Reserve, please
Not a problem mate. I hope all is well, and that we shall see you back soon.Sorry Daiman but I'm going to have to sign out.
I have added you to the list! As I said to @Pauli Ahonen, I anticipate there being a few vacant spots for tonight's event as a result of absentees, so join us on the server and TeamSpeak, and we shall see if you can get on track.Reserve, please
I'm sorry to hear that Matt - I shall remove you from the list. Hopefully we'll see you again next week.Really sorry Daiman something has come up, please give my slot to a reserve! Have fun guys!
I shall remove you from the list. See you next time.Uuuuh... I'm out, long day at Beach.
Sorry for doing what i did @Jani1980
Rolling start did not work out again, leading driver was accelerating way before the green light. We are supposed to stay at 80 or 100km/h?! Anyway track is way to small for this size of a grid, atleast qualy should have been a private session.
Is this how real tires behave, 2-3 decent laps and i had to slow down with overheating tires, we only had 25°C track temp .. during summer tracks reach 50°C but the real gte cars are not cruising around?
Yeah the pressure vs. grip is certainly not in the right ballpark. And a correction to what I said on TS regarding tyre temps. I just trusted what SImHub dash was showing me but it is not correct. I just recently switched over to using it and didn't notice the issue until now.Is this how real tires behave, 2-3 decent laps and i had to slow down with overheating tires, we only had 25°C track temp .. during summer tracks reach 50°C but the real gte cars are not cruising around?
Tire pressure is totally wrong in this, talked to other fast guys and lowest pressure is the ideal pressure in rf2 (140kpa/1,4bar). The optimal working pressure for gte cars in real life is 2,2bar. We only reached something like 1,86bar max. When i tried raising the pressure (reached 2,2 after 3-4 laps), car feels worse lower grip level and sluggish.

Let me guess, you stayed "in the middle" to force Miguel to brake on the marbles/dirt? Which is fine imo. Miguel of course tried to get as much on the grippy line as possible and didn't see that you were so close to him.

Looking at temps with Motec the rears do start to (over)heat quickly. I do personally like that you can't just load the qualy setup for race and be fine. Though maybe in a 20 min race you shouldn't have such issues so quickly... but I think many of us were also using softs... but also people with mediums said the same thing about the heating.
The car does have TC which will help with the rears but apparently also slows you down somewhat fast the higher you set TC. Which to me sounds like the right relationship with overheating vs. speed.
I don't know how the tyres are irl regarding GTE cars so can't comment on whether softs are only qualy tyres or what.
But as I said already I like that you can't just load the qualy setup and do a race pushing hard on the tyres and not have to change a thing. Adjusting driving style, changing brake bias, TC... they all make for a more interesting race imo.
