Best I could manage in the GT40 mk2 was a 34.3, compared to a 31.8 in the 906. I tried the GT40 mk 1 earlier offline and it felt slower than the mk2 although nicer to drive.

I went slightly quicker in the GT40 and about your pace in the 906 thx to Tudors setup Kudos to anyone who can get the GT40 into 31's. Looks like it might be a field of 906's which is aesthetically a shame but it should make for a great race

[Mark J]

Sure the rest of us cant talk you fast bods into taking the GT40? It would more than likely even up the show  or maybe take the normal 906?
Otherwise i am sure the usual fast 4 will enjoy racing each other up front

Who is this 'tudor' thou speaketh of?...and can i have his setup? I've only done a small handful of laps with a pb of 1:34 so far, so well off the ace speed here at the moment.

Great track and cool cars again.

LOL

I've got Tudor's setup as well and he told me it was one of yours MJ!


1:34.08 for me in the 906E, which is about what he was doing with it a couple of days ago.

I cannot comprehend a 1:31.

EDIT:  Sorry forgot to say.  Tudor = GoldTop

perhaps Tudor is me...who's to say   

well if its one of mine how come i can only do 1:34s then?...or is that 'mortal' pace around here?  1:31 does sound extra terrestrial !

[Clive Loynes]

............................1:31 does sound extra terrestrial !

I suspect that it is the two corners that are planted on the crests of the undulations that make up most of the difference.  That's where I feel slowest anyway.  T5 and T9

Not managed to spy on any aliens yet to see how it's done.

I have tweaked the setup that Tudor provided to make it more to my liking, including taking the coast side diff down to 10%.  I also reduced the power side by one click because my right foot is an idiot.

I think that was one of the things I tweaked from MJ's online setup because more coast seems to carry me through the corners better. I'm down to 1:33.0 and that's probably about it for me. I did wonder if anyone would get round under 1:30 earlier and I can see this happening in quali

Cheers for the setup MJ. I've used it as a base for all my 906 races and is one of the reasons I enjoy driving it so much

Dear Server.

To save joining frustrations, please can you remind me whether we are using the terrain patch or not on the server?

Matt.

[Legzy]

Dear Matt,
I did feel sorry for you the other day when you kept getting booted.
Just to confirm we do have the terrain patch.

Regards
Server

Business is good which means racing during the day is tough for me. I've got a meeting with a client Thursday morning which should get me back home right around starting time. I may make it by the hair of my chinny chin chin. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a lap or 2 in during quali.

[Hotkeys]

Thx for all the help with setups and stuff .... nice gestures towards a newbie

Funny thing is, I tried out to the long-tail 906, found it a lot easier to handle ( i.e keep it on the tarmac )  and got a better laptime too (¤_¤)
Nothing to brag about, but at least I finally got me a 1.34 lap  

How on earth you guys manage to get below 1.33 is beyond me. . . . . . maybe I should consider loosing the additional weight of my 2 hotbabes in the passenger seat ?

Nahh, bad idea  . .. . . need them to comfort me if I get lapped  

Stig

[Mark J]

hmm, wasted half hour trying to peddle the Langheck around here but couldnt match my normal 906 times. 
PB of 1:34.001 now 

Question for the tech heads:- what is considered the best option for power diff on tracks like this with crests on turns. Should you have high power or low power diff? I find the car trys to be dragged off circuit when you try and get on the power over the crests. Its always puzzled me at undulating circuits like this.

[Mike Miller]

I'm not an expert at diff settings, but I typically go with a lower power diff unless there is a tight hairpin where I need to get a great launch (think Nurburg, Long Beach, Mosport, etc..). A lower diff should reduce wheelspin at crest of hills in Madness at Mid Ohio.

[Manteos]

On Monday i was playing football, and after 5 minutes I heard a "crack"...

Yep... that was my malleolus ...

I will be over for at least one month guys, and I hope to see you soon on the track! It was fate I couldn't race with you!
Have fun even for me guys, sometimes I'll come back to visit you as ever!

Bye

[Paul968]

Sorry to here that Manteos  Hope it heals quickly
