PURE | Mazdaspeed RX-7 Challenge | Series Champion: NEPALII

[Müle]

Overtime sucks and I just got home.

Gonna go with 25 laps for tomorrow.

 

[MONSTAR-1]

I'll try to make this practice race. 8am race start for me.
What's the PP of the cars after run in?
What time should I be in the room?

I'm assuming we qualify on RM?

 

[carracerptp]

Thought I would post this up. Got a tune from here. Works wonders for me, some of you may like it too, most probably will not.

Very solid for me. It's not a rocket ship, but with a slow and smooth mentality it's good on tires. In the long run, I think it's perfect.

Ride Height = 2 / 1
Spring Rate = 15 / 15.4
Extension = 7 / 6
Compression = 7 / 7
Roll Bar = 3 / 3
Camber = 2.3 / 1.1
Toe = -1.0 / 0.0

LSD = 16 / 32 / 12

Downforce = 35 / 53

This was actually to stable for me
Great set-up though, didn't seem to rip the tires up so quickly even with my driving.

 

[w-g-e]

I opened a room under the name 'RX7 TC only'. I'll let other random guys join but only if they drive cleanly and use the correct car. I just want to have some short practise races.

Room number: 1472 - 6118 - 4259 - 7712 - 1656 Closed

EDIT: Sorry toyotsupra, I saw you joined but I was having some dinner.

Its ok mate 👍

 

[w-g-e]

Its ok mate 👍

I'm still in the room..

My RM stint with 483 BHP:
Lap 1: 46.XXX
Lap 2: 46.XXX
Lap 3: 46.XXX
Lap 4: 46.XXX
Lap 5: 47.XXX
Lap 6: 47.XXX
Lap 7: 48.XXX
Lap 8: 48.XXX

On lap 9 I felt a bit too much loss of grip so I think 8 laps is maximum for me.

I can't understand your downforce settings either Jason...
Used some parts of the tune you found though.👍

 

[toyotsupra]

I should be on GT5 soon mate just looking on internet 👍

I'm just using the tune as-is, would rather not mess with it.

I like its stability, especially at the hairpin. Unfortunately, tire wear seems to be the same and I have to turn the wheel a lot more than I want to. I've only tested on the hards, though.

Oh, and what's the brake setting for this?

 

[CodeRedR51]

My own setting on the brakes. I'll have to let you know later.

Driving a car involves turning the wheel man!

 

[CSLACR]

My timing is looking impeccably terrible.
If we don't start racing until 4:15 I should be able to make it and just start from the back, if that's ok...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Alright, car is broken in and ready to go.

 

[Müle]

That should be fine, Dom. I have a feeling we'll have some other late comers as well.

 

[CSLACR]

Got some laps (6) set this up:
+10/+10
12.8/12.8
7/7
7/7
5/5
2.0/1.0
0.00/0.00

LSD: 8/12/5

Down force: 35/55

While I would normally never go with lower down force if I can't add power to replace it, on this track, you can't set the suspension loose enough because of the hairpin, where the banking likes to kill you.
So lower down force it is!

 

[CodeRedR51]

I just had my own little practice race in my lounge a little bit ago. Was testing out my pit strategy which won't quite work the way I had hoped. Hmmm.

 

[CSLACR]

A 1 stop would be hard if not impossible, yes.

 

[Wardez]

I'm setting out to prove a theory in strategy tomorrow. Look out!

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm setting out to prove a theory in strategy tomorrow. Look out!

Wardez thinks not.

In all seriousness, it IS possible, but you would lose so much time taking care of the tires, that 2-stoppers would catch up to you. What I found quite weird, is that my RH tires only lasted 1-2 laps longer than my RM's.

 

[CSLACR]

You're sliding more on RH, would be my guess.

Since tuning is "optional", is the room going to be set to 607PP?
I assume we're going 607PP and not allowed to install any power adders, yes?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I would hope not. Car has enough power.

 

[w-g-e]

Will there be 2 rooms Mule?
I would hate to be too late to join because the room is full...

 

[Jay_B_II]

Any way today's start can be pushed back a little? I gotta catch the Falcons/Giants game and would hate to have to miss the end.

 

[cicua]

We have to use both RM and RH during the race right?

 

[carracerptp]

I most likely won't make the race today (NASCAR).
If it was pushed back, there is a slim change of me making it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Both have to be used at least once, according to the OP.

 

[toyotsupra]

Better not be a late start time tonight as I I'm racing in other series

 

[freshseth83]

So it starts at 4pm correct? Eastern? I think I'll be there. I'll make sure I get on early to make it to the first room. Mule if you're online then, send a message to all your friends who're involved to let them know when you have a room up. Till then, when I get online I'll set up a room and anyone in this series is welcome to add me if not already added and join my practice lounge. We can do some practice races.

It'll likely start around 4:15/4:30 anyway.

Yes. At least one stint

 

[Müle]

Double post, but oh well.

Going to open a room now, to make sure we get lag sorted out. It will be limited to 14 people, to decrease our chances of a laggy room. If we get more than 14, we will open a 2nd room.


1472-6118-3701-4255-7046

 

[Müle]

Wardez or Dr_watson, can you host room 2 pleas

EDIT: actually, hold on. Only 11 in right now. Doesn't seem like we'll have enough to make room 2 work.
