No Aids Racing

We did a race tongith, Xzwins, SteveB, Paul and me + 5 AI. Lol was fun. At the level they are set now, they are racing almost on our pace time, but wiht less mistake. I even saw an AI spun at start and hit Paul and scrw his start, was just too funy! They are very agressive. Make fun short race.

Indeed Flow that was fun. DAM AI drivers.

A good way to practice rather than just doing solo laps.
I saw the AI make mistakes but they recover from them so fast you can't even get a jump on them.

I think practicing that way might be better to work on your race setup, I don't know how many times I had to back off in the back section due to the draft,my car almost lost ALL downforce.
I think I need to adjust a few things...LOL

Hope to do it again tonight.

I broke the 1.08 barrier i had, lol. Did a 1:08.990 as PB. Im able to do 1:09.0XX aften, but never on my 1st lap of Hotlap, only on the 2nd. I never can get under 1:09.3xx or more on my 1st out, need to heat more my tire. But sunday i expect a 1:09.high or 10flush (nervosity )

Did a 1:08.7XX and according to telemetry, its possible to do faster, maybe even in 07 for Mark? lol i think this was again a luck of a almost perfect lap. As you can see in the pict. If any dont use telemetry, you dont need to learn how all it works, just view your sector and play the real time telemetry and its verry interesting to learn where you gain and loose between 2 good laps.

One comment to all (including me). Watch out for race at T1. If a spun occur in front driver, this can be bad to all folowing driver and cause a major crash. I did few race start and spun at T1, and was realy afraid of what could hapend in back cause i did a 180 in T1. If you see a yellow or see a spuning car, better slow and avoid anything and watch you mirror in to not be hit in back. This will alow you to avoid crash and better loose at least 1-2 position rather than pit in for a front wing... T1 may not be easy.

If you go wide, remember to slow (admin need to feel you slow) to avoid any penality. Better loose 1-2 sec than +10penality.

Have a good race.

I will not do a 07 flow in fact i did some more testing here and i have to say that youre 08.7 is realy an good lap m8 atleast i didnt managed to be faster yet, i also think a 07 is out of reach for me.

watch it with the radiators, i did a test race from the back of the grid with 21 ai (rad 2, drago setup) and my engine overheated at lap 16, after showing red light on the first half of the start/finish straight for 4 laps prior... seems the engine gets really hot if you are behind cars all the time. too bad for me as i finally was in the lead .

dunno if it was the 2lap safty car that caused it tho, dont think so since the car warned a few laps prior to that

BTW the race starts at 8 swedish time right? 19.00GMT

Thanks mark, hehe im just having more control on braking, less yoo block tire more smooth you do the curve, faster you exit, but not always easy to do.

Kaffee, watch out on straight. You were victim of tooo mutch draft probably on straight. If you run low wing or low gear, if you get +10-15kmh of speed of draft, that is just making your engine overheat by running too mutch at max. Unless your drivng a too low rad. Could be setup and/or draft.

yep exactly thank you for verifying my point, this was just a heads up to all you others cuz since overtaking is a bit tricky we are likely to end up drafting alot, and when i overheated i wasnt drafting that much at all, actually the opposite.

flow, do you think changing the gear ratio on 7th gear to a higher setting to get less rmp would help? although that would be kinda stupid

but ive pushed the rad up to 3 now so i should be fairly safe..i hope, cba to try it out again though
