rF2 F1 1993 McLaren @ Adelaide 1988 - Mon 6th February 2023

Jimlaad43 · Jan 30, 2023

Automatic Gears and Traction Control? This must be the early 90's in Formula 1! The McLaren MP4/8 was the vehicle to which Ayrton Senna, Michael Andretti and Mika Hakkinen piloted to 2nd place in the Constructors Championship. We will drive it this week around Adelaide, the scene of the great Ayrton Senna's final race victory in this very car! Can you pilot it around the circuit to match his 1:13.371 pole time?

Attached is a setup I have used to set a time quicker than Senna's pole time!
This is an onboard from the race with the master. See what you can learn.

Any of you up for joining us for this fun event. The car is surprisingly easy to jump into a drive quickly, especially if you consider yourself a rookie or inexperienced with this kind of racing. It'll be a great race, so feel free to use my setup in the first post and go and do some laps before the race tomorrow!

Sorry, but I'm doing the ACC Serie mondays

Ole Marius Myrvold · Feb 5, 2023

Sorry, still at 39 degrees fever. Not getting better, but not getting worse.

Looks fantastic - and I took a few laps in this combo to try it out. Those McLarens were lightning fast but, yes, surprisingly easy to drive (relatively speaking). Of course, after trying to man-handle those bmw m4s for nearly an hour the other day anything else drives like a go kart. Not that I could come close to Senna's lap time though...!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make this even since it falls at in the middle of a busy work day. Sorry to miss out!
