About Jarama

Hello my name is Jerry, I have been practicing this track and was thinking about trying the race next saturday. Just wondering what I have to do to get involved.

Hello Jerry and welcome in our league

First of all, I edited your profile so that now only your real full name is visible.

To enter the series, you have to follow these steps :

1) Read the rules carrefully, and feel free to ask any question you have if a point remains unclear: http://historicsimracing.123.st/1989-world-sportscar-championship-f14/world-sportscar-championship-1989-series-rules-t63.htm

2) Then, download the carset and book a car in this topic : http://historicsimracing.123.st/1989-world-sportscar-championship-f14/available-cars-voitures-disponibles-t34.htm Choose the car according to your skills, I.E if you're an alien don't take a Sauber, but if you think you're not fast enough to have fun in a slow car, don't take a Toyota It's all up to you

Remember that the races are quite long (2h30+), so you can race with a team mate (who has to be registered to the forum as well), or alone. Racing alone is a realistic option though, as most of the field do it

That's it, looking forward to racing with you at Jarama !

Sorry Manu I lost your post while working on the forum, I copied it here :

Jarama :
What a twisty track. Almost a nightmare.
No chance for the pilots unprepared.
So adapted for racing with prototypes as Monaco.

I have tried it one hour today.
Best lap in 1'24" 4. Finally not so bad for my level. Now, I know that the best will do 1'18"-1'19"
At least I have a good basis to work on improvments.
I don't know yet if I could improve. I have some ideas , but not very sure.
Just to give an idea, with the Magny cours setup (wings 48 ) , it is exactly as "Holiday on ice". It gives a idea about the grip of the track
Currently, i go in the direction of :
Springs at min, Wings at max, ballast all way back to help a little to make the car rotate.
Short 3 first gears.


I will more focus my training on how to stay on the track as anything else.


As could be heard in "Lion King" : BE PREPARED !!!!

Euh Manu rassures moi...tu as fait un meilleur temps depuis non?
Ben sinon tu vas te retrouver avec la seule Jaguar au départ (?) aux basques vu que je viens de faire un 1.23.8... avec le plein en plus. Moi qui pensait que tu roulais en 1.22.x je suis décu car tu vas me piquer ma place sur la grille:D . Mon set doit être améliorable sans aucun doute mais bon j'ai pas le temps de le rendre encore plus "performant" (pour mon niveau les aliens...pour mon niveau ). Un peu d'assouplissement serait pas mal ainsi qu'un travail sur la boite.
Par contre je ne trouve pas la piste si terrible que celà. Elle a un bon grip sous la Jaguar en tout cas (sauf à Pegio et Monza où elle m'echappe assez souvent). Ceci dit la Jag est peut être plus à l'aise sur une telle piste tortueuse que ta teutonne 8)

Par contre 1.18-1.19 . C'est pratiquement plus vite que la moitié du plateau en F1 79, le tout sur un circuit plus long et avec les voitures les "moins" performantes . Tu me diras qu'en 1.23.8 je vais aussi vite qu'avec la Shadow en conditions course il y a deux semaines

I did my first laps today with the 'fast' setup. Quite happy with my 1mn21s9 in a dozen laps. Such a kewl track with the Mazda .

Stuck in 1.22.6 with my porsche, a very difficult track indeed, but quite rewarding when you get it right I've gotta say

Looking forward to tomorrow's race, ought to be a cool fight

Toine better try to improve hardly as I've done a 1.22.8 this morning. Would be quite strange for me(and dishonnoring to you..ask Guillaume:rigol: ) to overtake you a the start

I might not be very well off in the early stages, but remember it's a long long race, and I'll be there after 144 laps to get my points :raclure:

I am in 1'23"2
But with full tank.
I am not trying to do the best time. Just to stay on the track at a regular pace.
For me it will be 1'24". If I doesn't have fps or traffic problems.

The mercedes is not so good for this track with a lot of turns.
And we will have to pit at least 3 times because of the gasoline.
It will be very difficult today.

I stay pretty sure that the best will race at a 1'19", maybe 1'20", on the mazda.

Just wait at the back and see what happen.

Good race everybody

For my part I've 50 laps to beat. After any thing will be bonus for. I don't dream a checkered flac as I've already blown off three engines

My setup is a long way off where it needs to be, but I have hated this track ever since the first time I saw it so I'll just piddle around at my own pace and let the positions fall as they will

Welcome Jerry

Well, i didn't found any setup for my jag.
What track is similar to Jarama, Kyalami?

The Magny-Cours one will do I think .

Using my Suzuka's one with slights modifications on suspensions

I've gone a completely new direction, running a Magny Cours base and some other modifications to help the car rotate a little.

Pas moyen de faire mieux que 1.26, j'y pige rien à ce track.
