Just so everyone is aware, I will be posting the qualifying order at 00h30 on Thursday. If you can't make your scheduled time, you can arrange to swap times with another driver and notify me via PM or post; I will then update the qualifying order.  Wink

They degrade in different ways.  The Goodyears wear down at a consistent clip, The Firestones have more of a grip plateau, then suddenly fall off a cliff.  (hey, that rhymes)

I have an question...
It refers qualifications laps.

My engine goes to yelow pretty soon, even befor first timed lap. By the end of lap 4 it goes to red. Sometimes it lasts enough, sometimes it burnes down, even engine wear remains on 98%!!!

Im driving in 3rd, below 9000rpm, radiators on 2. If I rise radiators to 3, my times go down. If I shift up to 4th, same thing, speed goes down, even not so much, but yet, not enough to be competitive...

If I reposition gear box, everything falls apart...

So, what to do? Risk it as it is, and try to lift off in corners to cool down the engine???

Your car should be able to do a decent qualy in 4th gear with radiator at position 3. You just need a good setup :hum:

I've tried doing mock qualy runs with radiator 2, and I do not recommend it. The engine starts to lose power on lap 4 and dies before the run is complete (at least for me). You can tell engine death is eminent by the speed slowly dropping on the straightaway.

The Chevy seems to have no problem at all with a radiator 2. Okay it's yellow but I haven't notice any lose of speed . Doesn't mean I'm not in trouble. My pony power is no match on this track for the horse power of the others lol! . I could only hope to make the cut. But it would be a very tought fight for wich I'm not really optimistic. I'm not a good driver and I'm worst under pressure. And there's a lot of pressure there

I can do 4 flyers at Rad 2 with Qual Boost....


Quick question. 1 Warm-up Plus 4 timed laps, that means leave the pits come around and take the green?

Correct.

Also there is no need to stay below the double line until you exit turn 2, that rule only applies in the race.

I did a 45.7 with an Eagle Firestone on a test for Richard, so the car can go that fast.

The less powerful engines also use less fuel, and since rFactor produces heat per liter burned, that means they also heat less.

Warm up lap is when you leave the pits and go around, crossing the start line for the first time. That counts as lap 1. Then you have 4 flying laps (2,3,4 and 5 in your total) and after crossing the finish line for the 5th time since you left the pits you either stop and quit or go around but enter the pits after turn 4. If you cross the line for a 6th time you are DQ.

Doing a quick qualy lap on a paved oval is somehow like drifting or doing a wheelie on a motorbike: You are at the absolute edge of balance, one slight bit too much or too few ruins your lap. You must develop a feel for it, and that comes only with practice.

But if there is a single thing I would point out as being what must be understood and be the absolute key, that is the line. Many people used to road racing just seem unable to convince themselves of turning earlier and smoother instead of going deeper and turning abruptly scratch And most of the speed is lost there. Any road racer knows well how to accelerate out of a corner at the edge, but ovals are all about turn in and apex speed.  :smil20:

Listen to Albertos advice, I was as he described, he talked me through it, and I learnt a whole heap of things and as a result I became a much better oval racer.

Seriously, Listen to him.

The AI should drive the proper line in the trainer version of 73, which is included in the track download (Dana created the trainer version for us last year).

Those of you have hit a wall with your speed. Step away for a day or two, then come back.

This will calm you down and in that situation that's what you need more than anything else. As you run laps, especially while trying to find speed, you will reach a point where you aren't gaining anymore and adjustments aren't helping. You're pretty much just staying the same, after a few runs that staying the same turns to slowing down, because you start pushing it.

The WORST thing you cam do, especially at Indy is try to push it, if you push #1 it will push back and bite you and #2 you will start losing speed like crazy.
