16h 2009 Balancing

[commandermas]

Because the balancing is always a problem, especially for such a long race, we have opened some Testservers:

16h GT1 Testserver
16h GT2 Testserver 1 and
16h GT2 Testserver 2

On these servers are different balancings set as a test. We ask you to drive as much laps as you can, so we have a good base to use the right balancing for this 16h race.

Which restrictions are used, you can only see on these servers, because they may change. The laptimes that were driven yet, you can view here (http://rm.digitalracingseries.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=145&Itemid=96).

i see GT1 and GT2 balancing but what about NGT? any news? UFR is about 1s faster per lap really..

[commandermas]

Nobody is forcing you to drive XFR :D

[Aid]

its not the attitude.. why bother than to ballance gtrs?:P

[Riel]

So no balancing between XFR / UFR?

Too bad, i like driving XFR more but battling against the ufr's is not going to happen.

[Gil07]

Same here, we made the choice to drive UFR even though I hate it...

[Aid]

yeah it would be great if xfr could directly challange ufr

[Riel]

Gil, for the sake of it, just choose xfr ;)

We could also battle the 'unofficial XFR' league then ;) :thumb:

[Hypothraxer]

While the UFR is faster, it's also easier to flip and its clutch is tricky. If I remember correctly, the XFR's were pretty strong last year, even though they were also slower.

[Gil07]

Nah, KY3 isn't too bad on the XFR I don't think

[commandermas]

UFR had Pole last year about 2 tenths below XFR WR but ConeDodgers XFR won.

thats just the facts :D

[DeadWolfBones]

Last year was on a very different track, however.

[Hypothraxer]

The XFR seems to be easier to drive though than the UFR (at least through the eau-rouge). I didn't test it much though because we decided on the UFR pretty early (there's nothing like a speeding Mini).

[Aid]

well eau-rouge can be done full throttle;) i call it cork screw:) yeah... well all it's matter of setup but in general in raw possible lap time ufr is good second faster and i assure you that ufr in hand of experienced drivers, and there will be many of them that day, will be pretty stable...

[BreadC]

UFR had Pole last year about 2 tenths below XFR WR but ConeDodgers XFR won.

thats just the facts :D

coz ConeDodgers was 1337 then xD

[Fuse5]

so was UFR pole :P

[manneF1]

Servers down?:shrug:

[commandermas]

there was just one server, so we removed the 1 :D

its now : 'RacingMinds 16h Train'

edit: yep there was a missing 'h'

[manneF1]

Oh,ok:)

[manneF1]

It seems there is that h behind 16:smileypul

[Hypothraxer]

so was UFR pole :P

Will you be joining the UFR-team again?

[Fuse5]

Will you be joining the UFR-team again?

Sorry, not this time :P
GT1 time :)

[Hypothraxer]

Sorry, not this time :P
GT1 time :)

Aww. I hoped I could bribe you into driving a little slower :p Troy is being awfully fast again!

[manneF1]

In GT2´s FZ2 is terebly slow when comparing with other cars:schwitz:

[Wilko868]

In GT2´s FZ2 is terebly slow when comparing with other cars:schwitz:
VERY true. FZ2 is almost a second slower than the fastest XR2s, we simply can't compete =/

[BreadC]

thats whole point they didnt want a whole field of fzr's. so now instead whole field of xrr and fxr

[manneF1]

Says the man who has got best time whit GT2´s in practise server ;)

What is the point then put FZ2 there?:shrug:

[Razvan]

If you put 1 and 1 toghether you will realise that FZ2, has its advantages... over the XR2 and FX2

FZ2, has little or almost no tolerance to flipping in any corner... the other cars do... and if your not carefull, a lot of bad things can happen.

FZ2 does not get stuck in the sand, where as the XR2 will get stuck in the sand, demanding a shift P.

FZ2 will have a more balanced tyre wear, where as FX2 will kill front tyres, forcing many teams to use R4s on the front.

So even if its a second slower... its got its advantages, which cand lead to winning the race...

Remember this isnt a 10 lap race, its probably a 500-600lap race a lot can happen...

Consistency wins the enduro race, not speed.

[vicbel]

The training server was a wrecker fest when I tried to do some laps today. A shame really.

[Riel]

While the UFR is faster, it's also easier to flip and its clutch is tricky. If I remember correctly, the XFR's were pretty strong last year, even though they were also slower.

Couldn't keep up, first XFR is 10 laps behind at least.

But 2nd XFR is great!
