Should we practice for the small chance of rain ?

Prc.. Prrrr... Praaaa... Prakte... Practice? Sorry, that word is totally new to me. Cannot be a useful thing then I guess

By going off our normal routine, 9 out of 10 times when rain is forecasted, it's dry. But I guess some wet driving can be useful, or are they very easy to drive in wet @Roy Magnes ?
Oh, I think also @Monkey T. have raced these cars in the wet?

The rain conditions we drove in where kind off extreme (from memory it got to 100% rain), so you had to focus some more on what to do and stuff, haven't tried them with less rain then that race provided. I think it's likely to be a lot more manageable when there is less rain then that.

Let's hope for 100% rain then

Any ideas on how to stop my FR from dying on me at the end of a 20ish minutes stint ?
Thinking of adding negative camber ?

Maybe I'm throwing the car too much in corners, but the inner FR temp was almost always burning .

@Ole Marius Myrvold : are the logs from practice sessions available ?

Sounds like locking up.

Yes the logs are available, what you thinking about?

 

[Xalfy]

Hmmm, that might be it. Crewchief told me about it, but that would mean I'm locking up every time . Time to practice a new brake balance!

I was just curious to see who practiced on the practice server, and if laptime data was available.

 

[xoSx.Racing]

Be careful cause the track limits at the Donington Park are a joke. Especially the last chicane, even when keeping 2 wheels on the track it can deem it a cut.

 

[Xalfy]

Yeah, you can't cut at all any part of the chicane. Safeway is to stay just on the curb. Track limits at turn 4 (I think? downhill right hander) are also pretty strict.

Old Hairpin, I only got cut recorded there after you mentioned it in your post

 

[Roy Magnes]

The Broadbent-race last week at this track was a DT-fest, so we have to work a bit more to keep it within the white lines here. That being said, I have done 20-30 laps shared between the Toyota and the Infinity on the server over the last few days, and only gotten 1 cut warning (which was me outbraking myself into the chicane), so I know it is possible to do

[Xalfy]

Wait, do those cars have push to pass ?

Not working. Which is why we should use the 2021 spec this time, not 2022

 

[Xalfy]

Aaaah understood! I was a bit surprised to see the button on my wheel .

 

[Monkey T]

The nerves got to me before the start of my pole position in race 2, so I rolled a little, because I forgot to hold the brake and got a drive through for it Race was fun

Don't shift, don't hold down clutch. Then it won't roll.
