I believe Legzy is currently having a look at the 2nd Benetton. In fairness, he's moved down pacewise from the March and was trying the Williams last night but was still a tad too quick.

There should be a few of us on the server this evening....why not pop along and see where you are in the Patrese Williams? By the look of your times atm I reckon it will drop you right in the middle of the action.

26.3 best in Ferri, 27.8 in WIlliams
Spin when lifting all the time in March, so I will drive Ferri, or if I need demoting put me in a WIlliams please

1.27.7 in Williams but 1.25.3 in Fezza!

Interesting stuff tonight. I was into the 24s hotlapping but can't get near that in traffic even when I get a tow on the long straight. Will be difficult to find clean overtaking opportunities in race, but I'll be hoping to pick up any scraps that come my way.

Gotta say too, this track is a work of art  It's only when you take a slow drive around you appreciate how nicely done it is.

So very true.. It's a great flowing track when at 8-9/10th's of speed.  Track would be a ton of fun in a RSR 911 .

Indeed, I think racing on this track would be much better with GT classes, the track is too narrow and twisty for this cars.

I expect to last 3 laps.

lol......just wait till we get to Monaco

Martin is going a second faster than me in the Ferri yet we are much the same in the Billiams
Guess I must have an inappropriate setup. Also I was getting the ferri front right dark orange
after a few laps, (with hard tyres) so something is odd.

Hi guys,

Long time no see. I'd like to join once again, but with this f1 mod I'm having some trouble.
It runs fine but for some reason there are no wheels on the cars. My stupidity or is it something I missed.
Please help.

Hi Evert and welcome.

You'll need to go to your plr file and make sure this line reads as follows:

Wheels Visible In Cockpit="1"

You are welcome to join us for this series, but please take some time to read through this thread and choose one of the remaining cars....

I have updated the link for the championship standings page in the first post.

looking forward to this race. I have so far been fastest with wing 50 - 50. I may be able to get a better lap time with it a bit lower but definitely not lower than 40 - 40.

1.27 ish I think it was.

[H@L9000]

I managed a 25 with 50-50 wing then tried 45-45 wing and got a 24 (TT mode), so I could go a bit faster by reducing it more I think but, that will do for now.

I also had major stuttering on this track and sorted it by turning the shadows and shadow quality down to medium. I have had this on the Nogaro track as well in the past.

[Geoffers]

Hope you all had a good race.

Mine ended early again  . I don't think I will bother with this any more, I'm just too slow & get in other peoples way. I caught poor Lazlow out by how early I was braking for corners, sorry Lazlow.

Hope you have fun the rest of the season, I'm going to stick to something a bit more sedate.

[Samb]

Well that was a shock to the system  . I have absolutely no idea how you guys managed to be so quick in these brutes, so major respect for that! As for me, sadly my geriatric computer seems to be showing age. Despite setting most graphical options on low, I was still having massive FPS drops through the bends on occasion which wasn't exactly helpful when going through the corners at terrific speed!

About 10 minutes into the qualifying, I was getting happier with my setup, although the Lotus still had far too much understeer at low speed, but the soft ARBs helped. I had numerous crashes throughout my run, partly due to me overdriving but I can attribute some of them to my ruddy PC.

As for the race, 3 laps in and enjoying the show up front, another attack of low FPS happened through the middle of the 2nd corner. With that, my car clipped the kerb, spun out, hit the armco ripping a wheel off, race over.

Still, this race was short but sweet. I think I'll be needing a bit more practice in these machine to be truly happy with the setup. I'll make sure to set everything to minimum next time out! See you all at the next one.

[lazlow]

Sorry Geoffers That was a combination of me running to close and catching lag at the same time. I was preparing to give myself a drive through penalty for being such a noob. sorry again.
