iRacing Season 3 Riley - Silverstone (GP 2000-2009) - May 11

[Ken Murray]

1:43.733 now my best, but a sustainable race pace will be high 44s for me unless I discover some setup magic.

The new split time feature tells me I'm capable of a low 43!! But I doubt I'd ever actually see that. Be sure to share any magic you may discover Dave!!

Blimey this cars harder than the skippy 

So easy to spin, really didnt like it at first but gradually feeling better with it but its such hard work to keep it on the track. Was expecting a bit more after so many said it was really good

Mine says a 43.3 is on but I'm not sure I believe it as it doesn't account for setup changes - you have to clear all the splits really. I put my setup on the TS site, but all I really did was add more rear toe in and soften the dampers and rear springs. It's still a bit of a handful!

Another thing on the split time feature I've noticed. If you start a session and then leave and return to track a number of times it only ever logs the best time from the first stint as your best time. It does seem to continue to update any optimal times you set (as you say regardless of setup changes you may have made) but your actual best lap remains the best from the first stint. As you mention, clearing every time you enter the track is maybe the best way.

Having to miss out on this one. Moved house last weekend and still waiting for BT to activate the line this coming Friday. 16 working days is carp. Using a borrowed mobile dongle thing which is enough to connect, spawn a test session, then disconnect buts thats it at the moment.

Hope you all have a good one.

Thats strange , you would think it would always show your best lap regardless of session          How does it work out your optimum lap ...  It says my optimum lap is 42.8 but if i put together my best sectors it dosn't come out as a 42.8

Sorry about the password confusion, I would have used the normal practice one but the announcement post said

NOTE: All sessions protected by the main password.

Which I now see conflicts with the text in the password notification at the top of the page 

I wasn't sure if you've been using the race one on Monday nights, haven't had time to free for a few weeks and I did try and make it clear in the server's up post that it was the password above, ie. in this thread, just incase there was some confusion Anyway there were only 2 to try!

Well you knocked nearly a second off that tonight Dave. Was that purely down to reduced fuel, or just getting more familiar with the car? I tried the setup you shared but it was a bit tight for me, I couldn't get it to turn. I'm still more comfortable with Mike's settings.

[Mike Wrightson]

So far, a lot of the Riley setups I've tried as set really soft, and they don't respond right for me at all.  I need the car stiffer so I can carry some speed into turns, then stable on the power coming out.

No worries Pete, I had a nice little drive on my own and set a new pb. I was more worried because I have built a new PC and its the first time I've tried to log on to a hosted race.

Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow guys...
