UKGTL Season 4 GT Classics Cup - Interlagos - Dec 6

Re the 906 tendency to lockup under heavy braking, I find it is a problem of changing down too early and locking up the transmission - wait for it.

The brake balance on the standard setup is too far to the rear, which locks up the back wheels when you brake. (as proved by Kimi at Monza)

Blip and slightly hold some throttle under braking.

Could you please specify which corvette is admitted into these races. Last race I trained with the Team Shark Corvette, which was not permitted in the race.

I've asked the same question: you can use either of the '69 or '74 'vettes, the ones that weren't used last time.

[MortenS]

Thanks, Tib. I'll probably not use any of them, but still it's nice to know my options.

But after a testing session offline at this track today, I found the track to seem quite buggy. I had a man standing quite comfortable 1000ft up in the air, just watching the race peacefully. Also though the framerate were steady, I seem to lag a bit sometimes (offline). And some of the dark paved bufferzones off the track sometimes felt like driving on sand, and other times like concrete even with the texture looking the same all over.

Thank god someone else has seen that guy. I put it down to my medication. NURSE, NURSE!

I another thing I've noticed is that the racing surface looks like very rough gravel.

Well this is the Brazilian racing circuit!

On my machine the textures improve when I drop to direct x 8 but even with very high frame rates the track still seems to jump in places, just like lag except offline.

[Tibernius]

To be honest I don't think the track is up to the usual SROU standards. I get some lag offline and I've noticed the error with the grass/gravel/concrete (outside of the first hairpin bend).

I was online practising last night. Two others joined (poodleKeith and poodleAndy?) and we got loads of track miss match messages. Their cars seemed to be in the air all the time not on the track. They said my car also was up in the sky although from my perspective everything was fine. I left multiplayer, deleted my Interlagos folder and re-downloaded and re-installed. But when I went back to multiplayer they had gone so I had no way of testing if the problem was fixed or not.
I will probably be online late tonight for practise.

If these bugs show up during the race I reckon it will end up like the Sugo endurance race a few days ago. This track doesn't seem good enough to be used. Too late to swap it now though.

We know that that was down to a network problem with the server.

[Mark J]

i tried the track briefly last night for a few recon laps and saw no problems at all.

[Simon Gymer]

I have seen no problems with the track in my original testing other than the grainy track surface. IF there are major problems with mismatches etc on the night then I will make a decision at the time about whether to run the race or not.

Please make sure you download the track from the SRou source in case your track is different to that being used on the server.
