Yeah run a complete reset (Shut down system, restart game) and see if that does it.

 

[Falango]

I find I have to go back and accept the invite a second time to actually get in the room. Happens every time

I am back for season 2. I'll use the Porsche Cayman( yellow with red stripes). I think it's # 959.

 

[Stanc03]

I pick brno

 

[Alex ONeill]

My track pick is Daytona road course. Rain to clear. 22:00

 

[Alex ONeill]

I pick 'Sonoma Raceway-National' for season 2.
Can I set the weather and race time, too?

Yes you can. In fact everyone that had a track pick can choose the weather and time.

@HazardLvL4 @swjaxon @Xradkins @Stanc03

 

[Falango]

Let's see a night race this season! During practice yesterday, we saw how the time of day has quite a big difference on how much performance the track really has to offer. It'll be great to take advantage of that and create a variety of different scenarios this season, to really test our variety of cars out.

Anybody want to run a practice race @ Zolder tomorrow evening?

 

[Stanc03]

Yes you can. In fact everyone that had a track pick can choose the weather and time.

@HazardLvL4 @swjaxon @Xradkins @Stanc03

Okay how many night races so far because we don't wanna run the full season in night and for my race can it start 6pm then transition into night
And for weather heavy clouds to clear

 

[Xradkins]

Weather will be HOT and dry, just like every time I've been there. The track is an hour from my place (without traffic, ha, ha). The time shift into night is interesting though.

 

[Falango]

@swjaxon

What can we expect for time of day and weather for Zolder? Would like to know before practicing tomorrow.

 

[UMDfutbol11]

Confirmed for Sunday/This season with the #941 Porsche.

 

[UMDfutbol11]

from Doug 914 , car physics and AI,
Great Post, and yes we modeled these modern slicks exactly as they are in real life. Softs are rarely faster than Hards because with the rubber tech nowadays the fastest compound is the one that matches the heat conditions. That means unless it's really cold ambient temps, the Hards are the ones to use.

I'm no engineer by any measure but this seems to go against conventional wisdom for me, and that conventional wisdom tells me that softer rubber warm up faster than harder rubber, wear much quicker than harder rubber, and the end product is a more solid contact patch with the road/track resulting in more overall grip for a shorter duration. I mean, we're at a point now where in Formula 1 teams barely even show up with anything harder than a Medium compound anymore, listed all the way down to Ultrasoft, and I've yet to see anyone in Formula 1 qualify on anything harder than a Supersoft in the past couple of years. My guess is this theory isn't necessarily applicable for sportcar racing/road car applications? Or Pirelli is just incredibly loose ended when they refer to "soft" tires? I won't deny though that the Hards in PCars 2 are much more usable now than in PCars 1, I used them on my one and only race in the Huracan Corsa and set my fastest lap on them, but to claim outright that softs are rarely faster than hards seems a bit, out in left field...

 

[Alex ONeill]

@swjaxon, you can pick the weather and time for Zolder or we can just run it clear ar noon? Either way.

 

[swjaxon]

@swjaxon

Weather for Zolder will be heavy cloud to light cloud,race time will be 17:00 start time,may get a little dark before the end

 

[Alex ONeill]

Let me know what the average lap time is around Zolder so I can post the # of laps we will be running.

Thanks guys!

 

[Falango]

Practice room going up for Zolder! Message me on PSN (Falango) for an invite.

30 min practice
15 min qually
45 min race

Let me know what the average lap time is around Zolder so I can post the # of laps we will be running.

Thanks guys!

I'll post some race lap times up after the session.

Also, confirming my car pick as the #940 Porsche Cayman GT4.

 

[Xradkins]

Yes you can. In fact everyone that had a track pick can choose the weather and time.

@HazardLvL4 @swjaxon @Xradkins @Stanc03

I want 'clear' weather, and start time at 1700 hrs. Check it out. Awesome lighting.

 

[Xradkins]

@Alex ONeill , I updated the number in my post. I am 959. Thanks.

 

[Falango]

@Alex ONeill

Avg race lap time for leaders should be around 1:40-1:41. Tires and fuel load will definitely make this fluctuate.

I did a 27 lap race, and with a few mistakes, finished it in just under 47 min.

 

[Alex ONeill]

Sunday's race will be 25 laps. Thank you Falango for the lap times!
