Funny you say that Bob, I tried the Modena yesterday and in offline practice was over a second slower than I managed to get the RS round in the race last season.  I just assumed I sucked yesterday.......now I can feel free to blame the car!

i seem to be firmly stuck in the mid 53's this time around (race pace)  :( though i know it takes plenty of laps to get back in the groove here.
I just hope my fps allows me to have a good race, seemed okay online last night with SBG and Pseudo present, but who knows ?...

I tried to uninstall Sp3 last night but MS couldnt find its own files and cancelled the uninstall each time  ::)

Carl Hart was trying to join the game but got booted as a possible cheat. I got that too after GTR crashed and I re-entered. Switching to a default car I could joijn without problems, so if you're reading this, try that.

oh man i cant believe my bad luck with sim racing over last few weeks  >:(

Enjoying a cracking race with what looked like a race long battle with Ginsters and Dave on the cards whilst running 5th and it lasts about 4 laps and i get a bloody Disco  :'(
Car felt good in the tricky conditions.

Had spent half hour before the race tonight trying different drivers and everything was running smooth in the race. Now i am in the awkward position of not knowing if the new drivers caused it or it was just a random Disco. Pants.

Hope you all had a good race, im going off to cry in a dark corner.  :( :hang:

Yeah, start afresh MJ.

Sorry you had to pit for (I assume) damage Peter, I was trying to pull off the racing line but I still had my hand on the clutch button to keep the engine running so I didn't move.

Usual complete rubbish from me, seems the quicker I get at GTL the slower I am in GTR.  No idea how you guys drive these things so fast.  Usually wet suits me as the cars slide more like historic cars, but my 360 setup was pretty hopeless.

Slowly losing patience.....and I so want to like driving these things.   :P

Ha ha Steve I saw you spin and no matter which way turned my wheel I always kept heading straight for you. I was contemplating going in and getting new tyres anyway and that made my mind up :)

Still couldn't beat fastest lap though. Probably cos I ended the race with 27l of fuel still. That's what happens when every thing crashes during qually and you're in a panic to check the car at least steers properly before the race.

When MJ (good luck getting that sorted mate :)) left I had nothing to do and all the understeer in the world to keep me company. Excruciating pain driving the 360 around there for me, must be a setup thing as I really enjoy the track in GT1. It doesn't get any worse than understeering past every apex.

Congrats to Pseudo :)

Still its goodbye to the BRD wheel and hello to the G25 and the world of FF (hope it isn't scarey) tomorrow :)

Weird, weird, weird.

A good qually session well inside the top 10. I loaded up my race setup and clicked the race button with 58 seconds to go to race start. The timer icon appeared and the game froze. I listened on teamspeak whilst my Shark team mates started the warm up lap. After a seemingly endless wait the game released me onto the track and I was able to drive round and catch the back of the pack for the start.
All my screen information was scrambled and I was shown in last place despite overtaking some people. The countdown clock ticked out with more than ten minutes race time left. I definitely raced the whole distance and finished a couple of seconds behind Gizmo.

Apologies to anyone confused by the seeming last place man chasing the mid-field harder than might normally be expected.

Congrats to the (reluctant) championship winner and commiserations to TT. Well done to the Shark crew for another stunning team title. Thanks to all I raced throughout the season for making it so fun. Really sad that my self-imposed ban will keep me from racing on Sunday - not tried that track since Indy Racing days.  :(

As Picnic says, Dave please review the race tape to see if I can claim a finish.  :)

If that is the case, then I owe you an appology. I've been sitting here the last few minutes cursing you too high hell for blocking me and stopping me getting at Dave.

I also wouldn't have been as agressive with you through the corners.  :oops:

Fun and frustrating at the same time. Zero practice, took my Brno setup, slapped softs on it and it went okay in qually, so after dithering a bit over races tyres I stuck with them and things were going okay, but there was a lot of pressure from the cars behind, and I made the mistake of carrying a fraction too much brake into a corner (a mortal sin in the 360), whereupon the thing started to swap ends, and all I could manage to do was convert it from a spin into a tank slapper. Lost about 30 seconds dragging it back across the gravel and was way down the field.

After that set off after field and between retirements, offs and the odd proper pass I somehow clawed myself all the way back up 5th, passing Prof's forgotten boat and DMN's 360 in the final couple of laps. I think I must've had much better tyre temperatures than most, which meant they weren't scrubbing as much and therefore lasted really well.

Pity about the stupid spin, without it I'd have been challenging Evert for 4th at the end, but I got him in the championship anyway. :D

No need to apologise, it was a totally weird set of circumstances as I describe above. In my mind I was racing hard for the place against you and Dave. You had no way of knowing this but Dave knew what was happening over Teamspeak, thinking now you must have wandered what was going on to say the least. I was told I was showing up normally and I got absolutely NO blue flags at all.

Everyone will tell you I am first to make way when shown a blue flag, I've had enough practice. It even cost me a place in GT2 on Sunday as I gave a GT1 driver loads of room and ran out of track.

As stated above huge apologies for any confision I inadvertently caused.

The confusion at the end aside thats the most fun I've had in a race in a long while.

Since my last races here at Spa, where I had two terrible races, I've been away working on my consistency and that work showed tonight. Only one minor error near the start. Very happy with that fact.  :)

I got the tyres are warn message with 10 minutes to go, which ment I had no answer to Dave and Profs pace. Tonight was my first race with Pirellis, so I had no idea what to expect. I was running soft fronts.

Usual last minute dive into the server, this time in time for all of qually. Looked for a setup for a similar-ish track and grabbed my Barcelona one. With the damp conditions I tried soft slicks but they felt awful first out, so almost immediately came in for inters and they were bad too, then went to hard wets and they felt good but no time for setting another time. 5.6 seconds behind in qualifying and all my team mates were putting on slicks for the race so I decided "what the heck, can't be any worse".

First flying lap in the race and I was into the 1:54s already, shaving 5 of those seconds off in one lap with soft slicks! Cool I thought, competive after all. Had a long battle with Evert and despite his best efforts I eventually forced my way past. I could then see SBG coming back towards me so I tried my hardest to catch, but I was one lap short of passing him (despite 34 tyre wear and the pit crew screaming at me) and I finished right on his tail on the last lap.

Horrible conditions, damp is just nasty.

Well done to Pseudo on the title and to Team Shark for the team title and to everyone that took part.

I didn't have a clue what I was doing out there in my debut GTR2 race. I ran wets in practice because I thought it said it was raining but I believe it was just damp! Put soft slicks on for the race, which where much better. Setup was just a lightly tweaked default for BB and steering ratio and to be honest I was pleasantly surprised to be able to run a half decent pace. I was just content to circulate with anyone who was near me, although I did get in to more of a fight with one car that eventually spun. My pitstop dropped me right back though. I haven't a clue what fuel I requested but I was in there for about half an hour!! I quit out not long after that but I didn't actually realise how near the end I was.  ;D

I'm still catfished...  :(  Like MJ said, treat it like a car failure in real life. But I'd get to kick the car in the real life, while I don't dare do it to my PC...  :P  Darn, what a  :hang: night.

Thanks TT, everyone.

Not celebrating it much due to the circumstances, but it feels good to (as FreQ says) have been in a position to be able to do it.

I have put all my efforts into the Modena this season...any spare praccy time has been dedicated to it and it has paid off. Since joining here, I have swapped and changed cars, never really tried to get to grips with any one in particular and got nowhere...so the change of tack worked somewhat.

I'll try the same in a different class next season...see if it works again.

Great championship fight this has been...grats to all for it.

Bob between bad luck and unfortunate events you seem to have ended too many events early but obviously not in this series.         Lets not forget there is always next season. I will put money that next season we have more members than ever and competition is tougher than ever and we will all be back to settle scores.

Out of interest, how much wing did you guys have? I experimented from 4 to 8 and finaly settled for 7. 4 was a bit quicker, but it was very unstable and tyres were worn quickly. I had 2/7 wing, 80/15 ARBs, 230/250 springs.  :)  Car was flowing beautifuly, might I say even better on damp than on dry, had no problems sliding it to the wanted point on track, changing direction, .... Oh, no. Ooooh, no! I'm getting pissed again.  ;D

LOL, whatever my pitcrew gave me. I think it was 2/7, but can't say I paid any attention to the setup on anything but tyres. It was basically Barcelona setup with soft slicks and less brake pressure for the damp conditions. Meant I could brake full pedal into T1 from just before the 100 board, which was about 50 meters later than Everts 911 :D, but then the Morgan is always good on the brakes, just complete rubbish in the slow corners and god like in the fast corner.

Congratulations on your GTC Title Pseudo, great work all season.  8)

Big commiserations to TT, who other than an annoying Disco would have brought the crown home to Legends Racing. Top driving all season none-the-less.   :notworthy:

Another great season comes to an end, enjoyed it thoroughly, other than my own morale sapping technical problems. :( The racing was fantastic and close at every event. :thumbup2:

Thanks again to all you hard working top gents behind the scenes that make it all happen  :thumbup1:

Lets hope next season is just as competitive and we enjoy more great racing with a great field of drivers.
GT racing is still where its at  8)

Good result for me, with my new Team in GTC.

Congratulations on your GTC Title Pseudo. (Rotten luck TT)

Thank you to the organisers, behind the scenes.

I was using 2/5; I rarely use a lot of rear wing on the Modena because it just seems to add understeer and does nothing to help with the 360's Achilles Heel, it's tendency to lock the rears under braking if there's any side load on the car at all.


Title: Re: UKGTR Season 8 Lower Sprint (GTC) - Mugello (GP) - Oct 21
Post by: Mark J on October 22, 2008, 09:57:39 AM +0100
i had 2/8 so may have suffered if the track was dryer but the higer rear wing stops the oversteery nature of the porker from wearing out the rear tyres too quickly from scrub.

Car felt great in the damp and was hoping to pressure Ginsters all race for that 4th place. Alas the internet gods kicked me in the goolies  :P  (ironically i ran GTR2 for over an hour later last night and didnt have a single CTD or disco  ::) )

Got a CTD in qually. Decided against re-entering as I can find no fun in wet racing, and usually end up in a wall or hitting people. Better to notrisk  messing up someones championship fight.

Your setup was very good in the dry Psuedo, thanks. It's a keeper.

Oh, a nsfw tag had been nice TT  ;)
Then again, I guess I should be working and not surfing forums in the first place.

Toooo late TT...already seen it  :-X :laugh:

Cheers everyone.

I was using 2/5 wing for exactly the same reasons as Dave. Soft fronts and rears due to the 'damp' and low temps which ended up with about 24 wear on left side 22 on right. 90% brake pressure too.
for damp/wet conditions I usually turn down the 'accelerator pressure' too in the controller config, but forgot last night and had 2 semi-spins due to getting the right foot down too heavy.

It is a good setup I have for the 360...works well everywhere...Dan Minton 'borrowed' it too for testing at Nurb the other day....knocked 8 /10ths off his best time first lap. It does require smoothness so I reckon a proper smooth driver like SG would find it good, but it doesnt like any jerky movement with the controlls...off track everytime.  :)

Good gawd, dont share a great Fezza setup out to everyone or it will be like the real FIA GT race at Nogaro...one RSR versus a 9 car F430 red train ! :o ...anyone see that race?

I'd like to point out that the RSR 'Led' the ferrari train by a good 5 seconds after just a few laps  8)...shame i cant repeat that feat  ::)

Im glad a few more are taking the F360 lately, means i get to recreate all those great Porsche v Ferrari battles on track  :fencing:

Prof has now been restored to his rightful position based on the replay. I must say I've never seen that before - such a long delay in a car joining the grid that GTR2 totally loses track of it - usually a delay like that always leads to a disco.
