You do know set is already different hahaha I'm testing something

As long as you finalize it before tomorrow night so I can do at least a stint in it, it should be fine

Hehe will try.Im traying to get a bit more top speed + lest chance for bottoming on curbs but minus is less front-end bite.Will see

 

[Brainling]

I must not be taking the curbs as aggressively as you are. I drove my normal line for both my stints last night and didn't incur any repairs either time, and I am definitely using curbs in some spots.

@Noodleguitar Can you extrapolate enough data from partial stints from my Le Mans series races?

Yeah, I think that should be close enough.

 

[Noodleguitar]

Could one of the Porsche RSR drivers tell me how long it takes for a full pit stop? I assume taking tires adds no extra time on top of fuel?

 

[Noodleguitar]

I have added fuel charts for the HPD #000 and Porsche #101 (is everyone okay with running this car number by the way?) to the schedule.

For the LMP1, we're doing a whopping 35-36 stints, which probably means we have to do triple stints (2h driving time). That is annoying though, because we are double stinting the tires.

Is it possible to hand over a car with stint old tires or does the driver change take too long? If we can do that, it'd save some time and receiving driver would only get stint old tires couple of times.

Even before that. I can't practice in afternoon, as I said, so unless you post it in next 8 hours (it's midnight EST, 6am your time), I will be practicing with the last posted setup.

Yes, tyres ads no time. I think someone said yesterday 32.x seconds? Our Daytona chart shows 33.1 seconds for the Ferrari. I'm guessing their pit times have to be similar.

The RSR setup is the strangest I've ever seen. It's running MAXIMUM downforce and insane rake. It now makes sense why the dampers were flipped and the diff on coast is so open. It's trying to undo the max downforce in cornering. Amazingly, it works really well, especially in the porsche curves. It seems to be losing a few tenths on the long straight, but it's making it up in spades in the corners. I've never seen anything like this before. What a crazy set. ....just don't lift while in corner!

From the time you park the car to the time you pull out appears to be only 35.6 seconds, that includes fuel and tires. I will test it again tonight, but that is what it took on Wednesday. I put that number in the schedule. I wasn't sure what the second measure required for pit lane length so haven't filled that in, that's why it is still red.

So should we change the Rear HS Compression back to 9 from 2 or leave it at 2, doesn't seem to make a huge difference, so probably fine at 2.

HS dampers are for curbs and bumps. Shouldn't affect balance otherwise.

No. If anything, the Low speed rebound would be the one to lower in an attempt to not lose grip under nose dive whe the rear lightens.
I don't really have an issue there. My only issue is lift oversteer, but that's caused by the massive rake as the car is under load and the way the chasis is setup.

I sitll can't get over how this setup works at LeMans, but I guess you learn new things every day.

@Kenadian @incndry Are we still using setup V5?

I heard something about Porsche being broken that way, can someone shed some light?

 

[Noodleguitar]

I've made schedule for the LMP1 team, could you guys give it a look? Denis can't do the start of the race and Christian can't do past ~02:00 so we had to work around that.

Triple stinting is off the table, because not only will the next guy get old tires, we lose 6 seconds during driving swaps if we do it without taking tires.

 

[Noodleguitar]

Made a minor adjustment to the LMP1 schedule.

Also added the fuel schedule for #78

Nope, avoid v5 because it's f00ties setup and it's shit. It's so shitty it actually drops shit on the track while racing which is why it's so unstable.

f00ty is a great guy, love him dearly, but fuck is he ever bad at setups.
