Another round win for Joe, despite some early pressure from ab156, who again took 2 out of 3 fastest laps.

Wanted to be disparaging of the track, the graphics sucks and no track surface texture. However it such a good combo with the car. Technical twisty with decent straights, and have to be careful with the tyres. Tyre management is qoing to be essential.
-
Yes, the track is quite old, from memory, but I thought the layout would be interesting.

latest iteration of my low d/f.

Caveat emptor, apparently my all time average finishing position is 9.7, so...
I have seen a few requests for example laps for the F3, here is a quick run from this afternoon.

Attached is:
setup - all I did was tyre pressure, added 1 click of wing F + R, and softened it up a little (dampers F + R, spring front)
Replay file https://mega.nz/#!9JhlnC6K (https://mega.nz/#!9JhlnC6K) - the last lap is the better one, the one before was better in Sector 1
Motec data https://mega.nz/#!RcxhnK4b (https://mega.nz/#!RcxhnK4b) - if anyone is that interested
I am finding pretty much the whole lap around here is about managing the front grip level, there is only really 1 (maybe 2) spots where the rear should be a worry. Braking points are important and vary with fuel load, seems very sensitive to that around here.
Track grip level will have an impact as will temp. I don't think anyone will make the Mediums last, they overheat very quickly in S1 and S3.
I think the quali times will be mid 52's.
Good luck.
-
Nice info AB. I see you have the fastest time on the practice server.

oh, that's encouraging. Done a few pretty pathetic laps last night...only have to find 9s somewhere ;)
However, thanks for sharing this.

Nice info AB. I see you no longer have the fastest time on the practice server.
;D ;D

I have no idea when it comes to setups but what I did notice is that the mediums couldn’t last 3 quick laps last night and by my quick I mean, I’m deep into the 56’s so its going to be hard tyres for the race....

Yeah, it'll be hards for most, I reckon.

I'm gloating while I can but I don't feel as confident about this track as I did last week

100%.
i wasnt able to get any real life out of softs.
the mediums were ok but had a very small grip life.
hards are ok but just a bitch to get warm :P
-
Default Joe will have to run mediums.

Lol I was on hards last week so guess I can't keep saying default now

Server's up.

Strange I can not see race server in list.

too many mistakes and too many dumb crashes, I'm spitting the dummy for tonight >:( :-\ ::)

Results are up. Well done again to Joe.

Hey Brad, sry for my tap in I think race 2, I clipped one of those bigger kerbs and it bounced me across into your rear tyre. :( :(
-
Tough night . . . ran medium in first race but didn't get comfortable with them. A small tap with Wally saw me around early and it was pretty sketchy after that.
Race 2 I swapped to hard and a small suspension change which felt better with a more consistent race. Race 3 was looking good as I chased down a 4 sec gap
to Wally who was fighting with AGK but to no avail as I spun as soon as I caught them.
Do like the track just didn't put it together.

I hear ya , was tempted to do the same , but I was to stubborn and didn't want to let the track win. Track won 3 - 0.
Sorry dave it was my bad hitting you on one of those tight corners the car does turn enough I was just going to fast for it to turn.
-
Race 1 was a bit lonely after getting airborne.
Race 2 was a good chase of Phil and AGK.
Race 3 was a loooong chase of AGK, every lap less than a second behind him, until I finally got close enough for a tow and managed to just stick a pass on the last lap.
-
I had a good first race with AB taking the lead and making me work hard for the pass. The other two races I got a better start and was able to stay ahead.
I think I'm suited to formula cars for some reason. My first ever pole was in a formula car as was my first ever Tuesday win. Maybe it's my 37 year young reaction times compared to some of you ;D ;D

I'm nearly 56 now, and I was probably in my early 40s when I started sim racing. I'm sure my reaction times have got worse. Hmmmm... maybe ballast according to age? Ballast = 120 - age*2.

About to crack 55 so I second that motion for Ballast! :)

I hit 70 this year ::) those last couple of posts basically sum up why I don't race much anymore ;) ???

Well, expected to see myself at the bottom end of the grid, but somehow I figured out how to get around this track.
Once you get a bit of a feel for where to brake and what line to take this track is actually fun.
In race one I gave Wally an easy pass. I was distracted by I don't even know what, forgot where I was and slowed down at a spot where it wasn't necessary...haha...getting old too ;)
Otherwise quite a bit of good, close racing with Phil.
Lost a few positions in race 2 due to the incident with ab156, but luckily enough damage was probably just minor...guess the front wing may have suffered a bit.
So I went for a chase for Wally and got him at the end of the race, but no chances to pass.
Yeah, age ballast, good idea...would get my vote as well ;)
Cheers

Still good to see you on track Dave regardless of where!

I think this track stinks ( I don't mean the visuals either I just don't like the layout), I was about 5 secs off mid pack in practice so didn't bother racing.
Sorry, but this is going to happen a lot because I'm finding the older I get, the less patience I have.
