UKAC - Kyalami - Dec 27

[Ceolmor]

I'd like to sign up for this one please.

Car choice:  Ferrari 330 P4.

I had never before driven the Ferrari or Kyalami.  Both are awesome. 

[Jeffrey]

No need to pick a car for this event. I think there will be 10 cars available for each, so you can decide when you join the server.

I think I'll go for either the GT40 or Porsche, both felt fun to drive. The Ferrari was a bit twitchy for me, but that might be the setup.

I'm currently trialling a 10% restrictor on the Ferrari's, It has them pretty even with the others in the hands of the AI, but I'm still a bit faster in them.
The Porsche struggles when driven by the AI, but I'm trying that next so will see how that copes with a human behind the wheel.
The Alfa is too slow sadly (I had to try!), but the big Jag is actually almost perfectly matching the GT40's and P330's when all are AI controlled.

Will update further once I've done some more testing

Thanks for the work. I haven't found a way for offline air restriction yet. Can't find the option in the custom championship.

Just tried all 3 cars here, all great fun to drive. This circuit suits them well as you can get the power down nicely yet still a few corners to get a nice slide and bit of oversteer fun in

When you're done selecting everyone's on the drivers drop down list, click on the little green tab at the top of the car list - it's called handicaps.
You'll then find options against every car for ballast and restrictors.

Results with me driving are as follows. There is some variation between runs as the championship seems to be randomising the track conditions slightly but I think these are fairly representative:

330 (10% restricted) =     1:24.697
908 ( No restrictors)  =     1:24.421
GT40 (No restrictors) =     1:25.264

These are on a 'green' track so won't represent my times for the current server settings.

Blimey, thanks.

10% Doesn't sound a lot, but it seems to have quite the influence. I'll try and do some laps tomorrow, because preferably, I'd like the Kyalami race with the tweaked Ferrari. That way we can tweak it for a second test race.

Hey jeff, can I choice the 908 instead the 330? I hope isn't too late!
Also, if is possible, I did personal livery for me and Fabri (You know, I love made it )

No need to pick a car for this race, it's a fun/test race. It will have 8 cars of each when you join and you can just pick when you join. Skins won't be possible because of that, but it will be for the season.

For some reason, even with 25% air restriction, I'm hardly any slower with the Ferrari. Maybe just put the server on 25% and see what everybody else thinks. Also, I'd like some more love for the GT40, as it seems to be the slowest at the moment, which could mean slowing the Ferrari down even more and the Porsche a bit.

Thanks jeff, in fact I did also for the championship which we want partecipate with the 908.
My opinion: Ferrari is really more fast then the other, I love her, but maybe need to consider the championship exclusion.
I manage 1.21.921, and I think that could be more low.

Server now has a 25% air restriction for the Ferrari and, at Jeff's request, I've invalidated the previous times. See how you all do now

[PorcoRosso86]

Excellent, I will try
If the best is near 1.23.5, could be ok for me

Very nice lap.

The Ferrari won't be in the championship at its default status. The 25% air restriction is a bit of a gamble and just first try as I'd like other's opinions. It needs to be slowed down by roughly 1,5 seconds, so it will probably require more restrcting. But I was already noticing the lower top speed with 25%, so even more will make it the slowest on the straight, but the most nimble in the corners, which could make it an interesting fight, just not a historic accurate one .

Thanks Pete. Afraid I'll keep spamming you with other numbers the next few days
