VLN Setup for Ferrari

[Deb]

@Brainling, @Kenadian, this is the setup I have been practicing with. It is our Bathurst setup but I changed the gearing to FIA instead of IMSA short. Seems to be pretty stable.

 

[Kenadian]

Thanks @Deb. I'll be on tonight trying for an FFS.

I was able to get down to the 7:58s last night on this setup, still a couple seconds off my AMG time, but I am still finding time as I adjust to the Ferrari. This is a six hour race this time, the only one in the series, so we can be flexible on who drives when and how much.

 

[Brainling]

Did you and Ken decide on a set last night? Can one of you post it here if so? Otherwise I'll be around tonight to grab it.

 

[Deb]

We have one but still may be a work in progress. I will post when I get on my computer this afternoon.

 

[Kenadian]

I'll be on tonight as well.

The setup @Deb likes has some weird settings to it trying to neutralize the snap oversteer. I've numbed it down a bit without drastically impacting understeer but have a few more things to try to make it a bit more stable.

@Kenadian have you tried wing 6?

 

[Deb]

Here is the last one that @Kenadian was working on.

@Kenadian have you tried wing 6?

lol

...thought about it but I think it only goes to 5.

 

[Deb]

@Brainling, @Kenadian - the race starts at 10:00 est, 9:00 central, 7:00 pacific. There should be a 15 minute warm-up. Splits are set by qualifying. There is one fast repair.

 

[Brainling]

Cool. I just barely have to wake up early than, that's cool.

 

[Deb]

Great race yesterday @Kenadian, @Brainling So cool working our way up from 39th to finish at 15th Hope we get to do more of these!!!

 

[Anson Bennette]

Nice result guys. Well done

 

[Brainling]

Sorry for my early hardware issues. My first couple bobbles were definitely not helped by the fact that I was so far "behind" reality in my headset. I was a good 3-4 frames behind what reality was, which makes controlling a car at Nurburgring...interesting.

I made some performance tweaks, but unfortunately it's really hard to test for that specific condition (e.g. Nurbugring with a full split of cars). Performance was always fine in practice, and remains fine...but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'll do some official races this week to see if my frame rate holds. I may have to go back to 90hz refresh for iRacing, because the cost of my frame rate bouncing up and down is really high. Makes driving very hard.

 

[Kenadian]

No worries @Brainling, hardware issues happen. I don't think it really cost us all that much in the end anyway because, as you stated in the first stint, things could have gone far worse.

Honestly, I re-watched the first stint and remain surprised we even made it out alive.

For my part, I felt really strong on Saturday. This is one of the few Endurance Races where I was pushing pretty much the entire time lol.

My spin and bobbles were resultant of me thinking I was Superman when in fact I'm the Joker.

Thanks for letting me drive with you @Deb and @Brainling.

The moment where I almost pooped myself. I didn't see the Mazda in front of this Merc until the Merc jumped out. It doesn't look as dramatic on this clip as it did from the drivers seat. I had to react very quick, and not spin the car out in doing it.

 

[Kenadian]

Reminds me of this...

Yes, I was just thinking this! I couldn't remember the exact incident, but I knew you had a similar situation.
