Title: Track of the Week - Round 1 - Curitiba Post by: rip|ChITty on May 25, 2009, 12:07:49 AM I propose that we do a fast lap comparison on one track per week. The nice thing about this is that we don't all have to be on at the same time and GTRe records the laps so we can easily share the replays (unlike GRID). This will also provide an opportunity to check out some many many tracks in the game as well has maybe finding some good car setups for them.
Curitiba (http://bmw-motorsport.com/ms/images/de/races/wtcc/circuits/curitiba.gif) Times (F3000): 1. Kav - 1:09.016 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfhnlzAKTtE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfhnlzAKTtE) 2. Kalian - 1:09.501 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naBaai1bglU) 3. ChITty - 1:09.520 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-flUV9VUxo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-flUV9VUxo) 4. Buz - 1:09.604 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X8cUQ6qXJQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X8cUQ6qXJQ) Lets see what you ladies have got! My car settings Front Splitter: 24 Springs: 286 Camber: -4.0 Ride Height: 1.299 Rear Springs: 482 Camber: -3.0 Ride Height: 1.378 Overall Brakes: 2 Radiator Open: 2 Steering lock: 33 *All other settings at default. Kalian said everything was at default for him other than the splitter (24) and race fuel (around 3 laps I think) Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|buzinator on May 25, 2009, 11:31:47 AM 1:09.604
max wings, 3 clicks forward on the brake bias closed the radiator and brake ducts dropped the ride height, F 3.2, R 4.5 Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|Kalian on May 26, 2009, 06:19:37 AM Running alot hot on the left rear wheel after the 2 5's and the 4 at the end of the track, and during the real race we ran, was about an 8th below all the other wheels. Is there anything I can do other than drive less aggressive, to ease that wear?
Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 26, 2009, 07:08:42 AM LOL I take it there is no "4-off" rule ???
Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|buzinator on May 26, 2009, 07:12:40 AM @ Kalian
the first and easiest thing to try is adjusting your driving style. In the videos above, pause yours at 58sec and then Chitty's and mine at 59sec and compare. See where the car is in relation to the normal racing line? (http://www.whoopass-racing.com/files/buz/lines_curatiba1.png) For some reason when you exit the previous corner (~55sec) you depart from the racing line, cutting sharply across the track for a very early, tight entry. Pulling so hard to the right (and maintaining that through the corner as you accelerate out) can't be good for the left side tires. EDIT: Having replays to refer back to is so cool. Below I have superimposed Kal's car at the same corner as Chitty's ... the difference in lines is rather clear...

Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|ChITty on May 26, 2009, 10:16:20 AM That being said, my rear tires are all kinds of pretty colors after a few laps as well.
Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|buzinator on May 26, 2009, 10:22:54 AM I guess the next step is to try softening the springs slighty.
Or try moving brake bias forward and make sure you're not spinning the wheels when accelerating. Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 27, 2009, 01:34:20 PM I will try and get a lap up tonight.
Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|buzinator on May 27, 2009, 02:28:46 PM Server is setup for Curitiba Hotlaps.
Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 27, 2009, 02:46:00 PM I will be on tonight, maybe we can get a race in.
Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 27, 2009, 07:20:09 PM Chitty check your email!! I beat everyone's lap time! Woot!

I had a time that was .5 faster but the governing body disallowed it...farkers Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|buzinator on May 28, 2009, 01:57:08 PM Now is probably a good time to mention the $5,000 fine for speeding in the pit lane.

How'd you set up your car? Did you use Buz' training wheels? Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|buzinator on May 28, 2009, 02:11:48 PM (http://www.teamrip.net/files/buz/ItsOn.jpg)

I used the simbin f3000 setup with 4 laps of fuel. The hotlap was the third one i ran out on the 4th Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 28, 2009, 02:22:55 PM Now is probably a good time to mention the $5,000 fine for speeding in the pit lane. paypal to ripclanbuz at gmail dot com do you have proof? Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|buzinator on May 28, 2009, 02:26:51 PM it can be calculated, distance from your garage to the end of the pitlane divided by the time it took you to cover that distance.
Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 28, 2009, 02:28:18 PM it can be calculated, distance from your garage to the end of the pitlane divided by the time it took you to cover that distance. is there a video of said incident?

Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 28, 2009, 02:42:12 PM W O W Ok, you get a good job from me then if you did that with a default set up. thank you Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|ChITty on May 28, 2009, 02:44:11 PM thank you Buz now is suggesting that it's not with a default setup. Respond please. Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 28, 2009, 03:18:09 PM i guess i will check and see when i get home, i will let you know
Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on May 29, 2009, 06:39:35 AM ok i am a little upset that the game doesnt save your setup in the garage. I jump in the game last night started a single player event at our TOW and went to the garage and it had the default setup active.
So as far as I can tell I used one of these setups for my fast lap that I whooped ya'lls ass with: F3000 by Simbin 1;07-278 F3000 SBART Curibita 1054 B1 (buz is this your setup for BRNO?) Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curibita Post by: rip|buzinator on May 29, 2009, 06:52:18 AM The setups you see will be filtered by the car & track you are on at the time...so no, not my brno one.
and SAVE YOUR WORK ... like any program. :) Title: Re: GTRe Track of the Week - Curitiba Post by: rip|buzinator on May 31, 2009, 10:46:18 AM Are we done here?
I personally am prepared to concede to Kav and move on to the next TotW ... Magny-Cours National ...
