Round 6 of the Lamboghini Huracan Super Tropheo!

Our Eastward trek around the globe now continues to the US, with Round 6 being held at JohnRs' fabulous and massively improved Road Atlanta.
If you are someone with with far too many 3rd party apps and suffer any issues with this circuit, then please be sure to read the instructions over at the download page - it seems some apps interfere with the track and cause crashes, I ran s-tracker, Helicorsa and a fuel app without issue here during testing so it is presumably some of the odder stuff that causes issue.

There are no mandatory pitstops so your strategy is entirely up to you.
Tire warmers will be enabled so that we don't have to go through the pain of a warm-up lap and rolling start.

Ah, a new version of the RA track this one. Looking forward to trying this out.

Hello Guys,

Is there any open server to get training ?
I am used to race in GPL since a long time, in different leagues (UKGPL sometimes too)

Btw, I am still getting trouble with my G27 wheel setting. It seems like the ° angle I set in Logitech profiler is just ignored by AC.
Only ran few runs in Brands Hatch in Ferr 458 GT2 for now ;)

Thanks
ToM

Just search for "sro" in the AC lobby and you'll find the server.

Hi Tom, welcome to AC.
Firstly, AC will set the steering angle to suit the car you are driving - you will find that some cars (F1's and similar) have a very low steering ratio, road cars and old touring/GT's will have a steering ratio similar to a conventional road car.
All this is coded into the data files for each car, including mods.
Essentially you don't really want to stop AC from adjusting the settings, if for some reason you still do then I believe there is a checkbox in the logitech software called something like 'override application settings'. With that enabled the wheel should stay at whatever you set it to.

As for finding the server, if you type .org.uk into the search menu then you can't fail to find us - unless the server has thrown a wobbly and crashed of course.

Once you've figured your way around the game interface and controls I'd recommend getting the following apps:

Protyres: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/protyres.14030/ (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/protyres.14030/)
This will give far more info than the stock tire app and help you set the car up better.

P-tracker: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ptracker.3509/ (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ptracker.3509/)
It's not supported anymore but most servers still run it to track lap times (once a few people have driven the track you'll be looking at the server version if you click the laptimes button in post 1)

Helicorsa: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/helicorsa.5199/ (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/helicorsa.5199/)
Even if you don't get anything else - get this, it's an absolute lifesaver for judging the position of cars around you. Put it this way - it's so good they implemented it as a stock app in ACC ;)

A fuel app of some sort can also be handy, coming from GPL you'll be used to calculating fuel the hard way - but having something actually tell you your average fuel burn per lap is simple luxury...

Salut FullMetal

Thanks for these informations.
Finally I spent time yesterday night and understood how to setup the wheel. That is much better.

I will have a look to your server ;) and maybe try to improve my skills there lol
The way to use the pedals during braking phases is very different than on gpl.


See y !
ToM

hi

merci tim

I also get the info, héhéhé

 ;D ;D ;D

philippe

Great track!

This will get me in the mood for Petit Le Mans in a couple of weeks time  :)

Could you tell what is decent lap there please ?

Thanks  :thumbup1:

Welcome to AC side Phillipe, Tom  :)

My idea of a decent lap time is 1:22 but I expect that to be at least a couple of seconds off the faster types.

Thanks Bro, I only tried the Medium compound.

How to see is on the server from outside AC please ?

click on the live timing link in the first post - I believe there is then a button in the webpage that opens called live-map.
This won't always have a map, but even when it doesn't there is a list of drivers on the server

Merci, I got it.

Do we have to set the driving help manually or the server do it for us ? Am talking about the ABS and TC
Which level of help is allowed please ?

Thx

going a tiny bit o/t,  anyone fancy some real life practice?

 8)

Could you also tell me what is the right pressure for each type of compound please ?

I am training in Hard because the Medium one heats up too much (and too fast)

Thanks !!

Hi Tom. The server will set all of the driver aids (enable/disable) so you don't need to change anything.
Download the pro-tires app I linked to earlier as that will tell you the correct pressures for your tires, it's one of the most useful apps for AC

Salut FullMetal,
Ok for the helps. So we are allowed to use all TC level from 1/12 to 12/12 right ?
Yes I have Pro-tyres, actually, i have 2 differents box which indicates tyres infos (pro-tyre is the non-resizable one i think). I can see the T° et pressures, but it does not tell me why my Medium tyres get too warm in 1 hotlap lol

Tom,  any TC level is fine, if the server allows it (which it does)... at least in all the races I have ever done here if the car has that TC or ABS in real life then we can use it.

Medium tyres overheat so fast because this car is raging bull that wants to throw you off and kill you - you're not doing anything wrong, its just this car.  They're ok for qually laps if you dont overdrive it, but useless for the races

Okay, thank you Max

Very good version of this track and fun in this car. I do have the sky disappear when I turn onto the back straight (T7) and it comes back right before the chicane (T10). Anyone is experiencing this too? Will have a look at changing some settings then maybe..

Phillipe sorry I missed your question in game,  but the answer is no - no pitstop required

As I forgot to mention this earlier - the UK is now back to GMT, so for many of you Europeans the practice server is actually starting an hour later - so that's now just under an hour away ;)

Hi guys !
Not sure to be in tonight....still at work. ;D

Sorry i missed it, my cooking went on way too long...

Good to see some new faces on the grid  :thumbup1:

Had decent pace here as I know the track well but never really put a lap together in quali. Start was a disaster for me, too much brake into T1 and as I tried to counter the oversteer the car snapped back and put me off track into the wall  :-[

Thankfully only minor damage and I was able to chase back eventually up to my quali position.

Sachsenring in the Lambo is going to be horrible for me.....I'd better start practicing now  ::)

Did a bit better last night, all was going well till I went off trying to watch car behind in mirrors. Driving in VR this car is the pits as I don't use any apps. Only good point was my lap times were getting better as the race went on.

You may have to wait on the results - The site is being VERY slow whenever I try to upload.
I'll either try again after the cinema tonight or tomorrow morning.
Sorry for the delay!

I was somewhat off pace as I've spent the last week re-visiting Elite Dangerous instead of doing any practice, by the end of practice and Qualifying I could get close to Max and Lorenzo but was still not quite there.
In the race I managed to stay fairly close to Lorenzo but then had a really nasty tank-slapper while dropping down after the bridge, I think that put me in about 5th. I had some fun fighting back up through the field, but after that I was never going to even SEE the front 2 so aside from seeing the odd backmarker I had a boring race.

Big pity as I really like the track, it's a vast improvement on the old versions.
