iTCC Round 3 - Pre race discussion

[snoring_snoopy]

Hi there!

The next round is at the (i think so) best known circuit in LFS: BLACKWOOD GP. I am sure everyone of us started his LFS career here ;)

Here is the place you can discuss this round, keep it clean :thumb:

[Rikje]

what times are you guys currently driving? Splits?

[J@tko]

High 23s and v high 52s/low 53s [or is it high 53s and low 54s :schwitz:] then mid 13s for the lap. Will hopefully get close to the 12s before the race :)

Really looking forward to this - my tyres will last the race yay!

Good, you won't cause chaos with a blowout this time! :D

Yea, this is gonna be an exciting race :)

[Hypothraxer]

1:13.2x so far - but my setup is too slow on the straight (231 km/h compared to the 238 km/h in the CTRA record).

It was wind btw, i am getting 1.12.5s (23.57, 52.49) with race set/fuel.

[rc10racer]

Got bored so started to do some hottlaping, did 2 laps on the fly best was 1.12.47 but if i combined all my best sectors (23.36, 28.88, 20.07) i could of done 1.12.27 but who care's.

[Joe_Keaveney]

I try to do some some practice even though obviously I never race - I can't even get close to that:really:

I think we've managed to create a series that only serves to make me feel more hopeless at driving than I already felt. :D

Still, sounds like you'll be right at the front with pace like that :thumb:

[Rikje]

Damn, your 1st split is pretty sick rc10racer! Best I've done was 23.49 :-/

[rc10racer]

Abit better shame on the first split being so poo.

[Hypothraxer]

It was wind btw

That explains a lot :)

I did a 1:12.75 with 23.53, 52.52 splits - I guess that's not enough for the shootout.

[travyd]

Almost into the 11s, 1:12.01! :) I didn't realise how much gearing could affect the balance of the car.

[GTR_Yuni]

1:14.11 with 30 kg ballast, I'm sure I can find another two seconds on that main straight, but I'm too scared to change downforce values (grip is a big issue for me).

[travyd]

i'm using 13/1 wings if that helps

[pacesetter]

i'm using 13/1 wings if that helps

I did a bit of testing, and for me, I ran at 12/1 wings, but then decided I was stopping LFS for the day, :D. Doesnt really matter though cos i'm not even competing :D

[Fuse5]

without ballast, 1:12.86 on the first run. Setup needs dem tweeks. 23,74 and 52.53 splits, judging by the splits posted here, lost 0,3 s due to understeer :D

[J@tko]

Binned my old setup and started again.

Got a 1.12.71 [23.6;53.7] :)

I hope to get a low 1.12 by quali. At least I havn't got to go through the shootouts :tilt:

And ma race set is nice too - get low 1.13s :)

As always, looking forward to race day!

Thank you for letting us know.
See you at round 4 :thumb:

[CSF]

Not sure if I will make it or not.. Will be quite tight getting back for Reserve shootout as I am away all weekend 2hours from my house, and I am not leaving for home until 2-2.30 pm so... hmmm not sure. Hope to make it...

[GTR_Yuni]

Using 95% FWD drive helped a lot with my consistency, but now I can barely hit 1:14.

[hyntty]

Right... I found the car to handle quite well with 37% :scratchch

[Jadran]

Unfortunatly I cant make this race. I will be working. Sorry. :(
Also :weeping:
I have some job and I will not get to race (shootout), sorry :(
