Title: UKGPL Season 19 (2010) Spec Challenge - Porto - May 16
Post by: Billy Nobrakes on May 11, 2010, 10:47:06 PM +0100
Season 19 Spec Race Challenge - Round 4 - Porto

Round 4 of the Spec Race Challenge takes us to City of Porto, or as it was in 1958. This may be a new track for UKGPL but should be offer opportunities for drafting with 2 long high speed straights.

After three rounds, Hristo dominates the Lights with 6 wins from 6 and Steve Bird leads the way in the Heavies. Tim Muttram & Phil Thornton still push for second place. Other podiums at Silverstone for Evil, Al Hellar & Maddog.

We will run two races on the same track. Two chassis are available, you must use one in each race. Use the same car twice earns you a disqualification in the second race.
Your choice of chariot for this occasion is the 1965 Mod ~ Lotus versus the Ferrari.
 
The Spec Series is a full championship with standard points scoring. In addition the moderator will also tally up every drivers fastest race lap & compare the chassis head to head. For your time to count in the “Spec Challenge” you must complete more than 50% distance in both races. Resets are allowed so don’t retire because of a bad start.
Also the Spec Series in the only GPL championship to be decided exclusively by driver skill, no handicapping applies.

Unlimited Shift-R is allowed in the race. No-fault Shift-Rs will not attract a Stop & Go penalty.  All other Shift-Rs must be followed by a Stop & Go.

Please be in IGOR UKGPL chatroom by 8:50 pm UK Time = GMT).

Due to the number of races moderating will be light touch - reported incidents only, however the moderators reserve the right to review any incident with a particular emphasis on lap one. The aim is to review the race the following weekend so incident reports should be submitted within five days of the race (i.e. the following Friday). We're hopeful most incidents can be resolved amicably. A sorry in the forum won't be taken as an automatic admission of guilt by the moderators.

The Championship is split into two sub-divisions, the Light Brigade & the Heavy Brigade. The driver allocation is set out below.

LIGHT BRIGADE drivers
Burtoner
Evil Clive   
John Roberts   
Tim FMG   
Hristo       
Jethro   
Nicky Ickx   
Bartosz (Pod)

Probably one of my messiest races. Had at least 5 collisions with other cars and 5 resets ~ & that’s without looking at the replay.  Had one tangle with Norm as he was rejoining from a SnG (think that was a 50/50) & I rear ended a Lotus in race 1, lap 1 going into the 2nd hairpin turn. Apologies for that, I was on the brakes extra early but didn’t allow quite enough.  One big feature of this track is the heavy braking at the end of long straights so the difference in drivers brake points contributing to several crashes &/or visits to the hay bales.
Also learnt a new trick – the ancient Portguese art of sticking two wheels on the hay bales. Ignoring  my woeful performance I did enjoy driving this track.

If anyone feels particularly aggrieved please submit a report in the usual way. Only reported incidents will be moderated.

Finally,  congratulations to the guys clocking 2.20 lap times – very impressive. Also, with Hristo taking the night & Steve Bird settling for 2nd place we have some new winners in both divisions.

Thought this a fantastic track with potential for some good close racing but found I was miles off the pac

On the best part of the track , the fast sweeping turns , I was being left for dead  :-\  My best effort at a decent set up was useless there , thanks to Phil and Evil for offer of help in race 2 but for some reason the setups you uploaded to me wouldnt run so reverted to the default fezzer set up at the last minute .

Didn't stop me enjoying the track and some close racing for a while at least  :)

 Grats to Thom ( King Hiro) in race 1 and to Clutch for being consistant and taking his chance in race 2 whilst I destroyed Tim's chance of a win ( sorry mate).

I enjoyed this circuit and seemed to have sussed the "fast" line around it, clocking a 2:20 lap in both chassis during qually and on race fuel.
I was determined ( perhaps in hindsight a little too determined!! :-\ ) to break the  the 2:20 barrier through the race as the fuel levels dropped, but instead I messed up both outings.

No complaints as I thoroughly enjoyed the races.
Firstly with Thom ( King Hiro) in race 1 where I built a comfortable cushion after about 4 laps and was thinking about going for the sub 2:20 lap in the Fezza when I had a dose of lag /screen stutter just as I entered the final corner ( you know the one with all the lamp posts and straw bales!!). As a result, I suddenly found myself giving one of those bales much closer examination than I had intended which lost me my lead and definitely deranged something in the steering/suspension department. Thom obviously scented the chance of a victory and was putting on some pressure but I though I could just about hold him behind despite the damage...until we came upon a back marker at the beginning of the long slalom section. The unfortunate guy put a wheel on the outer kerb and barreled across the circuit exactly where I thought I was going to sweep past  :o. After that the steering was screwed and Thom easily pulled away for the win.

2nd race was looking better in the faster Lotus, until I made a mess of a corner and clouted the suspension ( again)!! Also, remind me never to give Tim a fast setup again that he can use against me!!!
Although we were lapping in the 2:22's and I knew I could do easy 2:20's with a clear track, I just could not get far enough away from the irritating sod to settle into a fast rythmn. The slipstream along that straight meant that a lead of 2 secs or more evaporated every time I tried to get away.  :-\
Then I rear ended Tim in the slalom section, where I was quicker and Clutch took his chance to slip through to an eventual victory. After letting Tim regain his place in front of me and renewing our chase I buggered up a bend and played pinball between the walls until I collected Thom.. and then I gave up and quit!! rather than reset again.
I will have to study the replays to learn Tim's secret shortcut through the lamp posts and bales on that final corner!! just when I thought he had lost it and crashed, he re-appeared along the outside of the track travelling at warp factor 8!!!! and threatening a pass into T1...like I said   "very irritating" :o lol

Bernie's comment about not being able to see the setup is interesting, because I actually have experience a similar prob on my own computer.

I create a setup off-line ( and save it in the normal GPL manner) and then start GEM and join an on-line race through IGOR. Only to find that the setup is just not there!!

However, if I join IGOR directly without going through GEM, the setups appear and are usuable??? Which would appear to be the same prob that Bernie experienced.....anyone got any ideas???
 GPL is saving the setups to the same folder because I can navigate to the setups folder and see them? and that is surely where GPL/IGOR looks for the setups???

Evil,
Re. lost set ups. I think Graham had similar problems at Goodwood – maybe he can answer.
I have a similar issue but I think it crops up where I am starting the server. When you access the race through GEM it defaults to my 67 driver profile, hence it won’t pick up the 65 set ups. Failing that, there’s always the good old fashioned solution – scribble down your set up on a piece of paper.

Learnt the track on Sunday Morning and got an Ok set up for both cars.

The track is a real grower once you get the hang of it, but those hay bails will bite anyone pushing too hard.

Race 1 was very poor from me, not only in terms of pace, but race craft. Made a good start, but ran slightly wide in turn 1 and the car got stuck half in, half out of the hay bails. I thought i'd stay put as i wasn't too much of an obstruction, but someone hit me a couple of seconds later, spun, and i cringed as i watched the ensuing pile up. The rest of my race was very poor. The Ferrari is always tail happy and unpredictable on the brakes. I nudged billy into a spin at one point as i backed out of a move, but waited to let him back past. Just poor all round really.

Race 2. Got up into 3rd and kept my eye on Pribluda as i saw Tim and Evil dicing. I could just about hold the gap at 5 to 6 seconds but couldn't close it. Decided to drive with one hand, and cross my fingers with the other. Eventually, their loss was my gain and i manged to sneak through after they had a coming together. The gap thereafter was about 8 seconds, and i knew that if they kept dicing they'd not catch me, though i knew that they both had the raw pace to do so.

A good track that has now entered my GPL All time Top 10.

won race one.very happy.was a bit defensive vs natan before the bends on l1 but hope it wasn t too much.and..thx to that backmarker stopping Evil :)


Race was an exciting start with evil and tim up front and natan and me close behind. the fun ended as I got rearended and ended last.managed to work myself up to 3 rd because of Tim/evil clash ( and other clashes up through the field)
). Most irritating mistake I did on L7 or something when I swithched on prib(usually off) to verify it was tim who had a spin in a 90 degrees bend and now was just in front of me..I managed to go wide and loose 3-4 secs while fiddling to turn it off again. There went my chance to get contact with Tim...well..very happy with 3 rd after all.

Not quite the same , its really weird  :o

In the GPL car setup screen I can "see" the set ups in the drop down menu, both your 65fez1 and Phil's  S19-Sc-R4-race

When I click on either one of these the set up box goes to the gpl "default" set up  :-\

Very strange , looked at "properties " in explorer and the syntax is correct , so would think all should be OK but it aint  ::)

Apologies Billy when you ran into me I was S&G rejoining but was trying to restart in 2nd gear accidentally as I went into panic mode trying to find 1st I rolled almost to a halt in the middle of the track. Take this as an incident report & penalise me as you wish. My fault very sorry.
Like the track but the number of crashes in qually & the races  set a pattern of lots of mistakes. Actually headed Steve I think at one point so got all determined to hold him off but that only lasted 3 corners before it was back to the straw. To cap it all I had a nice few seconds lead on Bernie in race 2 when I went wide on the last bend of the last lap, got all messed up & shot into the opposite wall & let Bernie through. A bad end to one I want to forget.
Good track but unforgiving. Finally well done Clutch considering you learnt it Sunday morning whilst I had been practising for at least a week it must show something.

If anyone feels particularly aggrieved please submit a report in the usual way. Only reported incidents will be moderated.
You don't actually have to be aggrieved to submit an incident report :taz:.  In fact I'd prefer it if everyone did by default, it is fairer that way but I appreciate that it makes more work for the moderators.  All I would ask is that you submit the incident report for the right race and make sure the replay time is in there (format 00h00m00s), that way the moderators can find the incident quickly.  All drivers should be aware of the penalty guidelines (https://www.ukgpl.com/index.php/rules/penalties) the moderators use.  If everyone adhered to the recommended driver behaviour (https://www.ukgpl.com/rec_dvr_beh/rec_driver_beh.htm) there would be far less incidents and we'd all be happier. 

But until then don't feel as if you need to be really annoyed about something before you submit an incident report.  I would rather we sort things out amicably (using the formal impartial moderating process) before things escalate into an argument.  The purpose of the incident reporting is to facilitate learning not to get your own back.

Hi folks!

As the dust and straw bales settled, on race 1 at Porto, I found myself with a podium and a PB!  This aberration has me working on a theory that, if you bounce off the scenery enough times in practice, your car can gain an immunity by race time.  In fact, my best race result to date, wasn't purely accidental - this track simply seems to reward with time. I realised, that while the place appears to be mostly narrow, that's only because of its speed,  There are some highly top secret lines to be discovered, I tell you!  Just don't tell anyone else!  I reckon half the field could sub-2.20, with enough practice, so I racked up the miles at the weekend, and was well rewarded.  Many thanks to some stout service from our servers.  Thanks lads! ;)

While race 1 consisted of a brief stop at turn 1, and fast forward to the finish, race 2 was slightly more ponderous.  Looked promising until the final corner of lap three.  Came across Phil and Al, duking side by side, and honed in on Phil's tailpipes at the apex.  Only the GPL gods decided to reap their revenge!  I had dared defy the laws of Noviceness in race 1 - a slight tap and we were both spat across the track, with myself out of contention.  And I was already shopping for a larger helmet!  Apologies offered Phil - and dread fear of your explosive tailpipes!  A stop & go, and lonely race thereafter.

A tough track for newcomers.  For those at UKGPL who've been on-line longer, but not yet found a maniacal turn of speed - I was racing offline, long before I ever materialized here.  I'll be putting up a few of my past exploits against the Ai in the weeks to come, in case it's of interest.  A new thread soon.

I liked this track though frustratingly never really got to grips with it. Was surprised by the frontrunners pace (almost WR - cut it out you lot!) & realised my only chance of a decent result would be some clean consistent running. Promptly ignored my own advice, spun several times & finally got stuck in the haybale at T1. Reset & SnG put me way back & a final contretemps and major misunderstanding with Tim made it even worse. Took it a bit easier in race 2. Was enjoying a splendid battle with Phil until he unfortunately got bitten on the behind by a crazed canine ;)  Found myself up to 4th & then caught that sodding haybale at T1 again. Reset - SnG - aaargh. Still, was pleased to see Clutch & my teammate Tom (KH) grab the wins - WD :)

Just a little insight on how much of a difference a set up makes.
I spent quite a bit of time testing the Ferrari at Porto because I really struggle with the red machines. Managed to get into the 2.28’s which was about par with my Lotus time. (Not great but not awful). Realised the day after the race that I’d been a bit of a Muppet & forgot to adjust for a left-handed circuit. Out of interest I did a few laps in the Lotus with adjusted cambers & wheel rate - & took over 2 seconds off my PB (low 2.26’s).
A couple of days before I lent Tom (King Hiro) my Fezza set up. I think he tweaked the gears a bit – but set a great qualification time with 2nd on the grid. There are two possible endings to this tale:
1) Some drivers just accommodate & get the best out of set up OR
2) Tom would have been even quicker with a left-hand biased set up

Post by: bernie on May 19, 2010, 02:46:29 PM +0100
Improved my fezza time significantly with some after race tweaking , didnt think "offset" made much diiference at Porto , the BIG improvement was using the correct gear ratios .

I think they are the single most significant factor to 65's lap times , closely followed by tyre pressures .

All the other tweaks , ride hieght arb's etc help but to a lesser degree ( to me anyway)

One thing I did note, to much f/r toe can kill top end speeds on those long straights  ::)

Post by: b_1_rd on May 19, 2010, 07:35:26 PM +0100
the BIG improvement was using the correct gear ratios .

How do you mean, Bernie?  Do you even spread the gears or something different?

I have my own method, using Setup Assistant 65, but I'm always interested in what others do with setups.


Title: Re: UKGPL Season 19 (2010) Spec Challenge - Porto - May 16
Post by: bernie on May 19, 2010, 08:23:20 PM +0100
You need to get from the slowest corner (exit speed)  to fastest part of straight ( Vmax) in shortest time . should be max rpm at end of longest straight . so yes,  spread the gears but look at max power rpm's for each gear and the rpm drop to the next gear , the quickest will drop the revs right on the flat part of the power torque curve. 

I use GRE for that (not tried set up assistant)  but its not the full story ,using taller 1st 2nd gears mean less wheelspin when max acceleration is needed at low speeds then you can have shorter gears at the higher speeds so keeping it "on the cam" more ,

Some longer corners like on Porto's fast sweepers benefit from being geared to suit . you dont want to be shifting during a corner or when going into one as it can upset the handling , There are exceptions like Spa for inst . where a quick downshift mid corner can kick the rear out and counter any understeer which would normally cause you to have to lift off .

But its all a compromise because you need to dial in the diff ratio and ramp angles plus each engine has its own power curve , the fezzer is all top end likewise the BRM whera's the climax is a much flatter curve with a wider spread of power

almost always the way to go is copy some aliens wr gearbox from his set up , then you know its good    :)

Post by: EvilClive on May 20, 2010, 09:15:59 AM +0100
IMHO gearing is very important, just as Bernie has illustrated, and I have discovered that I can shave significant chunks off my PB's if I get it right. ( not that I get it right that often!! )

All I would add to Bernie's wisdom are a couple of factors to consider alongside the ratio issue, because in GPL setups I find altering one parameter invariably affects something else  :-\........ it is all a balancing act.

The mechanical setup of the suspension/rollbars/diff settings etc will limit, or allow, how much power you can physically stuff through the system without disappearing into the scenery in a spectacular cartwheel.

Sometimes, I find it better to raise the ratio by a notch ( or take a gear higher ) for a certain corner so that it naturally limits the power available and prevents wheelspin and loss of grip. I know it probably is not the optimum solution, but it makes the car much more compliant and very much more predictable. At Porto I was dropping to 1st gear for the left hander at the end of the long straight in the early stages of learning the circuit, but discovered that by leaving it in 2nd I could blend through the corner and get on the throttle much earlier.. and actually carry more speed all the way down to the next sharp left.

At some circuits there are corners that are on their own, absolutely critical to getting a good lap time. The Loop at Watkins Glen is a good example for me. Usually I set up 3rd gear to be exactly right just for this corner, because if I can carry good speed and a very stable car through the Loop, I exit onto the following straight with the throttle absolutely nailed and carry that speed all the way to the Big Bend. It might mean that somewhere else on the circuit I am changing 3rd to 4th very quickly, but personally I find that overall I gain maybe a second or more per lap.

Post by: bernie on May 20, 2010, 10:21:31 AM +0100
So much for the theory , the tough bit as always is applying it .

I would add to what clive says that most hotlap setups aren't good for racing for the same reason of getting the power down smoothly and particularly top gear for draughting , also helps engine life in pro race mode .

But were probably telling you to suck them eggs  :)

All good info.  I appreciate a setup is very much developed in-line with the driving style, but information as to how people produce their setup is not talked about enough sometimes.  Hopefully will help someone, somewhere.

Here are the Spec Challenge results from Porto.
Usual rules apply i.e. fastest race lap for each driver who completed more than half distance in both chassis. Table again courtesy of the Statmeiseter.
This one produced a fair spread but overall result was the Lotus bested the Fezza by an average of just under half a second. Graham had a poor run in the Lotus but this was evened out by Billy mistreating the Ferrari.
With Hristo missing there were first wins for Clutch & King Hiro in the Lights. In the Heavies a win for Maddog and Phil keeps up the pressure on Steve. Steve having the record for a podium in every race.

Whats great about our sport, is the way it seems to be a perfect blend of science and art.  With the recent discussion of setups on this thread, I thought I'd switch more to the artful side of things.

When it comes to driving art, I think a well worn, and squeaky steering wheel could well be the best way to go. Allow me to elucidate - mine has become that way, through much vital input at UKGPL.  So much so, that I've now been banned from squeaking on-line beyond bedtime . . .and thus was set the stage . . .

It was with some bravado, that I sneaked into Brands Hatch, when it showed up on UKGPL_6 last night, to sort out initial setups.  My driving style has always been somewhat exuberant, so the challenge I set, was to use as little steering input as possible, and try driving with my feet, knowing that any sudden twitch could mean disqualification, dismissal from the track, and a severe repremand!  Bearing this in mind, I set the cars up accordingly.

After a few sighting laps, and a couple of tweaks, I was dancing on my pedals to the tune of, the under 1.40 for 2 step.  Don't know exactly how that stacks up, but seemed adequate?  Just goes to show - there's more than one way to skin a rabbit.  Allow me to demonstrate: http://senduit.com/f6d782 - off limits to the squeamish.  

Could improve very little later, even though outside of curfew hours. ::)

So, if anyone is interested in my unique,"Hunts - Squeak Tuned Wheel", I dare say I could abscond with any generous offers, if polite.  The evidence suggests, this could well be the perfect training tool to wend ones way to victory, and I'd just have to suffer in silence.  
                                                                                                                       :scooter:

Seems like Porto proved a difficult track to get right as most people's laptime consistency scores were pretty dire. A perfect score would have been 40 but only a handful of drivers even scored above 30:

Top 5 laptime consistency (both races-Light & Heavy combined)

1. Clutch (race 2) - 0.334 average deviation
