Not looking like it's possible so you won't be missing anything :-(

Sorry Han and guys, but I´m too weak for this car.

Tried several times, only got myself and everybody else killed.

This will be a better race without a loose cannon in it.

Maybe you should try the Merc C9 first. After that car the Mazda is a walk in the park.

So if I can´t handle a knife I should try a gun first??

Doesn´t make sense to me

Is anyone seeing and evidence of time multiplying? I still just see what looks like either sunset or sunrise

Hello, i am interested, can i get the password please ?

This thing is absolutely balls-to-the-wall bonkers. A few observations:

I discovered that if you take the aero all the way down, you can hit 350kph on the chicaneless Mulsanne, but good luck in the braking zone. I eventually decided to stop chasing top speed and I've gone for a 'safe' rear wing with moderate downforce. I lose 30kph+ on the straight compared to 'the suicide setup' but I instantly gain it back by being somewhat able to navigate a corner

For fellow aero-strippers - I've discovered that lowering the rear wing by 1 degree adds 2kph on the straight, while also increasing the chances of a spectacular death by a small chunk. It's a delicate balance!

Also, first and second gear will kill you if you're not gentle. I use flappy paddles and even short-shifting out of 2nd without lifting is enough to send the rears into party mode.

I just spent 79 minutes on the server and it remained 18:00 the entire time, so you're not alone!

Could you send me the password please.

Well, i've tried racing again, after a short break.. but this car is insane It only tried to kill me. But i got the feeling this car is very rewarding once you can really make it go fast around this track. Couldn't manage to do so, myself..

Well from the group C cars this one is the most friendly. Make sure you have enough rear wing, use short shifting in 2 and 3 and lower the car a bit.

For how lively the rear end on this car is, once you get the feel of it a little, it's a bit more controllable than you might think in the turns (don't be afraid of using the gas to turn a bit). Getting on the gas out of the straights is another story, "very slow is very fast". I also think trying to kill you is part of the driving experience

Been looking forward to racing group c ever since this spring's goodwood weekend

So part of its "murderous charme" is the stock setup?

I didn't change anything as I don't have any knowledge/experience with most of these settings.

I don't think so. Stock setup already has lots of rear wing and hits just shy of 315km/h..

I also wanted to try and I simply do not have the race craft to drive this beast. I proudly spin even the MX-5, go figure

I just wanted to chime in to confirm that also for me there's no such thing as time advancing even if I tried to connect at different times of (real life) day, and stayed connected for an hour or so, straight without disconnecting.

The 18h clock in game is most likely, as mentioned before, because of the "Basic Weather" Controller rather than "WeatherFX" on server side. (Which is only available with CSP and WeatherFX enabled on the Client Side and a Server especially using WeatherFX).
In my local tests the time changes also worked with a default Controller Script of CSP (so without SOL) but WeatherFX had to be enabled. And as mentioned the server needs to use WeatherFX, seemingly the Racedepartment server (practice server) does not, but the actual race it could still be because of s.gp, @HF2000?

Also without WeatherFX on a server "requiring" it, you should not have any issues as a client. The time will simply not advance. So day time all the time, while others see the time advance

 

[HF2000]

but the actual race it could still be because of s.gp,

That's what I'm hoping for and what this test is all about. But I don't know.

Hello I would like to participate could I have the password?

 

[Dani Martinez(Chechum)]

See you tomorrow again
Do we need SOL? I'm not sure if this is indicated somewhere (sorry if it's, I just haven't found it).

PD: just a personal taste, Le Mans with chicanes is better

You're right, it isn't in it. I didn't know it myself when I posted this thread. I've added it now.

I'm using the no chicanes version because we have allready done with chicane twice last week.

Oh man I missed them! I've been quite out of simracing lately. Actually this weekend I've driven back because I have Covid and now my motivation is back again! I needed to take a break hehe

Setup-wise, I've had most of my success taming this car with this Monza setup that someone posted a while back:

https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/mazda-787b-monza.101291/

My setup started with this and I've only made minor adjustments to the aero and ARBs, and even though it's still ready to kill you at any second, it is much more bearable than the default.
