Race '07 Challenge time-trail challenge!

[iain187]

lets use the fast caterhams then

 

[Ja5on]

sounds good, which donny layout?

 

[Darren S]

I prefer the shorter one, tbh - the one with the small kink just prior to the pit straight. Can't remember what its called.

Should we try a few different motors on there? As much as I like the Honda WTCC 2007, we should try a few different ones.

[Ja5on]

caterham 320 it is. ians choice

 

[iain187]

i had a little go with the 320 yesterday, and when you put your foot down on the long straight before the dunlop bridge there is a horrible bump in the road that tends to flick the car violently to the left, i found i had to be brave and hope the car sticks, instead of adjusting it on the exit haha

 

[Darren S]

The top Caterham is insane. It's really difficult to use on the 'Ring as there are a few sections where the nose gets airbourne!

Anyone tried that visor adjustment mod? Looks a lot better than the original, imo...

[iain187]

hehe it's fun, the caterham lifts up on the bump under the actual bridge on donny too.


I'll defo be trying that visor mod, I can't stand visor views- your field of view doesnt get that restricted in a real helmet!!

 

[Ja5on]

1.12.6

really crapp lap

 

[iain187]

i was thinking this car is really easy to drive, but then i realised i was in the 200 (I did a 1.14)

into the 11's with the 320 but i think there was a lot of room for improvement.

 

[Ja5on]

tonnes or room you mean lol, you touching the setup at all?

 

[iain187]

nah, i dunno what im doing when it comes to all that.

i hope i can get it to be 1.10.xxx

 

[Ja5on]

lol

 

[Darren S]

Pics, gentlemen.....

D.

 

[Ja5on]

1.11.612. still a bit to come

I reckon we should do a road car one

 

[iain187]

 

[Ja5on]

gutted.

 

[iain187]

i fraps it too but it's a 2.5 gb file, i havent got anything to compress it at the mo

 

[Ja5on]

using a pad or wheel+pedals?

 

[iain187]

wheels and pedals, the microsoft sidewinder ones

 

[Ja5on]

whats the next challenge then????

 

[Ja5on]

1.11.4

I can go 0.6 quicker in the first sector but then lose it again in the second on.

Im using a pad

 

[Darren S]

If we all do the Time Attack mode - we can email each other's ghost cars to set the pace.

D.

 

[Ja5on]

sounds like a plan.

Id say.... Formula BMW monza

 

[Darren S]

That's perhaps THE most frustrating time I've had on GTR Evo! Locked brakes at the slightest touch - front end too light - oversteering like mad in 5th! Need I go on?!

D.

 

[Ja5on]

had a look at the time attack how the fcuk do people get some of the times!!!!

D.

ooooo i didn't know you could do that, what folder are they kept in?

sounds like a plan.

Id say.... Formula BMW monza

ill do one for that...

 

[iain187]

Formula BMW - Monza - 1:59:648

 

[Ja5on]

im a second off

 

[Andy.]

I'm 10 seconds off! Is this the Monza 07 track?

 

[Darren S]

Andy - have you tried the CSR320 on Donny yet?

D.

 

[iain187]

I'm 10 seconds off! Is this the Monza 07 track?

yup.

i think i did a right skid in to turn 1 on that ghost lap, seemed to have worked out well though


I might try the middle CSR on donny, the 200 was really easy to place it on every apex perfectly (because it was slow)

I reckon the middle one might be able to get a bit closer to the 320 because the 320 is so hard to drive smoothly

 

[Darren S]

Damn right. If this is any reflection on real-life Caterhams - you can stick your 320's :rasp:

Just too much power for the light chassis to handle, imo.

D.

 

[Darren S]

By the way. Is anyone using the racing line function? I might try it - just to see how far I am off!

D.

 

[iain187]

no but if following the AI in free practice is anything to go by, you will have no hope on donnny (might be because its a add on track though)

 

[iain187]

1:11:436 in the 260, it's not bad!
