ACC ACC season 01 rnd 7 **SPA 2.4hr** Jan 6th 2020

If you had a setup that worked before the update, I'd say don't throw it away. In the Fezz I had a bunch of oversteer. After a session of tweaking, I found the fundamentals are still there, but you need to tweak it for the new physics. Softening rear / lowering front bump (cheers @ Captain Barracuda for the tips), generally lowering damps, raising ride and adjusting toe to account for increased rear roll seemed to bring the car back into what I remember. I was getting through Eau Rouge ok (mostly ).

Heaps of tweaking to do though.

The Porsches were never great at Spa, then in hot conditions it struggles even more. There may be something to find in setup and a few laps but I thought the changes felt nice. Even if the car isnt particularly strong at that track it was better over curbs and was able to push it a bit in some sections. The low speed was a fair bit worse and it really lacked top speed so not a great way to go around a track lol.

Welcome to my world.

You guys have nothing to complain about!!!!

@SteveDrivingSlowly - My fear materialised today. I unplugged the Fanatec PSU to tidy some wires and now it's gone dormant again. I wonder if it will fire up again like last time..

No green light mate and no voltage on the multimeter all afternoon however it just came good again so this time im not bloody unplugging this thing. I dont know if this is a coincidence or not however just like yesterday I plugged another smaller 24v PSU into a wall socket on the other side of my house and when I do I got this tiny spark which doesn't always happen however twice when I did get it from that point on when I plug my fanatec PSU back into my voltage regulator in my pc room all is fine again. I wonder if there is some sort of grounding issue going on that this PSU goes into safe mode. The wall sockets in my house are the older two prong type so I dont believe they have a ground or have I misunderstood that.. Jaycar, dunno mate, maybe in Manila which i am not near. Things are a little different here, not like back home where you can pop out and get your hands on what you want.. I am a little bit paranoid because my last two fanatec wheel bases have fried themselves through no fault of my own and i would hate for anything to fry this one as Ill be up for 1500 shipping back and forth between the US as fanatec don't service or ship here... And then I might have to deal with dodgy customs trying to steel my goods again and wanting 2k to release them. I just leave it alone for now and think happy thoughts.. ive had enough stress this week with everything that's going on up here..

uh oh, sounds like it might have a fault mate...worth talking to support about it at least I’d say

True mate, best to let them know in case of any BS later on.. Funny thing is the PSU is made in China. It probably would be easier and cheaper if I just bought a new one direct from the manufacture rather than sending mine back to the US on a warranty claim. I bet I can't though..

Thanks Neil, everything has settled down the last day or so.. I plan to upgrade the voltage regulator to a UPS. Just doing my homework on which one to buy..

How did dynamic weather go on Wednesday?

It was dry, all the ROOZ servers except the static league qualifier and hotlap servers are running dynamic weather. If anyone runs these they can report on how the weather goes and maybe even get some race practice in traffic.

Maybe 1 mandatory stop for brakes? (to replicate the mandatory long service in the real 24hr) The extra time will give drivers who are doing the whole 2.4hrs themself a chance to make a pitstop of their own

By the look of it everyone is doing the race on their own atm, reports in official forums show the same issues in current build with no tyre compound changes. Also nobody has wanted to test driver swaps with no replies in the driver swap test thread as yet. I don't think we can force a mandatory stop for brakes, but Id also rather people run the full distance on one set of brakes or take the long stop penalty if they want to run very aggressive brakes. If you want to race like a real racer just let it go mid race, maybe put a plastic cover over your seat before the race.

Hahahahah

Is the 25sec minimum fuel time enforced for this round?
