UKGTR Season 7 GTC Sprint - Brno - Feb 5

[Mr_B.A.Baracus]

I managed to get a 2:02:7 last night in quali setup but for race with (more than) enough fuel I'm nearer 2:05:5 ish. has anyone tested soft slicks for 25 laps??

[Aagramn]

The fronts wear down pretty quickly at Brno. Back in season 4 I tried an M3 on softs, I ended up crawling around for the last 2 or 3 laps. Softs may be possible, depending on your car, setup and driving style. I'll be puttings meds on my Mosler.

[Mr_B.A.Baracus]

I'll be in the mosler too, and I've been practising with meds so I think I'll stick with them!

[Blunder]

Good luck! Not sure the mediums on my mosler will make it through the race either! 

Must be something to do with the fact that I can't drive for toffee!!

I'll not be suprised if a Vertigo or two came in the top 5 tomorrow, even on GTR2 rank without the -30Kg it's 2:00.3 and it really flies here.

The TVR's a bit of a handful but I can squeeze into the 2:01's in race trim.  Not sure I'll be keeping that up all race though!

[Simon Gymer]

I still think the Modena needs more ballast help come the mid season break. I can only get it down to 2:01.7 in TT mode with qualifying setup. It could do with another 10kg off imho.

2:02:7 here in full race trim in the modena....yes...please help  :'(

I tried your setuo and with it I did the same time, but that set has terrible turn-in. When I took most of that away it immediatly was more than a sec faster.

[Mr_B.A.Baracus]

How much fuel do you guys put in for a 25 lap race? The ingame amount seems to just be nonsence, not really sure what the point in it is tbh!

Edit: just realised it's 40mins, so under 20 laps then.

[Kerr]

I will be here for this one.

I'm nightshift tonight so will escape as soon as the race ends, but I will post later from work.

Hopefully the race will run sharp on time so I can make work on time.

Time to actually have a look at the track and see what car I'm choosing for this series

What did you do to the setup to make it turn in better for you? I had to make it far less evil to reduce the "fally offy" factor and as a result the setup is stable and boring, something that I know you really don't like.

Usual stuff, but especially lower that 100% coast  . Downed it to 20 or 30% and that already helped a lot. Also more caster, lower ride height and making it symmetrical.
Lower front ARB and more of that. Made the whole thing symmetrical as I found some things very weird (like rideheight).
It's a bit more tricky to drive indeed, but I'm sure that's worth a second

[Madd-RIP]

I can understand the 100% coast mainly due to the Fezza's tendancy for snap oversteer under braking, but I usually find Motec is very useful for the diff settings (in my case at least!).
I'll be using my Mosler setup tweaked for the track, hope I do better this time though!

[Simon Gymer]

Ah right, you've basically done the opposite of what I've done to create the setup in the first place. ROFL.

I found I had to reduce the castor drastically to get rid of the horrible yawing you get with the F360 and then I had to increase the coast to prevent the back end coming round under braking and I hate low ride height cause it's bad to hit the floor. I have been steadily reducing the front ARB, so maybe I'll go a little further on that.

[Madd-RIP]

Do you use Motec a lot Simon?
