Yeah would be nice for a cleaner lap 1! i guess there is more space at brands, but would be annoying to be pushed into the sandpit!

I've reported my absence for this group, but the list isnt updated yet.

So one spot extra for the non qualifiers. :thumb:

Keith Peppiatt · Jul 11, 2008

first time qualified... iracing must be really good!!!

Looking forward to a nice race with Eckhart... as usual.... but this time for points!!!!

Chris Noble · Jul 11, 2008

Spent some time on the practice server and ran a full race distance to see how it would go!

Seemed to run fine until lap 11 where after which my lap time became a bit varied, but I had changed my rear wing to 1 and so the back end was flying out in the fast corners! So guess that was part of it.

Managed a 1:35.2 during quali using FFB and best is 1:34.844 without FFB so still in a bit of a quantry to use it or not in the actual race. Dam hard work fighting the wheel all the time!

But with FFB on for the 14 lap race I did, avaraged around 1:36 going up to 1:37's for the final 3/4 laps.

Also tried Brams secret for much more confident braking in the Honda and it works a treat, no more lock ups under braking!

my arms were killing me after a long stint with top level on FFB. i've better laptimes since i've brought it to medium, you get the feedback but don't feel like its trying to break your wrists.

@skippy: hehe, I turn into something green and monstrous when points are up for grabs!

seriously, here's my agenda for tomorrow:

quali: middle of 1:36 will make me happy

races: if I finish in top 15 in either race I am satisfied, if I am in top 10 I'll be dancing in front of the screen!

best thing: three teammates in one grid, it's gonna be a Blue Flag shock attack for the rest of you!

Hmmm Dose it works with Seat alsow???I wonder what is that secret method....?...?

P.S. i used to drive without FFB (g25) with Attis wheel setings .I was faster when it comes to hotlaping but when it comes to whole race its much better for me to set low FFB.My laps are much more consist

Robert Schon, be on alert on the forum for surely the final minutes to see if someone from group 4 may drop out.

its in the briefing here http://forum.racedepartment.com/wtcc-news/3945-download-briefing-incidents.html :wink:

Chris Noble · Jul 11, 2008

Yes I did find the FFB easier to manage when I reduced it down to 40% from 52%, still a bit tiring but like you say, you can handle a car with worn tires a bit easier.

I am running Jamies wheel settings also which he says are much better than the defaults.

Secret is in the setup! Wish there was more offical Honda setups, not really found the sweet spot yet with them! but yeah the Seat Toledo was involved! cant say about the leon and I doubt it would due to it being quite a diferent wheelbase from the other 2!

Christopher Aponte · Jul 11, 2008
