Hi there!

The next round is at the (i think so) best known circuit in LFS: BLACKWOOD GP. I am sure everyone of us started his LFS career here

Here is the place you can discuss this round, keep it clean

what times are you guys currently driving? Splits?

High 23s and v high 52s/low 53s [or is it high 53s and low 54s ] then mid 13s for the lap. Will hopefully get close to the 12s before the race

Really looking forward to this - my tyres will last the race yay!

Good, you won't cause chaos with a blowout this time!

CTRA record replay for this track

Yea, this is gonna be an exciting race

1:13.2x so far - but my setup is too slow on the straight (231 km/h compared to the 238 km/h in the CTRA record).

It was wind btw, i am getting 1.12.5s (23.57, 52.49) with race set/fuel.

Got bored so started to do some hottlaping, did 2 laps on the fly best was 1.12.47 but if i combined all my best sectors (23.36, 28.88, 20.07) i could of done 1.12.27 but who care's.

I try to do some some practice even though obviously I never race - I can't even get close to that

I think we've managed to create a series that only serves to make me feel more hopeless at driving than I already felt.

Still, sounds like you'll be right at the front with pace like that

Damn, your 1st split is pretty sick rc10racer! Best I've done was 23.49 :-/

Abit better shame on the first split being so poo.

That explains a lot

I did a 1:12.75 with 23.53, 52.52 splits - I guess that's not enough for the shootout.

Almost into the 11s, 1:12.01! I didn't realise how much gearing could affect the balance of the car.

1:14.11 with 30 kg ballast, I'm sure I can find another two seconds on that main straight, but I'm too scared to change downforce values (grip is a big issue for me).

i'm using 13/1 wings if that helps

I did a bit of testing, and for me, I ran at 12/1 wings, but then decided I was stopping LFS for the day, . Doesnt really matter though cos i'm not even competing

without ballast, 1:12.86 on the first run. Setup needs dem tweeks. 23,74 and 52.53 splits, judging by the splits posted here, lost 0,3 s due to understeer

Binned my old setup and started again.

Got a 1.12.71 [23.6;53.7]

I hope to get a low 1.12 by quali. At least I havn't got to go through the shootouts

And ma race set is nice too - get low 1.13s

As always, looking forward to race day!

Unfortunatly I cant make this race. I will be working. Sorry.

Thank you for letting us know.
See you at round 4

Not sure if I will make it or not.. Will be quite tight getting back for Reserve shootout as I am away all weekend 2hours from my house, and I am not leaving for home until 2-2.30 pm so... hmmm not sure. Hope to make it...

Using 95% FWD drive helped a lot with my consistency, but now I can barely hit 1:14.

Right... I found the car to handle quite well with 37%
