United States & Canada

[Eric. K]

Tonight around 1130 pm central US time I will be on the server for Fridays STCC race for some practice if anyone wants to join. Provided the server is up. Have never raced that track so I need the practice time. Marty:bye:

Server is up and running

Sorry for my abscence lately.

Hi all, i wanted to apologize for the fact i haven't been around much lately.
I've had some major PC issues (memory leaks and other strange stuff).
But as of yesterday my rig is back up and running stronger than ever so i am back...
That sounds a bit too dramatic but hey, i am just glad RD is still here
See you out there.

 

[Marty Pierce]

Ya we miss you Marcel. See ya soon

Okay, FINALLY got around to checking the tyre temps. Here they are, recorded from the middle of each tyre:

Front Left: 91 deg C
Front Right: 110 deg C
Rear Left: 92 deg C
Rear Right: 101 deg C

Also found that my time has gone down to a 2:09... must be because I turned on tyre wear and fuel use... :bulgy-eyes:

 

[Eric Nelson]

Rhys,

About 200F is what the tires like without getting shredded pretty quick. convert those values to see where it compares.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

200F = 93.333...C. Ouch. Poor right-hand tyres. :sad:

 

[Eric Nelson]

you are heavily understeering. stiffen up the rear.

 

[Eric. K]

One quick comment - any chance of either moving these Sunday events either back or ahead 1 hour? As it stands practice starts at 6 pm here, which in an admittedly selfish way is inconvenient

The current time slot seems to be working really well. It is hard to adjust for 1 person only.

Oh I know this - I was hoping maybe there would be a small bandwagon that formed around it We all can dream sometimes :laugh2:

lol... we are having 20+ entries 3 weeks running now which is beyond anything I would hope for... Hard for me to changing it.

 

[Corey Theman]

yep no worries there, I had to try at least I'll make what I can.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

The car feels good, actually. It's just those high tyre temps that are worrying me.

 

[Eric Nelson]

ok if it feels ok and your lapping quickly then try upping the starting pressures to reduce heat build up.

Question is: How many laps are you running on them? you are heading for a 30 lap race and should probably try a 1 stop strategy. gotta find 15 laps in your set up. other wise, you have a nice qualifying set up but will be hopeless in race scenario.

 

[Eric. K]

You guys really should have been in our league we were running pre-qualies for the last 2 weeks!! almost as fun as the race itself...

I would have competed Eric, if it weren't for the really early start time. Oh, what might have been... :weep:
