The very best of luck though! Looks like it will be a fast race :D Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|buzinator on April 20, 2010, 11:51:56 AM Put a hot lap in!
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|Lumacor on April 20, 2010, 12:14:05 PM Got a setup I can steal? :P
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|buzinator on April 20, 2010, 12:15:27 PM Not personally ... perhaps start with a monza one?
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|Lumacor on April 20, 2010, 12:17:21 PM I don't have any at all at the moment. What with the install / reinstall fiasco.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|buzinator on April 20, 2010, 12:18:44 PM well, you should have the default SimBin ones right? Just as a starting point it might be usable...
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: bpbriles on April 20, 2010, 05:23:46 PM I uploaded my work in progress.
F3000 test V3 is the file. With the AI @ 98% I am running up front in practice. Running in the 1m12's when fuel is low. I have a really hard time starting from scratch on a setup, so this may be a step in the wrong direction for you.

ChITty - 1:10.024 Buzinator - 1:10.955 Bretware - 1:10.963 Bpbriles - 1:12.481 Cawdor - 1:14.570 Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|buzinator on April 21, 2010, 06:42:55 AM wow ... thought i'd be much further off the pace.
Haven't figured out a good rear suspension setup for that huge bump in Stowe yet ... anyone found a way to get through that without getting too out of shape? Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|ChITty on April 21, 2010, 06:48:04 AM Clinching buttcheeks and closing my eyes has worked for me.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|buzinator on April 21, 2010, 06:58:32 AM I'm pretty sure i was doing that ... I'll try doing so harder i guess.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|ChITty on April 21, 2010, 08:28:44 AM Well, what I've really been doing is downshifting to 5th upon entry, then downshifting to 4th right about when I come to that bump. My ass end majorly kicks out, but it seems I'm able to wrestle control back doing that and I blast exit the corner in 4th.
I still have to tweak my race setup to allow for something similiar. Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|buzinator on April 21, 2010, 08:40:30 AM I've been riding through in 5th ... I'll give that a try and see what happens.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on April 21, 2010, 10:34:51 AM Guys I can not make tonights race. Something has come up.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|buzinator on April 21, 2010, 10:39:06 AM Bummer - hope everyone's alright.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: Ezeon on April 21, 2010, 11:29:23 AM I got back yesterday morning so I'll be there tonight! Have not practiced at all but hopefully ill get some laps in later today.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on April 21, 2010, 12:18:31 PM Bummer - hope everyone's alright. just life..... :-\ Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: bpbriles on April 21, 2010, 02:36:14 PM "Well, what I've really been doing is downshifting to 5th upon entry, then downshifting to 4th right about when I come to that bump.

This is exactly how I have come to deal with the "bump". Could'nt have worded it any better. Are you running through the last chicane in 3rd or 4th? 3 for me. But how in the hell are you getting those times!! What is everybodys race pace @? I guess I need to learn how to set up a hotlap car.

I guess I need to learn how to set up a hotlap car. I was doing it in 4th for awhile until I figured out that 3rd was actually faster for me. The difference for me between hot lap and race running is the vents or whatever and the ride height. Otherwise everything is baically the same. I might add a click of wing for the race tonight to manage the weight better. Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|buzinator on April 21, 2010, 02:47:39 PM I have no clue what my race pace will be. I also will prob just open the ductwork and lift it a bit ... and add fuel of course.
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: bpbriles on April 21, 2010, 03:21:00 PM My hotlaps are done on race setup with light fuel. I don't even mess with the ducts anymore. I need to put more time into hotlaps.
I want to pick your brains on ride height tonight, that is another area that I don't mees with too much. Thanks for the info and talk to you all tonight. Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|buzinator on April 21, 2010, 03:54:58 PM LoL ... I just saw that post from Ez ... awesome dude. I'm sure several of us will have setups we can throw your way during the evening.
Note to ALL : Race Length will be 40 Laps Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|buzinator on April 22, 2010, 05:55:58 AM Congrats Cawdor!
Title: Re: Season 7 - Round 2 - Silverstone 79 Post by: rip|ChITty on April 22, 2010, 07:39:10 AM Well done Cawdor! From the little of the replay I watched you had some nice passes (and spins ;))
