UKGTL Season 11 Lawrence Clemo Memorial Trophy - Lime Rock (mountain) - May 12

[phspok]

Team Psuedo can announce that half of it is wayy off the pace with 55.9 and 56.1 respectively in 904-6 and TVR respectively
Jag is 57s not tried Locust. Will probably take the 904-6 being as I haven't run it yet anywhere.

Make that all of it.

Bill, I think your final gearing ratio has to depend on if/when your hitting the limiter at the end of that long start/finish straight

Also the fuel figure I gave in an earlier post did not take into account the fuel modifier so I would say the fuel used would be under 3 litres per lap. Plus after some driving in the Elan I'm unable to get anywhere close to the quoted 1:52's. But I expect some drivers will.

Thanks Tony.  I'm correctly geared but hoped that I had another higher ratio available  - there isn't. Had a quick look at track today with an all Elan practice field they were in the 1:50 to 1:52 bracket, rode with them and no way am I going to be able to match that.  :'(  So I guess it's more practice, tinker with my trusted setup and hope to find more speed.  Looking at some of the times I guess I'll be lapped at least once so fuel should be OK at 3x13 laps.

Bill, don't worry unduly about the AI times. Their all  . I managed a 1:54 once yesterday night in the Elan but mostly it's consistent 1:55's. I wouldn't expect you to pit more than once unless you suffer damage. Send me a pm if you want my setup and I'll sort that tonight.

[BillThomas]

Thanks for offer Tony. I think at last I understand how to setup car to my driving style  . Setting car up is one thing, driving it is another.  Your setup looks too loose as our US colleagues would say, I prefer sharp turn in - my old reactions aren't quick enough for catching loose rear end. 

[SpecialKS]

Still crawling around at 1:56,6 in the TVR, 1:56,75 in the 904/6 and 1:57,7 in the 904/4.

 

Really don't know yet which car to choose. Don't want to take the Elan again.

Hope to make it in time for tomorrow's event.

 

Btw: one of my favorite tracks although I'm not the fastest there.

Probably your last chance to drive the Porsche at a UKGTL event this year, if that helps you make your mind up

Is the practice server up and running now ?

I don't see it in the Lobby, but that might be due to my reinstalling GTL.

It's set fir simulation, and I did install the lobby fix.

Anything else I missed ?

Sorry about that. Server now running.

[Hotkeys]

Just joined the server with no problems. A pretty hard track to learn IMO, I couldn't get anywhere the laptimes mentioned earlier in this thread. 1.54.xx was my best shot.

I met some GTL-Legends out there tonight, and I was relieved to see, that they also had problems learning their way around the track 

I hope I can make it back for tomorows race, if not I hope you have fun.

Crikey you haven't made this easy for us part timers Tony Track is fast as hell and it all looks the same. That said, when I finally worked where it all was, awesomely fast and flowing in the TVR. Did I mention that this track is fast?

[Legzy]

I'll be in the 54-55 camp in the ladies Elan.
Very tough (& fast ) track this to learn.

[goldtop]

54s in the 904 which is nice through those sweeping corners, but the TVR will have the grunt where it matters I reckon. Should be a good un....just hope I can make it as it's looking a bit 50/50 atm.

[Wiltshire Tony]

IMPORTANT

It appears that for some time the practise server has been running with the fuel modifier set to 3x and not the race setting of 2x.

I would suggest that all drivers check their fuel consumption rates in the online practise session now running.

[BillThomas]

Yes that was my original fuel problem.  Good news is that fuel consumption is now OK and in an offline race just broke into the 1:56s {couple of setup tweaks).    Only problem is I'm still a carp driver and terribly inconsistent, put in a batch of good laps followed by a batch of "off track" laps.
