UKAC Season 17 DTM Rnd 4 - AVUS - Jan 27

[Jos Ogos]

I would be just curious to try Tim's setup for Merc. I always hated that car, and never been fast with it. Even if it's difficult to put together the perfect lap, BMW has a potential laptime in my hand of 55.2. Instead, after 50 laps with Merc, if I put together my best intermediate, I'm half a second slower in it. Merc has a good top speed, a good braking, a good cornering speed, but when it's time to record a timed lap it comes out I'm always slower in it.

Did you mean 54.2?

Sure Jos, you're right

[FullMetalGasket]

You'll have to wait - I haven't made one yet!
Too busy pulling the G25 apart and trying out a new Flight stick.

I've had a quick go in the Caymans for tomorrow but aren't sure when I'll be trying these

[Lorenzo Galluzzi]

Last wednesday was not my last race with the g25, I bought a g920, I just can't drive it and I think tomorrow I'll send it back to Amazon. Has anyone had the same experience as me?

[FullMetalGasket]

Does it have an FF preset for AC? If not then it might be worth googling first to see if you can find recommended settings.
Otherwise I'm afraid I can't help as I haven't spent all my money yet!

[Lorenzo Galluzzi]

Matteo has kindly suggested to use a software to modify the FFB settings and to generate a LUT file, i'll try to go in that way and watch what happen.

Now it is completely undrivable, no way to control the car properly.

Cripes, i havent done a lap yet  will hopefully jump on this evening and learn the new track. I can see i am very behind the amount of lappage done on stracker 

Watching that Avus YT video with the Merc out in front driven by 'Thim'..i was thinking hang on a minute....   Also did you see the huge pile up in race 2?  Gives a clue what could go wrong with this combo 

[Manteos]

I upload my setups, even if usually my teammates states they're rubbish Don't be angry with me in this case. I never touch default suspention in any case, so you'll notice just slightly difference by default set.

For a better braking just follow what Tim said

ALFA setup: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pP-KNnslYNHC-YiIRNyAtSqQRoMfdoFk?usp=sharing This is my actual setup for the race. Fabri suggested me to modify splitter from 1 to 2, but I had no time to try it. Do it by yourself and see if your laptime improve

[FullMetalGasket]

I've just uploaed some extra cameras for this track - you can grab them from the 1st post

[Manteos]

I hope I can do this race chaps, but I'm not sure of it at the moment. It's possible that I'll have to make a looooong work videocall after dinner. In that case I won't have any chance to join these races. It depends in part on me, so I'll try to do my best to finish earlier, but can't assure nothing

[Stefan aka Postal]

Can't you have diner behind the wheel Matteo? Avus is only some straights...

[Mark J]

Not the most exciting track in the world, but that braking zone for the hairpin is something in these cars  Trying to drop 6 gears and braking without snaking from full chat  Then the Beemer suffers with a long first gear so is tardy out of it.
Got some laps in last night, but not enough, still off the pace 

[Jos Ogos]

Not the most exciting track in the world

I'm not sure about that, Mark. It's obviously not too complex but, considering it's just a couple of straights, a chicane, hairpin and parabolic, it does offer a lot being quite technical and full of challenges... I quite like it.

[FullMetalGasket]

Looking at the timing I think the first 8 or 9 individual times are within 0.6 of a sec - provided we can manage braking into T1 safely I think this round will be anything BUT boring

[Bob]

Is there a penalty for straight lining chicane.
