AC Multiclass Audi TT/ Mazda MX5 @ RedBullRing National, Wednesday 30th June 2021

[stigs2cousin]

At least now I know why you guys like the Audi so much:

it doesn´t just drive like a tank, it´s build like one
If you kill a Mazda, it´ll buff right out

Hi Des,

I can't remember you having joined our events in the past so I assume you're new.

You're very welcome! If you sign up, please read the first post and the second post of this thread.
Especially the Golden Rule, and the qualification/blue flags rules are important for this event.

See you on track!

 

[Des Bain]

Hi Colin,

I am looking to take part in this event but I need to wait nearer the time due to work commitments. Hopefully I can as the MX5 is great and its a good combo with that track.

I have signed up now and will confirm when I can.

Yeah Han, I know it´s FWD.
Thats part of its (.....) charme

As I´ve not owned a FWD since `96 and have done all my "fun driving" on RWD it´s a completely new journey for me.
So I´m way out of my comfort zone with this on
( don´t fear to embarrass yourself in front of friends and learn something new on the way)

What I don´t understand is your setup choice?
Why would I choose more rear grip with steeper wing when I´m suffering terminal understeer?

I myself have loosend up the rear considerably, gives me a few tenth but is better to drive
( for me, I like/need rotating cars)

Still working on " not killing" FL tyre though.
( medium slick, right??)

From my super-newbie point of view, the only thing I tried to do was to increase the pressure on the FL tyre to try to limit the temperature from increasing too much.
I did obtain some result with it, but I continue to understeer especially in the Wurth section. This is the only change I made as I hadn't too much time to tinker, though I'd like to be able to increase the RR tyre temp as it's always blue.. I am into the low 55s this way but I know I'm a very lame driver so I expect to be last in class as usual.

I did some laps too but low 55's as race pace sounds OK to me!

Looks like a really good combination, very competitive, what with the Mazda and Audi traffic and the fact that most will be in tenths of one and another per lap, It should produce some very good racing.

Could try Hards, that is my tyre of choice.

Actually, I didn't, but I'll try them for sure. Thanks!

 

[stigs2cousin]

You can battle the understeer with a "loose" setup, reduce rear camber and add anti roll bar.
But carefull, too much rotation is also bad ( for your laptime )

In the moment im´experimenting with a more stable and "steery" front. A little (low speed) rebound helps.

I can't see the practice server. Can anyone else?

Yeah, server is running without problems.

I search for Mazda/Audi.

CM did an update today and now I can't see the practice server. I get this...

I've restarted CM and rebooted the PC but no luck. I saw the server yesterday

 

[stigs2cousin]

I refused that update because the changelog was empty.

May have been a smart ( ok, ok, lucky) move

Just checked, server is still there.

Those are old servers. Chang was two weeks ago. Try searching for 'racedepart'

19 sign ups for such a short track! It's going to be hectic tonight

"racedepart" didn't show up anything different. Hope I can actually see the race server tonight! What version of CM are you on Han? Could you restart the server and see if that helps?

Try loading thru Assetto Corsa see if that does it..
