Looks like you guys already got that corner ironed out but I will say that all four tires on the inside will be much slower anyhow. It isn't like sand, but it will slow you down if you get all of them on the curb.

 

As for the outside, It's actually a great place to AVOID accidents. If guys start dogpiling in front of you in that corner can you take the outside area to avoid the accident? What if your position advances in doing so (which it would if you were avoiding an accident)?

 

 

As for my comments about the Neon, I was going on memory, and my TQ numbers I listed were higher than reality. REGARDLESS I wasn't calling out ANYONE, I didn't watch any replay or anything else. I simply stated the Neon was quite a bit faster.

I picked the Mercedes because I like the car, it has tons of downforce, and handles well. I figured with handicaps, things would even out.

If you are avoiding an incident and you go wide it won't be classed as a racing line.

Im always this up on racings lines knight so I don't understand your comment. :-)

Not sure if I'll be able to run on Sunday due to ongoing problems with my wheel. If I get it sorted out in time then I'll be there!

Me too! I think the problem is something to do with my mic going thru the Fanatec wheel. I bought a wireless xBox headset today, but I need to try and test it online to see if it cures the problem before Sunday.

Mapo that was the only way I could stop my wheel cutting out, using the Xbox wireless bluetooth earpiece.

Havent had a problem since. Before that it would randomly disconnect.

I guessed that from other posts and did a power of testing last night and it's certainly the mic going through the GT2 circuitry that causing it!

I had raised a support ticket with Fanatec (my wheel is 2 years old in 3 weeks) and Armin e-mailed me this afternoon to say he's swapping my wheel out for a new one!! Result!!

I also just ordered a Tritton Warhead headset that should come tomorrow. 4

Looks like I should make the race on Sunday after all... I'll probably still be at the back though! blush

I don't know if you will be at the back as the tune I sent you I was running 1.54.1xx in it on Hockenhiem. I think I will be at the back with my horsepower reduction of 15%. frown

I'm going to give the tune a blast tonight Kraigger, many, many thanks for sending it over!

 

I played with Church's tune last night and managed to get a 1:53.996 out of it but running consistant I'm about 1:54.4'ish - I'm sure some of the guys will be setting low 1:53's or faster!

Thanks for the tune Kraigger, all I adjusted was the brake balance/force and I just set a 1:53.198 clean lap 4

Hey Church,  As it looks like the series is full, is there a way to spectate the events?  I would love to see how you guys get on with it?  Thanks

If you can do the qualification as stated in the first post I will know what room you need to be in.

If there is room on race night you can race if you want :-)

Since there are no qualifying rounds running anymore and I dont have a HDD to send you a video, the best I can do is tell you a ran 1:59.220 on one of kraigger's setup yesterday.  Im still looking to find a car that Im happy with but it wont be that much faster for now.  How that helps.

 

Edit - Sorry, that was around Hockenheimring.  I'll get over to silversttone later today and get a time in

Thanks

thise tunes are for Silverstone. I have only retuned the cars people have asked me for for Hockenhiem and have gifted them to them. If you want a tune for Hockenhiem just let me know and if I have the time I will tune it for you.

I guess I will be at the back because I don't think my VW is that quick.

I guess she just got hit by a bus because I can not get below a 1.55.2xx. This is going to be a long race with a 15% reduction. Even without the HP reduction I am only in the 1.53.xxx and I know some guys are running in the 1.52.xxx on Hockenhiem.

One of the hardest points I find on that circuit is the hairpin, I invariably overshoot or overbrake, but get it right and its worth a second.

That might explain it.  I plan to use my 1990 Mecedes-Benz 190E 2.5 Evo II for the events.  If you have the time, that would be great.   Thanks

I can tune it this afternoon and will message you when I am done. That car is not the quickest but very smooth.

For some reason it does not look like I can send a friend request to him as his list is full.

kraigger75 - let me know if there is another way into the room.  As for the tune, I'm fine with the silverstone tune as I just need to tweek the gearing ratio a bit.  If you could gift it to me that would be great.  I can then adjust the drive ratio a bit as Im not able to use 6th at all on the long straight.Thanks
