Spinning Arrows Club. Thursday night casual racing.Open

[griff_theo]

Castrol Tom's Supra for me

 

[tarkus1]

The no sleep & the alcohol, yes. That's the SAC.

40% water & boat cars isn't something I remember the club ever doing though.
I think the 40% water is a me thing & the boat cars is definitely a you thing.

Feel free to bring those kinds of ideas to me prior to Wednesday nights. I'm all for throwing something different into the casual nights. That's how we got Dirty NASCAR.

40-50% wet is good. Comfort Soft tyres (for the tread) up to maybe around 500-550pp, wet tyres for anything higher. That's just an estimate.

Dirty Autumn Ring in production cars sounds good to me as a change from Dirty NASCAR. It seems like a good track for it. At 500pp or so. Maybe as a make vs make or country vs country.
Possibly even without the BS? Not sure on that though.

I'll miss the next few weeks so feel free to save those ideas for when I'm back or try them anyway. Either way.

It's alway Friday over here when we get started.
Same for Dan's timezone too.

Oh bugger, I'm used to calendars that put Sunday on the left. I think the one I was looking at had it on the right, I'm pretty sure it's that same way on my post.

Quick question: Getting some unwanted oversteer on the Diablo. I'm using full downforce.

My diff settings are 15-15-20. What should I tweak?

When is the oversteer coming? lift off, reapply of throttle, very exit of the corner? What to adjust all depends on the answer to that question.

It's more the car is unpredictable. If I had to say, it's a mix of all three. The most common (from my 15 min test) was apex to exit.

 

[Squatch7]

Denso SARD Supra for me.

Fun racing with everyone last night...didn't think i would be able to make it, glad i did, always a good time.

I like that idea. We can always give it a run this week and run it again when you do show up. Who knows, it may be such a blast that we have to do it every week. We shall see...

Did you guys do any Gt500 testing ?

I haven't been able to get the Diablo in good shape yet.

 

[alcheng]

Did you guys do any Gt500 testing ?

yes... and I am stuck at that laptime....

I wish I could shave off another 0.5s

 

[jr4737]

I did try for long time

 

[alcheng]

I did try for long time

Fuji is very tricky, the elevation already make it very difficult to find the right balance, plus the last sector is very tricky to find the right line, especially the last one....

never like this track since the GT5 days... hopefully will able to find the right rhythm ASAP thus get the consistent laptime...

 

[FAN_Lawless]

Did you guys do any Gt500 testing ?

none

 

[Squatch7]

I'm hoping to get some time in today. What kind of lap times are you running Alex?

 

[jr4737]

Around 1:37. 5xx something

 

[alcheng]

the best so far is 1:36.865....

averaging 1:36.9xx~1:37.low

i know i could put in a 1:36.5.xx, just have to put EVERYTHING right.


edit: that's human laptime, for @Squatch7 and @EH_Team, I expect they are within the 1:35~34 range.....

none haven't picked a car yet gonna wait til almost last minute.

I'm not alien enough to get that low..... ran 15ish laps and 1:36.6 is the best i got. With some tweaking i can get it down a bit (maybe), but that was a pretty good lap.

Great, 36.6 is fast, at least to me.

I found my laptimes is different at different sessions, sometimes the car seems more behave and i have more 36, then sometimes lots of 37.low.

still, the last sector, i can either gain or lose 0.5s from it..... duh.......

The last sector and the tight right, left, right....lot's of time can be gained/lost in those two spots.

 

[Rickrmtskingdom]

Is there a list of the cars already taken? Or how do I choose a car?

At the end of the post for the event I have a list, it may not always be up to date, but it is as of this post.
