Mugello

Mugello is one of Italy's classic circuits, tucked away in the rolling hills of the Tuscany region and beloved of the motorcycle racing brigade. Each year thousands pack into the grandstands to worship the MotoGP riders, in particular home hero Valentino Rossi, whose fans turn the hillsides...

A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Love Mugello! (and it has a big straight )

After yesterday I was thinking of giving the GT-R a spin again after a while not driving it at the next GT3 race, but with this track...

Practice server is up!

This week I shall practice in the car I am driving in the race The first 20 minutes was a bit stressful last night while my mind adjusted

.. but also tempted to try something else

 

[640er]

would have been nice to put the Audi to test here but I'm not in town this weekend. Have fun guys

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Back in the 911 again! Went awful last year so let's see how much I've learned in the mean time!

Any brilliant for setups? Obviously I need to checkout the setup pack for this track suggested by Interslice

 

[Kek700]

I have a setup here for the Porsche, can only use mediums here due to the corner combination not allowing the overheating tyre from recovering.
if you are quicker then no point? even an old fart like what I am on mediums, is in the 48's
I also have the data logging for MoTeC if you wish, going on hol's tomorrow so let me know soon as possible.

I might give the setup a rip ernie if you can send it on. Struggling to get the ferrari to work here so will probably end up take something else. Whatever feels nice out of the box.

Enjoy the holidays

First of all a disclaimer, it’s an AC Porsche, I offered it to Casper because he has diligently driven that pig of a car for a while.
It is not easy. I have done my best with it, perfect it ain’t.
I can do many laps in it, tried to give it as much grief as I could. Mostly successfully.
But it is as Rasmus pointed out, a broken car, you, or should I say I, just cannot get around that.
I have thought about it for ages, because it is my favourite GT3 car.
I pass it onto you as a broken car with a now broken man’s attempt to get it to work.
I advise not changing anything, it is so critical to get the balance right, any changes and you will be spinning like the Lamborghini does.
But you may have a brain wave and get it to work better than I managed.
Give a write up about what you think, go easy, the car is broken , and so am I.

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Alright, giving it a go ernie! I will also try and find some feedback in the MoTeC thingymajigger and pretend I am a data scientist!

Also, I've tried many different cars but I just keep gravitating towards the 911 for some reason. Definitely making progress with it.

 

[Kek700]

If you think it is sh*t I will give your setup a try out.
If you do not mind.
I know that a small change can make a noticeable difference when I drive this car, so many variables.

 

[The Almighty Snark]

I've got no setup done yet, haven't had time to properly do so. Usually I do some BB, ARB, wing, tyres and fuel. I tend to drive a lot with the default setups honestly.

Thanks ernie, I know you have put alot of hours and hardship into the car. I will give it my best notec analysis! I raced the 911 once before and had one of my most enjoyable races in it, at nurburgring gp. The corners here are very different, so hope i can get it to behave itself at least The only other time i tried it seriously was at monza and i just couldn't get it to handle the ascari exit, over the last left hand kerb it was autospinning, so i got back in the lambo. My feel of it at the time was a broken car. To be spinning like that on soft tyres, that were at a good temp, something felt wrong with it. Not sure if was the diff, massive aero stall or what... Pity as it was really nice around the rest of track.

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Ernie, your setup is really stable, love it. Allows you to catch it easily no matter what it does! Haven't delved into the motec data yet but I can now do 52's all day, which is about .2 slower then my all-time fastest lap here in the 911(Last year). And I know I haven't nailed down most corners yet!

 

[Interslice]

Beautiful Ernie, that is a work of art.

I'm still a little too nervous with it but you can feel it baiting you into pushing harder. It's very light on its feet when you get it right.

 

[Interslice]

Made a quick practice lap video. Obvious errors at T3 and arrabiatta 2. It's bumpy through there!
Not sure how to approach correntiao. I know some people take a very wide V shape line there. Maybe that is slower but easier on the soft tyres, not sure.

Nice lap! Though I've been told to keep the power on a little with the 911 and not coast too much, it tends to keep the car a bit more predictable and stable overall. Then again you are a better driver then me so take that with a grain of salt!

Arrabiatta and Correntiao are indeed tricky, haven't found a good angle yet though I was planning on looking at some IRL footage of the 24hr race or something like that.

Thanks Casper, I'll look into the throttle thing more. Hopefully get another practice go in it before the race. It seems to have some benefits alright.
