One thing I haven't seen mentioned is what is the time of the race going to be set to? Can make quite a difference to the tyres.

 

[Michael Watts]

So, are we running double headers on the 3rd and 17th?

Not that I'm aware of think that's probably a mistake. No way could I see a double header being possible.

 

[Peter Hooper]

Really struggling to find a setup that im comfortable with here. Can't get the feel to have any consistency at all. Real fun though but 50 laps is going to be tough for sure.

 

[mcnasty1]

Same boat here.lol

 

[Michael Watts]

the 3rd is do-able minus the time conflict, but the 17th, that's like 3 hours of racing

The time difference is always going to make it tough. But apart from an occasional true endurance race more than a couple of hours racing is too much in one sitting.

No, I threw those schedules together pretty quickly. That was certainly not my intention, and thanks for bringing to my attention Michael. I'll take a look and adjust accordingly.

Anybody else have the driver network and time trial locked post patch?

Anybody else have the driver network and time trial locked post patch?

Yes. I did for about 24 hours after the patch. I thought it was patch related, but then and again I remember to check the "Live" website, and their network was having issues. That may be the case with you if your internet is fine.

XBL all good here so nothing to do with that. Just checked pCars forums and it's patch related... hit and miss whether you get access to them or not each time you start up

 

[Rob]

Same boat here.lol

I have a pretty comfortable setup. It was based on the "baseline" version in this website:
http://projectcarssetups.eu/#/bycar

The one Michael originally found. However, I made a few key adjustments. although I think we are all in the same boat with this car ("some say" Damn I miss that show...FU BBC. lol) that this car is the hardest to drive in the game. God help us if it rains. Besides that, the game is no joke:

I'll make a video of my setup and post it. Not sure it will help much, but I can say that a 50 lapper is at least imaginable. Probably going to have to pit a few times, but I just hope I don't destroy it. I have no idea how they drove these cars for a few years.

That's actually a good thing, in the big picture, I think. Mine were back pretty quickly.

 

[Michael Watts]

What you have to pay attention too is if your GT is in the upper right hand corner along with your current car. Or if instead of your GT it just says player while in a lobby. Then you have to quit the game and restart it. I've noticed that since patch 3.0

 

[Rob]

I absolutely love Jenson. But if he has to go...

Just wanted to say that after Singapore (the race that confirmed Kimi is obviously past his prime and Vettel is not the best driver on the grid ) my respect for Verstappen shot up a mile. For a kid that age to tell his team off when they give him a ridiculous order. Wow. That tells me all I need to know about that Max. He is a chip off the old block for sure. And I'm going to have to rethink my age objection. lol.

My tire pressures have never given me a problem either pre or post patch. They are F-85. R-90.

They seems awfully low. Shall have to give a try though see if makes any better

Yeah I've noticed that too.

Why is that a good thing pain in the ass if you're trying to access those and have to keep restarting each time. One guy in the forum did it 17 times before it worked for him .

I tried one of the setups there but it wasn't for me. Added even more understeer lol. I have a setup that I think will get me through the 50 laps but lacking much in the way of pace so I'll be hoping to avoid too many offs and play the ol' tortoise and hare game
