Password: see above (#post_event_password)


Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules.
(3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: The start lights are a long way ahead of the start line. Drivers may wish to activate their in-game countdown.

Sorry Tony I'm going to have to withdraw from this for the time being  :( Three days of trying to sort out GTL with various problems caused by the options/controls issues I've been having. Every time I've managed a workaround solution for one problem something else comes up and I've got to the point where I don't want to spend any more time on it. Thanks for trying to help.

Now you know why I don't get on with Porkas Erling, horrible things. I think the Zeltweg circuit was a bit of a fluke, the setup I used there is totally undriveable here, what worked well on the fast corners is awful for the slow corners of Oschersleben. I have massively increased rear toe-in & coast diff which has made quite a difference but I am struggling now getting off the turns as too little throttle & the car understeers  & too much causes snap oversteer. Maybe a Porka expert could give us a few tips?

LOL, very sane advice!  ;D

Tony most graciously sent me his setup.  It defiinitely has the wayward rear end more under control, but suffers from more understeer than my own, with which I tried very hard to combat it in our test race at Zeltweg.  Couldn't quite match my earlier pb (from one of the rare laps where I didn't spin).

With some inspiration from Tony's setup, and your remark about coast diff, Geoff (had left it at 10% from Zeltweg), I've managed to make my own setup a little more driveable - and shaved off a little of my pb in the process too.  Still in no way, shape or form has it made the car idiot proof though, so no doubt bound to go badly in the race..  ::)

If the real life old 911s really handle like this, I don't regret putting my money on a 928 instead  :)

Just did a few laps in the 911 at Oschersleben and saw most of the track backwards. Looking forward (lol) to this event. I bet kurt and I are the only guys who can pronounce the track s name. Will listen with great interest to Dimitar’s running commentary.
I think many of us are going to do a lot of practice this week.

Just spotted that the only other time a Porsche 911 RSR 3.0 raced here in UKGTL, a fastest time of 1:41.191 was achieved.

My own PB is 1:42.2

Sorry, Dan, but you've touched on a pet peeve of mine. I'm over 50 and Belgian-Flemish, which, with the Netherlands to the north, the UK just over that little ditch, Brussels, Wallonia and France a stonethrow away and Germany half a day driving to the east (not to mention the occasional visit from them *cough*), it was very common to speak at least these four languages in Flanders. I've been in business meetings where they were spoken simultaneously. Granted, our youth is -in my very humble opinion of course- catastrophic in that regard but the old(er) guard was all about school books and (often too) strict (because Catholic) teachers too.

Admittedly I'm way better in writing foreign languages than I am in speaking them. My last girlfriend was French of Hungarian descent but living in Germany (how's that for European unification  ;D) and I spent a lot of time in Berlin back then. Die Berliner often hadn't a clue what I was talking about even if what I said was grammatically entirely correct. Come to think of it, that even happened in the UK, viz. Somerset, lol.

Anyway: huge  :offtopic:

At least another hope for reducing the difference to the end of the pack.

Hello everybody,

I did a few laps in Oschersleben this afternoon and reached 1.36.4.
I put my set online (911paddler).
However, it takes a long time for the route to be uploaded to me. I had the problem on Wednesday
Not yet Solitude64.

Hot pace at the front with Olo, gap see-sawed around the 1 second mark for the best part of 20 laps, but just as decided there was zero chance of overtaking without him making a mistake, I span it myself....

Chased too hard and threw it into the wall, so Manfred went through for second, and then the lack of front splitter made staying on track at pace difficult, resulting in another off piste moment which killed the car. That's racing, and a mix of frustration at not finishing and enjoyment of the intensity and speed of the battle was what I was left with.....

Grats to all that finished, was not easy on this track at all. First time for me, won't make it onto a favourites list for sure  :)

Well i don't think the track is not good enough. Maybe the car was not the right choice for this circuit. The circuit it self is very technical and challenging.

I knew i am going to be slow here, as everything i tried with the setup just made the things worse.

The qualifying was bad for me, as i didn't made good enough lap so i had to start from P7.

At the start i decided to brake a little bit early, to give some comfort to the faster guys but unfortunately Coyote didn't knew my plan and went into me, so the car went the other way and i was in P12 after that. Unfortunately Eif didn't sow me and went into my car with high speed. Coyote waited for me so i say Thanks to him for that, even though for me this was just a racing incident.

Little by little i went up in the standings after some mistakes from the drivers in front of me. After a while i was in P6 and managed to stay with Dan's pace, but he was 9 seconds in front of me, so no change catching him. After a little mistake Coyote was now behind me, and we have started great chase for maybe 15 laps.

After a while Dan made a mistake on the last corner and i overtake him as we started a battle. He was clearly faster than me, but i didn't make any mistake. But at one of the chicanes he made an attack. I opened the door for him but after watching the replay i think he just went with too much pace there and there was no chance to avoid collision.  :fencing:  ;D

After the hit i totally stop the car because i was on the grass and i was risking third cut track warning which was going to give me Stop/Go penalty. This gave a chance for Coyote to get in front of me, and till the end he didn't make any mistakes and was clearly faster than me, so great and deserved podium for him. As for me - i somehow took the fourth position, as many of the faster drivers DNF'd at the end.

Congrats to Santiago for the great win, to Manfred and Coyote for the podium and to Daz for the great Fastest Lap of the Race.  8)

Awkward track with the 1st corner, then the fast sweepers, then the nasty chicane with the small mountains to climb  ::)
In R3E I have started using the Bike variant, which has a more sensible turn 1

Not one of my better races, although it wasn't too bad up to half distance.

Expected it to be a fairly lonely race after qually, as I seemed to be in a bit of no-mans land between the top 3 & the rest. However it turned out a bit different when Manfred spun at the end of the opening lap & donated 3rd place to me. Olo & Daz soon disappeared into the distance & after a few laps Manfred, having recovered from his spin, reeled me in. Managed to hold on to my 3rd place for many laps until I ran wide out of T3 & Manfred went past. My race then fell apart, a couple of off track excursions & subsequent damage made the car difficult to drive & like Daz, I struggled to keep it on track & after a couple more barrier crunching moments the car was wrecked & I was out.  ::)

Congrats to Olo, Manfred & Erling.  :clap: :clap: :clap:

Screwed that one up pretty good..

Used the setup kindly provided by Manfred, as it was much better than my own.  With my concoction, certain curbs had to be avoided like the plague, as running over them invariably resulted in a spin. With Manfred's, I could attack them with abandon.  Didn't revolutionize my laptimes though - knocked off half a sec, getting a high 38 as my best.  Surprisingly, adding race fuel knocked off another half sec - probably a balance issue.

3 minutes before qual, I tried joining the server, only to find it running Road America.  Couldn't join, with a 'Track not installed'.  Was certain I had installed the tracks, and had practiced on Oschersleben, with laptimes that seemed on par with what I could expect, so quite puzzled.  Had to try downloading the track pack, which took a full 5 minutes.  Then install and check if the GP layout matched the one I had been practicing on.  It did, with just some details dffering around the pit exit.  Joined the server at the end of qual, with time for just one hotlap, which placed me midfield.

Got a good start, getting ahead of Dimitar, but he countered, getting back in front approaching T1.  Got caught out by his braking, hitting his right rear, which unfortunately spun him round. Kurt couldn't avoid him, as he came to rest in the middle of the track, so the two collided.  Very sorry about that guys.  Waited for Dimitar and so was last, but Kurt waited too, which was absolutely not called for, as he did nothing wrong.

Made up places by others going off.  Andy let me past I think, so thanks if that was the case.  After a couple of offs by Dimitar, I caught up to him.  The start of a long chase.  I was adamant I wouldn't hit him a 2nd time, so had to be careful.  We were evenly matched, so no real chance for making a move.  We came upon a recovering Dan, with Dimitar getting past him. Regrettably the two tangled the following lap, allowing me to slip past both.  With that I was in 4th, which is where I thought I finished, until Tony posted the results.

Grats to Olo on his win & Manfred in 2nd.  That I got 3rd, with laughable pace and all the stuff going wrong, was wholly undeserved though.  Commiserations to Daz, Geoffers and everyone else with misfortune.

Yes Erling, I let you and Dimitar go as you weren't going to be part of my race.

Clive's jump start and then backing off helpfully left me with an uncluttered run into L1 T1. I kept the gap back to Dominick at around 5 seconds for about 10 laps until he ran into trouble. Then Fulvio had a clear run at me. He was 18 seconds behind with 18 laps to go and was gaining at about 1 second per lap.
I had a desperate time trying to watch the track more than watch the gap on XD, staying safe and trying to go as fast as I dared. Luckily, we had been lapped, as he caught me at the last corner of lap29. Perhaps he was a little too keen to get the power down early out of the last corner to take my slipstream to the line as he spun and denied us a photo finish. A very enjoyable race, Fulvio, one of many like that we have had over the last 15 years.

Grats to the podium and anyone who can lap this track at 1.35.

Like Andy has already said "grats to anyone who can lap this track at 1:35"

That pace is just beyond my comprehension and definitely outside of my ability!! I think I fluked a fastest lap or around 1:41?? so where you guys are gaining 6 seconds is a total mystery?  ??? I did try Manfred's online setup, but frankly I found it harder to drive than the bizarre setup that I had concocted and about 2 secs per lap slower in my hands? The only conclusion must be that it is ME who is the problem here and not the car, although I still believe the car is evil!!!

After I jumped the start and got a SnG on the first lap, things did not look promising. Hitting the pit wall at the pit entry for the SnG did nothing to improve my chances and further reduced my hope levels. Even that hope was soon dashed as I made more errors and eventually damaged the car so much that it was even more of a menace to other drivers than it had been sitting on the grid!!
So, after being lapped by the leaders, I decided that it was safer for all if I went for a beer ......... or two :-\

I'm with Clive on this one except that I love the car. In fact, the RSR is the car in which I managed to overtake His Dazness for the first time in my sim career (yes, I still remember that). Though that was probably in P&G come to think off it. Anyway, while at the ÖsterreichRing the car was a joy, nothing whatsoever worked here -many thanks for all the suggested and offered setups though. I spent qually watching all them aliens trying to figure out where the huge difference came from but I didn't see or hear anything that allowed for an Aha-erlebnis. In race, after the first spin the car was pretty much useless and the downhill slide became so bad I just gave up eventually. On nights like this I need full restraint not to throw the whole shebang through the window and never look back. I don't mind that I'll never be an alien but down 6 seconds a lap in a car I like and having no clue why is just aaarrarararrgghhhhh.

Congrats to all who managed to conquer this rotter of a track (gotta blame something!).

Race replay with commentary and camera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dNb1ZP1H3w
Thx Dimitar for the video, I always enjoy watching replay to see my mistakes, but with your live commentary, expecially when you crash  :laugh:, is Always entertaining. From your camera it's like you're driving a Transit though  ;D
Ciao

You've overtaken me far too many times for me to remember them all Dom......usually when I'm off in a gravel trap after pushing too hard  ;) ;D

If it is any consolation at all, the idea of 35s when I first lapped here offline would have been unthinkable. I am a massive fan of the 911, and used to be half decent in it, so had setups stored from years ago that got me into the 38s in practise, which I thought might be reasonable pace. Then I joined the server and saw 36s on the board which made me blink. My fast lap in the race was essentially the limit for me I think, it was trying to throw itself off the road at just about every corner entry and exit at that pace, so was very hard work, more so than I remember the 911 being but I believe that to be the nature of the track. The ABB guys were finding a quick line through the chicane, which I struggled to find, and seemed to be quick off the final corner as well, but I was quicker through some of the other areas including turn 1, so it was nip and tuck really. Just a shame I threw it off, but that's really not unusual for me at all  ::) :D
