:'(.... I thought we were friends

 

[FlyingFox]

Good luck Edit.

Furi I may miss this week due to F1 but will definitely be here for the Le Mans weekend. See if I can give the C1 drivers a run for your money down the Mulsanne straight

That GT40 will fly!!!

 

[chrisjohnson93]

the corvette will also fly for around 2/3 of the lap

 

[Furinkazen]

But in the rain for Spa..

 

[Spurgy 777]

Any chance we could start later so we can all watch the f1?

No spurgey. I too will have to give up my spot due to work/fifa/euro2012/hatetheford/cannotracewithspu
rgeyashissweatnearlymakesmedrown/busycalender. Thanks for the racing guys (apart from spurgey) Good luck to you all (apart from spurgey).

Why?

 

[Spurgy 777]

Actually the f1 starts later than I thought, will probably finish at 8.45

 

[Furinkazen]

Argh. Well tonights its room opens 6.30ish, race start 7.45pm.

 

[Furinkazen]

Looks like we may be a few down tonight, due to F1 and Euro football. We are still going ahead as usual, but probably a grid of around 8-12 I expect.

Same here. Next week though will be Le Mans and double points, so that will be crucial...

 

[rustyMercedes]

I'm going to miss this race due to F1 and this being 1 of 2 races (maybe 3 if US GP happens) that I can actually watch during the day and not have to wake up at 6:00am (Euro races) or stay up until 2:00 am (Asian races).

 

[Furinkazen]

Looks like whoever turns up tonight could gain some major points...

 

[Carbonox]

I could probably do it, but I'm not too keen on long races with a low amount of entries.

And I just got signed off PSN again.

Race 3 – Spa-Francorchamps Sportscar Grand Prix @ Spa-Francorchamps
36 Laps / 90 minutes (approx) / 27 laps to be classified.

Eau Rouge, Blanchimont, La Source, Pouhon, Radillion, Les Combes... some of the most terrifying corners in racing all on this high speed Belgian circuit. A challenge made even more daunting by the unique micro-climate of the Spa region.

how did spurgey get 12 points then 13 if he won both? should he not have two 13's? how do C1 points work?

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Is it me or is that Ford GT MKIV jacked up?

 

[Furinkazen]

+1 for fastest lap. Same reason you have 7 instead of 6 for Daytona. You in tonight gokartman?

@Marunda high ride height, always run that settings, helps the handling a lot for me.

 

[DaxCobra]

Is it me or is that Ford GT MKIV jacked up?

probably the hills effect, and probably raised because a higher ride height in GT5 helps turn in because silly physics.

There's a point for fastest lap, which you got at Daytona. Spurgy got it at Monza. If a result is in bold, that person got the fastest lap.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

But it's jacked up at the back too, higher gives better lateral grip lower gives better longitudinal grip, so surely that just severely affects cornering grip?

I can understand a high front and low back but not high both.

No, in fact lower the rear I find it more tail happy. Trust me Marunda, this same set ups been used for 2200 miles with little issues...

High front and low rear = oversteer in game.

Stupid, but true.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Yes but high front and low rear= greater turn in and the oversteer can be cured with springrates and gearing etc.

 

[gokartman78]

thankyou for pointing the fastest lap thing out, i missed it completely . in real life you put the ride height up to get more grip and you lower the ride height to increase stability..

 

[Furinkazen]

Yes but high front and low rear= greater turn in and the oversteer can be cured with springrates and gearing etc.

With the settings I run the car is geared to steady and consistent, and able to go well for long stints. Spa testing i'm only 1.5 seconds off my fastest lap of 2:11.7 in WSM1 which was achieved with RS tyres.

 

[gokartman78]

is it a standing start tonight?
