Did a few more BR1 Pics. I just had too much spare time at work today.

Lines into the corners will have the largest impact on how the setup handles. At least till the new update comes out.

Thanks man.

Soon as I get home I'll upload it.

Had some time to kill and did a skin for the new BR1. NOT FINALIZED

Quote from rAcEr2418 :

SORRY, great job BDSHAN!! our bad, just when we thought nmanley was the most consistent of any driver in the event!! Will change that right now though

HEY, I was the most consistent(ly) LUCKY!!!!


Welcome Jethro.

BTW .. Brian "bdshan" got the 3rd place on the KY oval race (ROUND 3). I was 7th. Great job Brian.

Nice event report Senna. Congrats to you and the Eagles for their contribution to the event.
It was a good time for most involed. I will say that it will be my last week night event as time kept us from doing Lag lap restarts and our replays show that we had drivers completely out of some events because of that.

Man .. you guys rock on the open wheel stuff.


HAPPY Birthday Red and Happy Easter to all.

Quote from Primoz :

Bob i had R3s in front in a 10 lap race at Kyoto long and i just abrely made it through. I would not have made another lap I have to mention that i was using Flotch's setup though

You can't take ANY setup from a hot lap and get 10 laps with it unless you drive a smooth 10 sec a laps slower pace. Torque split, camber, tire pressures, track bar ... etc .. all that will need tweaking to get an endurance setup.

Quote from LRB_Aly :

Well if you take a look at my ESL race at Westhill 3 weeks ago, you can see that fast
means something around 1:33-1:35 in race (R2's, 18 laps per stint but I'm working to get 19-20 laps out of it). (But btw this was a bad race for me with much car problems) And of course I'm not talking about the real pro's that can do 1:32's -1:31's in race.

Now the big unknown is the new patch, if it comes out before the race the setups eventually need some reworking if not even to be built up from scratch.
And also the strategy will probably need reworking, as far as we know tyre physics are gonna be updated to counter the low grip issue. But how about tyre wear, we don't know.
If this is gonna be changed then it would perhaps lead to the result that you have to put an harder compound for the race, which also means that setups need to be adjusted to that.

Ahh yes the new tire update. That will be interesting.
I've tweeked some more and I can run R3's on back and R2's on front and maintain high 1:38's on 50% fuel load. I have not ran 18 or 20 laps yet as I find my concentration is shit ater 8pm.
I can clearly see that the correct line will be more important to lap times than the perfict setup but it will take both to make the tires last.

Thanks for the comments.

Alain, What are you considering fast times for NON qualifier setups. I've seen the WR's replays and your FZR and FXR Hot Laps. (Very impressive)

I'm comfortable at 1:39 to 1:40 on the FZR for a long run with a best of 1:37 on 50% fuel load hot lap. Just looking for an idea of how much to scare my self in looking for more speed. Pretty scared already on the 1:37's

Thanks fella's. Took the day off from work and all but I didn't even put the wheel put on my desk all day.

I did buy a bunch of service parts for my riding lawnmower so the wife can keep the grass cut.

Happy Birthday RF.

The Drift event sure can be a stumbling block for this team. We have 12 members and none that I know of that drift.illepall

Now MARSH2a, You know that you and I both DRIFT all over (and OFF) the track when we're trying to catch the leaders. :leb:

WOW, They're joining faster than Marsh can keep up!

Welcome New guys!

I setup the server "[LOTF] Practise 5" up and running. It is setup for the big three GTR cars on FE green@10 laps. I'm new to this so if you have problems send me an email or PM.

I hate to say it but some professor had to wait 5 mili-seconds longer than he thought he should so they did that to slow down online BF2 players.

Seriously, I don't know what the heck I'm talking about but a friendly bump of the post so someone might help you.

Quote from Theafro :

Audi R10 drivers Allan McNish, Rinaldo Capello, and Tom Kristensen brought home the first ever win for a diesel engined car in a sports car event, at the sebring 12 hours.

Audi are looking good for yet another win a Le-mans this season, and although i'm not an Audi fan, I've got to give it to 'em - the boys did well!

I'm just wondering how long it'll be before we start seeing diesel F1 cars

I saw several hours of the race and the TDI was VERY impressive. From the telecast I learned that the car has a very narrow power band compared to the R8 but very large amounts of torque. It is also so quiet that the driver cannot hear the engine after third gear speeds. When the car left the pits the quiet sound was very nice and mellow.
I would imagine it is much more fun to drive than the 11,000LB Mack Truck I recently sold.

Quote from Z06Vette :

...and I'd like to be the second member of "The Land of The Free" to second MARSH2a's wishes

Happy Birthday guys!

I'll third that! CONgrats CoRe.

HeerBommel, I enjoyed being on the track with you. I look forward to more good racing in the future.

Quote from MARSH2a :

Soon half the team will be from SW Ohio.

Does that make you Yankies? Or just almost Yankies.

Quote from banshee56 :

Hey neighbor!! I'm in Convington, KY. Where in Cincy are you?? (Sorry for thread jacking, but I gotta talk to my neighbors; it wouldn't be polite not to!)

EDIT: Holy Crap!! I didn't even notice that Marsh2a is from Union, Oh!! I was just up there (well, in Englewood anyway) two weekends ago! I'm originally from Arcanum! Woot, SW Ohio peeps in da house!!

I wouldn't brag about being close to them!

Quote from nfsjunkie91 :

If I ever get S2 (and my racing skills get a bit better) I'll look into this team.

Just get S2 as the skills are optionable. It's all about having fun.

Welcome and look forward to seeing you online. I hate it when the net is messed up at my house. :doh:

Quote from Z06Vette :

Ouch!! Now that hurts! That's going to leave a mark!!

<The Ancient one>

A mark! On skin like cow hide? Sorry couldn't resist.
