Title: UKAC Season 17 - Goria-Thun - Sep 22 Post by: FullMetalGasket on September 18, 2021, 03:48:03 PM +0100 (https://i.postimg.cc/1XFnw3dw/Screenshot-ks-porsche-cayman-gt4-clubsport-00-goria-thun-18-8-121-14-54-4.jpg)
Onto the final, final fun event before next season (as people asked for an extra week). In what I think might be a 1st at Srou we are taking the Cayman GT4 Clubsports' for a sound thrashing around Goria-thun. This is a fantasy track, but is easily believable as real due to the attention to detail - it's also a fantastic layout that I can honestly say I wish was real!

cya tomorrow! Title: Re: UKAC Season 17 - Goria-Thun - Sep 22 Post by: KDiesel on September 22, 2021, 05:23:06 PM +0100 All simracing.org servers seems to be down...again.
Edit: I just tried this combo and it was quite boring, track itself may be okeish with some other car than this... Title: Re: UKAC Season 17 - Goria-Thun - Sep 22 Post by: FullMetalGasket on September 22, 2021, 09:42:11 PM +0100 Great combo - If you think the car doesn't suit the track then you haven't learnt it yet - Pushing the Cayman to it's limit here is vastly rewarding!
I accidentally started the first race from the pits but managed to fight back and win it - decided for fun to try it again the 2nd race but Max had made some car improvements and got his eye in a bit better so had to settle with finishing some 4 seconds down. Great race - with a decent grid it would have been amazing. Thanks to those who turned up :) Title: Re: UKAC Season 17 - Goria-Thun - Sep 22 Post by: MaxVeloce on September 22, 2021, 09:50:15 PM +0100 lets be honest though, you'd have whooped me if we'd started side by side :D
I will try and find some time to practice and get back into it more for the Lambo cup ;) Title: Re: UKAC Season 17 - Goria-Thun - Sep 22 Post by: FullMetalGasket on September 22, 2021, 09:58:49 PM +0100 Once you're back up to speed I'll need to start beside you :P

As for the races, I forgot where I was on lap one, race one and went off track and had to chase back. I didn't realise traction control was on by default with the Cayman so switched it off for race two but was then caught out by that at the hairpin and spun around ::) I think the Lambo is going to be a tough drive here, for me anyway. Title: Re: UKAC Season 17 - Goria-Thun - Sep 22 Post by: spanner on September 23, 2021, 12:53:14 PM +0100 Seeing the track layout above did kinda put me off. I hadn't driven the car ever so was still a bit open to things.
I think i only really got comfortable there in the last half of the second race, took a while mainly because of the car, didn't like it at all. For a track with so many corners, a car that understeered so much felt like it was a bit of a battle... I will be looking forward to the Lambo around here! |
