2025 Nurburgring Endurance Series

[Deb]

@Skid_Marc_ here is a setup for the 296. There is also an iRacing setup. I'll try it tomorrow. Let me know which you prefer.

I couldn't believe the cars understeer on cold tyres. I already hated the stadium section, but this was beyond anything I had ever experienced... until I realized the tyre spray in my mirrors! The track was still a bit wet, despite the "Chance of Rain: None". 25 minutes in, and the solo test session was declared "dry", so it probably won't last long with 50 people running on the track.

Setup feels fine for these conditions, so it's probably good!

The chance of rain is "none" because when you create a test session from the schedule it will set the rain window to "up to 1 hour before the session start" as default for some reason. If you change that setting to allow rain at any point you should see the same percentage of rain as the series.

I tested the iracing setup in the same conditions as the one I posted yesterday and I think I might like it a little better. It is loser, but still seems reasonably stable. I was a little faster but quite close. I then tested them both in a practice session and either they'be bopped the ferrari or I don't know. I was getting to 275 on the back straight on the downhill in a test drive session and only 264 in the practice session, in both setups, so I think there must be a bop.

Wait, so you're saying we might not have the highest top straight-line speed?! That's a real change of pace for B2O teams......

 

[Deb]

Well, the first practice session I was in was rain the whole time and track is quite wet.

 

[Skid_Marc_]

Of course.

Boy, yesterday, I was about to give up, rain and fog. I was the only GT3 that got a full lap down in the PS. The Porsches seemed to be having a better time, but it was rough. I can't see having much of a race in those conditions. But, what a difference a day makes!!! Today, it was perfect, no rain 19 degrees 23 track, lots of grip, so much more fun. Let's hope we get good conditions tomorrow!!!

"Slaughterhouse..." by Dominic A Pacyga I believe was the book I was trying to think of during the race.
