AC GTE @ Road Atlanta - Sunday 15th January 2023

[Kek700]

M3 please Brian.

 

[Reik Major]

Is there a practice server up right now? Don't see one.

I've installed the latest track from the link. Should I know about something else?

Stupid question btw: Will a practice server have all the mentioned BOP adjustments?

 

[robthesquare]

Put me down for the BMW M3 GT2.

 

[Interslice]

I'll take a spot please. Will have to test the cars first. Want to see what the ferrari & bmw can do around here

Yes please. Car tbc

I love the track! The cars however are ones I almost never drive. So I'll confirm the car later.

RSR for me please Brian.

Welcome Gents!

 

[Interslice]

Is this multi-class or will the BOP make them fairly even?

BOP makes them pretty even. All these cars raced at the petit le mans in the GT/GTLM class, just not all in the same year.

 

[Interslice]

Yes please Brian, car TBC for now

Time to get back in the car for the first time in 10 months I think. One C7R for me please, Brian Thanks!

put me down for this one with RSR please. love that damn car.
as always, thanks!

I'll take a spot. Not sure on which car yet. Need to run a few laps.

Welcome fellas! Welcome back Chris! Hope you're doing well

Hey Reik, It will always match the race server. You can check the BOP on your car in the pit timing screen.

 

[Interslice]

Practice Server is up!!

BOP updated for Ferrari and just now the Corvette too.

The AMEC BOP for 911/C7R which I think more or less everyone was happy with was:

911: +30kg/20%
C7R: +15kg/10%
488: +0kg/0%

So if the 10% restrictor is about right for 488 compared to the BMW, one would think something like:

911: +30kg/30%
C7R: +15kg/20%
488: +0kg/10%
BMW: +0kg/0%

The trouble is always what level of driver you're bopping for, of course. The 911 and BMW are definitely the easiest cars to drive since they are very responsive, and the 911 is also the fastest car by a long way: and even more so on tracks with lots of corners.

The C7R and 488 are more difficult since you have to use the torque a lot to convince the car to turn, but they are better in a straight line, which makes them harder to overtake in race pace, but worse in qualifying.

Something close to this should make it pretty equal between fast drivers, at least.

The 458, I reduced it's restrictor from 15 - 10 for this event. No one really uses it, or sticks with it at least. It feels very different with the restrictor as it looses it rotation on the throttle(As you say, the restrictor is probably affecting the C7R too). Starting with the 458, I have always wondered about this BOP since I started racing here. It might do better with more of a weight BOP.

I've reduced the C7R BOP a touch. The RD BOP originating from the nurburgring GP circuit is maybe why it's a bit skewed at other circuits. The short straights and banked corners are a bit unusual.

Not going too mad on the shake up for this one but will look closer at it for future events.

One last thing for tonight! I added this skin pack to the RSR. The Kunos selection is fairly poor!

Hmm, might have to rethink my car choice if that Coke livery is there Atlanta being where Coke was originally invented

It is indeed

I only installed the 2k pack(on my own PC, not sure how it works with VR, or an old PC, if you have both installed. Maybe it's linked to your graphics settings somehow, does anyone know?

 

[Alfred Wayne]

I could drive this track all day

Not sure Brian, in CM you can give different skins different number priorities and/or disable skins (like cars and tracks). Might be something in there where you can keep both versions but force it to use 2k

 

[Reefabus]

Sign me up please Brian. Chariot TBD.

 

[Kek700]

Is the server down for this event, unable to test as I cannot add restrictor and blast, I think I need CM.
