Following on from a suggestion made in the first test race we'll be granting Visa's to allow the Formula Easters into Kent for a demonstration run.
This time the entire field will be available - can I ask that you all nominate a car/chassis by Tuesday so I can ensure the server has the correct number of each on it Smiley Until then It'll have as many as possible of each variant. (If possible please try and drive something different to last time - otherwise I'm not learning Tongue)

All the cars can be seen a few posts down. Pick one you like the look of and have fun setting them up!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Car choices so far:

Fabri         = AE2
Barone      = AE2 (r2)
Syd          = AE2
Goldtop     = Melkus
Max          = RAF80
Maxime     = MTX1-03b (r3)
Pete         = MTX1-03b
Kdiesel      = Estonia 21
Frex         = MTX1-06
Stefan      = MTX1-06
Lorenzo    = MTX1-06
FMG         = Estonia 20

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Password: see above

ALL TIMES ARE BST
Practice: 19:30 (45 mins)
Qual: 20:15 (15 mins)
Race: 20:30  (2x 20 mins - 2nd race is reversed grid)
(20mins plus 1 lap each race)

Cars allowed:

Hi FMG,

Which car would you recommend that has a good default setup? I am not much good at making setup changes

For me the Avia is best of of the box. But we proved very well in the last race when I shared my setup, that my idea of a good one doesn't suit anyone else  Grin

I was going to pick something that was unpopular for the sake of variety - so I won't know till tuesday!
Performance wise they're pretty close to identical once setup - pick what ever you think is pretty Wink

Server is now set and up! Cool

For those of you who don't want to wade through AC's infomation screens, here are the cars:

Avia AE2:



A Czech Formula Easter chassis handmade by it's original driver, despite this it saw a fair degree of success.
Uses Lada 1300cc engine and 4 speed Wartburg gearbox.



Estonia 20:



Estonian design, very popular in the early 80's with several drivers recording success.
Uses Lada 1300cc motor coupled with a 4 speed ZAZ gearbox.



Estonia 21:



Successor to the 20, possibly the first ground effects car in Eastern Europe - based on a Lotus 81. Also recorded a fair amount of success.
Uses 1300cc Lada engine and a 5 speed ZAZ gearbox (this is less useful than you might think Wink )



Melkus MT77-2:



An East German design, the most basic - but also most successful - car from East Germany in the Friendship cup.
Uses a Lada 1300cc engine with a 4 speed Wartburg 311 transmission.



MTX1-03b/c:



A Czech design - you all know them from the previous race Wink Cars were sold all over Eastern Europe for competition.
Uses Lada 1300cc Engine and unknown 4 speed gearbox.



MTX1-06:



Replacement for the 1-03 and based heavily on the experimental 1-04. Despite a lighter chassis and proper aerodynamic research, it did not have any real advantage over the competition.
Uses Lada 1300cc engine and unknown 4 speed gearbox as with the MTX1-03.



RAF80:



Another Czech design, this also has limited ground effects and won the coveted 'most angular' award for soviet racecars in the early 80's whistling
Engine and gearbox not known - but 1300cc and 4 gears is what you get!


My best advice is pick something you like the look of and have a go in it - they will respond to setup changes, but if you realy don't like how it drives pick something else that looks good to you. Hopefully this way we'll get a nice varied grid Cool

I've asked Juriks permission - if he says yes then I'll create a single RAR for this race and the season.
If not then you'll have to do them individually I'm afraid.

Either way, you can probably do them before I can make a pack!

If I remember the file structure right - you only need to extract the car folder from each download anyway.

Can I have some setup advice?
I've attached a pic of tire temps.
How do you guys determine what is a good tire pressure settings?
Is the tick part in the middle being in green most important? Or do you check for pressure numbers after a few laps? I think I saw in chat someone mention the tires pressures should be 28psi or something like it, after they have been warmed up. It was with some other cars as well, so I don't know if 28 would be a universal number.
I had my avia tire temps as 15psi in the setup screen, and while running the tires would go from blue to green in that onscreen setting, while psi number stayed blue
Then I upped the temps in setup screen to 17psi, and now the right side tires were not getting as green while running (lighter shade of green) but I saw the psi numbers were green(around 26psi), and I found half a second, and was generally quicker.
Is it a balance between the two settings? What if can't get the tick part on the screen to green, but the numbers are in the green (opposite of what I initially had with avia)?

I think, in first you need have a correct tires pressure (green number when you are driving). And this is, of course, not a universal value. For deteminate the correct value, using the APP, I set it for be green with hot tires.
About tires temp., suspensions setup can be help to have the correct temperatures.

On Avia I have 20 psi - 20 psi in front and 17 psi-18 psi on rear, cold. It is around 25 psi hot.

Tire pressure is more important than temp as Fabri says.
For setting my own pressures I use an app called Protires - you can find it HERE on race department.
It does the same things as the standard app, but better.
To work with addon cars you'll need the LUT packs, either the stupidly big version containing everything or rummage through the google drive link like I do and just grab the cars you use - both these options can be found here: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/protyres-ini-lut-pack.18088/

From memory, these run at 26psi (hot). Although I've been playing with setups in the Estonia 21 recently and it uses different tires to most other cars.

As already said, you can then control temp through further playing with alignment and suspension settings.

Jurik has given me permission to put all of the files into one RAR, so those who haven't got the cars yet can do so here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/n9ulop5f6pyjen7/Formula%20Easter.rar?dl=0

It's a 1.2Gb download, so if that's likely to cause problems you may want to follow my earlier links and get all the cars separately
