Title: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|buzinator on June 01, 2009, 11:19:28 AM Ok Chumps ... let's see what you got ...
This is the "National" variation of Le Circuit de Nevers ... 2.684km in length. The track is short-circuited between the entrance of the Adelaide Hairpin and the exit of Chateau d'Eau. You'll ride a lumpy chicane and find yourself rapidly approaching Lycee. (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Circuit_de_Nevers_Magny-Cours.svg/800px-Circuit_de_Nevers_Magny-Cours.svg.png) Deadline for this track is 3:00am (Eastern), Tuesday June 9th.

Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on June 03, 2009, 07:02:25 AM cool
I need to find a setup i like Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|buzinator on June 03, 2009, 08:11:43 AM I'll attach mine to a forum post when I get a chance.

It'd suck to lose to someone by 1 point at the end of season if you didn't! Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on June 04, 2009, 06:41:10 AM both of you went 4-off when you caught AIR. All 4 wheels left the asphalt!!!!

Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|Bretware on June 04, 2009, 11:29:39 AM Wondering what the dead line is and if you can only post one lap?
Thanks, Bretware Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|ChITty on June 04, 2009, 11:59:59 AM There's no limit on the number of attempts. Just keep posting them if you got em'. The next TotW will be posted on Monday.
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|buzinator on June 04, 2009, 12:52:57 PM Wondering what the dead line is... This info is in the Original post...

While this is true, we do also have jobs etc, lol ... so I'd ask everyone to please be kind to your admins, reviews & generating vids etc takes time ;) Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: toadly on June 05, 2009, 04:11:01 PM Sorry if I missed this earlier, but this is a point just for participation and *not* necessarily for fastest lap right? No mandatory settings? Just give it your best, post a vid and get a point, yeah?! Yeah!

Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|buzinator on June 05, 2009, 06:19:05 PM here's the setup I used to get the 50.9sec. It's still a work in progress and may not suit everybody's style but it's an option if you want to try it...

Would solve a lot of headaches.

Would solve a lot of headaches. so explain to me the difference between jumping in the air with all four wheel off the ground an cutting the chicane (with two wheels on the track) yeah like your car getting airborne and still continuing to race in F1 would really happen.... anyways no big deal...i redid the lap and still beat everyones time...so no headache Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|Bretware on June 06, 2009, 10:41:13 PM 49.963, maybe no good

Bretware Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|Kalian on June 06, 2009, 11:05:57 PM NICE BRET!
Also, do I have to put in a time, as I don't have much a chance to chase the perfect lap this week? Or can I just use whatever time I got on the few runs the other night? Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|buzinator on June 07, 2009, 08:50:50 AM so explain to me the difference between jumping in the air with all four wheel off the ground an cutting the chicane (with two wheels on the track) ... F1 cars DO get air on occasion and continue to drive (eg, final chicane @ Montreal, or GP's held at the Nordschleife back in the day) ... THIS is not F1 ... Two wheels on the road is not a cut ... We count the track boundaries in the horizontal, but not the vertical. There are very few situations where one has an opportunity to get airborne and when they do arise it generally will be something that affects everyone relatively equally. Corner cutting is something that is almost infinitely more possible and does NOT tend to affect everyone equally...hence the cutting definition, an attempt to make it clear what is considered equal. Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|buzinator on June 07, 2009, 09:00:06 AM 49.963, maybe no good Looks good to me! Crazy ass lap man. Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|buzinator on June 07, 2009, 09:08:01 AM Also, do I have to put in a time, as I don't have much a chance to chase the perfect lap this week? Or can I just use whatever time I got on the few runs the other night? In order to get a participation point, folks need to declare a time in this thread. The whole week is a free practice session, not fussy about whether it was from Wed, Sat, or whatever..just post a time, whatever time you got. Ideally with a VCR file either attached, downloadable or emailed to myself or Chitty for verification. Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|Kalian on June 07, 2009, 03:06:27 PM Gotcha.
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|buzinator on June 08, 2009, 08:26:58 AM c'mon - let's see some times guys ... you only have until 3am (eastern, midnight pacific) to post your time in this thread.
this is the easiest point you'll earn all season! I'll keep this track running on the server throughout the day today and after the Sepang race tonight...although we will accept times from single-player sessions too. Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|ChITty on June 08, 2009, 08:29:10 AM c'mon - let's see some times guys ... you only have until 3am (eastern, midnight pacific) to post your time in this thread. this is the easiest point you'll earn all season! I'll keep this track running on the server throughout the day today and after the Sepang race tonight...although we will accept times from single-player sessions too. Could you move the time and videos from my post to your OP? Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: rip|Kalian on June 08, 2009, 10:49:34 AM ~53 secs. Plus 20 secs for 4 off on the chicane. No time to do this today and prolly tomorrow. Spent a fucking hour doing this on practice before noticing that it wiped all my replays when I would restart.
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 2 - Magny-Cours National Post by: toadly on June 08, 2009, 11:05:26 AM I spent a couple hours Friday night on this track. My fastest times were in the 52 second range. My replays were all fuckerfied as well so I deleted them all. I'll try and run a lap tonight after the race. It's highly unlikely I'll even come close the fastest lap...but I'll try and post none the less. Thanks for the reminder guys.
