Okay here's my adjusted 1986 Season with Kunos Lotus 98T car and amazing skins by Alystar. I have the RSS 1986 but Kunos default car plays better (imho) and I've managed to get my butt kicked every single time I've played this season through (like 5 times). I absolutely love this season.
I'm too young to remember this real season but I've watched it through many times. It has the legendary Adelaide race where Mansell's tyre blew and Rosberg DNF's from dominant lead in his last race, Williams made a crazy tactical mistake and pitted Piquet and Prost the professor won the title.
Senna was fast of course but still quite reckless at Lotus and wasn't at his peak yet. Great, great era of F1. And of course the monster turbos in the BMW-powered Benetton and Brabham.
Kunos 98T is very challenging but rewarding to drive. Beware of downshifting in the corners.
What is different in this setting? Cars will
have to pit during the 15-25 lap races. Also the pitstop crew is slower (tyre change takes about 12 seconds) which mimics the real 1986 season. AI rankings should give very realistic results and for whatever reason I always get some surprise winners too. For example Alboreto won one race in my previous 1986 season. But Prost, Senna, Mansell and Piquet are very hard to beat. Player is set to Rosberg who had 9 DNF's and his worst ever season at McLaren. But with these settings I find it very tough and it's cool to battle for the points and not win everything.
Tracks are mostly 1988 masterpieces with all newest ai improvements by Rainmaker and Endor Team. 1982 Montreal, 1988 Jacarepagua, 1988 Hungaroring have faster ai's. Shin fixed the Osterreichring 1979 which is now super enjoyable fast track and no more idiotic crashing. Brands Hatch has the early 90's skins as I haven't found the perfect fit for the 80's.
Use 100% turbo for the qualifying and static 80% lasts for most races. But adjust the turbo down at Hockenheim, Osterreichring and Spa accordingly. Otherwise your engine will blow. Or use a steady 70% boost. Redefine the turbo adjustment keys at CM.
As usual all downloads in the video description. Make a backup of your Lotus98T Kunos car. However there are no other adjustments than the fuel capacity and consumption (to force player and ai to pit). All skins are in the package. No need to make any ballast/restriction settings as everything has been defined in the champs files.
