Doing season 3 in 7 season career in the Lotus. Expert (Legend) but in Auto Box and no fuel sim. 50% Dist.
Coming off a win in Bahrain where I qualified P8 on Primes and won.
Just did Melb last night.
It was looking like a top 10 grid position and then it rained in Q3 and I took Pole by 3 secs (thanks AI).
Started on primes and built enough Gap to rejoin still in P1. (-2sec.) in 9 laps built that to -11 sec for the win.
The Lotus is feeling frisky.
I went for Aggressive R&D and have had two updates incl Throttle mapping by race day in Melb!
The team however seem to have higher expectations. My target was Quali P4, Race P3.
Leading the WDC with 50 points. Hamilton P2 with 38.

Will leave it for another couple of races to decide whether to turn on Fuel sim. I did have some luck with wet quali in Melb.

Sign me up

I'll race for the Virgin as i think Williams was too fast of a car for me this week.. Spa is a strong track for me so fingers crossed it's a close one!

 

[David O'Reilly]

Done Jono.
I'll let the Virgin girls know, I'm sure their hearts will be beating faster.

Regarding setups and assists.
I believe that there are some subtle differences regarding what works with assists and no assists.
For example moving the ballast fwd will induce more wheelspin but that will be camouflaged by TCS. So you can run ballast further fwd.
Brake balance changes/efficiencies will be dulled also by ABS as you won't get lockup.
At the same time the car whilst allowing these things is not optimised as TCS will reduce power, you just won't get the tell tale slide.
So my take on it is that one should always do setups with no TCS or ABS and on prime tyres.
I'll attach below a previous post on the issue.
In this way you get a good setup and then a bit more help from assists, rather than assists acting like an anaesthetic in setup.

1. A system for tweaking setups

This thread is about a system for testing your setup changes.
OK we have all had the benefit of some great setups shared here on the RD site.
For those of us that have the compulsion to work on our own there are a couple of comprehensive documents about the theory (thank you Ramon and Racer Alex).

I've been also having some progress by making a practice of:

• Enough practice laps with a familiar setup to be within .2sec every lap on the track .
• All testing on primes first (to more expose car handling issues) with about 10 laps fuel. Resist the urge to want impressive tiimes just yet.
• Same goes for assists TCS OFF, ABS OFF. So get the car naked in its engineering and balance weaknesses no Options or assists to hide behind!
• Make one change at a time-monitor result over say 3 laps.
• Once happy that you have got a good setup, then Options and say 4 laps fuel. Test.
• If racing with assists turn them back on and Presto.

MACHINIMA HAVE FINALLY ACCEPTED SOMETHING I SENT IN, maybe that will mean they might start uploading my vids

 

[Dion de Martines]

I'd like to sign up too, if there is still some room left for me. I'd like to have the only car left, which is the HRT ?

Dion de Martines / DionCaesar / HRT

 

[Dion de Martines]

lol only now I see that Sziszifusz (wow that name.. :S.. Hungarian? We (our great football club PSV) used to have a player named Balazs Dzsudzsak, he was Hungarian. But well I'm getting a little of topic) has already signed up for the HRT. I'll go for the Force then, and if some one can't make it, like Kevin, I'd gladly take their car.

Sorry and thanks !


Okay update: Dion de Martines / DionCaesar / Mercedes

lol nice one
is it a RD race?

 

[Jono Dupres]

Don't suppose you have any intel' regarding fuel issues on this track? as in how long we can run on 'fast'?

we here at virgin are inexperienced racers !

 

[Scott Webber]

Well guy's once again we may need a backup host, im not 100% sure whether i can take part in this tomorrow night.

 

[Darren Bentley]

lol nice one
is it a RD race?

no it's part of my singleplayer career

 

[David Ross]

who's going to miss the race due to 'extracuricular activities' involving pit girls?

Looks like it could be Scott. leave some pit girls for the rest of us mate.

 

[Bojan Kruljac]

Sunday 12 your time is to late (or early for me). I am for Saturday same time like in Bahrain. I dont have any special setups for races. Also use TT setup from racedepartment forum (Victor Andersson setup are the best for me).
Dont understand what do you mean by what kind of traction control settings am I using. If you think was it mediun or full in Bahrain it was full and everything else including gears was manual or off.

 

[Dion de Martines]

I'm very sorry, but I can't make it tomorrow. I really looked forward to this race too, after learning the track etc.

Sorry guys to let you down, the more drivers, the more fun. Hopefully it will (still, hahahah) be a good race !

 

[Alan Milligan]

I'd love to join, are there any spots open?

 

[Ajay Rodrigues]

sunday ok for me...
saturday maybe push it by an hour or 2 later..
like 7pm sydney time?

 

[Piet Dekimpe]
