What is FDR -1?

The lowest setting on my Rear RB is 0. There's no -1

By that I mean setting it default -1. So in FDR it goes to 3.8888 ish. For Rear ARB it goes to 7 if I remember correctly.

Thanks, I see now

[Rod200SX]

Managed to get down to about 1:30.xxx last night but can get more out of it.

Struggling with the small hairpin halfway through the track, the 'drop' as you turn in i'm struggling with so losing a good bit there I think.

Woo! World Record on the online database and the only Pro time. (There are only 5 that have done this combination) - http://www.radiators-champ.com/RSRLiveTiming/index...



I've got the lap saved if anyone wants to see the video (later).

I tried different wing settings but the rear didn't seem to make any difference in top speed and you could get better grip just by having the tyres warmed up after a few laps. So kept that the same. Changed coast diff so that I could control late braking, essential into turn 1. Final drive ratio reduced to close up all the gears and use 6th on the straights.

Sorry

GroundEffect said:

Sorry

One lap, did you use supersofts?

[GroundEffect]

Softs. I find Im fastest straight out of the box since you start the lap with ~80C tyres rather than ~90C after a hot lap.

[FourWheelDrift]

Ah, on Pro settings the tyre warmer setting is off so they are stone cold. So My first lap is normally a 1m28 then the next is 1.5-2s faster.

[GroundEffect]

There isn't a pro option on console as far as I can tell

[ChemicalChaos]

.Winner of Challenge 23.

A seriously close battle this week, with GroundEffect just prevailing after some major-league setup tinkering. I suspect he isn't "sorry" at all!

Introducing......

Pistonheads Assetto Corsa Challenge 24: The Track Day


KTM X-Bow
at
Silverstone International

Featuring:
factory TC, ABS "on" allowed if declared

Did someone say "snappy"? With the oversquare chassis dimensions, is one seriously tricky car to handle on the limit! So, for those of us not blessed with godlike ability then I have allowed the option to partially alleviate this by running with ABS if you are honest and declare as such. If you want, you can do a time with and a time without.

Very time limited this week so this might be it for me, bizarrely faster with ABS off but only did 15 laps in total so probably slow, I'll bask in the glory of being "top" for a few hours.

Few laps in, forgot how tricky this thing can be. Reckon I miiight be able to get 2-3 seconds off if I sweat it out


EDIT: down into the 13s now. Car behaves much better when you, well, drive like a bit of a dick it seems.

Really odd that the X-Bow is an 'R' but has no adjustable Brake Bias. It really could go a few clicks rearward....

Agreed, very eager to lock the fronts. Can make slowing from 5th gear down to 2nd a bit all or nothing.

Good fun, though.

Getting a frame delivered for my steering wheel so will be able to do longer stints without getting back pains, compared to my current dining chair and desk combination

Oh you swine!

I'll have some time tomorrow for Round 2.

[Rod200SX]
