Mike, I was on Q-Tyres!

You are David, that's why I threw the Lotus into the trash can

I think I am still luckier than trying to drive the Lambo or the Osellas that were left. Not sure about Footwork and Larrousse though, I am missing 1.5 seconds to the latter I guess

The question is how much you pray to the lords when entering the Eau Rouge with it

I can't drive on the kerb, car spins.

I can't be too far off the racing line, car will run too far left, resulting in more steering which means oversteer and a spin.

I tried shifting down to 5th, but I lose more speed and it unsettles the car.

Can we have a different version lol?

I think I was never a fan of those Carrera tracks...

Moi aussi j'arrive à rien et je ne serai pas là samedi.
En tout cas, je serai là dimanche, en dernière ligne. Histoire de remplir la grille.
Objectif ? Allez, soyons fous... Finir.

Uh oh... I thought the 2nd Q would be on Friday, I'll be driving V8 Supercars on Saturday night.

Maybe I won't be able to turn a lap to qualify at all

I'd have been here yesterday if I didn't mix -up doh.

Missing qualifying 2 isn't a good idea considering only the 26 fastest will be allowed to race.

The race has 58 laps. Start time 21:30 CET. Lap time roughly: http://liveracers.com/#/Views/LiveTiming/TouringProSeries/VV812%20TouringProSeries.com

I should get about 20? minutes to get onto the server and post a decent lap time, preferably under 2 minutes.

j'avais oublié. Avec 30 inscrits, c'est cuit. Dommage.
Je jetterai quand même un coup d'oeil sur le serveur au cas où.

Salut J-F

Content de te retrouver sur les pistes.
Ton chrono n'est pas mauvais,moi je suis en 2'08, et je ne vois pas comment m'améliorer.
Si tu as un truc ?

Marcus

PS: a quand la prochaine Lan???

Merci Mike,

mais cela ne va pas ?
C'est un problème de calibrage, le volant ne se place pas bien, et de plus le calibrage change en roulant et après un tour je me retrouve les bras croisés ???!!!
Est ce la fin du G25,ou y at'il une solution?

Yeah but even with fast cars, lots of drivers are way off the pole time, which is a bit worrying if we want to do the full championship next year. I guess the fastest drivers would have to drive very bad cars instead of just average cars like here or at Adelaide.

I would recommend for a full season get a list of sign ups then assign cars to each person based on ability.

I'll take my Williams or McClaren please. Sponsored by "also ran Technolgies LLC."

Take a Williams and paint it like a Lotus. May want to stuff a baffle in the exhausts also!

According to my DynHUD, I lose nearly 2% of engine life on upshifts.

But even with -10%, my engine was still running

(Hmm strange)

Marcus,

Sonne comme votre rhéostat est presque mort. Le temps d'un nouveau contrôleur. Il arrive. C'est généralement le cas lorsque vous calibrer, puis il perd de sa précision à nouveau.

Une autre possibilité est porté câbles ou d'une mauvaise connexion du câble. Nettoyez tous les contacts et vérifier tous les fils pour les spots sertis.

I see what you mean, we have done that in a team cup in a different league. or even two!
Its a balance of performance. THe result is, that super fast driver cant improve anymore, drive their butt off and are quite at the theoretical limit.

others who double their practice time will improve 2 sek. no chance.

in addition at the very limit u cant fight for positions without hte other knowing what he does.


well,

since i am looong off racing and performance i dont care. what i care about is, when i personally do bad, so, like exploding brake discs on p3 when it is more than i theoretically imagined. but the real position doesnt matter.
that is an exception, because i am not involved in a championship and many ambitioned drivers would really be sad to be doomed down into a car.

i dont know, maybe we could do just nothing and hope that we will have a close competition.
the other thing is: we sort the cars by perofrmance but still shuffle a bit so its not always the same.

a credit point system like: u can pick 3 times williams or 5 times ferrair .. nah i wouldnt like. complicated. just drive the fun out of it

and see how my brake disc glowed uninterrupted from adelaide hairpin to start finsih line !!! lol

Merci Mike,

Snif snif,c'est la fin de mon G25

Je vais devoir aller dans mon portefeuilles.....

Marcus

S'il est encore sous garantie, Logitech t'en renvoie un tout neuf S'il ne l'est plus, je crois qu'ils offrent un bon de réduction pour un G27.

Assurez-vous de lui donner une sépulture honorable!

Et Google translate est mon ami.



I want a G27 bad. I am using a super old Logitech FFB wheel that was designed for the Sony Playstation 2. I bought it, the PS2 and Gran Turisimo 2 at the same time. I was single. I got no sleep that night.

Once I am fully employed again a G27 will be coming to my house!

You best laptimes will drop like flies with a proper steering wheel

pour sur voila ton probleme Marcus ( probleme de serrage de la vis optique ) http://www.live-simracing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=166&t=29393

j ai rencontre la meme chose avec mon 1er G27en juin 2011 , j ai fait cette reparation et le probleme a eté resolu pendant 6 mois puis est revenu ( attention grosse operation si tu ne te sens pas l ame d un bricolo ne te lance pas dans l aventure ) en decembre dernier alors que ma garantie 2 ans se terminée un mois plus tard j ai contacte logitech et il m ont renvoye un G27 tout neuf sous 48 h sans meme recuperer l ancien .

Another option on the full season is to rank the cars as A B C or D with A being the fastest group and D being the slowest. Based on weekly results each driver would be reverse ranked.

It would likely be a good idea to drop the really REALLY bad cars and allow multiple people to run the same car.

Mike, our league is about historical reconstitution, not performance balance. One can usually not change cars during a season. It is up to the drivers to choose a car according to their skills (mainly faster drivers theoritically banned from faster cars), and we trust their sense of resonsibility in doing so

Pour David Jundt,

Hello David , est ce possible d'essayer votre setup . J'ai vraiment des difficultés à régler cette Lotus . Pour l'instant je suis 30ème à 24 secondes, je ne pourrai pas prendre un départ dans ces conditions .
Et pourtant, j'ai passé des heures là-dessus mais les setups et moi on est pas sur la même longueur d'onde .
Merci
