PS. And before you ask it is NOT the prospect of mounting GB that is enticing me back  :-[

Has Guybrush mentioned how he was told god was inside him and his local priest was just trying to get closer to god by getting inside him.  ;D

I loaded the track saw t1 apex and saw enough lol, will run some laps Monday nite I guess but is that elevation change a kerb or are they not that high.

Just had a couple of hours practice, First time I've really driven the P1. Feels pretty different to the Lafa. At least on this track I keep full charge even with ABS and TC on. Took a while to get used to, but finally managed a 1:25.6.
Title: Re: S7R5: Mid America Motorplex Pre-Race Chat
Post by: Guybrush Threepwood on June 27, 2015, 11:02:26 PM
Did a few laps earlier myself just before the MotoGP (brilliant race by the way!).  It's a fairly average track IMO - layout and graphical quality, but at least it's something different.

I was looking forward to it because I thought it was that other American track we had a run in in the Cobras some time ago.  Mid-Ohio maybe???
Title: Re: S7R5: Mid America Motorplex Pre-Race Chat
Post by: Wally on June 28, 2015, 11:28:25 AM
We might have raced at Road America in the Cobras once upon a time, from memory.

This track just feels to me like it will produce some good racing in these cars, with the corner radiuses.

I'm down to 1:25.583 in the Ferrari.

Dave, I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get a (RSR) clean/green lap in?? I don't know where to find the Sector times are, so not sure where its going screwy.

Not sure RSR works at all on this track? At least the times I've got it to connect, it doesn't show any results and none of mine get recorded.

Got a 1:25.249 earlier, was on for a 1:24 but lost it in the last corner  >:(
Title: Re: S7R5: Mid America Motorplex Pre-Race Chat

No, I think the RSRLiveTiming doesn't work at all on this track, for some reason.

I still havent run a lap lol, I was going to today but ended up getting busy on a nords server in the ruf and f40 so that was a track I know I like so tomorrow nite I will check this one. Has anyone tested if pit-stops work, if there are issues id still propose either Nords or Luccaring for a substitute. At least I know those to tracks ;)

Post by: marty on June 29, 2015, 10:04:37 AM
The DRS will help you be slightly less slower then the laferrari  ;D

Without it you will lose a second or 2 per lap. Also it really helps to loosen the rear on some corners on exit. The thing id much prefer is if you could press the button to de activate or need to hold it in to be in use. As is only brakes deactivate it and if you loose the rear with drs and if you get into a tank slapper your pretty much done for. Some corners where you dont need to brake but deactivate drs may need a quick brake tap which isnt ideal either.

Make sure its properly mapped and in use, turn on the ingame electronics app and it will go yellow when active then back to white when deactivated.

Thanks for that tip. I was using the indicator on the dash, but sometimes when you think you've activated it mid-turn, you only realize after the steering wheel stops blocking the indicator it didn't work, probably due to still being on the brakes a little.
Title: Re: S7R5: Mid America Motorplex Pre-Race Chat
Post by: marty on June 29, 2015, 01:26:07 PM
I did run a couple laps, I cant say the track is a good layout or even a well done recreation of a pretty bland and boring layout to maybe gp4 mod standards. I was thinking pole position but maybe that's harsh GP4 tracks looked a lot like this, also the brake markers lol did the guy making the track drive the track. I wonder how he doesn't realize that putting brake markers out and spacing them out 5m apart with numbers like 50,10,150,200,250 when even 250 is less then 50m away from the corner. Being an American track then having these in yards would be expected but I think he converted yards into Mexican pesos to get his distances.  ;D

Here is the real track, yes its still a crappy layout but it has some character with a bumpy track and a bit of grass around, I cant say I recognize any sections from the real video after my few laps in this mod track.

[youtube]L9n5UFv-XBM[/youtube]

Racing it will be probably a bit more fun but its not a track I will likely run ever again after this round. With the size of our fields atm we could even run a round at Vallelunga for example which is a great track we havent used due to 22 grid limits also quite a few much better done mod tracks then this. I assume its a conversion from something around gpl era or earlier with no improvements made to it since as thats how it looks and drives.

Good work Joe.  Should be a close race.  I think the P1 just makes up the speed disadvantage though a couple of corners.  Gonna be a bitch to overtake though - unless using the sneaking method.

Thanks Marty.

Good work Joe.  Should be a close race.  I think the P1 just makes up the speed disadvantage though a couple of corners.  Gonna be a bitch to overtake though - unless using the sneaking method.

I reckon there's a few corners were people will run wide and let people past on the inside.

Post by: StanDaam on June 30, 2015, 08:17:52 AM
I agree, the P1 has plenty of corners here to counter the Lafa's straight line speed.
Had some excellent races last night, should be some good racings tonight!!  :D

For sure. I find this track really hard to be fast and consistent. I usually loose the last corner every few laps.

Yea that p1 turns a little better and can sneak that nose in on a couple of those double apex corners. Fair chance you will get a blood nose for the efforts. The lafa does have the grunt so you can just slow others to the apex and power out. Kind of like someone elses little trick.  ;D

Well done Joe and I like how Guybrush is bottom of those time charts. He did put in some quicker laps but see he was cutting grass and they were invalid but not sure if plp was counting them as cuts.
