AC GT3 @ Watkins Glen - Sunday 10th May 2020

@markg88

I have a setup for Watkins Glen for a 911, it is very stable, almost impossible to loose the back.

Sounds too good to be true, Ernie. I'm very interested because I failed to achieve that in my '911' days.

 

[markg88]

How can I not accept Ernie.. great stuff, would love your setup! I doubt I'm the only one who would like to see it.

 

[Kek700]

My record for setup's is not very good, most don't like them.
But in my defence, they always are good for me, the only proviso is, if I need some more pace and @Medilloni post
a set up for the same car , I pinch his front setup, keeping my arse in tact.
Unfortunately it is not always that simple, as it's usually a balancing act for the front and back both mechanically and aero.

Excuses over/

Setup for 60min race 1 litre of fuel. check fuel allowance I have made as it is for how I drive.

Couldn't resist a play with these Ernie, wow, first time I've ever had confidence in the porker, thank you!

I must give them a go. I liked the gt4 porsche at road america. I found the big brother gt3 very wild when i tried it after at red bull. Only done a few laps, it was a liability on the kerby exits. Once that heavy boot heads for the wall your having a bad time.

 

[Kek700]

Thanks for that John, I normally run a lot less wing at the back and balance the front.
But this circuit really does punish that formula.

 

[markg88]

Thanks a lot for the files Ernie. Appreciated. Unusual for drivers to give away secrets

 

[Kek700]

Your more than welcome Mark, just don’t beat me.

All of these are possible with the temps we'll be running at. Which is best mostly just depends on how well you can manage the soft temps, or push the mediums, and how much you expect track position to factor in

Puh.. I need an race engineer

 

[Zeljko "Goose" Gusatovic]

I don't think I'll be able to make it in time tomorrow. My spot is available.

 

[markg88]

Is there a time by which a car decision must be made?

 

[Kek700]

if you can drive it, the 911 is a good bet, it can run mediums all the way, with good lap times , low fuel consumption.

my Nissan needs a fuel tanker in tow just for one lap.

 

[markg88]

OK, thanks Ernie, I'll have a go with the 911. I'll use of the skins that come with the car and whatever number that comes with.

 

[640er]

@Chris Down I would like to switch to an Audi please

hape

 

[HF2000]

Your more than welcome Mark, just don’t beat me.

Great setup, Ernie. After 3 laps I was already faster then with the R8. And more important, it gave me confidence in the 911. Now thinking of switching....
