Where are you guys getting the sector times from? mine seem to be different.
For example: S1: 42.106 S2: 48.249 S3: 49.548

I take mine from the hotlap list.

JoeMk1 - any setup changes for that time? That's very impressive. I reckon I could get high 2:18s with a perfect lap but doubt I'd get close to a 2:18.0

Are we still required to run with 30l of fuel?

No, do as you please.

Nice time Joe!

I did a few laps on Sunday but couldn't even get in the 2:19:XX again. I'm going to look into some setup changes tonight to see if I can get the front end to feel a little sharper mid turn.

This car / track combo isn't what I thought it would be. The Evora feels almost slow around this track and the brakes seem poor but I think that's just because the Ferrari 458 in challenge 1 was so sharp.

So with less than a week to go before this challenge is up I don't know if we should decide on a way of selecting the next combo?

My first thought was that we could have the person who finishes in fourth of fifth in the table pick the next combo but that may cause a delay for others if they aren't able to post on the same day.

Another idea was to combine a selection of 4/5 combos to make a championship. The combo would change each week and points would be allocated to the finish positions. The championships could vary so one would be tin-tops, next open cars, another GTs. We could also just do a 1 car / 5 tracks combo and/or 1 track / 5 cars combo. Basically what is happening now but you'd know in advance what the next combo is.

The other idea is to just simply have a discussion here and come up with what to do. The only problem here is that everyone has different likes and dislikes so there might not be a clear winner.

Any thoughts and ideas are welcome.

Sorry that I've not been joining in, I've had problems with my PC and need to do a rebuild. The rebuild's proving to be a very lengthy and expensive process with satellite broadband's low download limits and speeds. I'll hopefully join you soon

Nope, completely standard. Traction is the key here, it feels like an open diff. Any wheelspin on corner exits will have you losing time all along the next straight. I saved the replay, I'll see if I ca upload it later. I think that lap was fairly untidy, a 2:17.5 should be possible.

Brilliant. Not sure if that fills me with hope or despair though!

With RSR I can't figure out why my laps aren't being counted as 'pro'. All my settings are the same as they suggest... I must be missing something but can't put my finger on it. It was fine for Silverstone...

I've had this problem too. From memory, I don't think selecting 'pro' in AC is enough, because it doesn't change all the settings to what RSR consider 'pro'. I think it might be the air temperature you need to set to 26 degrees or something like that. Sorry to be so vague, but I don't have AC installed to check.

Like a bat out of hell
I must try without TC, looks to really bog the car down in corners, cheeky final chicane though

Same on the server, I think because it's a practice session rather than hotlaps?

Ah.. Yes, I think that might be it. With other cars on the track you could get a tow, thus making it unfair.

[scampbird]

Fun playing on the server ash73. We should do some PH races some day.

Edit: can you run a server and play on it at the same time (i.e. use one PC for the job)? Or do you need a separate PC or hosting service to do it?

Thanks for that, that was a really good lap.

ash73 said:

I've set up a server for us to try.

Great! I can definitely get on Thursday evening if it is still up and running then.

[Rawwr]

I'll try to hop on around 6pm this evening if anyone else is about.

p.s. the server is set up to loop between 2 hour practice sessions and a short race. I tried setting up one continuous session to retain everyone's times but of course the time of day advances so it could be the middle of the night! When you join check the countdown timer, if it's running down use the vote buttons to restart or advance the session.

Do we have night in AC now?

There is a morning to evening transition but I don't believe there is night racing... yet.

This and rain would be a great addition but I remember Kunos stating that 'no one wanted rain' because everyone wanted to drive flat out. I hope he has changed his mind with the popularity of the game because I love rain races.

Rain would be fun however I'd imagine fairly intensive on the computers running the game?
