Mazda 787B @ Spa-Francorchamps

[Joco Gorenc]

Just have no idea what to do with this car so any suggestions maybe?

 

[Diogo Ramalho]

Hy Joco,

Try this and tell me about it (this is the settings that in my opinion change more the behaviour of the car):

Front Wing - 7
Rear Wing - 22
Front Camber - -34
Power - 28
Coast - 30
Brake Bias - 61
ARB Front - 4
ARB Rear - 4

Times?

 

[Diogo Ramalho]

Whit those settings I post above (whit probably a few adjustments on suspension, don't know exacly what I have changed to be honest) I have manage to do a 1.16.200

 

[Rui Santos]

1.16 @ spa??? Your car must have 10 turbo's or something

And i've done 2:09.4xx yesterday with default setup...

 

[Diogo Ramalho]

Lol you are righ... 2.06.200...... 1.16.. where did I get that time from!??

 

[Rui Santos]

Ahh ok, that was a great time it's more than 3 seconds to mine and i did perfect lap, it's default setup but i'm not properly a noob either... strange...

 

[Diogo Ramalho]

Try those settings and tell me your opinion.

 

[Rui Santos]

No gear changes?

 

[Diogo Ramalho]

I think the gears were untouched... so the top speed might be 325 Km\h

Did you test those settings?

 

[Rui Santos]

Ok, i'll try that next year

 

[Rui Santos]

I've tested those settings, no change in laptimes, all around 2:09.xxx still don't get how you've done that time of 2:06. Are you using track limits? Aids on?

 

[Diogo Ramalho]

Yes Rui, I'm using the track limits and no aids. I even manage to do 2:05.900 and I think I can go faster. Try to reduce suspension height and reduce the spring force, it might help. There is one thing that might be doing all the diference and it is how fast you change the gear.

A few days ago I was racing with @Jorge Alves and with the same setup I was being mutch more fast. It was very strange.... We came to the conclusion that it was related to how fast you change gears. Jorge was very smooth and never damage is gearbox while I was pushing the engine to the limits and being very demanding with the gearbox (after a long race my gearbox is all yelow\red).

 

[Rui Santos]

Well, anyway that's impressive, changing gears with paddles is not that slow, but almost 4 seconds seems too much for me even if it's that...

 

[Diogo Ramalho]

Im using H shifter and clutch pedal. When I get home I will try to find you on steam and schedule a session just to show you how I do it.

 

[Rui Santos]

I don't know if i'll be playing AC today, do you have a replay file? Cheers!

 

[Diogo Ramalho]

Sorry, no. I will be at home just on sunday night.

 

[Rui Santos]

Ok, we talk then Stay well mate.
