rF2 2.5h WEC @ Silverstone - Sat 17th May

[Matt Horst]

@Dennis Coufal are Calum and i confirmed as a team for LMP1?

 

[Frederic Schornstein]

Don't share our secrets

I found that one out already yesterday Lots of time to find in the setup

Yep you are in - just keep in mind that there still need to be 6 more GTE entries before we add the 7th LMP1

 

[Davy Lauwereys]

So these are the GT3 models from bes but with GT-E physics?

 

[Christian Michel]

Hmm why we drive Fuel usage x2 but not Tyre usage x2? I mean it should be real so both should be x2 or not ? After 1/4 of my fuel with x2 usage i have 95% on each tyre - dont think thats what it should be like.

I nevet experienced x2 tyre wear to work properly, but yes the tyres are fine and you dont gain any advantage by not killing them. Pit stop time is the same without tyre change.
So it will be a 2.5 hour sprint with the LMP-1

I can now confirm ill be in the GTE class for sure. These cars are great fun to drive but I have a lot of understeer which I need to dial out any ideas?

[Jason Lancett]

im in if my backs ok... ouchhh put me down and looking for a team mate..

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Damn you guys for;
- Putting this race on the norwegian constitution day
- Putting it this early in the day

Both means I can't attend
Looks like a killer event, and good time to practice upfront, hope to see something like this scheduled for a bit later in the evening so I can join.

I had an issue with the virtual mirrors on the Audi R18, which are really necessary as the visibility is very poor with 1 monitor.
But everytime I went of throttle or on the brakes I just could see the nice sky above Silverstone, so during battles in the braking zones I had no idea where the other car is.

Changing the mirrors didn't help, but when setting head movement from 100% to 0% the issue was gone, but without head movement it all feels dead for me.

There is a setting in the user PLR file, which I have not tried yet, but I will do that later today:

Moving Rearview="3" // Whether mirrors respond to head movement in cockpit (0=none, 1=position-only, 2=FOV-only, 3=both) - add 4 if you want to IGNORE head-tracking movement

Default seems to be 3 and somehow this car causes massive headmovement for the rear mirrors, but not for looking out of the front window.

I hope that works and will make battleing a lot saver

Yeh, what Freddy said! You know the rules - no times in forums. You already know my lap-time anyway, though I'm not sure how much that will help...

I'll go out on a limb here timings wise...
my pit crew can refuel 100 litres in 26 sec.

Trouble is I need about 35 sec to take a visit to the bathroom and I am driving solo!

Do i hydrate and risk a dash or dehydrate and lose concentration?

Just do what the pros do... urinate in your seat!

Just checked it. Rearview mirrors work now perfectly with the setting on 0.
I would recommend it for all Audi R18 drivers.
