THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[skeagracing]

I tried few laps with Vette and 1 race with Lancia.. Forgot to take pictures but times sucked anyway.. I'll do all races on Sunday. Vette was 59,2 but it wasn't a great lap so I guess it can beat 58,7...
Also don't know if I'm that rusty or oil change has big impact.. with Delta I did 4.54...Thougt under 50 will be possible.. Will see that soon
Have a good day/night guys

ps do you remember your 1st sector time on Track day? I did 15.9 on this lap but I think I messed other part of the track..

Are you running the Ford GT 5 at the school??

 

[smoothbore12]

To much hours to work but i gave my self a 55 minutes stint at the track day.
And since i suck with the Japanese model i took the german.
I use and CM tyres on the back but still was faster on CS all the way.

Triple Crown III
26:42.131
Now 618 km with this, including two victories (the first one was quicker) and some free run laps, because I need that empty track. I don't think there's enough time to try one stop races - I need to distance myself from Sarthe you know.
I didn't save a replay, it was that bad. But my recorded victory in 2014 was with a TS020 (IM/RS).

Oh, the console loaded a full grid race without any undue delay today, so that's well. It's unusual by now.

I think its its impossible to run on one pit stop and is not about tyres ...... You will run out of fuels.
I don't think that you can save fuel for 4 laps while 3 almost empty the fuel tank.

Another thing that notice is that at your run you give lap and at the tenth AI while Boogeyman with such a blistering pace lap only the eleventh !!!.
I pit at 2 and 4 lap while other scenarios are 2-5 ...3 -5 ...3-6 but i don't know what is better and if there is any gain at a specific one.

There is no such thing as a one stop race. I did 2 and 5.

 

[Thematic]

Oh kay. I assumed adding a turbo kit draws a lot more fuel, and I estimate I used under 230 l with "high rpm". But sure, can't stop for fuel two minutes into lap four.

I settled on 3 & 5 so both stops might be quick... tyres take a while, but if you take a lot of fuel at once you are going to sit there only fueling. I didn't do the balancing because the requester went away from my driving.

 

[RMan72]

For my run I pitted at the end of lap 3 and came back in at the end of 4. Refuelling for under 45l takes the same time as changing tyres so you save time in the pits. Although it was touch and go on making the finish line on the last lap

I did 2 and 5 Hugh and no touch and go at the end. I am much looking forward to your Ford GT 5 race at SkeagRacingSchool

That works!! Would like to see you with the Ford GT 5 at the SkeagRacingSchool.

Since my last ride was with costly errors i took the R18 for another ride and did only a couple of mistakes but at least i was facing the right direction .
Chic update

After first pit stop i was careful enough especially at the very first morning lap and the last one.
Pit at 2-4.

[skeagracing]

SkeagRacingSchool with the Ford GT 5. One amazing race. And the winners are in P1 @RMan72 in P2 @smoothbore12 and in P3 @Racin510s. Thank you duddes for you comments about the car and track combo. You all said the harder the race the more I like it. Next stop will be International B: Historic Car Race 1; Race Car 1969 Camaro Race Car at Cote d' Azur Monaco. You got your hard "RACE".

 

[smoothbore12]

Here is my GT school run where except GT5 you can see me and my closet lines cause was filmed in daylight and sunny day .


Well done to all ,Sniper touch a new world record in Goodwood ,@Failmaster21 glad to see you participating .
The Saint took the holy Crown while Boogeyman remind us again why you never provoke .... The Boogeyman.
Surprised why nobody use CM tyres on the back of Lancia to " cut " understeer effect.
Same surprise felt driving the S2000 everybody was way faster than me .
Have a good week guys ,for me it will be difficult since i have to leave for few days ( perhaps Thursday) and is gonna be " heavy " one.

Here was my entry for Noel's school, I made life difficult by leaving the engine stock apart from an oil change. AI were really quick on the straights but never used the down force to good effect in the corners. Another tough but fun challenge set by Noel

Well done to all who took up the challenge

 

[bjl23]

Sorry for the delay guys, crazy day.

Drivers, start your engines!

Welcome to NASCAR, the series that shows you that oval racing is a lot more than simply turning left for three hours.

While these cars are quite fast, they're also very heavy, so you need to be mindful of exactly how to take each corner. If you go even 1 km/h too fast, there's a wall waiting for you.

The key to success here is to make the most out of laps 1 and 2 - That's all the slipstream you're going to get this race, as the AI is very slow. I used an oil change, but even the Div 1 guys who can't use it should be in first place before the end of Lap 2.

You don't need to brake for turns 1 and 2, you can just lift off there - But be careful not to get back on the power too early or the car's massive weight will cause you to understeer into a wall. But turns 3 and 4 are a lot tighter since this is an egg-shaped oval, so you'll need to brake there. On Lap 1 you can probably get away with staying in fourth gear, but once you're out of the slipstream, downshifting to third will give you better acceleration on the front straight.

There's a big problem with this race, though, and that's the fact that GT6 lacks one of the most important parts of NASCAR: The spotter. I found myself getting spun by AI cars I couldn't see quite a lot in this race. You really have to be careful and keep an eye around you, or the lack of a spotter is really going to come back and bite you.

I did quite a few runs here, though most of them ended in the wall after an AI car spun me out, or after I accelerated too early out of turn 2. Only four made it to the checkered flag, with the best of them being a 3:09.062.

car is good on this hole, because it's pedal to the metal all the way on this course, but just a ride of the brake going into the down hill left.

[Thematic]

I took a car with the + logo and number #24 from the stockyard and into the garage. That can only mean...
60./No Tune
3:09.057
After a short session last night, I managed to stay away from the inside (stay away!) and all the trunks today in what was the third attempt this year at least, with the fourth race only being 437 ms quicker. So I think I'll move on to other things. It depends on the car but in this case, from memory, this merry-go-round is slightly better than Indy or the tri-oval. Not too much braking or too high speed.

edit: Since I did eventually notice it myself, I have to say that CozmicDragon had a similar time here.

 

[RMan72]

Z28 at Monaco anyone?

Flat out into the swimming pool section, nothing better than getting it right
