One of my favourite tracks. Sign me up! Now need to figure out how to setup the Audi so it goes over the chicane kerbs smoother. Any tips?

There is a kerbs section on there that might help.

Tricky conditions on the practice server this evening. Dry running followed by a light shower made the track greasy at first meaning you had to hunt off the racing line for grip. Then the heavens opened and it turned to full wet quite quickly - mega fun!

We soon learnt to stay off the painted sections of track on the outside of corners, apexes seemed ok. Playing with TC, ABS and Brake Bias helped a lot. When the track was full wet I was running brake bias all the way to the rear.

The rain shot off the Bentley looks awesome.

I need all the practice I can get to learn the track so I’ll be back on it this afternoon for a bit

I was at Imola too, but not on the server... I spent the evening in the pits trying to set the new WheelBase and Rim After 3 hours I was almost satisfied with the settings, so I told myself that I would join the server, but I was to tired to race properly

Will be there today from 16:30 to 18:30 UTC , and then from 21:30 I think

See U guys !

Nice easier run out the pit lane at least. I was like Austin Powers trying to three point turn out the last time!

I’m not a setup expert, but I’ll also race with the Audi and last night I tried with the aggressive setup and wasn’t that bad at the chicane. So I wouldn’t be worried too much, I think it’s better to not compromise the car around the track where you need some sort of “safe agility” and the car really planted on the ground, then practice to find a safe line at the chicane, that’s my opinion at least.


Anyway with those mixed conditions described by Chris it will be a lot of fun! From what I tried last night, the track state is really fast changing from greasy to dry even with only 2 cars on track, but then there was rain again, so I think managing (and guessing) the right move with tires and pit stops will be a lot more important than the pace itself. Not easy but challenging in the right way!

This took a bit of trawling but it reminded me of @Hazzatron19 at Spa, with his pit stop nightmare…

Sorry to bring this back up Harry
