Hi,

thanks to all for publishing their settings. I tried +0,03/-0,03 and 5/5. It now feels a bit easier to gain fast laptimes, especially in the second sector.

Best T1 so far 18.746, better T1 didn't result in a result

keep racing,
D.

Starting to get a good feel for this one. Still a lot of work to do though.

Toe
0.0/-0.07
bb 4/7

Five hundredths has never seemed so huge

 

[DGiant2000]

And I thought this one would be a good one to jump back into as it's short with very little tuning...

After 90 mins of frustration, I realised the schoolboy error of having TCS set to 5 After a reset, some improvement but nowhere near some of the excellent times being set here, I know I'm rusty but its good to see the WRS is still frequented by aliens!

20 ms off (S1 mostly) and managed to keep that rear right rubber (fully) on track, well, << there.

That's how I suck them in.

New split for me tonight -

18.377

BB 2/3 and Toe of 0/-0.08

Figured out a few tricks to replicate some consistency, but this lap needs the last corner complex cleaned up.

Now running 5:3 over my standard 3:7, seems to rotate better and quicker.

Look out @mistersafeway we're coming for you first

We've got the tools and the will, we just have to muster up the ability. 👍

Toe 0.0/-0.07
BB 3/6 I'm only using the high rear brake bias for rotation at the first turn at the down hill. Otherwise it would be more like a 6/4.

Same for me, it's a total compromise. But that first corner is way too much of an understeery craps shoot with other approaches to brake balance settings. I've learned how to drive around it for the rest of the track.

EDIT: Half the board now covered by 0.220.

 

[DeuxMilles]

Hi,

harder and harder to improve.

Edit: found a tenth

 

[MadMax]

A few more tweaks to toe & brakes yesterday:
+0.20/+0.25 , 0/7

[Ph1sh]

The Phish definitely has been D(r)iving all over this combo

Fun little car, will give it a go tomorrow 👍

Running @randy1122 setup. Works like a charm!

Slowly but surely

I think he means the improvements.

I know I was ecstatic to improve my splits by a couple tenths and pick up a bit at the line.

Everything is relative here..........

 

[Thematic]

Today the magic happened in lap 30. Unlike the previous 29 laps, I was struggling to concentrate and when starting it, was pretty sure it wasn't going anywhere. I failed to notice the again higher speed and thought that half a minute more was just a completionist thing. Oh and I guess I would have a little more time today but that 172 ms improvement is kind of telling me to sleep on it, first.

[epic_apri_39]

I've improved by a tenth.

On low grip settings.




👍

 

[EDK]

On low grip settings.

I assume you mean the car, not the track?

 

[Thematic]

^ I assume the opposite because no leaderboard post.

 

[EDK]

^ I assume the opposite because no leaderboard post.

Good point.

I think ALL of the settings are low grip with the car.

 

[8l23ub]

Some changes

Toe 0.01/-0.03 BB 5/7

Found a whopping two tenths , what chances my final sector has improved to average

18.352

Man, nailed the rest of the lap and I'm up 0.274 at the line from last session. I knew I had at least 0.150 in it, but wow.

That's one of those fist pumping lap,nice.👍

Check out 3rd thru 7th on the leader board, seperated by a mere .060

 

[Mr P]

Great splits across the board, you guys have been busy will hopefully try this again before the deadline if I get a chance but I've been busy finishing off my last shifts at my crappy job before i go job hunting yet again as I handed my notice in.. then I can have lots more race time again

Good luck to all still running this 👍

 

[GTP_randy]

@Mr P Nah... your good.👍

Why don't you just concentrate on finding that perfect job:tup:

Yeah, it really was. I'd already improved my lap from the prior session by something like 0.007, with splits that were much worse. I started to figure out the keys to final sector consistency last time, but I had a bunch of red clock laps from taking a sloppy line in the second corner.

I managed to clean up that corner and posted a lap that was even better than any of those red clocks. Really not sure how I am going to improve it. But I will still try.

Was hoping for more people, but this is what I wanted from this event. Hopefully the long weekend brings some more people out of the woodwork. You kind of have to try this to know how fun it is, but maybe those C2 tires are scaring people off. I drove it with C3, but felt that the track warranted a bit less grip. I find it the perfect balance, but then again, these are my sorts of combos.
