Post by: Wally on August 15, 2017, 11:12:19 PM
R4: Aug 22, Bridgehampton [DOWNLOAD 2.0 (http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/bridgehampton-race-circuit.6604/updates/)], 8 laps + 19 laps

Note this is a new track version on RaceDepartment (2.0). If you have the old version 1.0, you have to delete the old Bridgehampton track folder first.

The track actually has 44 pit boxes, so you can ignore any warnings about there being insufficient slots.

Was hoping to have a bit less restrictor for this round, and now Freezer's engine is also a bit asthmatic   :o  That uphill final straight is going to be a .........

Hey Wally, I'll be away for work again so I'll miss 17/8 and 22/8. but definitely in for THURS 31/8 and TUES 5/9 if there's racing, thanks

I think there will be some big "offs" at Bridgehampton... a lot of blind corners over crests, high top speeds and not really smooth......

should be interesting

Looking at the BOP I'm putting my money on Matthew for the win here  :o

Nah, Phil can win with any amount of restrictor.

Yeah no idea how he did it haha, krahl racing seems to have a grip on these escorts even joe is doing well. Keen for less restrictor though!

I'm more keen for sweeping corners instead of hairpins.
That's where these cars belong. ;)

I did well this week and as it did poorly last week and only had 61% restrictor for this one. I wonder if will keep going like that; bad, good, bad, good repeat or whether it will level itself out. But agreed Phil is some kind of freak.

It can swing a bit, but because it's based on season standings, I'm hoping that it will start to level out.

Not to mention the 250+ laps of practice you do each week . . . . do you actually leave the house!  :)

True , that probably helps  :) I am lucky where my wife is also a bit of a gamer so she allows me to do laps of an evening,  pc gaming is our TV :) 
I also fear a little if i don't practice I will lose all skill, I will be 50 in a couple of years,    gotta make hay while I can :)

Well I'm 52, so maybe I should practice more . . . or I'm already past it!  :)

No way your past it :)   If you practiced as much as I do I am pretty sure you would do very well

I used to practice as much as phil but now i'm addicted to another game  ;D You must be lonely on there without me Phil  :-*

Order and Chaos. Android World of Warcraft ripoff... I'll practice more for next race though with my BOP. Need to figure out how you do it  ;D

Cool, any of you guys can add me on origin if you like. Same name, I still get on bf1 a bit, not as much now that some friends have moved to pubg (couldn't get into that one). Play the occasional round of overwatch and used to finish a night off with a round or two of rocket league...don't you judge me lol☺️

No judgement. I often went to play a round of two of rocket league before bed and 3 hours later....

I has rocket league, overwatch is basically so dumbed down it should be marketed as My first fps and I dont like it and cant get into pubg so far

Remember, please redress your position as soon as it's safe to do so if you cause an accident where you're clearly in the wrong. Redress isn't required on lap 1, where there are already penalties, and redressing would probably cause more danger.

If anybody feels like they were on the wrong end of an incident in any race, PM me afterwards and tell me which race, roughly which lap, and who you think hit you, and some time later in the week I'll take a look. If I think someone's at fault and they didn't redress, they'll get a ballast penalty for the next race.

flowing nature of this place makes it hard on restrictor, no slow corners for late braking skillz,  awesome track though, will make sweet racing
Title: Re: S18R4: Bridgehampton Race Chat
Post by: Bacchulum on August 18, 2017, 10:44:43 PM
See, I find the car better through long corners, keep the minimum apex speed up, and restrictor doesn't hurt as much.
Hairpins, on the other hand, hurt massively as your always demanding torque out of them, which is restricted, of course.


Not that I care this round. 8)
Title: Re: S18R4: Bridgehampton Race Chat
Post by: Wally on August 19, 2017, 09:47:31 AM
I read on the AC forums from Aris I think that restrictor hurts most at maximum revs, which I guess is going to slow the engine at the end of every gear, whether hairpins or straights.

I've just added you both on Origin :)
I tried and persisted but eventually gave up on BF1 and reverted back to BF4 - much better game in my opinion.

See you on track.
