So. I have created the calendar for this series based on Birgir's suggestion of 2020 F1 events
Like the idea, and it's a no brainer for me to do
I have been doing some more testing at the tracks, which are mostly quite fast tracks, and these Tatuus F4 cars to me are
just plain boring at these tracks. With max front grip, min rear grip min rear wing they still just understeer and you have to try
hard to lose the back end. Will produce some close racing, which is a good thing, but we already have an easy drive
series with the Scirocco. I have been testing the F90, which are proper F1 cars, are evocative of the era, sound
amazing, particularly the V10, and with some setup mods and a gentle right foot I can drive them.
I assumed that everyone would just run max power (the engine maps are 1-5) but it isn't that straightforward
My best time at Zeltweg for a long time, was with the V8 at Map 1 and reduced rear wing. I could hit the power earlier
and with more confidence, though it was slower on the straights than Map 5, it had to be a long straight for
Map 5 to catch up. At Monza and Spa I could run Map 5 with some care, but at the slower tracks with off camber
corner exits, like T1 and 2 at Zeltweg I found Map 5 too risky.
There are subtle differences between the V12, V10 and V8. The V10 is the hardest to drive for me, it seems heavier at the rear
and wants to swap ends into and out of corners more than the other two. It may be the fastest in the right hands
but My best lap at Zeltweg was in the V12 @ 1:17.0 with map 4 and max rear wing. V8 was 1:17.3 with map 1 and half rear wing
V10 was 1:18.1 at Map 5 and full rear wing.
I have moved this series to F90, they are way more involving, and I can drive them easier than the Touring Classics
Have a run in the V12 at Spa if you want to try one. It is quite satisfying
