Looks like a good series Glynn. I hope some of the boys get on board. Too early for me. Those up for some laps later, the server has been updated. Be another half hour or so, not long home.
@glynn I've copied your post to the thread you started, it's still a sticky topic. http://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/asrnz-league-season-2.1679/
Hey guys, had good fun in the trusty old Merc on Monday night.Tricky bastard that Paul, took me a while to get him sussed out. Couldn't catch Steve in the first race and then spun and dropped back to third behind Sun Levi I think it was. Second race I managed to break away from the main pack and avoid some spin outs ahead of me to grab my first race win! Looking forward to the next one, hopefully this new update will drop soon with some new toys to play with. @Anon666 here is a link to the admin app i mentioned that night, pretty handy little thing, not sure how to setup the track rotation system but there are some instructions with the download. http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/admin-tools-0-6.22159/
OK lads. Hopefully there will be some keen drivers tomorrow night. I am out at a birthday dinner for a mate...I know, Monday?? He's lucky he's a good mate. Anyway Drift is going to run this little event - GT's again, but a bit more of a spread. Short races and mix up the cars, have some fun. Try and figure out which cars are quicker/slower, that would be great.
BTW new server and teamspeak - server can be found by searching raceonoz and ts password is Apex, address is ts3.streamlineservers.net:10036. Get on it.
So I was drinking beer last night instead of racing, did you guys figure out anything with regards the speeds of the different cars?? Is there much difference?? And @Cherno did you find that linky link to the spreadsheet thing you were talking about??
Really enjoyed the racing last night. Both BMW were quick and very easy to drive. The corvette once setup correctly was on the pace and might even be the fastest in the right hands. Only other car I've driven was the ugly Merc. Felt great with good power, sharp front end on turn in but just could not get the power down coming out of corners, was about 2 sec a lap slower for me. The Nissan appear quick but from past experience know you need to be skilled to handle the engine's power characteristics
with a downloaded setup my fastest lap was done in the r35 gtr and with almost default setup my next fastest car was the bmw gt3 everythign else i tred i was 3-4sec slower but haven't tried any good setups
Thanks @Mael. I tried a few of the cars the other night at Valle and found minimal difference. I am going to test something else out on Thursday night. Download this track if you have time: http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/tor-poznań.6118/
As the other guys have said it was great fun, especially with the variation in strengths and weaknesses of the multi make grid. I only drove the Nissan GT3 and the BMW Z4 GT3. For me the Nissan was about 1s per lap quicker but was much harder to hold it together. Top speed and braking distance were strengths, getting grip through long apex's and getting the power transfer to the road on the way out was hard. Where the Z4 was a breeze, fast through the esses, and the power delivery so smooth.
I have only tried the 458 gt2 and the z4 gt3. The Ferrari was a bit less than a second faster. It also seemed like Fargon Z, Cherno, and I on the gt2s could stay on top of most (with me being the slower of the three, as expected), so I'd say the 1 second result could be a general one.
I f@#king loved the Fezza around here, best car imo by far. The Z4 was close for times, but it was a bit too stable.
Really struggled last night with the BMW and H-shifter. The engine felt gutless and worse was stuttering at higher revs. Anything above 5000 rpm the tacho needle would go crazy! with other cars just flying past me I tried everything from changing turbo boost settings, shifting early/late extreme tire pressures but nothing worked. Then just before the end of the night realized.... My left foot was resting on the clutch pedal.
i was about to say i have to set deadzone for my clutch cause mine was doing the same then seen the rest of your post lol
Ha, I had a similar thing in Superkart racing a few years back. Kept telling the mechanic that the clutch was slipping. After changing the clutch plaates & playing with adjustment settings we realised that it was actually the high g-forces causing my leg to push against the clutch lever (Hand clutch system) and that was the problem.
