We clearly need more iCON cars!

Something completely different:

Does anyone have a nice setup to share? :b I don't want to crawl again with super-low speed

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

14-3 here, but 3 more rear wing has quite a big diference

My guess is that there was a lot more wrong than just the downforce. If you want to have a laugh - try it. I've attached it (1:39.19 being the best).

It's also possible that my driving was just awful - who knows

The penalty on the XFR was probably too high. As can be seen, there was almost no advantage in the top-speed department

Quote from Rikje :

how much downforce were you running then?

I remember it to be 14/6. However grip wasn't really good with that one to be honest.

The combo didn't work for me. I was under the impression that everyone else was doing about 3 - 5 km/h more on the straights than I did. The best part was, when I was at the edge of one's slipstream and he then just pulled away.

So either my setup was really awful or I was racing with more intake-restriction than anyone else - I'm in favor of the first one.

The qualification was surprisingly good (my first pole in a million years). The race was rather bad. Apparently the fuel caused the car to become really sluggish which pretty much only allow mid to low 34's. And at the end the tires seemed to be a bit squishy (even though they never went over 85°).

Too bad there weren't many people there - it might've been fun. Generally - with a little more tweaking it could be an interesting league on its own.

Hey Tim

Try this one. It's possible to do mid 1:33's with 17 kg ballast. You might want to adjust tire pressure and brake balance (I'd reduce the braking power and the balance to the back to not heat up the tires too much in the hairpin). Good luck

Quote from CSF :

I know the set I am running can go into the mid 32s... but can I get there?

Send it to me and I'll test it for you!

I'm running high 33's with ballast in a XFR. Probably wrong car but I'm not really faster in the UFR either most probably due to my horrible setup. Any setups?

Happy Birthday Jack! (Yeah, I know I'm late. But I have a good excuse - a man in a white coat asking questions why I don't feel too good ).

Is it me or is the provided XFR setup just the hard-track setup with a wrong restriction (43 instead of 44%)?

It also somehow seems to me that the UFR is pretty tough on the front tires. I manage to do mid 1:34's but then the tires are a bit toasty.

I'm missing one 'highest climber' in the statistics. In the points-table it's correctly applied.

Does anyone have a setup for this? :b

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

I'm very sorry for that. This connexion sucked a lot more than excepted. Everything was OK so far, so that was a real surprise to have so much problems during the race.

Yeah - a real shame. It might've been very interesting especially with everyone struggling on the tires.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Oh, and what was weird is that this incident was a remake of the round 5 of the last season : same place, same push, same consequences.

Haha - you're right! Although last time it was entirely my fault - not lag.

The first race didn't go so well for me. I was pushed out by Yann's lag and found myself in 9th position. I managed to get back to 6th and was pushed out once again and was greeted with 9th once more. I was pretty surprised that I made 5th in the end.

The second race was better. I really liked the fight with Simon - even though it only lasted two laps. Looking back at Season 2 I guess I'm only really good in longer TBO races. Where's the 40 - 60 minute TBO championships?

Quote from zeugnimod :

I guess you will drive circles around the other drivers in the beginner's class after your great drive in GTAL.

According to the rules he should be put into NDRC since his traveled distance exceeds the maximum distance allowed to be put into LFSBC. This also goes by the way for some other drivers who were participating in the first round as 'beginners' and were pretty fast. No offence guys: But if you know you have traveled more than the maximum distance AND drive fast why not just sign up for the NDRC? Give the beginner's a chance to win something.

The race was similar to the one last LFSBC season for me. I fell down to last place after hitting Tim (sorry again - I just couldn't handle the car after Friday's UF1 session) and then had to battle to the front. The SC was definitely too fast - it took me almost two laps to catch up and then I overtook one car before the starting line (although it was really close - LFS reports a difference of 0.00 seconds).

Let's see if round 2 is better.

Quote from felplacerad :

Thank GOD for iCON racing! (xvid, ~4MiB)

I think we should get bonus points for that!

P.S.: Are hybrid-tires on the front wheels so much better than normal tires on FE4? I realize I was the only one of the top five using normal on front. Oh the possibilities! :spin:

Updated with a BL hotlap.

I had some very nice battles at the beginning. For some reason my team mate didn't turn up so I had to finish it up (I think Tobi owes me a beer!).
