CORE WEC Season 3Finished

[Izzyracer97]

With the setup we run here the lower the rear ride height is the more the rear slides, I'm just playing with DF, LSD and Ride Height and small changes to gearing.

This track has a ton of grip though so I actually picked up pace when I took of the DF now I just need an oil change and chassis rebuild cuz that race brought me down to 695hp

 

[Ninners]

Seriously the car is a dream to drive, just need to find a good way to remain consistent with the way I take the chicane.

@aboe @andp132 I want you guys to stay as a team, It looks like there is a possibility we could have the WEC live streamed so i will need that final spot cleared for live stream use

OK cool, not a problem.
I guess this means that the other 908 (the one I was originally driving) now becomes available. So, is it possible that both myself and Andro switch to using that? As I was hoping to switch back to using it anyway, once race three had passed and we'd both found new team mates...

 

[Phouchg]

Anyone know what a good time for the GTEs are or is it only the LMP guys that start practising this early? ^^

 

[Ninners]

@memto89 or you could split the fortbo and FRT team and assign them to both of the Andro aboe team. But I think that goes against the sprit of both teams but your call.

I'm testing a bit tomorrow

 

[Phouchg]

I'm testing a bit tomorrow

That should give us a real top time to shoot for

 

[gtpcaine]

I'm hoping the RX7 is a bit easier to drive around Daytona than my R8 is... Won't have time to practice until next week at best

 

[Ninners]

I've already done around 30 laps round here for pre-season testing. Should be around 5000 or 6000 miles in total here.

Seriously? I haven't even hit 750 yet

 

[Phouchg]

Nin took the chance to practise while everyone else was preparing for the N24, sneaky bastard. I wonder if this mileage advantage will even out over the season, probably since it's such a long one. ^^

 

[Izzyracer97]

Seriously the car is a dream to drive, just need to find a good way to remain consistent with the way I take the chicane.

the staightest way possible it's fastest but risky you have to go over the bumps and it may set your car the wrong way but when you pull it off it's about a second faster than squaring off the corners

Also, I was practicing today and was managing low 29s before the stop havent tested much after.

 

[memto89]

First round points and penalties will be up this evening hopefully once everything is cross checked and confirmed

 

[Izzyracer97]

I was just thinking about that it's like you read my mind

 

[Ninners]

Redbullrider also took the chance and I think he's done very similar amounts of mileage as me if not more.

 

[RS__96__oO]

That should give us a real top time to shoot for

I got a 1'40.240 min after some testing with post glitch tyres, could get under 1'40 with some little setup tweaks
However, I think Caine beats that time

I would say guessing by our GT3 specs + pace that times here will be under 1'40, but I am yet to test. I might be faster over a single lap, but your stint pace was incredible at Indy 👍

 

[eDirtyTati]

I ran 3-lap races at 500PP last night until 3 in the morning. I haven't played GT like that in forever and it felt great! Random Tati comment: over.

Edit: WAIT! I lied. Also completely unrelated is that Performance BMW Magazine featured one of the cars from our shop. We got the cover! I'm just so proud that I'm sharing it with everyone I know. Sorry @memto89 http://dualangriff.com/index.php/blog

Ok, carry on.

 

[memto89]

still trying to sort out the race positions please hold on guys

 

[Phouchg]

This track i going to be a tricky one to get consistent. Bus stop and first corner just don't want to cooperate with me

 

[TDZdave]

I think turn 1 is a lot more narrow then it was on GT5, specially with how violent the bump on the aprin can be going past the nascar pit exit,

 

[Izzyracer97]

Idk maybe it just seems like it comes up on you quicker

 

[CinnamonOD]

I'll need to have more testing on this one, I have a lot of understeer in the first corner, I'll maybe do something with the ride height

 

[David Brooks]

This track i going to be a tricky one to get consistent. Bus stop and first corner just don't want to cooperate with me

Agreed. I think I have potential to improve my lap times on those two areas, but you push it just a little too far and you pay for it.

 

[Phouchg]

Any plans for practise tonight? I know it's not race wednesday, but it's wednesday at least.

Lap 3: Start: Clean, STaLLiOnO, eDirtyTati very late on brakes into T1, almost cause accident. STaLLiOnO then cuts back across the track into the path of other cars.

Lap 8: ZovomirVanBasten - STaLiOnO, redbullrider20: Zovo,
Verdict: Avoidable Contact: ZovomirVanBasten +60
While STaLLiOnO does wobble slightly, he doesn't completely block the track. Zovomir has time to react but decides to try and drive around the outside rather then lift, hits the wall, bounces into STaLLiOnO, who then collects redbull.

Lap 23 - Stalliono - White Line (pit out)
Verdict: 30 secs

Lap 38: ZovomirVanBasten - GTPL_Plotnik:
Contact: ZovomirVanBasten +60
Zovo, Plotnik leaves you room into T6, putting him on the inside into T7. You fail to make the pass and you simply turn into him. Verdict: Avoidable

Lap 40 - Stalliono - White Line (pit out)
Verdict: 30 secs

Lap 47: redbullrider20 - Glen-Alz-81:
Verdict: Racing Incident: NFA
redbull, you are too late on the brakes into T4, however Glen doesn't seem to be damaged from the incident and is not hindered noticably,

Lap 50 - Stalliono - White Line (pit out)
Verdict: 30 secs

Lap 53: LEFT4DEAD_NL - STaLLiOnO:
Verdict: Avoidable Contact: LEFT4DEAD_NL +60s
LEFT4DEAD_NL, You outbrake yourself into T8 and hit STaLLiOnO who is taking his rightful line.

Verdict: Accident, STaLLiOnO Driving Standards 1/3

Lap 66 (LEFT4DEAD_NL): STaLLiOnO - LEFT4DEAD_NL:
Verdict: Avoidable Contact: STaLLiOnO +60, Driving Standards 2/3
STaLLiOnO, You not only almost cause a big accident into T8 by massively out braking yourself on a car that is a lap down, but then seal the deal and hit him into T9 in an almost perfect reconstruction. It is not acceptable to drive so hard when you are around other cars, let alone those who are lapping you.

Lap 75 - Stalliono - White Line (pit out)
Verdict: 30 secs

Lap 81: GTP_Caine - STaLLiOnO:
Verdict: Unsafe Rejoin +60
Caine, Upon your rejoin, STaLLiOnO waits for you since he is laps down, then you spin into him on the turbo boost. We were all warned about being careful upon rejoins.

[memto89]

Any plans for practise tonight? I know it's not race wednesday, but it's wednesday at least.

After calculating all the times etc I don't think I want to see gt6 for a few days lol

 

[memto89]

OK cool, not a problem.
I guess this means that the other 908 (the one I was originally driving) now becomes available. So, is it possible that both myself and Andro switch to using that? As I was hoping to switch back to using it anyway, once race three had passed and we'd both found new team mates...

If you wish to switch then do so but due to your teams gold driver standings I may have to enforce a performance penalty in order to level out but I will let you know once I get more data from races

 

[aboe]

OK thanks @memto89. We'll make the switch for the next race then.

 

[Phouchg]

Oh my, then I expect that you'll love to hear that you've spelled my name wrong in the standings ^^ Nikodemus not Nikodamus but that's all right, sounds a bit like nostradamus and he's pretty cool.
