As always I'll be on the server at 6PM GMT.
That would be 7PM CET then. I'll try to join around that time. |

No worries DD. Just left after doing 101 laps, so quite busted now  Big thanks to Hristo for coaching and setup improvements. This rotation stuff is going to take a lot of work though. Tried and tried and tried after you left Hristo, but just couldn't get it right. Could not get close to my own improved pb set earlier in the session, not matter how hard I tried. However, going back to my own original setup, used for that pb, I still couldn't get nowhere near it  Hope sleeping on things will help before tomorrow. New pb in the Porker is now 1:46.853 (but not something I'm likely to repeat it seems..) |

The Porsche is difficult to repeat anything in it seems to me, apart from exiting backwards.....

New pb in the Porker is now 1:46.853 (but not something I'm likely to repeat it seems..) You're welcome, Erling! Sometimes it requires taking a break to improve after practicing so hard, so hopefully you'll figure it out by tomorrow. To anyone who needs my updated setups for the Opel and Porsche, I've uploaded them in the online database. For the Opel though, I would soften the rear slow dampers and maybe increase the front ones. Best personal times so far - 1:44.3 with the Opel and 1:45.7 with the Porsche (almost a 1:45.5 but messed up last corner). Manfred did a 1:43 with the Datsun, so there's a clear hierarchy between the 3 cars on this track, though who knows how it's going to be in a long run and different fuel levels. |

Awesome battle with Hristo at the beginning. I had to be on the max to keep him behind at the corners. I was a lot faster on the straights so this gave me the opportunity to wait until my car start working better and pull away. I drove really well during the first 20 laps and i am delighted with the victory. Grats to Hristo and Manfred on the podium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwae2fOBuMc |

Congrats to Dimitar on the well deserved victory and to Manfred for 3rd in the Porsche!
I tried my best in qualifying and the first 1/3rd of the race, but it wasn't enough. Once I lost the slipstream, it became impossible to keep up with Dimitar's Datsun, plus I felt so exhausted that I had to ease off a little and mind the tyres as well. Still very happy with 2nd, though this being my first point scoring result, I don't have much of a chance in the championship.

This went exactly as I feared I had managed to trim my laptime in practise to a 1.45.1, and felt like the 914 was starting to behave a little more consistently with the setup tweaks I had done. But, come race day, using the same setup, I was nowhere close to that, and it was just throwing me off the road again. My race was essentially done early on by flying off whilst trying to remain at least in sight of Manfred, followed by another longer off at Tosa to put me only in front of Clive. He then quit or got discoed, so it was a traditional chasing Erling scenario for me, always a long process......the car was very much not on my side, partly because it wasn't anyway, but also due to the damage the crashes had caused. I am guessing Erling had some issues also, and towards the of the race I managed to catch him and wander on through. Such a strange car. There are certain sections where it feels quite quick indeed, but then the next thing you know it has decided to inspect the nearest tree or fence. I love a Porsche, but this one is driving me slightly potty....Kudos to Manfred for finding the way with it...... |

Daz has things about right for the Porsche, in parts of the lap it felt good and reasonably quick, but in the next section it was totally un-cooperative. I was perplexed by its handling through T1. Not even really a corner, should be just a flat out curve  Most laps I could hold the inside line and keep my foot firmly on the gas, but occasionally Mr Porsche decided that we should have more understeer and the car simply drifted off the racing line and threatened to test the outside armco ??!!! Next lap it was back to Harry Flatters in 5th gear again with no drama As the race progressed I found areas where I could gain chunks of time by adjusting my braking/acceleration points, but again the car appeared to lose interest in the tarmac and developed a sudden desire to study the local botany. After several of these unplanned excursions, mechanical deficiencies became more noticeable and when DD materialised from hyperspace to lap me, just as I was exploring an experimental line around the final turn, I decided that it was time to quit. I have noticed a strange anomaly in my graphics in recent races, although I have not made any adjustments to my graphics settings. The central area of the screen has developed a "watery" effect which TBH is very distracting and uncomfortable to look through. Any suggestions?? I have an Nvidea 1080 GPU and 16GB ram running 4060x2190 resolution on a 42" monitor at 60hz. Normally ( and in GPL at only 60FPS ) the picture is crystal clear and sharp. I do not think that it is the monitor as this effect is not visible on youtube/tv/websites etc. |

Try shader level DX7? Fullscreen anti aliasing level 4.
If that's what they already are, maybe try some different settings
I have never used vertical sync, but that might help.

That's interesting Matt, think I'm on DX9 with no AA selected. I remember being told many moons ago to make sure it was not set to auto for some reason....
Vertical sync is off, Nvidia 3080 with 32gb on a 34 inch ultra wide at 3440x1440. No issues to report on this track for me.
Had a driver update recently Clive?
