Cars Formula 79 by Race Sim Studio

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

there they talk about speeds, the commentarist , it's in german, 280km/h (zwei hundert achtzig) is what they reached at T1 (at minute 11.50 mark starts commenting on every corner speed almost)

240 @ curva grande
260 @ 2nd chicane
180 @ lesmo 1
210 @ lesmo 2
120 on the chicane
160 @ parabolica entering, and 180 exit speed

 

[David Dominguez]

That's something is he talking about the Lotus 79? Or is he giving generic speeds?

 

[Qazdar Karim]

Please add a S1 version in the next release with 340kph top speed !!!

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

That's something is he talking about the Lotus 79? Or is he giving generic speeds?

I only undestand the numbers, since learned german at school. The lotus was on pole though it could be just generic speeds.

 

[schnipp]

Das ist die erste Kurve, aus 280 km/h müssen die Autos heruntergebremst werden.

Which translates to:
This is the first turn, from 280 km/h the cars need to slow down.


It sounds like generic speeds.

 

[Albert McSaltens]

Layout was different.

layout was diferent but the straights were long as today

 

[Albert McSaltens]

Please can you provide evidence? Also not about "those cars" but about this one specifically.

i have no data but if you watch the races, you'll see the speeds, secondly the comentators say the speeds they do, although not very accurate. Also go check iracing car see its topspeeds

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

@schnipp thanks
please translate here, he calls the speed at paul ricard in practice session, 290 KM/h Lauda, 283 KM/h Andretti If I get it right. It's the longest straight probably in the F1 78 calendar, 1.8km,

minute 3.10

 

[Tom Blackett]

Not sure who is right here guys but the car does feel very slow down the straight to me also.

 

[David Dominguez]

But he mentioned laptime.

Well, so far from the video posted above in german, your estimates were wrong by 10-20 kmh.

About iRacing, like I said yesterday their spring rates are way way way stiffer than what I found in setup sheets ... if you know what I mean...

 

[Dave_6]

480 crank horsepower = 418 to the wheels. Not hard to understand if you know about drivetrain friction loss.

Top speeds:
Lauda 290
Peterson 285
Scheckter 284
Andretti 283


Also he talks about over 300 km/h being possible with a (near?) flat wing, but you'd loose too much time in the turns then.


Edit: Although a 1.8km long straight is quite a bit longer than Monza.
That would be more like Döttinger Höhe on the Nordschleife until the Tourist parking lot. (roughly)

I'm interested to know that, since one of the topspeeds I gave earlier is from that track

Iracing car does 286kmh at monza without knowing wich aero the guy runs

the 75lotus from kunos and 49 both are quicker on the striaghts at monza, doubt the ground effect car went down on topspeed, i think it would be more resonable to be able to get similar topspeed as in iracing

 

[Totemdriver]

Top speeds:
Lauda 290
Peterson 285
Scheckter 284
Andretti 283

Also lotus passed on straight and kept brabham behind while he had slipstream.
Care to share your data sheets? What fuel is it set? Race or quali?

 

[schnipp]

I just quoted the part in the video that Leonardo linked. I don't have data sheets.

He only says 'Top speeds from practice', but I guess that would be qualifying.

 

[Eric Rowland]

Try the Monza1988 track by carrera4 from the 1988 F1 mod. That version of Monza has the double chicane on the front straight which more closely resembles what they were running in 1978.

 

[A3DR]

Updated wing animations to work with the setup tabs, 12° front:

3 position rear:

Also fixed rear light now blinks on pits, and turns on for bad weather. Can be turned on and off manually as well, no more brake light

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

My driving sucks but this car drives and sounds so awesome! (Quite a handful on a dust covered Laguna Seca)

 

[ivo63]

Certainly it's different aha chicane instead of double ... so it must be even faster
Needless to keep talking ... the mod has most bugs its need to rework
