Okayama International Circuit

Okayama International Circuit began life under a different name as an interesting experiment in racing circuit management. In the late 1980s, golf course magnate Hajime Tanaka wondered if the country club model which was the backbone of the golfing industry could be applied to motorsport venues...

A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Casper going for the balls of eagle trophy this week I see

@Enzo Fazzi @eN1xes

Did you guys spend much time on the setup, to try and improve the traction, or just wing it? Reckon it would be worth spending time at or is it just how it is with the viper?

 

[eN1xes]

no i always test things on the official practice before the race but the weekend with the viper i wasnt able to do the practice only the qualy and i broke the entire default setup by putting 80% on coast and high wings wasnt able to do a single corner understeer like no tomorrow and when i was trying to open the gas the car was a wild horse

Oh that's a bad combo! I guess it will be tricky to setup if it also has an understeer issue.

At least the potential is still there to make a setup that works

I just picked a car that looked pretty and nobody else was driving!

You gotta have some variation right?!

Didn't spend too much time on that setup either, it has about as much traction as you'll get out of it. That V10 engine has a lot of torque, some wheelspin is inevitable.

I have been working on the setup for the Saleen. By softening the front I am able to get rid of some of the understeer. Also playing with the toe in helps. Its a work in progress. I just want a car I can drive for an hour without to many trips on the grass!

That is definitely the goal with these cars! Though I've been way too deep into Grand Prix Legends and other 60's F1 cars in AMS2 recently so I kinda like the back end to be slippy and slidey.

Thanks for the tip Pat, tried the Saleen today and struggling with front end. And yeah, ditto the bolded bit

In case you hav't done a pitstop with these. The tyres swap fast, but the fuel fills really slow. Worth a practice stop

 

[Partick Eaton]

I plan to run full fuel with a splash top up and tires.

Thanks for the warning Brian, will try a pit stop later

When I tested this a few times before you can get 18l l of fuel in during the tyre change window. Thats with the Saleen.

Thanks Tim, just tried with 25ltrs and was 2 - 3 seconds over the tyre change so that makes sense

Tyres are 'interesting' with this beastie. softs showing 6 laps useful life, meds 10 and hards for 20...

The mediums lasted ok for a one stop at barcelona. Should be similar here.. They wear fast at first and then steady out. Could be why the app is saying 6 laps. Protyres? The most difficult laps are around 4 or 5 in when you still have the big fuel load, traffic is heavy and the grippier outer layer has been scrubbed off the tyres. My feel of it anyway!

 

[Medilloni]

It was Pro tyres Brian, hope the mediums last 'cos the hards are really hard work!
