Well, Ken is only going to have time to skin one GTE car...

 

[Deb]

Wow, okay, that's Tuesday right? Geez, not a lot of time to work out the setup and practice. Should be interesting.

 

[Jes_971]

Schedule looks good on my end, Zac. Thank you for your effort!

 

[Noodleguitar]

Our current plan is that some of us who are buying both cars will do some testing ASAP, to see if one is faster on the straight or a death trap for example. Then we need to combine that information with everybody's preference to figure out the best car to drive for both teams.

 

[Bedo]

I will also be getting both cars and be able to do some testing on Tuesday. Is there any preference right now for brand? Or either will be fine? I would be fine with either.

I think I will have money just for 1,wanted Ferrari but maybe I figure something out for second.Dont have job at the moment,that is why.
Do you know will be possible like download cars and test them when iRacing is down?

It should be while they do the update. Usually, they post the content download link separately so you can download the content and use it in offline mode while they deploy.

Listen to that thing. It practically purrs.

e: Apparently the 488 is really good over curbs.

Wow, amazing!!!! Can't wait to drive it!!!! The fuel mapping point is interesting with 12 settings. Will need to develop a strategy if we go with this car.

 

[Bedo]

Once we master the strategy of "Don't crash", I'm sure the fuel saving strategy will come handy!

Sounds like this car might be easier to drive than the Aston.

Can we make a special sponsorship request for the paint? I'd like "Party At The Lake House" to appear somewhere in large and colorful letters. In exchange, photos and videos will be posted on a very prominent auto manufacturer's customer forum. It will get visibility.

Ok thank you.I also think I have that link somewhere,will try

 

[Bedo]

Is this helpful or you guys already know this?

In a nutshell, soft rear tires for exit traction to counter low wing for top speed.
Soft springs all around (my guess here is to allow the car to compress under downforce and get a more streamlined profile).

 

[SavreticD]

I raced 2 races with that,was similar already to mine setup but I did copy dampers from him(correct settings) Fast on straights,bad in chicanes so I harden front more,little harder rear and wing 2,Im faster like that when you looking whole lap and its just 2kmh slower.I mean 2kmh is enough to pass yes,Im just more confident in car,braking etc with 2 and little harder springs,not much,just 2-3 clicks.
Oh yes and if you miss chicanes with that low springs and drive over them you have damage so you need to be careful

 

[SavreticD]

Forgot to say I did learn few things from that video,for example I never thinking about front rebound like that.I was driving most of the time with faster front rebound and never throught what he said,on braking and when you release brake slower settings(lower number) will not let front end to lift fast so weight stays in front longer.So if after brake release your front wash out slower rebound should help with that.At least I understand like that.Btw I like that guy very much,he is funny

Hey guys I am really really sorry to throw in so late but wifey has surprised me with a trip away next weekend on Saturday for my birthday. I would have loved to drive the Ferrari in the race it looks incredible! Will be on for practicing with you all week but we are headed out on Saturday for a night away and don't think I can juggle the race too. Sorry for the late notice again.

I totally second that request And, of course, everyone on B2O is invited to the Party at the Lake House!!! But, please, no thongs (unless on your feet)

i'm just gonna quickly say i'm sorry for not showing up on PP. But i've been ill for the past days and haven't had any decent sleep in 48 hours. i've also kinda lost my voice, but some might consider that a good thing

Without doubt i'll practice loads on my own with the new GTE cars once they come out but i'll try to make it to wednesday PP.

 

[SavreticD]

When cars get out and we decided what car will you please post here when is practice?Thank you!
