Ooooo! Someone else who likes to arrive at Rascasse sideways! I`ll be off to Ascari later myself. Just what I need, another distraction from testing!

 

[coryclifford]

His '76 is pretty sweet. His '05 though... might be alright at Ascari.

My '04 Civic is flying around Ascari. Kills it on the slow corners (thanks Monaco), and if I'm gentle it still flies around the fast corners. Little hairy on the brakes though, so I'm not using them much.

 

[fordracer]

There are a hand full of tunes from this test I want to run there. Gotta get done here and tear myself away from that Cobra though. That could be tough!

 

[coryclifford]

Cobra is easy. Full aero. 5 speed set right. Full soft. Loose diff. Flying.

22.7 in the Civic

Your 3 speed idea was great but the bog in 1st gear killed up going up hill. a 4 gear set up would have been better or a shorter 1st & 2nd to get it up the hill. It was the second fastest of the VW's for me on the back half of the track, but the time loss going up the hill kept it from being the fastest VW.

18 down 18 to go. Pfft, I've established a great relationship with the local body shop.

18 down & 18 to go? I thought there were only 17 tuners?
I also wanted to ask @Soren Jacquet if he had his info/score/lap times/reviews on @feydrautha 's tunes. I didn't see them on any of the posts, unless I missed it.

I prolly miss counted. I have 18 to go. My head hurts this morning and I feel like im getting slower at Monaco the last 6 cars have been at or above 2 min mark for me. -_- Not sure if it's the car or me. I'm gonna keep going but if I find out it's me i'm going to have to step out of the testing as I am barely going to finish the lot with out having to retest 6 cars.

I ran into a strech of that too. Found that for me atleast, I was anticipating too much and not being aggresive enough.

 

[DolHaus]

You need to be precise to be fast at Monaco and the more fatigued you get the less precise you'll be, its a fine line between clipping the curbs enough to maintain speed and bouncing the front wheels into the air and ploughing into the wall

 

[coryclifford]

I reset my brain driving the new Nissan LMP2 car around the Nürb between cars. Though yesterday I was asked to drive the Formula GT around Monaco so I used that. On RS tires. That was insane.

If 1st was any smaller I`d be taking the first corner in 2nd! I`ve checked a replay and I`m using the lift off oversteer to rotate into the corner and I`m back on throttle before the apex, straighten up and snatch 2nd. She flies up the hill! 👍

You tried the 3 gear transmission in another challenge didn't you? I'm pretty sure, but I can't remember which one though or why.

For a tired man you sure are on top of the stats!

not that tired, just a splitting headache. Meds are not helping it. Not sure why I have it. but it's a bad combo with two toddlers around.

Are you sure its not whiplash from too much crashing in Monaco?

 

[Otaliema]

could be. i've found ever wall on every part of the track. No other track is that brutal on me.

Does the pain feel like its coming from behind your eyes?

yeah and the base of my skull on my neck at the C1/C2 location.

Dehydration, drink a few pints of water (only water, no juice/coke/coffee etc.). It'll take a while to ease off but it will sort it eventually

The Dr is in the Haus. Good advice with the water.

yeah been working on that as well, already cleared 50 oz in the last couple hours.

I spend most of the day outside in the sun and wind drinking far too much tea and I always get those kind of headaches

Paracetamol will take the edge off but ibuprofen won't do jack (its an anti inflammatory not a pain killer), your brain is shrivelling slightly and pulling on your optic nerves and brain stem hence the neck and back of eye pain.

 

[coryclifford]

I say have a few beers!

If you drank till you passed out it would work but otherwise its just going to dehydrate you further and make it worse (thats why you get hangover headaches) 👍

 

[Otaliema]

too many carbs! Bad for my cholesterol I like the idea tho.

So true but I wouldn't care about the headache while I was drinking 👍

 

[Otaliema]
