Just a warning that it looks like there will be a big update on wednesday adding in the TCR cars to R3E.

Well on facebook they have been showing off all the TCR cars for the last week, and was just about to check the store for them.

I think we all knew the WTCR was coming, there was talk of an update too (still to come, sometime between now n early September). At the time my update completed, there was no info from Sector 3. So, I couldn't post a link to anything.

Enjoyed my run out in the 935, more competitive than I expected to be.

Hope I wasn't causing anyone any problems, Rog & Frex both followed me at stages of the race, was all OK?

Yes Geoff, no problems from my side - you're connection looked rock solid to me, and good to race with you again. Nice to see John back too, hopefully you'll both be able to join in more regularly now. We dream of getting 10+ starters on the grid around here..!

Great cars, great race, congrats John and Riccardo.

Looked like a good race from the results  ;D
If I had been able to join that would have made double figures  :thumbup1:
As always with these things, the more come, the more will come.

Hi Geoffers saw no problem with your connection. Yep great race for me panicked when Picnic caught me so quickly and passed soon followed by Eck, lost the flow end of race and was driving badly sorry to Bill last lap.

Great, good to hear I didn't cause any probs, got superfast broadband now so should be OK. Just need to get used to these sort of cars now, sections of the track where Frex was much faster, although checking the sector times in qually, I was fastest of all through the middle sector but losing lots of time in sectors 1 & 3.

Is there still no way of checking tyre temps in RRE? No idea if my camber settings are good or way out.

 No problem I had lots of bad laps, trouble was trying to keep out of the way of lappers and touching a slippery kerb or the grass! Then getting back onto the track with dirty tyres, keeping on the track for the next  corner and slowing down to try and get back on line only to go off again! Sorry to anyone affected by my grass cutting excursions.  ::)

Not without third party apps I don't think.

Crew Chief does tyre temps, but not sure if it gives different readings across the tyre surface for setting up camber. Web Dashboard (https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/r3e-web-dashboard-released.2317/ (https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/r3e-web-dashboard-released.2317/)) definitely does do this, but you'll need a separate screen (phone, iPad) set up for it. However, I have read that trying to set up the car based on tyre temps is not reliable in RRE, and much better just to go on what you feel when you make changes. What camber were you running?

Off the top of my head, default on the rear & 0.2 degreees more negative on the front.

I had zero camber on the rear and front at default, but you're in the ballpark - the rest is just down to personal taste..

Setups would be useful as to know how people are driving these. Monza was the only one i felt i had some control, the other two races i've given up as the car is so hateful, i'm not enjoying it.

I didn't find the 935 that difficult even with default setup. I'm having much more difficulty getting the GT3 cars around Suzuka at anything like a competitive speed.  :-\
