend. We'll see what the opinions are and decide for Monday

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

I think S3 work quite well Full grids every night, is not N1 going to scare people off? And why N1, is not N3 a more realistic choice?

 

[Rudi Raser]

thats not winter games here.

 

[Wardy 944]

great grid, great race 👍

 

[Ren]

point taken 👍
The why N1 and not N3 topic is lengthily (does that word exist???) discussed below....

 

[DGiant2000]

lengthily (does that word exist???)

No! you mean 'is discussed at length below'

Now, enough of this N1,2,3 nonsense, lets stick to S tyres shall we!
