Round 1 of the Lamboghini Huracan Super Tropheo!

A long-standing unwritten law states that all series containing Italian cars must start and end in Italy ;)
So to get the series off to a good start we're heading for Mugello - there are no mandatory pitstops so your strategy is entirely up to you.
Tire warmers will be enabled so that we don't have to go through the pain of a warm-up lap and rolling start.

You know more people would probably join in and race if it wasn't like a graveyard in here  ;)

12 people have been on the practice server and I know you're all a friendly bunch, so it makes no sense to me that no one posts any message here...



cya all tonight anyway  :)

I don't know the meaning of practice  ::) therefore can someone tell me whether any of the compounds of tyres are able to do the full race duration please (and I know what you lot are like, please don't just say yes ;))

The hard tyres should last race distance but the Lambo does like to heat the rear tyres if you start sliding it around so TC will probably help that. Not sure about mediums  :-\ I found them too easy to overheat practicing for the trial race a few weeks ago but that was on a twisty track and in the end I didn't race so didn't get to test them properly.

Cars are pretty challenging to drive especially for the first few laps until the tyres get up to pressure/temp (for me anyway) but should provide some decent racing as long as no-one gets too excited at T1.

Not sure why there are a lack of posts on this thread, maybe everyone is a bit shy  :)

Remember we have tire warmers (Providing I've ticked the correct button!) so you won't have too much sliding around in the opening laps.
Or rather if you do then it's entirely your own fault ;D

I'll be honest I haven't practised enough to answer on tire compounds - I think mediums will make race distance but are likely to be pretty meh at the latter part of the race. So it's a bit of a strategy choice, if you think you can make sufficient gains early on a faster tire then risk it - but you'll be working harder than someone on hards by the end of 40 minutes.

With that said I think there are some circuits in this series where Mediums may actually be a solid option.

I'd pick hards today,  medium get quite hot in the fast turns - and a couple of loose moments and they overheat and off you go

Thanks for the help :)

Hi guys. My recovery is going steady but slowly. I still don't have much strenght in my leg. I can barely operate my car, so racing for 40 min is too much atm.
I will try some praccy the next days and hope tot attend next weeks race.
Happy racing all.

This'll teach me a lesson - I copied the last event here and as a result have only just noticed that we're starting later then usual as a result  :-[

I'll stick to the thread timings tonight but will have to make sure that next week is our normal times.

*edit*
I've just started the race server but with an extra long practice to try and save on confusion.....

Rushed through making my dinner for tommorrow only to remember your timinings for tonight are a bit late...an hour early lol

Well no excuse not to practise...

Anyone want my setup to try?  (not you Tim  :P)

It's a little loose coming off the brakes so not perfect,  but maybe it'll help someone find their way with this car for future races :)

I do :)

This was my race setup last night   http://maxveloce.com/stuff/srou/MV_Lambo_ST_Mugello_v2.zip



Fun race that, 40 minutes of having a flying gasket on my rear bumper and numerous passing attempts  :o

Sorry about the contact out of T1 Tim, it all got a bit out of shape and I couldn't really not use that bit of track, but it seemed right to let you catch back up and resume the fight  ;D



I'm definitely going to have a bit more practice,  some laps I was just missing my marks and I put that down to rustiness...
