BST V8 challenge -COMPLETED

[Gedi69]

With this game Dan who knows settings seem to be all over the place at times for me, i will raise the car a tadd to compensate for the monster curbs and the humps and bumps this makes sense to me but weather its the right thing to do in the game i dunno.

I need to test big time.

The Purple Wizard will not be gracing the grid for the final race this season. I have taken it on a ride through the mountains and down to the river. So here is a reminder of what you will be missing.

I will be happy to make it to the end in one piece, 4th has gone content to scrape enough points to nail 5th.

I did some laps (2 xD) and my best: 8:27.8xx just a normal one but the Car is hard to control here (on others it is easy to drive but 1420kg at Nord ...).

Hope it is a competitive time and I don´t get annihilated within the next post where some one posts a 8:10 or something

Plus I think everybody will pit at 2nd lap the combo is to tire intense (I think test will follow).

 

[Gedi69]

8.27 tyres don't last then?

I always fry tyres... but I just may go for 110% flat out... I have a plan

Do you like our pics on S2 thread?

 

[KingSakery]

I had very often red tires => Tire wear is high
I think 3 laps are possible (even 4) but maybe the Timedrop is too big (that´s what I will test) and/or the Car will be to hard to control on the 3rd lap.

Although I wasn´t pushing (75-85%) but pushing at Nord = crash xD

313kph at Döttinger Höhe with some revs left (drafting maybe).

Really that slow

 

[KingSakery]

The track has more curvy parts then straights. Plus I´m not fully done with testing
But I´ll stay with my Tranny because it suits the Rest of the Track almost perfectly.
I´ll adjust the last two gears a bit to be a bit faster but the Maserati is at her limit (almost).

Yeah but wait till you see ours..

Race 1 at the ring I have the most interesting strategy planned....

 

[VRracingfan]

Got my strategy for this race sorted, hopefully now I can sort out the high tyre wear with set-up changes. Time to get the calculator out...

Any other times been put down

Server's down.

 

[Gedi69]

Server's down.

Can't go online then? How long for

 

[KingSakery]

Servers down => did my offline Tire wear One-Make-race.

4 Laps are impossible without changing (for me).
It is a hard situation: 3 Laps are possible but pitting at Lap 2 is the safer Strategy.

I do know that the Tire-Wear differes but I have made my mind about strategy.
Plus Qualy will be interesting, because you have to do 1 complete Lap before going on your flying one

I know so you might only get 1 pos 2 laps in.

TOCA had quali at the Norschleife and it basically turned into a full race simulation.... I may just keep it on the road and use quali as a test session, no matter where I start...

Anyone beat 8.27 yet I know i can't .
