And that just shows the race where I had the issue? It's a bug when you start from pitlane it seems that the car handles more like junk than usual.

The times I was doing offline before jumping into that were 1.14's on race fuel.

Quote from NitroNitrous :I stopped trying when I realised that in order to improve my time I had to drive in a very weird and unrealistic way.... Finished 133rd (was 86th when I did my PB a week ago). So many Italian players!!

Which is said, because it basically renders GT obsolete, the reason people enter is to have a shot at the seat, not because the game is a fundamentally decent driving tool.

In iRacing a death could be simulated quite easily by driving leisurely and then randomly losing control...


Just drove the radical, felt shit, but drive able in practice, and warmup, but in the race someone said I was blinking, so I started from pit road, and WTF the car handled like shit, the balance of the car was completely ****ed. Seriously...

Quote from Klouczech :Has anyone pass the first round of the GT Academy 2013?

I passed due to low quality of drivers from Czech republic.
I'm not fast too

I think IMOL did, not sure though.

After Vettel said that on the radio, on Danish TV John Nielsen said "oh there's Vettel being a cry-baby again".

John Nielsen... what a legend.

Quote from Bmxtwins :It has a consistent swaying feel for the suspension but it feels predictable and natural.

Have you ever driven a car?

A constant swaying feel is most certainly NOT natural behaviour.

Quote from Storm_Cloud : people subliminally take a few tenths off his lap time because he falls over when he's drunk and says funny things on the radio.

Whilst this IS true, he is one of the fastest guys on the grid for sure. Out of teh current bunch I'm pretty sure he still holds the most lap records.

If that's the case, Hulkenberg/Di Resta + Kobayashi?

Quote from Mustafur :The Arrows did soo well because the Bridgestone Tyre advantage over Goodyear there was massive, Hill did do quite well in qualifying but in the end he was gifted the hope of winning when Frenzen had to retire.

Look at Qualy, two seconds faster than Diniz [OK not exactly something to shout about] but also miles quicker than anyone else on the Bridgestone tyre.

If the bridgestone advantage was so big, why did only Hill benefit from it? :S


There's no official mention of teh Bridgestone tyre being a better tyre anywhere I've looked, 1997 was their first season in F1 and they were still developing the tyre properly, only the teams with no money bothered to get a deal with them, because it was obviously cheaper than running with Goodyear.

Quote from XCNuse : Also take note of every setup in LFS. Pretty much slammed to the ground (or rather... low as possible until you hit the ground). In the real world, it doesn't work like that at all. On some suspension models it may work, but to make full use of it still requires specific parts such as roll angle adjusters, which are real parts that are really made.

.

I can't dispute what you're saying here about the MacPherson stuff, because quite frankly I don't have a counter-argument or full understanding no that but what I will dispute is that a low ride-height isn't realistic.

For a road/ish car the lower the better, you'd only want to raise the ride-height for aerodynamic purposes other than extreme bottoming out. Essentially you lower it to the point in which is grinds something sufficiently like I said, the only time you'd raise a ride-height against the general rule would be to aid a rear diffuser or such via increased underbody air-flow.

I assume you're referring to the lower the ride-height the less movement in the suspension itself but if this wasn't realstic for setups then F1 wouldn't be using the tyre for the majority of the suspension dynamic.


EDIT : I see that you're suggesting the physical limitations of actually running a Mac P strut stops you from running it below x ride-height.

In which case.... Ignore everything I just said.

Quote from CSF :Not really, in Boutsen's case the Williams was a good chassis, but Renault were still developing the engine, and in Hill's case the chassis was improving and the Bridgestone's were the tyre to have that weekend. Always been a weird track the Hungaroring.

Look at Hills results, he only got into the points on one other occasion.

Look at Boutsen's result at Hungaroring, finishing a fraction ahead of Ayrton Senna but still 30seconds or whatever up the road from Patrese. The car was decent, but the McLaren was still the car to be in, in 1990.

As for Hill, the Arrows was an out-of-the-points car, but Hill wheeled it at Hungaroring because he gels with the track.

Hungaroring is a drivers circuit, you don't need to be in the best car to win there, regardless of the weather conditions, as opposed to Monza or Spa where if the track is anything but pissing it down, you need the car under you to win.

That is the definition of a drivers circuit is it not?

Quote from CSF :When has Hungary ever been regarded as a driver circuit?

Because a driver can make the difference, A la Damon Hill in the Arrows or even Thierry Boutsen, you spend most your time in a corner, so Aerodynamic ability isn't the fore of this track because a bigger portion than usual of the on track advantage comes from mechanical grip and being smooth.

Surely you'd know this, Herr Schumacher himself has said that the difference at the Hungaroring is driver ability.

Looking through stats, seems like Hungary is the only current F1 circuit Vettel hasn't won at. Funny that, because Hungary is regarded as a driver circuit.

Quote from vipex123 :Which is strange since JEV beat him once again in Hungary.

I think JEV is a bit of a wild card though, we saw his rage ram on Kovalainen I think it was a Valencia last year he's quick as hell and definately knows how to setup a car, but I don't know, I think Ricciardo is the kind of guy you can rely on, I don't think JEV would follow team-orders too well.. mind you, neither does Vettel..

Quote from XCNuse : I touched LFS a few times the past few months only to discover.... LFS doesn't calculate suspension geometry one bit which is rather depressing.

Anyways, I probably haven't shown much pictures in the past year so here's the

[

Please explain because the suspension geometry affecting setup parameters on LFS is one of the best things about it. I can't think of a game that does it as well as LFS does but that's the reason I ask you to explain because I don't think I'm understanding what you mean.

I think everyone wants to be in the RB, but in all honesty, with the massive rules overhaul next year, I don't think changing around to find a better team is the thing to do, if you're already in one of the top 5 teams.

Well the biggest believable rumour I've heard is that Kimi couldn't be convinced to leave Lotus which in my mind suggests he wanted equal/number 1 status and they wouldn't give him that.

The other rumour is that Riccardo is pretty much set for the RB seat.
