AMS2 Ginetta G40 cupcar @ Nurnburgring Sprint - Wednesday, March 16th

[Guido Trampe]

Lets all ride into the dark with this great car. Starting at the evening we will drive our cars into the night enjoying the great day night transition in AMS2. Bind a key to switch on the lights

Fast enough, loud enough and very agile the Ginetta will make you feel like driving a beast of a car. Proven format to many close combat races we will start the sunset sessions with the GT4 icon.
Total race time will be an hour with accelarated tyre and fuel wear. Be prepared to do a pitstop!

Whether you are a rookie racer or a seasoned veteran our casual club races are for everyone and every skill level. We combine fun events with discord chatter and a warm welcome to all our premium members.

Be aware guys! Tyrewear is x3 this time Just so @Redvaliant and @max1966i wil have a hard time cheating us out of a pitstop .

 

[max1966i]

I'll just avoid all the corners... I'm in.

 

[Guido Trampe]

@ehudl @Redvaliant @Kees Veenstra @Reiche you guys in?

 

[Redvaliant]

You can put me down as a Maybe*. I'll know on Wednesday.

 

[ehudl]

I am in.

 

[Reiche]

That should work, I’m in

It’s the small Cup car again, isn’t it?

 

[Guido Trampe]

Its the G40 indeed. Not the G55 (GT4). More close racing this way and suitable for all levels. I like also that only limited items can be changed in the setup

 

[Reiche]

Okay, with 3x tyre wear there’s a huge drop off after 40 or 45 minutes or so, wasn’t able to get within like 2 seconds and more of my fastest lap so far - being pretty consistent until then. Fuel is marginal, I ran out of fuel on the final lap, last corner, 60 minutes against AI (maybe there would have been one more lap if I made it across the finish line before cars drove past me, guess the leaders were among them and I was lapped again) - didn’t change engine mixture to anything but 1.0 though.

Final drive 3.865 was working quite well without getting into the rev limit, I might try one click longer during practice and see how it works.

 

[Guido Trampe]

Nice. Thanks for the update. Any others working on their setup and want to share?

 

[Reiche]

Running everything default apart from final drive setting so far.

 

[Guido Trampe]

@nepal roade your joining us tommorow?

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Hi @Guido Trampe - I normally cannot make the Wednesday races, but I am free this evening. Can I take a spot please? I probably will not have time to practice prior to the event, so any tips on pit strategy would be very much welcome!

 

[Guido Trampe]

Yes you can. Welcome! Just change tyres and fill up the tank and you will be good. I Usualy take a bit more fuel than AMS predicts. The prediction is very thight

 

[ehudl]

I was disconnected from the server after my pit stop. Probably a bug in the netCode

 

[GeekyDeaks]

Thanks for organising @Guido Trampe ! I really enjoyed the handling of the cars, although it took me most of the race before I got the hang of not shifting back into 3rd for the final chicane! I'll remember the pit stop bug for future.

 

[Guido Trampe]

Nice Scott. See you next week. Remember. It will be Thursday and with a little more HP

 

[Reiche]

Targeting 1.9 bar as „hot“ pressure worked not so bad doing a quick test, albeit different conditions (test session, weather/time of day default) and not having any numbers from yesterday in mind, neither „hot“ pressures nor temperatures.

I wasn’t ultimately faster than last night, but I didn’t push too much right now and I’m driving on single screen right now, compared to VR in the race - considering my VR times yesterday have been considerably faster than my single screen times from the test run the day before (although that was with more fuel on board).

Too many variables for proper results, but I guess going for 1.9ish bar hot is definitely the right direction. 1,75 bar front, 1,78 bar rear in the pits for now.
