Time Trial Discussion

Silly question on the Suzuka TT: How do you maintain max charge in the KERS? I am usually a little above 1/2 charge at the start/finish line when the time starts, and most of the top drivers are over 3/4 charge. And I have less than half coming out of the hairpin after the bridge, which kills my S3 time.

Most drivers carry more speed on their second lap coming out of the hairpin after the bridge in this a TT, rather than their start lap I think.

How annoying is the Lexus event? I watched the #1 replay on the leaderboard and noticed that the kers battery is flat at the end of the lap. So technically you'd have to pause and retry after every lap and then deal with cold tyres again. Of course you could spend a lap just recharging the battery but I feel like that on its own would throw me off really quickly.

Here's my tune for F1. Best time with it 1:19.680.

Can you justify that there is such a thing as "cold tyres" in this event? I had to test this and didn't feel any difference after having a warm up lap before the fast lap.

Sooo f1. And that nasty last chicane.

Heres my best lap and tune. I got the base tune from some japanese player ( sorry dont remember name)when the tt was in suzuka. Did some tweaks to it tho. But cant take all the credit from it



Happy hunting

What is your configuration for the lexus?

The videos of the top 10 all look to be 1st lap,

I just assumed that you'd start with cold tyres, but then I guess there's no point simulating that if there's no tyrewear to begin with.

The new F1 TT would be great except being at Barcelona, of course it becomes a lottery of whether you survive jumping the final chicane Even at max ride height and softest suspension it's still 50:50 whether I survive or not. Probably not gonna spend too much time on this.

Hold the brake when you start the lap until you come out of the chicane, this will prevent the battery depleting until the last moment.
Move brake balance to the rear.
Brake softer, earlier and trail brake longer into the corners to maximise the braking time.

Those are the main points. In the FIA thread some people have reported there is a new trick now of pressing the brakes lightly coming out of corners to get even more energy, but I can't figure out how it works.

A lot of people say there's no tyre temps if there's no tyre wear, but I'm not convinced personally. In the Lewis Hamilton challenges if I turn around and do a few burnouts/donuts I have a much better grip in the first turn than if I go directly. Obviously you are not sitting on the grid for 2 minutes like the FIA races so the "coldness" is not that severe, but it's still there.

The Lexus hybrid seems like it's powered by 2xAA batteries Barely any extra acceleration and gone just after a lap.

This seems to stay mystery for ever

Mega lap my friend

Thanks Miguel
Small mistake on the lap missed one apex and that chicane is always a gamble. But quite happy with that 👍

For my lexus tune, I dropped front springrate to 2.60. Like in prianos tune. It will give better grip to front

Your welcome! This was my current setup for lexus. Kuorianen has some special setup that he’s not willing to share
Not sure why

Fantastic time congrats. A good setting help for sure, but some people are just very fast . The most important at my level is be comfortable with my car. I'm not to able to drive this F1 100% , my own tune allow me to reach my limit.
Have a good night.

I can post it tomorrow before the evening (finnish time) so there's enough time to test it before the event ends. It also looks like xtrax has even better setup now

@xtrax ..Suoer lap my friend

Thanks, my friend, I'm seeing it too

 

[xtrax]

Here my setup, a mix of @sdi_03 setup, @praiano63 setup and mine. Thanks guys for sharing

With @praiano63 LSD and @sdi_03 gear box. Enjoy

Here's my tune for Alsace.

@xtrax ...BRAVO MEGA LAP .2 .

I think it's possible to improve. but i found the correct setup only yesterday so not have enough time.
The key of the setup spring rate configuration 2,60 3.5 in @praiano63 setup

Well done, that's P2! I have noticed that you have recently joined to some racing team (T-GTCQ), maybe. Can you tell something about that? I'm just curious about what it means to be part of some team.

 

[sdi_03]

Thanks guys for the tune shares
Didnt have the energy to test these, so no updates for times for me.
New TT is gr4 at Notrhern isle speedway, so oval it is

 

[koshmare]

Got in top 100! Setup by @xtrax and @sdi_03

World records

 

[sdi_03]

”Round and a round the Viper goes, where is she going, nobody knows”

feel little dizzy after oval. Optimum is 15.409 so stil something to gain.

Thanks! Pretty sweet

Even steven with p2 atm. So lets see how long I can keep p1

 

[Baka_Marimo]

I wonder how many players are desperately trying to find that Supra right now It was handed out as a reward for taking part in an online survey and there's no way to obtain it anymore...
