Hi Eran ,
is there any chance to join the race this evening ? i´d like to drive with people who take it serious and race fair . I´m driving with clutch and H-pattern shifter so i would be not that fast ;-) also i´m not much used to ABS0 but i think i can handle it .

Awesome, you're welcome Matthias! Add me on PSN: eran0004.

About the no ABS: It's important to set the brake balance properly. If you have too much brake force in the rear, they will lock and you'll spin around. I use a brake balance of 3 front and 1 rear, that may be a good setting to start from, and then adjust as you see fit.

 

[KingKlingeling]

Great , i'm using abs0 sometimes but Not The whole Time , so i know about brake bias ! Are there Information bout the Track ?
You Said max power is 226 BHP my calculator gave me 168,53 kW , i round it Up on 169 kW if its okay ?

I'm sorry, I think I'll have to retire from the season. I can almost guarantee I will be back when I get some time.

 

[KingSakery]

I´m racing today too (really looking forward to it 👍).

@KingKlingeling: Set your system language to English and you don´t have the convert problems (kW to bhp) because you have the bhp as your power-unit (I did that )

 

[KingKlingeling]

@kingsakery : thanks maid , dont realized that option before !

Am i right when think that all of you use a wheel ?! Feels bit funny when think about guys chilling on the Couch with a ds3 while im sitting in a sim rig with seatbelt on :-)

Well, I'm using a wheel and I'm driving in cockpit view, if that makes you feel better

I'm sorry, I think I'll have to retire from the season. I can almost guarantee I will be back when I get some time.

Alright, welcome back when you have the time!

Well, it's probably going to be Nordschleife again. And if we've got the time a few laps around Spa. If you're interested in running another track, let me know and we can probably squeeze it in somewhere

 

[Raggadish]

I enjoyed yesterdays racing, going bumper to bumper is always fun. No crashes either for the first race even though it was close racing.

Yep! The biggest mistake was probably my "brake failure" in the start of the first heat

 

[KingKlingeling]

I Never laughed more ! The neighbours knocked on the Wall , asking if everthings alright 😂

 

[Raggadish]

Well shoot, I forgot about todays racing if there were any. Was it good?

 

[KingKlingeling]

If eran's always the Host , there was no race yesterday . I used the Time for shuffle races but was Not that Fun .

Hmm glad I didn't miss anything. And I just can't get over your name, it sounds so funny.

 

[eran0004]

Yeah, no race last Saturday. I was the only one in the lobby
Anyone up for some racing this Saturday?

Btw, I've started to develop my own driving game. So far it has weird physics (because any attempts to work with the physics engine ends up with the car being catapulted into outer space), night driving (because too lazy for textures) and a siren (because awesome!). I'm sure this is how Kazunori Yamauchi started long time ago

 

[Superstylin]

I can't begin to imagine what's involved in that eran. As we say around these parts Fair Play Min

Sorry I've missed a few. I'm only free to race when my kids mother takes my boys for the weekend (so not very often better not get into that) anyway I'm 100% in for tomorrow.

The scores from yesterday:

bigtiff82 / 18 points
eran0004 / 18 points

Next week there will be no event, because I'll be out of town. So next race should be on Star Wars day (May the Fourth be with you). To celebrate this we'll engage the warp speed button and raise the BHP limit by 50 to 276 BHP.
