[Guido Trampe]

Can I grab a spot in the Group C please Guido? I had to flip a coin to decide the class, so if you want me to switch to the M1 on the day to even out the numbers, I'll be more than happy to do so

Hi everyone Group C please!

Welcome guys!

 

[Eric S]

It has been rescheduled. You can sign up Eric

Yes

So it's not rescheduled? I don't understand your comment.

Group C Nissan is now loaded on the server. There have been issues/bugs with it in low downforce mode, though there was a new patch today that hopefully fixed that. Best to test on the practice server if you want to use the Nissan.

 

[Guido Trampe]

I had issues with FFB in this car. Felt like FFB was in reverse. It has way more HP then the other cars, wonder if this will be a fair fight with the other group C's

Yeah Sorry. My bad.. this one wasnt rescheduled

 

[Bhutch88]

I'll sign up in group C then please. I'll try Nissan today and see what it's like.

 

[Guido Trampe]

Welcome Billy, Nissan it is!

Oh, haven't tried it. The main reason for me was that it looks like it's possible to see the side mirrors in this car

Just buy 2 additional screens. You can then see them in any car.

The group C cars offer a great immersion with their narrow cockpits. Really enjoyable. Also very tricky on this track wich turns out to be way more difficult then you would expect.

I have! But the group c mirrors are so high, they are over the screen. Anyways, hope to get my first test laps tomorrow maybe, see you all on thursday evening

Hallo, ich liebe die Gruppe C und vor allem den Sauber C9. Ich bin gestern viele Runden auf Daytona gefahren. Leider habe ich das Problem, das ich bei "authentischen" Fahrhilfen, also kein ABS, kein TC und keine Stabilitätskontrolle, das Auto kaum fahren kann.

Ich kann das Auto ohne ABS und ohne TC mit Stabilitätskontrolle fahren, aber ohne Stabilitätskontrolle, bricht mir ständig das Heck aus. Wenn ich so vorsichtig das Gas drücke werde ich gnadenlos von der KI überholt. Ich kann nur bei vollständig gerade gestellten Lenkrad Gas geben, ansonsten bricht das Heck aus.

Ich weiß das der C9 mit seinen 1000Nm schwer zu fahren ist, aber so schwer kann doch nicht sein, oder?
Ich habe Loadcell Pedale und kann auch gut fahren. GT3 und GTE kann ich auch gut kontrollieren ohne jegliche Fahrhilfen.

Ich fahre den C9 auch mit H Schaltung und Kupplung. Nur das fahren ohne Stabilitätskontrolle bereitet mir enorm Schwierigkeiten.

Hat jemand ähnliche Probleme oder einen Tipp?

 

[Redvaliant]

Hi Florian, it's English only in the forums, but I get what you are saying - the C9 is a devil to drive. Yes, it's probably the hardest of the Group Cs as it's super powerful. We don't use artificial aids in our races, only the aids that the car had by default. I'd suggest trying the Porsche and lower the boost to get it drivable. Many of us use H pattern shifters and a manual clutch in the classic cars and it gets better the more you drive them. If you are still having issues, I'd suggest trying the BMW M1. Anyone have any setp tips for the Sauber for Florian?

 

[Lizard77]

Sorry, my English is only semi good.
Thanks for the help, yes, the C9 is a devil that's true.
I'll try to lower the boost


Entschuldigt, mein Englisch ist nur Semi gut.
Danke für die Hilfe, ja, der C9 ist ein Teufel das stimmt.
Ich versuche mich mal daran den Boost zu senken.

I did a session on the race server and the Sauber is brutal. It destroys tyres, and is a real handful. I found it doesn't like deep braking into the corner, it gets very light on the rear and can rotate very easily. It is so fast that you need to brake early and hard and then get off the brakes and gently, very gently, get on the throttle to balance it. Once in 3rd gear you can nail it. I think you need to run as much wing as you can and play with the diff settings to get it stable into and out of slow corners. We don't mention laptimes in the forum, but it's quicker than the Porsche. I'll try the Corvette and Nissan later tonight after the Tuesday race and see how they compare.

I lowered the coast and preload settings on the diff and it helped quite a bit. It's still a beast on accel but makes the braking more manageable.

Which is why I chose it for the Spa race

 

[Redvaliant]

Jan, your setup ideas would be a great help for anyone foolish brave enough to drive this car. Or the Corvette. Or the Nissan.

 

[Jan Larsen]

Happy to help, I'm heading on the server now and will report my findings.

Edit: 18gb update, gimme 10 mins.

Move the chair back (you can bind key’s) for it. Or change FOV. They fit fine with me
