No Aids Racing

i started this topic so that we can make fun of our initial times after 1-2 weeks i read the malaysia reference times and i saw i was struggling for 1:33 then...so here goes: i made a few laps with kaffe and we did 30's and one 1:29.2 ... lucky lap i guess

waiting to see drago's and mark's 1:25's )

Did my first laps last night and my best so far was a 1.31.6.

Coffe and Qler report

Qler is currently hotlapping his eyes off, and has broken the 28 barrier. Only matter of time before Romania enters the winners lounge in NAR

Me i dont drive much, think i have a total of 70ish laps at this moment, but doing roughly 30mid/high at the start of the stint. just gotta learn all the parts of the track. for q i have a 28.6

20 laps approx (test_restricktions....) , 1.31,xx on empty tank

lol, i did brake the 28 barrier, i got 1:27.8 but i have no idea how i did it and i cant really do it again i stumble with my sets, make a lot of mistakes on track so things dont really look good for me

by the way do u guys get understeer in the medium esse at the start of 2nd sector ? i dont really know what to do about it... cant get the correct racing line at reasonable speed...when i do it's luck and i break the 1:28 lol


any ideas ? tried adjusting wings and springs but nothing seems to work...
thanks

On Qualif setup, i did 1:29.2XX as PB. But im still not verry stable, still easy to do mistake. On race setting, i dont know my time, i need to get use to the blind S at 2nd sector, not a easy one.

One comment, in past 2006, 6 drivers in Euro DNF and 7 in NA. if im right, most reason were Crash in wall, and Brake problem. Watch out!

And if any remember 2 years ago, i DNF in 2nd position with empty fuel, few meter before finish line (between last curve and finish line), Try to not do that...

hi,

I ve got a 28'500 in qualif set (3x 30min practice) and I didnt set anything for race now.
From the way I see it, everything happen in sect 2.

I have an idea about setting the car for race but I ve still few question for you guys.
Until I havent been driving lately , I was wondering about engine temp problem in long stints.
How do you set rad or else to keep the engine alive until the end.
My engine get really warm everytime I tested to pit!!!!

thanks in advance

As mark already suggest, do a private session and use the 'time scale' as for mechanical failure. This will simulate the 100% lenght race of engine life for the number of lap that you will set it.

yes, Flow is right, nobody can tell u how to set rad brake duct etc because everyone has different driving styles.. if u change in red, if u downshift hard, if u are hard on brakes , all these make the difference.. so test in time scaled...

I am happy to announce i got a 1:27.6 today....which will prolly mean the end of quali set training... still feals pretty random , and now it's easyer to make mistakes with the new sandtraps...which are realistic btw....

in race i did a 19 lap stint getting all 29's with a 1st lap of 30...but that is 2 good to be true and of course i couldnt repeat it.... and that was before sandtraps

Dont worry, with sand trap in race you will pace : 1:29,1:29,1:29,1:29,1:41(oups, sand)1:29,1:29(oups sand)1:29,1:29,1:45,1:48.. oups no brake

If you want to pace steady in race, be shure to not have a car in your ass, mirror driving is distracting. And if your folowing, watch out, 3 corner are deadly on this track, full speed and hard braking corner. Not all driver have same braking point.

I sarted my race setup last night, i think its not bad at all, i just need to concentrate more, to do stable pace time.

Qler made me do some Q tests (telemetry is fun ) and after watching where i lost time, i managed to squeeze down to 28.2 (rougly 30-40 min testing), race feels far better. Think i'll be able to hold it in the 30s all the way, with some excursions to the 29s. ofc, that is if i practise a bit more my biggest problem is that i stall the car hehe

flow u bastard! ... u are right tho that will prolly be my race... hard for a unexperienced driver like myself to keep constant pace, and i get nervous as hell on race day, my leg is shivering on throttle (btw anyone else has this?)

But i figure u have to start somewhere, and speed is a good way to start, so dont worry about me, if i finish the race i am more than happy

Kaffe, i'm glad u found telemetry helpful, we need to promote it as ppl here dont trust it

Unexperienced my ass qler.... hehehee

This is my second FULL season and my legs and hands shake just as much now as my first season but I do get over it faster.

As for the telemetry it may be somewhat accurate but trying to understand the dam thing is the major problem.

All I see is a bunch of squiggly lines. LMAO

At malaysia, Hitman was making my leg shake so mutch that i was starting to mist my braking point. usualy im nervous when i feel that i wont be able to hold the driver behind, my leg is like freezing and OUPS MOVE MOVE and it moves too fast or too slow .

At my first season in NAR, my hands were missing blood, was like ants in my hands . I happty that it disapeared... last year! Now, 4 years later, the 'parkingson' leg still occur at least once in race, and even in qualif .

Gahahahahaha parkinson comes with your age flow
