Hi Wally,

I might miss this one. I give it a 50/50 chance. I am landing in Sydney on Tuesday early morning, but on a 3-legs trip from Philadelphia, so there is a good chance I might fall asleep and miss the race. In any case, I probably won't have time to practice, so you probably should hope I miss it, as otherwise you'll have me lapping half asleep and barely knowing the track...

No worries, Grat - enjoy your trip.

Server is up, another track I have never ran but I did see some races there on TV.

Bad luck Grat and 3 legs 24hr trip sounds like fun, when are you leaving as surely your not going to spend much time there as it takes 1 day to get there and another day to get back. Then dial in some nice jet lag which will take about 3 days to get over then you will fly back and get to deal with it again.

Leaving on Thursday morning and scheduled to get there on Thursday evening local time. Have a Friday of more intense work stuff followed by a Saturday of less intense work stuff but with probably plenty of beers with colleagues on both Friday and Saturday night. I hope I wake up in time to watch some football and the grand prix on Sunday morning and then catch up a flight around 3pm.

Thankfully the most relevant business I have to take care in the 48 hours after I get back should be racing with you guys, so I can hopefully rest a bit then.

First time ever on the track, I ran a few laps to learn the track then one race run. Lotus seems quite stable here using my Brands setup so I put it up again with just pressure changes so far. This must be a Tilke track as its very similar to Sepang F1 circuit so likely built around the same time, its actually quite fun to drive though in this car and seems way more stable then at brands. I put my setup in ptracker but probably a bit too much aero though it may be easier this way will just need to try some less later.

There isnt really any long straight with the fastest section still haveing 3 flat kinks which with less aero may need to slow for so possibly max front again and rear just for balance here. I think it takes about 10 laps to get the hang of the layout if youve never ran a lap but I think in these cars it should be quite fun here.

Original track is from the 60s, but it was heavily modified in 1993 and then again in 2006.

Kind of amazed the track is not a Tilke design and no mention of who made the circuit changes but he has no credit for it. Sepang was built in 1999 and possibly hosted motogp quite early on and this was likely used as inspiration at least it seems.

That was designed as a safer f1 circuit and sadly its also the place where Marco Simoncelli did have his fatal accident, Misano circuit is now named after him though this is because he was born in the area.

Can you also put your setup in The Setup Market app, which you can download on the AC forums? That's a better way to share setups, because then you can download them on any server.

If we ran stracker on the race server not only could people easily share setups with everyone or just between some people we would also get all this cool data.

http://52.62.170.191:50041/sessiondetails?playerInSessionId=14902#

Shows how much fuel people are running, how long their stops are, where they ran off track and even a speed comparison between anyone else.

I dont really want to run another app simply for setup sharing when this app can do that and so much more. As is people can jump on the prac server and grab my setups after all even a couple practice laps wont hurt anyone.  ;)

I am enjoying an amazing free satellite internet from the middle of the pacific... I wonder what my ping to marty's server would be...

Are these stars only available while the server's up though? Or are they recorded somewhere else?

One way that these could always be available is if stracker is run on race nite but then anyone running a 24/7 server could host the stracker database. I could host the database on mine or if this forum is hosted on an Amazon instance it could be hosted here or any other server always up. All that would be needed is to copy the database from the race nite server after each race to another and run an stracker instance so people could access this data.

For the race nite server all that would be needed is to run stracker on the nite, I havent noticed any issues with netcode running this on 6 servers also running minorating on a small amazon instance so the larger one running only the race nite should have no issues.

The other advantage on the nite is proper live timing would work so in qualy you would actually know what times are set. The ingame timing rarely works for me and last qualy I had no idea of others times and if I had pole until I was on the grid for the race.

Setup sharing is very easy within this where you can send to a specific person or publish to all in the server. I think it would add a fair bit to the nite as ingame timing by kunos sucks to put it nicely.

I'll look into stracker Marty.

Wally I think give it a try next mid season run, though it works without issues for me you could find something on the first test.  :D

After running a few laps here, I really enjoy the layout fairly high speed high commitment track with a few nice slow corners too to mix it up. Everyone should do a practice pit entry as its much slower then it looks and come in a touch hot you may wreck the car within sight of your pit box. I smashed up the right side so well it wouldn't have made it back to my pit box on first attempt. Second attempt I turned in earlier only to smash the left wall on entry and get pushed into right wall bending all 4 wheels again stuck on right wall unable to go anywhere.

Post by: Wally on June 20, 2016, 10:24:20 PM
Good advice Marty. I quite like the layout too. That long series of increasing right handers is a test of commitment for sure. It will be quite warm, about 26 and 28 degrees.

Hi guys,

I tried to do a few laps earlier on, but now I am way too sleepy and I fear I would be more dangerous than funny. Sorry. Will be back next Tuesday for sure. Have fun.

GB: how's life? Looking forward to see you again on track.

Missing beating us all yet

Actually are you sure your not playing swtor now, roughly the time you stopped racing a Guybrush Threepwood appeared and the server Adele plays on  :o 8)

No worries AJ. See you next season in the Japanese cars, a totally different kettle of fish.
