Australian Assetto Corsa League, Tuesday nights / Re: S19R7: Bahrain Post-Race Chat« on: November 30, 2017, 01:11:43 PM »
Thanks everyone for the season. Despite lapping alone most of the time, I did enjoy driving the LMP1 cars. It was nice to be able to setup the car the way I wanted it to drive instead of adapting to the car and working out how to drive around the issues. I had a decent base setup by the Le Mans race and was just lacking in practice time with all but 1 round only having about 30 minutes to learn the track and find where to best use the KERS. Shanghai was definitely my best race as I like the track and actually had about 1.5 hours to practice. That seemed to be enough to gain the 1 to 1.5 secs I was lacking otherwise. My consistency is also getting better but still have some brain fade late in the races from time to time.
Thanks again to everyone and sorry for those I caused problems with. Congrats to the winners and of course my team-mate KCender for this run. At least one of us was getting results Bring on season 20 77

Had a lonely race thanks to not getting a lap in during qualifying. Completely my own fault.
Made my way through the GT cars half way through lap 1 but was already about 30 secs behind. Lapped reasonably consistently for most of the race with a couple of lapses in concentration but wasn't too bad a test session for me. Congrats to Kcender and KillaGorilla for the wins and bring on next week. 78

Thinking I'll run in the Capri. Is there a track list yet?

I was getting warning with 2 wheels outside the white lines which is still perfectly valid in the real world. Will just have to take more care in the race

I'll have a run with these if there's an open spot. I'll decide on a car later tonight.

I turned my first laps in anger with the Audi in the half hour leading up to the race. Was just interested in getting a good race setup and making the car pretty forgiving to drive. I felt by the end of practice I'd achieved that and was looking forward to the race. I did enjoy the rolling start but the first lap incident was a little frustrating but that's racing. I thought the 5 min penalty was a bit rough but it's a game thing and can't be changed. I made myself a drink, re-grouped and just set out to understand the car better. I was pretty happy with the race pace of the car and there was definitely more in it. I think I did my best lap in the last few laps of the race but still some tuning to do yet.
Just a note to the GT cars, stay on line so it's more predictable and when we pass coming into a slow corner and please dont try and stick it back up the inside again, happened twice into the slow chicane and I went off track to avoid the collision since I was a few laps down anyway. All things considered, it was a fun night and bring on next week. Condolences to Kcender for being paired up with me......I think you'll be getting the bulk of the points for us 82

Seems like Audi numbers are lacking in LMP1. I'll jump in one so your not the lone Ranger Wally.

After 20 laps they're still fine 86

Sorry fuel usage of 1.5 is probably more appropriate

If the main issue is the fuel usage in the LMP cars, moving the fuel usage to 2x will enforce a stop and retain the consumption advantage/disadvantage. This may work as long as the GT3 cars usage is pretty equal. 88

Had quick runs in all 3 LMP1 cars last night and actually find the Toyota is the best balance just twitchy in the rear on turn in. Should be able to tune that out for the quick direction changes. Not sure about forcing soft tyres though. Even the GT cars cook the L/H/R around Mugello pretty quick.
I think every car has strengths and weaknesses so it's a matter of enjoying the best of the cars and best dealing with or driving around the worst for whichever given track. |
