UKGTL Season 21 The Top 12 Tracks - Rouen - Jan 20

[EvilClive]

Ah! OK, apologies for attributing it to Geoffers when you were the good Samaritan.

I will have a delve into my tracks/setups folder but I think that I have done  a comprehensive re-install of GTL since season 19 when we last ran these little gems 

[Geoffers]

I don't think in this instance that my setup would help very much, I recall that I was never very successful in getting one of these to the finish without having some sort of incident. Matt seemed to have these much more sorted than I did.

Drove it for the first time Monday night, not easy at all....I think I was over 2 seconds slower than the AI cars from memory! That has not happened in anything for about 15 years....

[EvilClive]

FWIW.....
I have just spent ( wasted??) around an hour playing with and adjusting just about every parameter on the single setup page. ( If I used the 2 page setup options there were just too many parameters and possible combinations)

The only aim was to get a car that did not try to kill me at each corner and at each gearchange  .

I used Geoffer's advice on diff settings as a basis, plus Tony's working setup, which were certainly better than the default but still not comfortable.
Then I remembered and used the setup tips document that Geoffers posted some time ago.......slowly going more and more radical as the results appeared to be taming the wilder eccentricities of these F3 cars.
I have now arrived at a place where the car is stable (ish) and at least I am focusing more on the braking points/apexes/gearchanges than on keeping myself alive  . I have no idea if I am mediocre or just plain slow, but at least I can run for 3-4 laps in a relatively comfortable and relaxed manner without testing armco and trees for impact resistance.

Taking a tea break now ( with chocolate Hob Nobs ) to refresh my brain, then maybe some longer runs to see if the tyres will support my setup for 12 laps or more.....probably destroyed after 6 laps

You could post a lap time...    (And hope you enjoyed the tea!  )

[EvilClive]

OK ...................lol.
Just did a high 2:06, but if I can get smoother with the brakes ( or adjust the setup to compensate ?) there might be some more time to be found...but not much with my current setup/ability in these cars.

#10 for me Tony, please.

06 is about where I am at the moment, but can't do that time every lap

I'm asking myself if the car I have tested on server last night is the same car you're speaking because I didn't find any problem to keep the car ontrack with default setup. I didn't remember times though.  We'll see tonight.

I was a very high 2.05 from memory, but 2.06s more commonly. Did about 20 laps or so.......

One thing I did notice is that the engine in the rear is at risk in the braking zones, the AI were able to break better than me and a small hit would cause the engine to explode. Also, the wheels do fly off quite easily, causing trails of sparks

28 plz tony

Glück auf!

Just under 2:06 is my best so far, but not easy for me to achieve.
