S8R6: Spa pre-race chat
« on: September 08, 2015, 11:14:52 PM »
This is a single race "enduro round", triple points, 21 laps. Fuel and tyre multiplier will probably be 2.4x, to make both cars need 1 stop (I'll have to test it).

Weather forecast: http://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Racing/Belgium/Spa-Francorchamps-Circuit.aspx (13:00)
Probably cold; possibly wet.

It's also the last round of the season, with Guybrush sitting just 7 points ahead of Matthew.

Hmmm... change the track surfaces to make half of them low grip?

I should be home for this round Wally so my ballst free car shoukd be fairly quick I hope.  ;D

I will be off to Italy a few weeks later though and be away for a fair bit of the rest of the year most likely but keen to have a run if there is a spot. I think we will be getting to Melbourne Tuesday and with some luck not too late.

OK, cool. I'll make sure you're on the list.

I've got the practice server up with the current Spa forecast for Tuesday. 11° and damp. The server also has tyre wear at 1.2x (fuel 2.4x), which is how it will be if the conditions are as cold as this.

If anybody wants to set their ballast on the server, you can do:

/admin <XGN password>
/ballast 0 <kg> (or use /client_list to find out which car you are)

hmmm, maybe 85% is too much grip for damp?  Maybe 75%?
Depends how wet I guess.

I actually liked the challenge when it was 65% at Hamburgerring during practice :)

Nah, look at the forecast . a tiny bit of light drizzle, not even a shower.

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
