If the children are in bed on time, I'll be present

 

[Justin Swan]

Probably taking a night off

 

[Gijs van Elderen]

had good fun!

first time with the WTCC cars. the beemer felt quit stable.
lars and I shared our paintwork at some times. But that's what close racing is.
lap times kept on improving. i came close to Peters lap times.
i made a few pitting presets. but i think i had the wrong one on top, because i came a few liters short in the end. I quick pitstop solved the problem.

Thanks for showing up.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

I experienced the same brake problem today that occurred during the Mini event yesterday. This caused me several SnG's in the races, slowed me tremendously and had me making contact with other drivers lapping me as well as putting me off at times when all I should have been doing was slowing to go wide and let drivers through.
I just took my recently acquired, used G25 pedal apart to find that it already had the Nixim brake mod installed, stiffer spring and a rubber block to help with a real feel.

I can only think that the rubber block was getting stuck somehow making so I could not push the pedal down enough to get full brake. I've removed the block and will try see if the same problem comes back, doubt it. Even without the rubber the spring is stiff, it just doesn't have the feel of being hydraulic that the rubber adds.

Anyhow, fun being on track with you today!

Dennis you could also adjust your logitec profiler. That rubber block prevents you from pressing the pedal 100%.

Quote from: http://www.simnewsdaily.com/reviews/nixim-g27-pedal-mod/
At first it took us a few laps to get used to the pressures needed to the pedal, also our first few laps we took the time to adjust the settings both in game and in the Logitech profiler where Nixim recommends a dead zone of around 30-35% and a brake pedal sensitivity of 75%. Both these settings can be adjusted to your preference depending on what you feel most comfortable with.

And.
lower the range (if necessary) until you find the sweet spot of the rubber block. until you just lock up your brakes when pressing the pedal really hard.

 

[Dennis Phelan]

@Gijs van Elderen , thanks for that, I'll look in to that too. For several weeks the pedal responded very nicely to pressure and never gave me a problem. Only in the last two races have I not been able to lock up and here's the fun part, it doesn't happen until I'm laps into the race! I get through practices, Q and warmup without a problem, even doing longer stints in practice, which is easy now that the same track is used several times a week. Duringthose periods I can lock the brake easily but when the problem comes on I just about have to stand on the pedal. This makes it a bit tricky to figure out. I'm driving basically the same cars for this time period and it happens to both WTCC and Mini, I can't remember it happening in last weeks races. I'll get it in the end and probably find out it's just my bad driving

 

[Justin Swan]

Didn't know about this mod, just found them on ebay for £17.99 delivered. When funds are better I might see about getting these

 

[Arunas]

I know what you mean Arunas, I just switched to a G25.

But you have switched from DFGT to G25 (FFB -> FFB), till I have switched from 180 degrees non FFB to G27

 

[Justin Swan]

i was told that using a wheel would make me faster, pah not yet but jeez has it made racing 1,000,000% more fun
thanks Dennis for organizing these races and thanks to each and every driver that sits on the grid on race night

one day, in this game or the next i will be racing hard.

It took me a while to get faster using a wheel from using a 360 controller but much more rewarding when you get use to it. Can't give a time scale, it's just naturally progressing the more I use it. I've had my G27 about 8 months now and had a DFGT for about 8 months before that. Previous to that I used an xbox360 controller and only really played RacePro.

 

[Rui F. Martins]

I'm going to take part in this one, on tuesday and maybe saturday, thursday is completely impossible for me, since i only arrive home at around the time pratice starts, and that is if i can get home quickly, plus i still have to eat and all that stuff so it's a bit thight, but on tuesday i'm completely free and probably on saturday too

 

[Aaron Channer]

Yes please Dennis.

 

[Phil Lawrence]

is there anywhwere to get those cars without getting the whole race on bundle from steam it appears i am missing this content.

 

[Bob Luneski]

You don't need the Race On Bundle if you already have Race07, just the Race On expansion http://store.steampowered.com/app/8780/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1


Always up for open wheelers, please sign me up

 

[Justin Swan]

It's a shame we're not getting more sign ups. These and the formula bmw are lovely to race,

 

[Arunas]

[Arunas]

[Matthias]

Sign me up please

 

[Justin Swan]

Well I'm not suited to the car or the track. I guess we'll find out as the week goes on.........

 

[Krisztián Tóth]

Really nice races, R1 was a bit boring after i was on my own, but was fun anyway, i made a silly mistake at the last corner..tipical me..
R2 was more exciting, start from the back, after a really bad start, i followed dennis and after the 2nd fast corner i had a bit luck and i was faster a bit but everybody was front of me and i didnt want to crash so i had to lift a bit, but i caught the slip stream and came up next to Dennis but he sheperd me a bit to the grass, fortunately i was relaxed and didnt make any silly thing and managed the car back to the road, after i passed Dennis and Justin i had a nice little battle with Arunas, unfortunately after some nice laps he disappeared from my mirror. And as usual i made a silly mistake again in the last lap!
Wd everyone , nice races thanks!

 

[Dennis Phelan]

I think this is a difficult track and we're certainly not used to these cars. If you weren't familiar with the track , give it a week! It's not a new track to me but I'm still learning more about it each lap.

R1: Somehow I ended up in 2nd and Arunas and Justin were far enough behind after their "tussle" that if I I didn't make too many mistakes I could hold onto it. I made mistakes but came thru for myself.

R2: Sorry Krisztián, I didn't realize I had left you with no room. Well, the boy's just took off from me in this one. I suffered through a few cramps but got to the end with my fastest lap of the day!

Thanks for attending guys!
