Mar 22 fun run: Lamborghini Countach at Luccaring
« on: March 15, 2016, 11:00:32 PM »
Drive it like you stole it

Hurl the iconic Lamborghini Countach around the scenic streets of Lucca in Tuscany.

3 x 6 lap races at Luccaring (dropbox track download, faster than RD).

The twist:
Race 1 will allow only the Pirelli Cinturato tyres.
Race 2 will allow only street tyres.
Race 3 will allow only semislick tyres.

As a guide, I've determined optimal tyre pressures as follows:

Pirelli Cinturato
43, 44
45, 47

Street
29, 30
33, 35

Semislick
29, 30
33, 34

A word of caution: while there are some really nice fast drifting corners, there are also several very slow chicanes. Take care of your historic Countach!

Each race will have a short, 8 minute qualifying session - time for only a couple of hot laps. There will be the usual long practice session before the first qually which is at the usual time of 8:30pm eastern DST.

If you need to download the track, start early.  It downloaded 300mb @ ~40 kb/s last night.  Both Dropbox and RD were the same for some reason... maybe I was unknowingly downloading something else somewhere.

Some Race Results.

A small turnout tonight, but fun was still had, on an enjoyable combo.
Congrats to Guybrush and Stan (x2) on the race wins, with Guybrush and Marty setting fastest race lap times.

The fun part for me was a bit of position swapping with Guybrush when he started from further back, until I ran into a tree which didn't bend.

Was a fun combo, havijg ran the track in the past a bit at least I didnt need to learn it but too a few races to get a bit more comfortable. Trying the back of grid start last race I was doing well till I ran out of patience on the last lap and started to rub the walls lol.

Also funny in one of the races it said I took a pitstop when I didnt, maybe I got 1 wheel over the curb into last turn and it considers this a pitstop. I do like a proper street track and this one is very well done, would be a challenge over a longer distance as you need to give some margin to the walls but following others closely you cant see chit here in these cars.  ;D

Try following with a single 27 inch monitor and 37 FOV! lol.  It was a good combo.  Would be interesting to do some longer races here on a Thursday night.

I noticed that the pit stop reporting was completely borked here. It must have something to do with this mod track.
