Hancoc's room is still open, why another?

 

[OwensRacing]

What room to join hmm. LoL

I went with more bars.

Found some time this evening to do some tire temp bug tests.
It seems like the bug is present as soon as we change the weather, changeability, surface weather etc..
But, it did'nt seem to affect my lap times.
The color on the tire indicator was lightish blue, but the grip felt like normal.
Did a best of 3:52.5XX..

 

[CSLACR]

Because those lines are clearly only for road use and it makes no sense to abide by them under any circumstance. It's just too weird being able to ride the curb but still have to worry about a line that's separated a full meter.

Isn't the white line at the end of the Mulsanne a road marking as well?

Here's my question, it seems it hasn't been asked yet: Where is allowed track in real life here?
To be more exact: Where do the race cars drive without getting penalized in real races at this track we're questioning boundaries on?

Thanks. I used a stable setup from your thread and it worked great at Laguna. Last time I raced a long one a La Sarthe (28 laps) the rear tires wore pretty quick. Guess that's why you lowered rear shocks some. What about spring? Should the rear get softened to help avoid bouncing?

Well you don't want to just lower the rear spring, that'll make the car looser.
I haven't fully setup my HSV yet, but something in these regions:
ride heights around 0
spring rates around 14
extensions around 7
compressions around 3
arbs either 2 or 3

 

[Denilson]

It's not like you'll be penalized for going outside if there's a need for space if you're not entering alone.
If you're alone in tve race, and during quali, that line should be respected imo.
If you got your right pair of wheels on the line, you're almost using the tarmac on the outside to max.. Almost..

 

[cicua]

Basse did a 53.1. So far a reasonable lap for me is a 55, maybe I can hit a high 54. Not looking good

Maybe there is the reason why I am no fan of Sarthe

Couple feet, but the point isn't really to "use" the extra tarmac, the point is whether we're talking about eliminating a section of real world track that is used or not.
Maybe it's not, I don't know.

Dont like it either

 

[Denilson]

Remember that you'll only get one lap to set your Q time at LaSarthe.
I found that in order to ensure I got a clean lap in, I almost ran 2 seconds off my PB.
But a realistic time during Q would probably be a low 53 for me..

 

[CSLACR]

Yeah, we'll definitely have some D1 drivers knocked to D2 for bad Q's this week, I just hope I'm not one of them.

 

[Denilson]

I was litteraly shaking during my lap.
Tryed really hard not to push it that inch too much.

A 3:54.209 is'nt that good, but concidering the new track bounderies, slower cars (a tad), post 2,08, and no NSX's or YMS SUPRA's present, it might be just good enough for D1..
Note: We ran 3:51's in the NSX's during JGTS 1.. Think 3:52-53 was a good time in the GT-R's.
But that was in the race, not for Q.
The one-shot-one-lap only Q tend to slow us down a tad..

 

[CSLACR]

I got mid 52's in the SC430, but that was before 2.08 (better cornering, but slower speeds now) and with an oil change, and 30 KG's.
It's really hard to say how 2.08 has affected it though, I think overall most tracks will be a bit quicker like Laguna, but a fast enough track should be slower.

 

[Denilson]

Yeah.. I'm going to try the JGTS 1 NSX this week if I find some time.
Should be interesting.
I sure hope it's slower post 2,08..

The marker at the end of the Mulsanne straight is definitely for the actual, temporary, course turn. Biggest thing pointing to this is the fact that the turn is at a roundabout in real life when it's not being used as a race track.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Can't race again guys.. Working this Sunday too .

 

[Denilson]

Sorry to hear that Paul.. And not a word from Jordan either.. Looks like I'm alone..

Steward: outlaw4rc & OwensRacing
Driver: Litchi
Times: 3:55.801 CLEAN


I did a mock run, getting a 3:54.8xx after getting a 53.572 earlier today. Admittedly, the setup I was had way too much understeer, but I'm guessing anything below a 54 flat while keeping it clean would've been a tall order. I wouldn't be surprised if the cutoff for D1 is about 3-5 seconds off the pole, which may end up being around 55-56, depending on how many flub their laps.

this help?




btw, Eddie; I see what you mean about the chicane lines. I still hate driving on the red shoulder.

Time added. 👍

Yeah, true Rich..
It's better to play it safe.. So easy to go wide by an inch or two at many places.

 

[twistedfirework]

Yeah, GTP is back.
I wont be able to race this weekend. I have family visiting. See you all at monza.
Enjoy your race 👍

Here's the Sarthe lap guide video + bonus commentary by ME!. It shows a demonstration lap that's completely clean:

 

[Paginas1]

Right I've been away from forum for a bit. Time for Dans lazy question....

1. Are we doing the norm qualifying procedure - from sector 2?
2. Is Dennis a girl? (Because he acts and looks like one LOL)

 

[Denilson]

Haha!
1. No, one warm up lap, and one whole flyer. Only one shot though (1lap).
2. Only girls go home at 11.30 PM when out drinking beer (or did you drink those girly pink drinks?).. But yeah, try to make it in to D1 for once and I'll show you..

Haha good come back I'll give you that!

I don't need to try to get in D1 I just prefer racing "real men" in d2 lol. But yes I will try my best to get in d1 this week.

Dirty lap, for changing lanes/line too much.
