FRL~INDYCAR~ Plux Runs Out Of Fuel.... After He Takes The Chequers At The Motegi 300!Finished

[cgr-10]

Unfortunately can't take part in the 500 as it's my prom night; damnit.

 

[Ninners]

Mine ads a bit of front aero.

I guess I could try that out sometime. Was running min normally and I guess a bit more front end would be welcome.

That's one small part of my setup.

 

[Ninners]

We already know you're running more downforce which is pointless.


You won't be as racy as the cars around you.

 

[Roflwaffle]

If you want to be able to go side-by-side through corners without risk, add some aero.

 

[Furinkazen]

Balancing act of speed vs tyre wear...

Firstly, no i'm not. Secondly, 3x 3rds in testing (with unlucky last stages) show it works to some extent.

Thirdly,

If you want to be able to go side-by-side through corners without risk, add some aero.

 

[Ninners]

Tyre wear will be less of a factor if we have cautions a lot.


The races are a bit of a lottery.

Even Furi won a race.

 

[Roflwaffle]

Only a couple tenths slower with a little front aero. If you can keep in the draft, then there's no problem.

Also means that your front tyres can go to pot and you can still have balanced handling.

 

[DrifterJoe]

I don't see us having many cautions once the field starts spreading out. It'll mainly be single file and there won't be pack racing since you only pick up draft once you're half a second behind someone, and the dirty air makes following another car tricky. Cautions will probably come from mistakes on old tyres, where someone understeers into the wall and collects someone else after, or an oversteer spin on old tyres.

 

[Bo]

someone understeers into the wall and collects someone else after

I think mostly this.

 

[Roflwaffle]

I remember one incident in a test race, where me and Fox were going 2-wide through T3 but made slight contact. I hit the wall and speared across the track into Fox who the also spun.

If you've got the balance of the car right you will be able to run min aero easily, all your issues with understeer can be worked out using toe and ride height.

And something else...

But still more aero would help tyres.

 

[Bo]

In terms of quali this week, if none of my teammates are available to watch my run, does that mean i'm out?

No, just if you do get a teammate to watch you you need someone else who's not a team member as well.

It would help tyres, but so would dropping a few tenths back from the pack and lifting into the corners. Full aero is great if you want to battle in a pack from lap 1-180, but the last few laps you will get left for dead because you will be down on top speed. The points are handed out at the end of the race for where you finish, not for going 3 wide for a whole lap.

 

[Bo]

Ta 👍

I'll probably be making my run tomorrow... or whenever anyone's online.

 

[Panoz]

Indy could be a toss up, comers and goers all around.

The Indy Lights race has potential to become wild.

True. Also in draft tyres will wear even more. It's not going to be 224mph Q laps solo for 199 laps.

This.

 

[Roflwaffle]

So for us who are locked in, do we only get one shot?

 

[Ninners]

We get the regular session don't we?

I just started playing JLS in my head after reading that

You guys are in as normal and turn up and drive as normal sunday night.

Oh man, that will be insane.

It'll be close, the slowest lap I did in a 35 lap run was just under 221mph

 

[Ninners]

This race is going to be close.

 

[Furinkazen]

6 Quali spots for the 500. I am available to Q people for the next hour, but unavailable tomorrow.

Right, never on on Wednesdays. Thursday, perhaps?
