AMS2 GT Classics @ Imola 1972, Tuesday 1st November 2022

[Bas Kriesels]

Sorry Guido Kudos to You then the proactive filling of the lobby! But I totally agree.

@Eric S will try to get some laps in then tomorrow.

Looking forward to Tuesday!!!

 

[Guido Trampe]

Can we do some test race together tommorow? Should deliver some pre fun?

 

[Redvaliant]

Sure, if it's during the afternoon. I have a race tomorrow night. But, I can put the server up for a 30minute race. The 3 hour practice server is up at the moment.

 

[Guido Trampe]

What about 15.00 CEST? Anyone else up for dome practise fun?

My day is already fully booked.

Tried both of them for several laps, and I couldnt get the Corvette turned until i lowered front springs and roll bar and diff too. Then i could beat my best Porsche lap quite easily. With the Porsche it feels i need to push hard to get a good time, and the Corvette i just need to get it under control and braked early enough and it goes fast, haha.
Is that just me?

Looking at the timetrial this corvette seems indeed way quicker.

 

[Redvaliant]

It is quicker, but keeping it on track is the real test. Imola is as fast as Monza from Rivazza to Tosa - that's about half the track, it's the rest of the lap that causes the Chev problems. At Road America for instance, the Porsche destroyed the Corvette as the big fat tank couldn't deal with the medium speed corners as well as the 911. So, it's a bit of this and a bit of that regarding the strengths of each.

So that's 2pm UTC/BST. I'm up for a few laps....on the practice server?

 

[Guido Trampe]

Sounds good to me. Will it be closed or open lobby?

 

[Redvaliant]

Hmmm, the practice server is closed, but it's a practice, non-race server. Do you want to do a sprint race? Doing a peer to peer open server is probably okay if you don't mind being destroyed by random bad drivers.

 

[Eric S]

In my 4th lap I was 2,2sec quicker in the Chev than the 25 laps yesterday in the Porsche...

 

[Redvaliant]

Well, Guido & I have just done 3 races on open servers and the Porsche is the best race car in AMS2! It is a wonder. The Corvette is fast, but keeping it together is almost impossible. I, however, will be using it in Race 1, and switching to the Porsche in R2.

 

[Guido Trampe]

The Porsche is a great car to drive. Really enjoyed it. I ised my big wheel (35 cm) and seq shifter (yes I know it has manual original ) and its really great on immersion. The engine sound and cockpit grafics for creating a “ I am driving a racecar” feeling. Looking forward to Theusday. Only hoping family life will let me race

 

[Guido Trampe]

I am hoping AMS2 will comw up with a GT Legends pack DLC in future. There is great demand for those and if they will be anything like the Porsche (and Vette although handfull like in real life) I can see lots off people drving those all the time.

 

[Redvaliant]

Yes, the more you drive the Porsche, the more it starts to outshine every other car in this sim. I really think it is the best car in game. Maybe a series with these is in order in future. Oh, BTW the RC is out...Classic Spa is here!

 

[Rich Green]

Hi, I’d like to sign up please. Just to check,UTC and GMT are the same time now that BST has ended?

 

[Redvaliant]

Yeah, UTC doesn't change year round, and now it's the same as UK time.
