Bridgestone Tour. FINISHED!

[NoStopN]

Practiced for like 20 minutes and did to a low 2:24 PB. Haven't driven Spa seriously since GT6.

Well, I don't have to worry about the win. I tested last night & did a best somewhere in the 2:27 range. Understeer isn't as bad as @Bivittavus88 made it sound. I'm having a little more of an issue with braking. They don't feel like they have the whoa power that I'm used to. Of course that could be the 132% power that I'm not used to.

Quick question for the regular lobby hosts @Bivittavus88, @Pigems...when you set up the lobby does BOP on give you the power/weight numbers required automatically?, or do I leave BOP off and manually change the power/weight to the desired numbers?

BoP on will auto assign the Sport mode values. Leave BoP off, and manually change

Edit: Unless I've misunderstood, and you mean when you join a practice/race lobby. In that case, it'll be set to allow a certain power/weight range. You then need to manually adjust power as high as the lobby allows, and weight as low as it allows.

That answered it bro. I just didn't recall seeing it when I set up and saved the settings. Then I saw @NoStopN 's post above and realized "oh 🤬 I didn't set the weight, and power" . Thanks for the info .

Practice lobby tonight at 22:00GMT.

Probably a little early for those across the pond. But, I'm going to need a relatively early night.

I do that far too often.

Last one was something like "Tom, Mum and Ian are visiting this weekend. You did book the afternoon off work, so we can go for that stupid expensive meal, right?“

Umm . . Yeah. Sure did.

Then I had to phone my manager, panicking because Sarah would have killed me S'all good, though. Her mam and Ian paid for the meal.

I should be there if all goes to plan

Hopefully see you on track, mate.

It's uploaded with the new numbers. I am not really sure how you mean with the diagonal stripes, I hope this will do.
Have fun!

I seem to have access only to a very small number of decals now. Most of the base ones (Bridgestone, etc) have all disappeared. Anyone experienced this before?

That's just Ferrari being snobby and demanding only a limited number of base decals for their cars.

Usually a restart will fix it

Sorry man. Saw you typing right as I hit exit.

Thanks 👍
I did a 2:26 but hopefully I can get it down to 2:24.

Atm you have the black stripe down the right side [| ]
I wanted it so when viewed from above it looks like [ \ ]
If done that way the strip would be facing the left side across the bumper instead with front portion of the side door being white and the rear black and the opposite on the over door white on the front, black on the rear.
The doors like you have on your Rasefartar & Wip no more liveries but opposite on both panels, so it’s orange at the back and black at front on the right panel.

Thanks. At least I'm not going insane! Got around it by adding the decals I want into favourites folder, and then can apply them that way.

I'm never going to buy an actual Ferrari now, out of spite.

p.s. Thanks for the lobby @Bivittavus88, good fun.

 

[El_Beardo]

Glad you enjoyed it, guys.

My quali pace is about a second off. But, when I was lapping on my own, I did nine laps in the mid 23s before I looped it coming out of Stavelot. So, happy enough with the consistency for now.

Still a bit of work to do, though. So, practice lobbies will be open every night apart from Wednesday (Sarah has something planned. It better be pizza . . )

Aha, you want a fade. If I just draw a diagonal then one door will be all white and one all black. Let me see if I have time to make it

No. Fade as in colour transition?
Maybe it’s best I try and draw it for you, I know I’m kinda useless at explaining things.

The thing is if I make it diagonal it will still leave the doors one colour.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I made another for you, with a half black/white as a slant. Try it out, see if you like it.

Yep that’s more like it :-)
I uploaded an example with my pitiful skills.

Yo, @Mistah_MCA. Have you run any practice laps? If so, what sort of times are you getting?

I practiced a bit the other night. Depending on fuel, I can do 2:22 on full tank, 2:21 when fuel is less than half full.
