AC DRM Revival @ Circuit de la Sarthe (Le Mans) - Sat 23Jun18

guidofoc · Jun 20, 2018

Hi guys, damn the qualify is at like 4:30 AM here in Beijing, but it's a Sunday morning so well let me try (besides, I just learned that @Dirk Steffen is in China too.. so if he can do it who am I not to try?)
So.. can I please have a brand new Porsche 935 K3?

Dirk Steffen · Jun 20, 2018

Hey @guidofoc the practice session start in Beijing TZ will be 0300am so it's just the time to come home early from clubbing.

Make sure you drink hard that night so I have a chance to collect the Chinese trophy of this event, otherwise I will proceed to blow my engine again (still not swallowed that one @Celtic Pharaoh).

Richard Dastardly · Jun 20, 2018

Pencil me in for an 935 please - I'll get back to you if it's a K2 or a K3 once I've tested a bit more.

I'd have been pretty tempted by the RSR again if you'd run a class of those

Edit: K3 please, sadly no contest between the two on this track.

Maybe @dmatzies is interested to race their creatures with us?

You're in. Dirk is always making coffee so you'll get a cup

Ain't that the truth. You've got a K3 waiting on you

Sig me out please. I have confused Saturday with Sunday and Saturday I will be away from the simulator. I am sorry

Thank you

Is there an obvious cure for the way these things wander all over the road? it's like there's not enough lateral damping & the car is gently rocking from one back wheel to the other, but hard dampers don't really do much.

The 935 has suspiciously low mechanical grip at the front too. Only driven these at Riverside before & don't remember it being a problem there :S

Try to reduce to negative toe at the front.

Changing the 935 toe doesn't actually seem to have an effect - out of the box it's got toe-in at the front; I don't know why they modelled toe ( or let you change the diff either ) given it's got a solid rear axle.

Hard dampers *do* help somewhat, but not enough to me comfortable, let alone cure it.

Then stiffen also front ARB.

Sorry guys, I have to cancel tonight's race. I crashed with my paraglider and broke both ankles and my left knee. Have some fun with those turbo monsters for me, too and see you soon.

Wow!

I'm really sorry to hear that Ronnie. First your foot and now this. Rest up, take it easy.
I hope you're doing okay. Get well soon!
