AC GT3 @ Okayama - Sunday 26th July 2020

[HF2000]

I am going with the Z4 at basically standard setup, just put up the tire preassure a tiny notch.
Still have understeering. But I started sim racing like two weeks ago, so I have no experience.
My fastest lap atm is a 1:31:717, but I am relatively consistent in the high and low 1:32 region which is fine for me.

That is certainly not bad for a beginner!

@djm68 You coming for this one?

@Chris Down,
Chris, I've been doing a lot of testing and came to the conclusion that the Nissan suits me best.
Can you change the Z4 into the Nissan please?

@all

thanks for the good advice and encouraging words. Much appreciated !! Nice to see that this is such a friendly and helpful community

Did my first race a few months ago here, spinned like 4 time and finished 24e (last i think haha). But it was such good (and fair) racing, i loved it! Just try it, doesn’t matter if you finish last. You learn so much in these races. The top guys are so bloody fast, so it’s always nice to compare your lap times with them and try to get as close as posible.

911 keeps wanting to oversteer big time out of corners. Expect to see many drifts if you're behind me.

We are getting some unexpected visit in the evening. Could be that I am not going to make it . Every time Okayama is on the schedule something unexpected comes up on race day.

@Chris Down is it fair to ask, to sign me up with a R8 as reserve, just if I can make it in time and don't steal the last spot from another one?

I've no idea if it's a hard task or just putting a car on the list...

 

[Neilski]

I'm not normally keen on long races but I feel like giving this one a go - 911 please
(I've been spinning a bit less in practice since I dialled the TC back one notch, IIRC @Spilskinanka)

Edit: oh and I have to ask - what tyre strategy would be recommended for the race? (Clueless about long stints in these cars and no time to do some stints to find out )

Sorry mate, I'm a real noob in motorsports.
How can a car become more stable if you turn down traction control??

 

[FischBoB]

Wont be able to make it back home for the race. So im out for this one

Well, I mean I made it one notch more likely to intervene (lower slip threshold). In the amazing topsy-turvy reality of AC, that actually means a lower number. Zero is off, but 1 is the "safest" level and the highest available number is the closest level to "off". (Hope that made sense! )

Welcome! It's not a problem, I'll just add you.

Common strategies are:

• Soft, 50% fuel at stop and no tyre change
• Soft, 50% fuel at stop and tyre change
• Medium, 50% fuel at stop and no tyre change
• Medium, 1l fuel at stop and no tyre change

...although others are available. I've done some other mixes too, depending on how much I think track position is going to fit in.

For soft to last 30+ minutes you need to be pretty careful with them. I'd recommend sticking with one set of mediums and doing 50% fuel if you are just getting used to it

 

[stribbeck]

@Chris Down can i please change to the 911 ??

thanks

 

[Medilloni]

My apologies for the late notice @Chris Down Chris, feeling a bit under the weather, sorry I'll miss tonight.

Thanks as always for putting it on for everyone, and y'all have a great race A replay would be nice to see what I've missed!

 

[Reik Major]

Welcome! It's not a problem, I'll just add you.

Arghhhh... Sorry to be a pain for you. It just became clear I won't make it in time. Was hoping for it to happen.

Hope to race with you sometimes again.

When I raced the 911 I burned the rear tyres so I never used the softs in these events.

I think I have the stupidest statement on this site ever. Ran into some friends and we had a couple of beers. I'm completely wasted (shitfaced in English) now. So racing will not work. If you all think it's okay I still want to login to the server to hear the communication and see lap times, but only as an observer

That way I can check if all software is correctly installed as well

@Chris Down, I feel like a dumbass, but since you're brittain, I guess you'll understand

 

[djm68]

@djm68 You coming for this one?

Yes, if it is still possible! 911, please!

 

[Chris Down]

Yes, if it is still possible! 911, please!

Welcome! Still possible, no worries
