Yeah, I changed quite a bit. I ended up gaining a sec a lap

Well, you would have been fast as hell even without that extra second eheh
Could you share the setup ? maybe 'd learn something out of that. thanks

As I said above, all you have to do for a drive-through penalty is drive through the pits. If you stop then that isn't a drive through is it? That's a stop-and-go. Hence it will not count towards the drive-through penalty.

The problem is that I didn't want to pit but the car pited on her own. Did I miss something about manual pit because I didn't find any such option?
And then when I exited the pit, crewchief told me that I still had to clear my DT.
I guess I had to select it in the pit options like Bob did but I didn't realize there was this option, my bad.

Sure, here you go. Dont go below 2nd gear anywhere and only use 2nd for the tight hairpins, otherwise use 3rd for all the medium speed corners. Use 5th in T1. T4 should be flat or near flat. The BB is not an error, it stops and turns in better that way. TC on 2.
Fresh out of the pits it should do low 18's from the second lap onwards. Later in the stint it'll do 17's. Tires will be around 20% life when fuel runs out, any more and they drop off too much. 2 stop race.
Edit: just noticed my qually lap was 1.1 sec faster than the fastest time on the official leaderboard, so it definately works. For qual, just dump the fuel.

Brilliant Jan, thank you so much for the setup and extra advice.

Yes, you missed it. The option is in the settings menus.

Hi all
Sylvain

• I also had my pit stop set to automatic.
• As I pointed out before. for a DT I found if I had penalty in the Pit Stop menu highlighted green, the AI would simply drive through and clear the penalty
• However if penalty was NOT green, the AI thinks, as Ross pointed out that you want to make a pit stop and will automatically stop refuel etc.

I hope this helps.
Best wishes
Bob

Hi Yes it was a shame you missed it. It was lots of fun. Jan was extremely impressive. He lapped me even before I made my first pit stop. With my extended pit stop/drive through malarkey, I think he lapping me 5-6 times, I think he would have lapped me 4-5 even without my extended pit visit.

Best wishes
Bob

 

[Noctam]

Yeah, I saw the quali time and there was some strong competition indeed! But then screwing the start big time (I really have to stop switching between paddle and pedal clutch) and not finding a way to do the DT, I just gave up!

Definitely more stable than my setup, maybe I would not have had that one spin and made my way back up to 3rd .

I messed up my start and was almost last by turn 1. By the end of life of my medium tires I made up the 14 seconds to Steve as he was struggling with worn out tires. We both pitted at the same time, I took hards and enough fuel to make it to the end of the race. I don't know what Steve did on his pitstop besides strapping a jet engine to his car, he blew by me never to be seen again.
I put a set of softs on for the last 15 laps and almost caught Claes for third, thought I had 2 more laps to catch him, but saw the checkered flag come out....duh! oh yeah Jan was 2 laps ahead

Amazing setup Jan, feels like another car! I usually mess a lot w/ setups (with poor results...) and this time i resolved not to do it , just changed very few things from default. Yours, on the other hand, changed a LOT, and boy it feels (and drives) great, so much so that it achieved a kind of a miracle!! #1 in the LB! (I know you are not there yet eheh)
So I'll enjoy that for now and drink a beer on you Jan!
Cheers

Damn you!

I know it will be for a few hours only... but breaking that 1.18'' barrier down felt really good. Again, credit to Jan's setup, amazing feeling all over the track.
In the race i just couldnt brake with confidence at any time, I locked tyres seeeveeral times, a nightmare in fact (I had hards, but non the less, the car was unbalanced and weird). On Jan's setup, for me, its almost like a ballet dancing through those Algarve hills (Im a lousy dancer but my ex was a ballet teacher so I know what Im talking about ehehe).
Go there KO and show me my place (and Im expecting Calvyn will not take to long to do just that )

I tried, that's all I have.

Glad you (all) like it, just goes to show you can have a good car if you put time and effort into trying (and failing) before you reach something that works
For future races, forget about using medium or hards, they suck. Especially when softs would do a third of the distance making them an easy choice for a 2 stopper.
