I just had the chance to do a bit of practice. I haven't properly tried it but I think getting the Lotus up there in time is probably more of an achievement.And...points are only handed out on Sunday... Or Tuesday as it were.Was just using you because you've done 310km/h in the Ferrari and I can just get 307km/h sort of flickering at best...sometimes. I think I'm doing not so bad in the curvy area, but top speed is a problem for me as the Eagles are so much faster...in the areas where overtaking is actually possible....then take slip stream into the equation...yeah, not good at all.Well, I'll try the Lotus later today and see if I can get that one it a bit faster. With the Ferrari I'm at my wits' end...and skills of course ;-)So why should I use kcender as a reference again? It seems you've had quite a break from sim racing (may have raced elsewhere, dunno), "...just had the chance to do a bit of practice", then the shifter issue on top...yeah, don't really get it ;-)I can only get 309km/h in the eagle after many attempts . . so with those extra 2km/h I will blow past you! Haha...with the Eagle I get to 310 twice...with the Ferrari I'm getting to 306/307 on the first straight and then 303/304 on the 2nd. I guess, if I have a Eagle behind me adding slip stream the difference in speed will be enough to not have any chance to defend my position. Then back in the stadium you can probably forget about overtaking anyway :-) Logged Guybrush Threepwood Hero Member Posts: 2133 Karma: 69 Re: S28R1: Hockenheim 60's « Reply #17 on: May 06, 2019, 06:52:29 PM » Quote from: killagorilla on May 06, 2019, 02:46:48 PMQuote from: Guybrush Threepwood on May 06, 2019, 01:02:06 PMKCender really should be your reference.

Look at the power and torque curves and set your gearing around that. Just because you've got room to move in top gear (5th) doesn't necessarily mean you will go as fast as a shorter gear that peaks at the right engine output.

That could be why the eagle looks to gain time on the straights but doesn't have a higher top speed - it gets to its top speed quicker.

I couldn't catch a draft all day. Probably just placebo. But thought I'd check.You can't turn slipstreaming on or off on the server. FYI, I'm getting the NBN connected today, so hopefully I have internet tonight. If something screws up, I'll have to postpone the race. I'll keep you posted.
