STORAGETRUNKS GT3 SERIES - SLS AMG - 90 Minute Race Series- Monday Nights 19:00 UK- FREE SPOTSFinished

[Jfrod]

what times are you guys setting , i'm able to run low 19's consistently ...

Im in low 1.20´s with 500 DF

Edit, here is a short guide:
Max ride height: more grip and traction, but slow top speed and acceleration.
Min ride height: less grip, but better top speed and acceleration.
This means that max front and min rear gives more rotation.

Max spring rate: less grip, but reacts to steering input faster, thus giving you more turn in and control.
Min spring rate: more grip, but reacts to steering input slower, thus giving you less turn in and control.
This means that min front and max rear gives more rotation.

dampers react the same way as springrate, but its much better to keep dampers at 1 and adjust springrate instead. as long as you dont go to extreme values, dont bother with the game's instructions that dampers should be adjusted accordingly to springrate. (it is very true in real life, but in GT6 its not needed).

Max ARB gives more grip.
Min ARB gives less grip.
ARB is interesting though, because if lowering a ARB, the grip increases on that axle, but if you lower both axles, the total grip is lower, not higher...

Camber delays the grip, just as in real life, but in contrast to real life, it does not get better when under load.
So 0/0 is pretty much always prefered, only exception is heavily understeering cars, then you can use rear camber to make the rear step out to get it to slide a little, but its a last resort, if everything else fails.

Toe is great for adjusting car behavior.
negative front toe increases rotation, but can make the car behave wierd on turn in
positive front toe reduces rotation, but makes it smoother on entry.

negative rear toe increases rotation (heavily), a huge benefit on entry and mid turn, but it can kill traction out of corners. all FWD cars will benefit from this as they dont need rear traction. 4WD will also benefit from this because of their great traction capabilities. The Chapparall 2J is another car that needs huge ammount of negative rear toe, due to its fan system giving it traction.
positive rear toe kills rotation, but helps with stability

Short rear toe guide:
FWD: -1.00
4WD -1.00 - -0.60
Stable RWD cars: -0.60 - 0.00
unstable RWD cars 0.00 - +0.30

Thanks for sharing this valuable information. 👍


Edit: Still dont know what happened yesterday with my car in the mini race

 

[alainsenna]

down from 1.23's to 1,20.s?21s, yea, 2 secs a lap off, hopefully more group5 racers on tomorrow.

 

[alainsenna]

AJ do you play with a wheel or joy pad ?

i guess it was just ordinary game error/glitch (naa maybe we should take these rare issues as a substitute /simulation adds/ of random troubles that may happen in real race, tyre explosion etc.. also caused when someone, who are you cannot see in race on track, does crash into your car. but i am sure, it wasn't actual right there.

Told you. Going fast is easy when you know what you are doing.

AJ do you play with a wheel or joy pad ?

1: double post...
2: who the F is AJ?

 

[PetrH]

Ha ha, maybe you Ælias. Our "old" "joy-paddy" master. beside: is it really more difficult to do drifts events with a st.wheel?? how to come?

 

[Stephen Vann]

Wow, i have to say the help that is passed around from the top drivers is a pretty special thing.

It warms my heart to see the open and freely given advice from ace drivers to their slower competitors.

Pretty special I think.

I'm "IN" for Monday's race. I thought I posted it earlier, but I didn't

THIS SHOULD PUT ALL DRIVERS IN A WINNING POSITION -
IF YOU PRACTICE LIKE PEE DID LAST WEEK -

ALSO THE CHANGE TO RH TYRES ONLY - IT IS THE SPEC USED IN THE GTPSS
AND SO OUR SERIES DRIVERS GET USED TO THEM IF CALLED UPON TO JOIN THE TEAM
GTPSS PEC AND COULD BE ONTO OUR GTPSS RACES IF REQUIRED

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS SEEING IN THE DARK -
ONCE IN THE CAR PRESS THE QUICK OPTIONS BUTTON
AND SCROLL DOWN TO Exposure ( Brightness ) Default is +0
but raising it to +7 helps visability

DONT FORGET RH TYRES CAN TAKE 3 LAPS TO REACH GOOD GRIP

Until now seems that we haven't group 2 drivers for today.
Just an opinion about 2 things:

- Its a privilege to be in the same group with Star or even Jon, but Star is much faster than me, thats a fact.

- I think that the gaps are a bit high, anyway thats a test, and I hope that we all enjoy the race

Yes Agreed,

i will see if Star want to go in group 1 or group 2 for this test.

Its up to him, and i agree his pace is amazing.

 

[J_Starscream]

I kept up with Aug last night but that feels like false hope lol, I feel like I'd like to run in Group 2 for the test tonight.

 

[Stephen Vann]

Yes thats cool, i agree Star.

 

[PetrH]

@Stephen Vann and all others, what about this?💡 --> to make race close and interesting, because i am convinced, when we catch someone it even doesn't mean we may easy overtake him, especially at this "full blind" narrow tech course.
GAPs: GREEN -> 30s -> 60s -> 120s -> 150s ???
and a rule that allow everybody to fight for his position (mean none "wide gentlemen" pace) also if being lapped, of course except moments which are caused due mistake by nervosity... shall we opinions, votes? however gluck ahead (race pace, DCless etc) and a proper JOY of 'RUSH' 👍

Unless you're lapped, you're always allowed to defend your position, but never in a dirty manner.

Also, and this is for both you and @Stephen Vann : I believe you should be in group 4, not 5. (120 sec head start instead of 200)



edit, @Stephen Vann : I just realized you messed up the starting times!
This is what you said to me:
Group 1: +0 sec
Group 2: +30 sec
Group 3: +80 sec
Group 4: +120 sec
Group 5: +200 sec

that would give the following starting times:
group 5: green light
group 4: after 1:20 seconds total time
group 3: after 2:00 seconds total time
group 2: after 2:50 seconds total time
group 1: after 3:20 seconds total time

The times you posted would leave a very small gap between group 4 and 5 (just 30 sec), and a HUGE difference between group 1 and 2 (a full lap!) that's not what you where after, as you said group 5 need extra time because they make mistakes.

Star its up to you mate,
we have you in group 2, but if you felt fast enough you could go to 1 if you wished, however you have sken to battle now in grop 2 that may slow you down a bit, but we only try to be fair.

new room

 

[J_Starscream]

I'm sorry I had to suddenly dash, I really need to get my bank sorted and I don't want to hold up the race because this will take ages. 👍
