cheers Guillaume will see if i can make some progress

Ludo, I just managed 1:23:824 with soft tyres and low fuel. How are you going? If you need I can give you my setup

@ Yahia - bon courage, les mauvaises passes passent .

I'm in 1.30.8 in hard tyres and low fuel. Don't understand the track in fact and sometime the behaviour of the car

I got better and did 1:23:735. Try mine and see if you like it

J'espère qu'un jour ces problèmes disparaîtront et que je puisse enfin faire une course avec vous dans son intégralité, en ce moment je suis dans une mauvaise passe qui commence à vraiment me prendre le chou , sur le lobby de GTR EVO je fais des courses en F. 3000 et je n'ai jamais rencontré un problème, je prends vraiment plaisir à faire ses courses dans une bonne ambiance mais dès que j'arrive sur historic simRacing organisation c'est la catastrophe à croire qu'il y a un individu malsain qui ne voudraient pas que je roule dans cette ligue ou un gros diable qui survole ma tête et attend le moment pour me lancer un sort, sa tombe toujours pendant le championnat et ça me rend fou de rage sa dure depuis janvier 2009 et j'espère ine chala que tout s'est mauvais sort s'en aille à tout jamais, en espérant être présent pour la course de Monaco et faire mais preuve car jusqu'à vous maintenant je n'ai rien démontré, en attendant je vais commencer à préparer cette course pour être prêt à frapper un grand coup sur le circuit de Monaco et vous montrer ma capacité à faire de l'endurance, voilà mes amis Simracer je vous souhaite plein de joie et de combat dans vos courses.
À bientôt sur la piste

I hope that one day these problems will disappear and that I could finally make a running with you in its entirety, at present I am in a bad pass which really begins getting from me the cabbage, on the lobby of GTR EVO I go shopping F there. 3000 and I have never met a problem, I really enjoy to go shopping in a good ambience but as soon as I arrive on historic simRacing organisation it is disaster to think that there is an unhealthy individual who would not like that I run in this league or a big devil who flies over my head and waits for the instant to throw me a fate, its tomb always during the championship and this makes me mad with rage its hard since January, 2009 and I hope ine for chala that everything belongs bad lot leaves forever, by hoping to be present for the running of Monaco and to make but proof because until you supporting I showed nothing, by waiting I am going to begin preparing this running to be ready to hit a hard bop on the circuit of Monaco and show you my capacity to make endurance, here is my friends Simracer I wish you full of joy and battle in your shopping.
See you soon on the track

Bon rétablissement Yahia et à bientot parmi nous

Done a 1.28.9 with it. But the car's to much tricky for a rookie like me . I'm spining nearly every lap at Sterrewacht (T2), miss the Kleine Chicane quite often and spin at Jochen Rindt ever on braking or reaccelerating. With time and experience it must be a fine set . But for my level it's quite hard (nearly impossible in fact) to handle the car properly and reach the limits with it .
Think I got understeer getting in curve and a huuuuuuuuge oversteer when getting out. But next lap on same curve, it's the contrary (massive oversteer getting in a understeer getting out) .
Also have a car rather unstable on braking (especially strong one as for Chicane or Rindt).
But my greatest concern is T2. I don't find braking point there neither trajectory. I can't do more than two turns in row without spinning and/or crashing there.
That track scares me even more than Monza. I deeply, truly dislike it

Well for T2 you must brake gently or you'll spin, for the rest I suggest that you try to give more donwforce and play a little with the differential to see how it goes.

Good luck Yahia ! Reviens nous vite et en pleine forme

Whatever I change on the set nothing work. 1.28.1 at best. And now I can't do more than 3 turns on a row without crashing, the car's too tricky on reaccelerating and go wild.
It's definitly a trouble with the track not the set. Well nothing to hope for saturday

Try to increase your gears, maybe that will help when exiting corners

For enjoy, i made 1.30.28x with Shadow. It's hard to drive

Fins (ailrons) closed up and soft tires

Ludo, you are not alone

Well I find the Shadow quite ammusing to drive, it's not easy and certainly not fast, but quite enjoyable

The trouble don't come from gears it seems. On the replay my car sometimes bump a lot from rear on reaccelaration (great look all those sparks). And when I drive the car is jolting very hard on exit of corners. It's very frequent in Eerste Linkse (T1), Kleine Chicane, Jochen Rindt (T7) and Ickx (T8 and last corner). It's also jolting on brakes at Klein Chicane. Never see this reaction before. My guess is something is too hard or too soft in suspensions.
And because of these erratic behaviour, I perhaps don't push the car to the limits (braking too soon and reaccelerating too late). With much more confidence in it I perhaps could find one or two tenth in each corner (nearly one second and half on a turn). Will be still far from 1.23 but I'm not a top gunner whatever especially on this track who I dislike

Well, the rear supspension is on medium sets, perharps you should try some packers, because it seems the car is hitting the ground and can cause that erratic behaviour. My 1:23 is made with 5 laps of fuel and soft tyres, don't forget

1.28.1 with 15 laps fuel and soft tyres. I'll try harder suspensions soon

je serai là pour les qualifs de ce soir et la course de dimanche.

pour samedi, il y a très peu de chances...

Juste un mot pour dire qu'Allar Foht ayant manqué la course de Jarama sans explications, si cela arrive encore dimanche à Zolder, sa Tyrrell sera libre. J'estime que 6 semaines sont largement suffisantes pour passer sur le forum ( 3 semaines avant la course, 3 semaines après ) pour s'expliquer. Je ne veux juste pas que des baquets soient réservés par des pilotes qui ne viennent plus.


Just a quick word to say that Allar Foht missed the race at Jarama without giving any reason, so if it happens again at Zolder, his Tyrrell will be free. I think 6 weeks are enough to come on the forum ( 3 weeks before the race, 3 weeks after ) to explain yourself. I just dont want seats being taken by drivers who doesn't come to races anymore.

Je serai là dimanche, c'est certain. Par contre, je ne suis pas sûr de pouvoir venir faire les qualifs ce soir ou samedi.
