rF2 *Special Event* FIA WSC Group C - Fuji Film Cup '90 - Fri 30 December 2022 (Including real life race watch-along!)

Low pressure = more grip. But should mean more moving around and thus higher temps.
View attachment 626058

This is from the readme/tech sheet for the mod. I must admit, I don't understand it

It is probably worth a test though.
Also. The optimum pressure might be reached by having the lowest possible in garage. The pressure mentioned are on track, after heating.

The problem with the RF2 tyre model is that you are forced to fine tune the in game tire with all these tools to represent the real thing.
And that's the problem, data from real tire manufacturer is the hardest thing to get.
So you kind of are developing blind and somehow guessing what the real thing should work/behave like.

It lives or dies with real data...
Same for aero of cars. Info that is soo hard to get. For old and new cars.
A 60's small endurance team never saw a wind tunnel that gives the data you would need as input.

Same for modern cars, a well kept secret because its performance and competitive impacting..

While not Dunlop, Yokohama or Goodyear, I think there's been some help to make the tyre model for the Gr.C cars!

Happy holidays!

I am in, sign me up, please!

Woop Woop! Toad-Power!

In please.

I will have no time to test, so it will just be the car with the coolest paint job

IIRC you didn't have much time to test (if any) before Mosport either. That ended up with a win! ;P In you are!

Merry Christmas! I haven’t raced for a while and group c cars are a challenge for me, but I’ll do some testing and see how I get on with them.

We all live for challenges ;P
Based on my long techy posts. The Mazda, or low-boost Porsche with Yokohama tires is friendly in terms of Gr.C. The positive, race-wise is that you have less fuel usage, and thus less time standing still filling fuel as well. Which can take well over a minute

But of course, you need to feel comfortable enough to have fun

Go on Ole sign me up.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Go on Ole sign me up.

Ooorah!

As the Mak-Corp site seems to have some small issues right now.

Here is the link to the templates in case someone wants to make their own livery! https://mega.nz/file/uREmRDjQ#VVQ-aBsgnsi62S23XVUmagPH-hJYjdrRR72tiPmosmw

Oldschool Suzuka and Group C. Sign me up for that.

 

[Rich Green]

I did a bit of testing and I don’t think Grp C is for me. LMP/GTE is more my cup of tea, so I’ll wait until those races start up again. Thanks for the mention and have a good race

No worries. Crazy historic cars certainly are not for everyone

i'm trying to do a skin for the Porsche and i have some trouble with the windows, the banner and the rims skinning part. With the templates there are an exemple for each car, for the Porsche the Banner should be name altExtra2, the windows should be named 962C_Windowsout and 962CWindowsin and the rims according to the one you want 962C_Extra100, Extra101 and Extra102 but when i do that it doesn't work ingame. I even try to put their exemple ingame and it doesn't work anyone have any ideas why it doesn't work ?

Nope :/ Me and Roy had the same issues with the 90'sBTCC stuff. We named it exactly like it is in the mod, tried different templates/based on the mod, but the windows never changed.
I'll try to have a look at it tomorrow when I'm back home

If i name the banner WINDSHIELDOUT and WINDSHIELDIN the banner works but then i'm stuck with what ever it's on the rest of the windows and the lights glass.

If you turn the boost down (as you'll have to in the race to avoid too many stops) it'll be much easier to drive

I dont dare to do that, fear of not backing up important stuff! Hah!

You'll be on the list when I get home ;P
