The GTO are the most difficult, but are really good in a race. The NSU are slow, but we get some great very close racing with them

I'M BACK after 2 months holiday in Iceland Did yesterday a RRE test, luckily because a lot of updates (nice to see the new PIT interface, more data available if you are now in the pits). Did have some strange hick-ups with my VR headset yesterday (maybe still in holiday modus ), hopefully not today. Yesterday it was really rusty, luckily the P1 cars are easy to drive. Nice there is now a P1 series, just after seeing Le mans this weekend. see ya, this evening

Thanks for the race guys! That was fun. Mistral was a bit slow in straights. The DMD drivers ran away even though I was in their slipstream. I think I need to make some adjustments to the default setup. I'm starting to like Raceroom, but is there any way to get better performance with VR?

Not enjoying these at all, maybe it's just because I have no time to practice and, at the speeds these things travel at, knowing your braking and turn in points is even more important as there is no room for error. Also the view in the Mistral is shocking. I couldn't ever see the sausage kerb in T4, the really tight left, and it was totally random how near the apex I got. Most of the time I was way outside but in the race I cut in too tight and beached the car on it. Game over.

I had reduced the power of the DMD, looks like I need to reduce it some more, or add to it's weight to get a more even lap time. Birgir went past me on a straight like I was in a milk float so I know what you mean. Perhaps we should run it as a spec diesel series Good to see you Henri And welcome back Birgir, I see you haven't got any slower

We discussed the viewpoint earlier. I was ignorant (well perhaps I just am) to it as I use nose view, and can see everything I need. If you run in the cockpit view, which I guess you would in VR then you can move the view around, but as someone said you end up moving it more forward than you might want. Also move the view up can help. I love these things almost as much as the FR90, but these are much more drivable, I thought I'd cracked it with something that everyone would like, perhaps I need to try VR mode when testing I keep having a go a it but it makes me feel funny, and I am even slower with it as I can't sense speed or when to turn as well I mean in anything, not these in particular.

Yeah that T4 was a bit problem even with VR, but most of the time I got it to hit pretty well when I looked at the braking marks. The bigger problem for me was the understeer in slow corners.

which VR system are you running? because there are various methods out there JP

Dont think it was specific to VR people... I only got that corner right once.....Some of us want to run in cockpit....

Just cant seem to unlock this track! always been the same for me here, love the track but slow. I also am using VR which there is a view issue as its mostly guess work to find the apex at turn 4. Geoff was on another level again great win dude! and i had a decent fight with Mark who was a lot faster than me but struggled to get his nose in front right to the end as i squeaked 2nd place. I too also struggled with understeer in the slower corners and the speed through maggots becketts and chapel, maybe i could borrow Geoff's setup to see where i might be going wrong? i really do enjoy raceroom and i would put it as my number one sim with ACC my second sim. I know there has been some discussion about numbers and maybe someone taking over one of the days for setting up of these races, i would like to throw my hat into the ring for this if that's OK? not sure who i should talk to about it?

What I have read so openComposite can get a reasonable performance but for those of us who use steamvr there is no help until they change their engine to dx11 or dx12. Pimax Artisan

Well what can I say, I appear to have got on quite well with the DMD here I think the key to a fast lap was getting through Abbey & the Becketts complex without losing too much speed. Like most of you I was in the mid 1.45s until I found it was quicker through those corners by taking them in a higher gear. At Abbey I was changing back down to 5th initially, but taking it in 6th was faster & if I got it right I could take it without a lift. Similarly at Becketts it was faster to take the first right in 6th rather than changing down, then take the next two turns in 5th & 4th respectively. Those two sections gained around 0.7s I agree about T4, almost impossible to see the apex & get it spot on correct, it was a case of estimating where to brake & turn & hope for the best. I got it seriously wrong twice in the race, on lap 1 I ran far too deep into it & nearly let John past & later in the race I bounced over the inside kerb. Congrats to John & Mark on the podium , welcome back Birger, & I hope Henri enjoyed his first race with us & will be back. The current layout of Silverstone is a great drive with a variety of corners but they have turned it into the worst spectator experience in the country, truly terrible. My setup if anyone wants to try it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IqDK8-FWVYQdhnE6T7aV5lEIOT_-Bzqs/view?usp=sharing
