AC De Tomaso Pantera @ Watkins Glen - Wednesday 13 Nov 2019

[Craig Dunkley]

Cannot get on with this Pantera, I am convinced John has sneaked a Skippy chassis into the car.
Requires too much finesse for clumsy old me.
I will have a go in a much more user friendly Skoda.
So sadly bailing out Craig.
I think I would be a menace with this car on this track.
Funnily tried it first off line, got on with it okay, went onto the practice server and immediately became a doddery old git in it ???

Thanks for letting me know

Sign me up. I think my custom title fits this quite well.

Wish I could give you a great setup Ernie - I have tried a few but with no improvement - so I'm using standard apart from 1deg more front camber, lowered diff by 1 (to hit rev limiter at end of straight) and 29fr, 31rr tyre pressures.

The other night Patrick and I were on the server - we were both doing the same *times as you last night, so there's no way you'd be a menace - and I'll bet everyone has a fair few big offs

The penny dropped for me when racing with AI which were braking much earlier. As soon as I copied the AI it brought another 1sec improvement and stopped the snap oversteer... mostly

Hope you reconsider mate

ps. I'm wondering if a tyre change might be needed in the race... [/thinks]



*lap times are now appearing on the ACC forums, hint hint

Thanks for the moral support @Medilloni I have tried every setup imaginable, ( except the right one )
I just cannot apply that throttle cleanly enough, had a good innings off line, I don’t know what my track conditions were , but on the server it just was impossible for me, it was just not fun, the worst part was the complete, for me, unpredictable nature of it.
On wards and upwards to the Skoda at brands.

Unfortunately I have no spare time for the Nordschleife Event next Wednesday, so this is my race to go for. So far I haven't driven one inch with this car but I heard it's gonna be a bit tail happy so I'll probably like it.
