I've tested the Porsche 936C at Time Scale x5 but can only get the brake to last 8 laps. This is at the loest brake pressure, the bias set to 53 and a reduced fuel load at Boost 1.

Any ideas how to get the brakes to last a bit longer? I ran the Medium compound, would running Harder or Softer help?

The higher up the time scale or mechanical wear you go, the more things get exaggerated on rFactor.

The Porsche should be okay for brakes, if you look after them. Also as Pascal said, try the keep braking as gentle as you can, so brake earlier. Make sure your brake temps rarely goes over 500 degrees C too.

Hey guys is it still possible to sign up? I might be able to make tomorrows race. Thanks Josh

Of course you can sign up, but you are limited to just the group 5 cars since you are on your own.

Just say which free car you would like from Group 5.

cool sign me up in a lancia please. Im pretty sure I can make the race as it will 1:30am monday and I will be home by then. Thanks

You can only drive a group 5 car by yourself. And no Lancia Beta's are free. The only cars free in group 5 are the Ferrari 512 BB-LM and the Porsche 935

Oh damn. I guess I'll go a Ferrari then. Thanks

Thanks for the advice, chaps. Looks like we can nurse the brakes to the end of the race

Oh, more than 6h alone, my logest race was about 3h

it will be difficult to not fall asleep or get PC trouble or Disconect

Hello!

#60 Porsche 935 Please

Thanks!

Thiago

I dunno why, but my gearshifts are really slow. I'm watching oliver's stream and he can shift faster, while in my case the car stays in neutral for a longer even though I'm in the next gear.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

EDIT: Ok nevermind, it doenst slip anymore for some reason

EDIT 2: Apparently it's because of the auto clutch. But it still takes forever to shift to next gear

Thiago, you will need to fix those mismatches. Running in the Qualy session with them is not cool either 

In the car selection scree, have a look in the upgrades menu, some mods run with different gearing options to make the field closer and allow for those with no clutch pedal for example to compete, it may be that you have an upgrade there that slows down your gear changes Nikos.


@Jason White again sorry for holding you up on your hotlap, I thought I had left enough of a gap when I started my lap but clearly that wasn't the case

No worries at all; I was just trying to get back into the groove.  Jukka put in a fast time for us on Thursday

Hmm

Without the possibility to flash our lights this will be a very interesting race

I hope all the guys have a look in the mirrors although they are so busy keeping the cars on the track.

See you all tomorrow, really looking forward to this event!

The good thing is that your Lancia is fairly loud, I heard it coming from quite far back.

Will be a bit more difficult if you are in a fight though but we'll be sure to keep an eye out in the #6+9 team

Well I'll be having a good look in my mirrors then, since I won't be able to hear the Lancia over the murdering scream of the BMW 6-cyl

Holy mother, I'm still terrified by the lap I just pulled off, but being the fastest non-turbo car is an acceptable reward for some soiled knickers

Just a question,
is it possible to edit the blue flag show moment, so it can be showed sooner than regular?
I dont know what is the trigger to show the blue flag, is it the gap time or distance between cars, either way, it would be good if that number can be rised, so the flag shows sooner.
Expeccialy during qually periods in other series...

Unfortunately not. There is no way to edit it.

Désolé, Richard, je t'ai bien vu arriver, mais j'ai voulu lever le pied au mauvais endroit, au sommet de la bosse. Déséquilibré, je n'ai plus rien contrôlé, juste que j'étais sûr que j'allais finir par me retrouver en perdition en plein dans ta trajectoire.
J'espère que cela n'a pas trop contrarié ta qualif.

Ca va pas être simple les dépassements, il faudra que les Gr.6 ralentissent un peu à l'approche des Gr.5 qui auront à ce moment la possibilité d'ouvrir la porte en toute sécurité.

Left quali a few minutes early...come here and find that the honors for fastest non turbo car were stripped away from me.

Dammit!

Good lap, Michael!
I pushed and pushed a few times, trying to bring my own time down but could only find about the same times, even with some setup adjustments that really punished the car and took it to the limit.

Safe to say, the Rondeau is certainly on edge any time I run anything under 7 flat.

Yes indeed I hope the Gr.6 drivers will keep in mind this is a very long race and that they most likely will have to drop a few seconds here and there and sometimes wait a couple of turns before being able to safely pass a backmarker on this track.

Really important for the lapped traffic to stay on their own racing line. The faster cars will find a way around them.
Jumping off line and trying to help by getting out of the way in unpredictable and will lead to more problems. 

Amazing lap time well done to the pole man and that Rondeau time is unreal!

Hey guys having issues with the game. I put the F1 and WEC mods in and the game worked and then I put the nos track in with the fix and now my game wont load. Also for the timing sheets I am Aussie if you need a flag

So finalized solution for fight against CONNECTION LOST,
