Enjoyed the race, not quite as lonely as the Ferrari test. And it certainly paid  to be accurate and deliberate with the gear changes, no flat shifting!

A slight touch to Kcender (sorry) on the first lap left me some way behind the pack struggling to catch up, the soft tires was definitely a help on full fuel. Pitted early hoping for an under-cut which did not eventuate. But spend 17 laps chasing Wally, slowly reeling him in by 0.2s per lap just hoping his soft tires would fail before the hard tires I chose during the pit stop. But just as I finally got by Wally I picked the wrong side of a spinning car (Keith?  :P ) to give the spot back to him.   Fun race

Nah all good - i thought that was my fault - after missing out on the Lotus I rushed a blind guess of a set on the Mclaren and ran too soft and heavy so I was laying chassis under braking so I had no control at that point :P

Car was odd - was evil laps 1 - 5 then came good on mid fuel then became evil again toward the end - seems like it has rubbish geometry that is super sensitive to travel and ride height requiring over stiff suspension to control it which isnt the way to go on the old things - saved by a long no stop strategy :P

Dead keen on these over the v10s though
Geometry is definitely out of wack and more so on some cars than others.
I took the Williams without doing any trials beforehand and couldn't really get a good set-up compared to some of the others I had more time with, I had a faster time with other cars.
Also I tried shifting without clutch during practice and blew my box after two laps, so I didn't bother with it. Qualifying 10th I thought I'd be in for some good mid field racing but got punted off at the first corner, no worries all good. Damaged steering I went back to pit and came out with the leaders but I didn't feel like doing a full race blue flagged so I hit exit button and went out to the garage to continue my pc's front panel mod.

...Of all the cars I've driven the fittipaldi seemed the odd one out, something wrong with alignment settings...

Thanks BDO, I fixed a small error in the front wing on this and another car. But all I can find on the FD03 is that it has fuck all trail so maybe that makes it feel odd?
It feels like it wants to sway? from one side to another, transitions aren't nice compared to the other cars and I couldn't get toe to near zero, it was a quick fiddle in settings so it could have just been me

Agree i was happy with my time and its nearly 2 seconds off kcender. I was 100% stock setup.

Anyone know optimum pressures for these?
Ikr, Wally updated the tyre app if you use it.

I tried one of the other challenges and couldn't see anyone's names on the leader board. I might be doing something wrong with it

Has anyone noticed if the different makes feel different to drive? I haven't really driven more than one yet.
The differences are subtle but they are there.
There are 3 'grades' of Cosworth engine and aero efficiency is slightly different as well.
I still think the driver makes the difference though.
Of all the cars I've driven the fittipaldi seemed the odd one out, something wrong with alignment settings or maybe just me. The rest seemed very close and if you look at the server times the main difference was getting used to the cars (eg. slowest car driven first). I'm still racking my brain how kcender and the like can be 2-3 seconds faster. I'm giving it all she's got captain lol

Nice. I think with the ebay case the screen sits in those little notches I can't remember 100% now. It has a port on the back for when using with a Pi which is why the OSR one is so deep. I assume it has the two plates as the backplate holds it all in.

The LEDS on the CSL Elite base are pointless, can't see them with either rim I have  ;D I did read there was going to be a firmware update to disable them but haven't seen it.
I was thinking this plate would replace the one you have carbon wrapped. The rest of the pi box you have would remain the same and basically sit in the same position it is currently, only it would be bolted to the wheel base through the new plate. How do have it mounted now, double side tape? Only going by the pictures you posted...
hey, if you're still using sim hub, a good dash here https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/jrt-dashboard-for-simhub.20658/

Ah gotcha! Using Velcro at the moment.

How about we add the XGN prefix to our nicks, just for these open server/recruitment nights?

Good idea
I was wondering if I should put the discord in the server name, but worried we will get filled up with idiots all the time which would annoy Tuesdays also
You're probably right, anyone serious enough will look up the website

Hey!!  where do i unzip the OSRW PIT MOD?    i forgot :-\
Drag and drop it into content manager, or the track folder (imola)

Thats what i did but i think i have to  re download the mod
The car mod I think, is new today, so you'll most likely need to re-download if you had it all ready

27 front/28 rear

Nominal slip angle for max' grip is 8.9 front/7.1 rear


Tyres are Bazza's and I don't understand half the parameters in there anyway so not something I like to play with.
