What would people like to race this Tuesday? I'll be away again. A practice run for the Formula Renault, or something a little more unusual?
How did last Tuesday night at Zandvoort go?
-
I'd be up for a practice with real drivers in the Renault
-
lotus 2eleven somewhere
-
I'd like some FR3.5 praccy. ;)
-
OK, I've got the FR up at Zandvoort. 10 lap race.
-
Just did some laps in the FR3.5 at Zandvoort. Incredible! but stressful!! What is the target laptime?
-
I'll be away working again :(
A nice big steak will make up for it though :)
-
phwoaar! Did a few laps! Now that's intense! ;D
Really going to have to pull out all spidey senses to do anything more than 3 laps without coming off in a mass of carbon fibre and metal into the barriers :P
I think it'll be perfect for us to get some real real race practice in before the season starts... without it I think you'll be disadvantaged... just the reactions really need to be amped up way more than the last season... well if you aren't used to the car like me.
I just got under 1:30 for a lap... RSR says WR is around 1:22... that's nuts... :o
Are we running stracker on this server?

Only Marty and myself chose the Nismo but was a lot of fun. Had a few taps from behind in the first due to having to brake that much earlier than the BMW putting me from first place to last, but the other races had some very close fun racing.
Looking forward to trying the Renault around the same track 8)

Are you laughing at me because it's hard work Phil? ;D
Had an AC break over the long weekend, so will give it a try tonight.

i was having a giggle because i was the same, but oh my god I need some practice in this car to do more than a few laps without being in the wall

Oh dear... well I'll definitely be doing a few laps tonight. Maybe see you on there!

What time is it kicking off! Being in QLD I need to get dinner and all ready and done and I know now I have an hour less to get my stuff sorted :o
-
Praccy is 6:30, qually is now 7:30 QLD time. ;)
-
Well I'm glad we had that last night... next season will be pretty full on!
I think it was Bacchulum who said it about consistency... very tough...
If I can stay on the track for the whole race, I'd be willing to forgo 1-2 seconds off my PB time...
;D
-
yes, I need to learn not to try and do qualy laps every lap and settle down a bit :)

Hah yes I was doing the same last night, pushing too hard in the race. First race I did I spun off and wrecked the car in the first lap, and second race I was doing well for 5 laps keeping up with the lead pack only to make the smallest of errors not braking quite enough into one of the corners and wrecked the car again.
What's the deal with the car pulling away in 1st? The first time I tried this car it was very slow to get going from a standstill it you just put it in 1st and tried to pull away. Last Tuesday it wasn't like this at all, I could just put it into 1st and pull away without any issue, even though Wally mentioned the slow start for him on TS. Last night it was back to being slow to pull away again. Can't work out why last week it pulled away like any other car. Makes the start pretty difficult as you have to get the revs pretty high before popping into 1st and I either spin the wheels or the revs drop off and I get a shit start.
-
couldn't have put it better myself Phil!! :P
The starts were hard - first one I jagged - have the revs up around 6k and then I plays with the throttle wheel spinning until I got grip...
2nd one I tried using the clutch - I think this one is more forgiving, but needs practice as you have to feed clutch out as well as pop it into 1st gear.
-
I'm glad it was fun. I deliberately chose one of the harder tracks.

That's going to be the key, I think. Take a bit of pace off to get consistency. It should be interesting... there will be rewards for pushing a bit harder, if you're willing to take the risk.

Going back to my comment about the car being sluggish to pull away in first. At one point in a qually session I spun into the gravel with no damage, but I couldn't get the car to move out of the gravel. Trying to pull away just didn't work, and putting it in neutral, giving some revs and shifting up didn't work either. After 5-6 attempts I retired to the pits.
I'm unsure if it's a bug as I definitely didn't have this with the car last week.

Is it maybe the car and the gravel... like when real cars get stuck in the sand trap? :)

Yeah, but the sluggish start thing even on tarmac didn't happen to me last week, and I can't see why.

I got fought out in race 2 when following close behind another car and lost front end grip when I didn't expect it. Went off into the wall. Is the aero downforce affected when following a car?
-
I had good, if intense, fun last night.
I still haven't even pushed for a qual lap yet, just working on consistency.
Kept it on the black stuff all night (except for when a lapped car shunted me off! :P)

I'm not sure about that yet.
-
I think it is, sure felt like it when following close,
