UKAC Season 3 Blancpain Round 5 - Estoril - Jun 7

[Mark J]

Yes, I found that its not grounding out on the track, but hitting the bump stops, increase your suspension travel, plus raise the ride height. I'm running near 68/72mm ride height. Yes its high, used for Monza but helps with the large kurbs round here.

I'm running much higher too, around 63-65mm high for the saw tooth kerbs and odd bump. How do you know how to set bump stop heights/suspension travel? Never got my head around that last option in the garage menu

hahahaha ))) All of my problems is clutch axle in pedals.. Pressed noisly by itself ))) Need some maintenance. I hope will done it  to race time

Interesting that nobody has matched the ai times  

Probably because it's a mod track and the AI line is not really realistic.


btw: I noticed also some strange setup behaviour. When I'm driving offline my rear ride height is at 62mm, but when I'm changing to the online server with the same setup (also same weather, temperature and time of day settings) my car is suddenly 8mm lower and I need to adjust my setup Anybody else experienced this?

It's normal. Because the pit positions elevations changes. Known AC pit future .  Online-offline yours pit place is different usualy  
PS. My clutch problem is solved- it was bad electrical contact in internal jack. I am using G27 Hall sensor\ magnetoresistors mode made bymyself. No potenciometers here.

    I'm having problems with the pit crew not able to reach the filler cap for refuelling hope I don't run out.

Mhh, ok. Never noticed that before tho.

I've just had some wierd issues after a windows update - the PC appears to be back up and running for now, but I'm suspicious at the moment.
If I'm suddenly unavailable I'll give what notice I can, although it will probably not be enough if it falls over just before the race

My pit crew are normal sized - all except the guy who stands infront who must be about 2 foot tall

So far I only have 15 confirmed names for tomorrow's race. If you have not done so already please state your intention to race tomorrow as there are only 24 slots.
I think we will have enough based on previous turnouts but Pete can't put all 28 names on the driver entry file.

I realise some do not read these race threads but that's their responsibility to at least check in once and a while.

[Mark J]

Good turn out on the practise server this eve. Gavino gave us mortals a master class in how to be quick in the lambo and porker 

[spanner]

Tried out my setup from misano, a softer setup using mediums as i'm nervous about running softs and finishing, but setup felt too soft and was a sec plus slower than i've done. Guess 'm going to have to be gentle during the race!

[Stefan aka Postal]

Intending to race.

Never driven it before in any other sim, but i really like the Estoril lay-out.
I was a second faster on softs but it looks like they are done have way race distance, so i think i will go with the safe option.

[Mark J]

Okay after hearing back from a couple more drivers we have our 24 car list for tonight's race.

Not racing are Eck, Tim S, Greg D and Thomas B.

[Maikel K.]

Just had my first go here at the cart track in midget land. 

Pretty good track, some tricky corners and it looks pretty good. It even gives midgets a chance at being a pritcrew, go equal rights 

Probably have to go with softs for the race, as Godzilla just don't roll with the mediums in all these corners.

Ah well, we'll see tonight 

[Jeffrey]

Not racing are Eck, Tim S, Greg D and Thomas B.

That sounds like the crew from a boyband.
