1962 RAC Tourist Trophy [Sept. 23rd]

According to my dad, the Jag-E's suck

At least it isn't as interesting as the Aston.

Ok, I would like to take #25 Ferrari please!

Thanks!

My neighbor had one about the age of these. I have broken wrench turning knuckles to reinforce your Dad's opinion. That car was a piece of $%^+. Sure did look good though.


Alban, is that you racing online as gulf83? You will need to change your online name to your full name.

Not sure if I'm reading this right... the race will be 100 laps?

Yes

Ok.

Yesterday I was looking at the lap times and crunching the numbers... (hmmmm... 1m36s x 100 laps = 9600s = 160 min = 2h40m!...)

It has been a long time since I entered such a long race... looking forward to start!

Any tips on fuel and tyres?

Since my HDD fail I have lost everything, so I will have to download again rFactor, HGT and everything else. I hope that I will be able to do it in time to practice enough for the race, as I am feeling right now very frustrated but I'd like to provisionally reserve a car, a GTO or an Aston Martin, whichever is easier to drive. Since I can't test the car, I let the admin who organizes the race choose it for me, I trust your judgement on it

Here is an interesting set of notes from Sir. Stirling Moss about the track: http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/tracks/goodwood.html

Yes this circuit seems simple but in fact it is very technical with lots of bends double apex

Add to this the tires are razor blade thin and hard as rocks and driving here is more like piloting a small boat in heavy winds!

As far as tire wear, I put the nose up against a wall and floored it until the engine blew. The rear tires made it to near 400F and showed no wear. I think I was spinning them for 3 or 4 minutes.

Hmmm is the admin still debating which car to assign me?

Make it one of the remaining GTOs, please ...

Sorry there's no "chose one car for me" option, you have to pick a number

Alberto this is what the remaining cars look like (Ferraris only):

9: Primer white - el plain-o blanco!
19: Red with skinny white/blue stripe
24: Lite blue, thick white stripe
29: Green with yellow nose
58: Red (now how can you go wrong with a red Ferrari???)
86: Black, white top
106: Red, huge prancing horse on sides. My pick of what is left.



108: Red - Argentina flag and "Argentina" on nose
132 Red/White nose.

OK I'll follow Mike's recommendation then and pick the discreet #106 Because as everybody knows, red cars are faster

I just tested the Ferrari and Aston Martin .. I found i was much quicker in the GTO but god that DB4 sounds good ...

Pour une fois que les E.T. ont choisis les plus difficiles à conduire, on ne va pas se plaindre...

Mes 1eres impressions, j'ai du mal à voir les points de cordes et ma Jag est joueuse mais alors tres tres joueuse

Pour tenir 100 tours il va au moins lui falloir un camion de pneus

Salut,
la Ferrari n°19 pour moi svp

veillez annuler mon inscription, je ne serai pas des votre, une autre fois surement et bonne course

Is there anybody who will drive with that "full " settings reccomened by HistoriX team? I mean with that shifter mod when it is needed to use clutch properly and with 900°seering wheel range?
