1970 Watkins Glen 6 Hours [05/02/2012]

Malheureusement forfait pour cette course evenement

Je suis désolé pour mes coequipiers Alberto et Gianluca mais je serai en déplacement du 30 janvier au 6 fevrier

Il vous faudra juste prendre un peu plus de relais mais je sais que je peux compter sur vous

Sad to hear Patrick

We can have another driver join, or we can try to do it ourselves, as Gianluca prefers

hey les coéquipiers , ca serait cool si un de vous avez deja dégrossi un petit set pour la Porsche 917K .

je n' arrive pas a régler la boite soit je suis au limiteur dans la 2 eme ligne droite soit elle est beaucoup trop longue , si quelqu un peut me donner ses valeurs de boite ce serait vraiment sympa , merci

Pourrait-on considérer d'enlever la botte de foin à droite de la piste dans les Esses qui suivent la ligne de départ?

C'est dure comme du beton et un contact avec cette botte est très probable à terminer une course immédiatement. De plus, les Esses sont un endroit ou une perdition entrainant un contact avec la ditte botte est tous sauf improbable.

Ce serait peut-être mieux de prévoir un grand bac à sable la qui fait perdre du temps mais ne termine pas pour autant la course. Après tout c'est une course de 6 heures.

Qu'en pensez-vous?

hello !!

if you want , i can run with you !!!

When i see the lap times in the fastest lap cahrt, i get goosebumps.



surely its my first try, but you are so fast.

how can you race 1:03 ?

What i found out was, that the tire preussre was too high, the center had 8C more than the in and outside.

can you tell me what is the best tire Tempreature?

the pressure front is down to 14x kPa already then the tire temps are quite equal. like 100 102 104.

i managed to adjust the camber, the pressure a bit. but what is the RIGHT pressure? so that you have the inside a bit hotter ?

i adjusted kingpin, springs and toe. but 50 minutes was not enough time for a very very new mod

haha.

so my time is over. now i want to see who wants to join me or if i should save my money.

btw my laptime was 1:05.2 all the time. with 51 liters of fuel in that lola car.


PS:
in the TEAM assignement thread i asked some questions because the post i made was for the team, but also mixed with questions, maybe you have a look at page 8

1:05 is a great time and 1:03 is incredible but its a 6 hour race so laptime is not that important

Being consistant is more important

@Jean Luis and Jens:

We would sure be glad to race with any of you, but you can also consider forming a team yourselves. Whatever you prefer guys Also, the race being so hard for us slower guys, I think that if you don't find a better ride, or if you simply prefer it, we could do a 4 men team and drive 1,5 hours stints each. I speak german so I can communicate well with Jens via Teamspeak when it's time to turn the car to the next driver

Nice, sir Ibanez. From where are you ?

I recognize Ibanez as a mexican name (played Football manager in the past in mexico, Monterrey).


I really wonder how fast the cars are and what laptimes are possible with the lola t70 or what was the name and the faster cars.

what car is the 1.03 done with ? (no i wont take it because i know that i have to stick with my car).


i think it is forbidden to be more than 3 drivers.


do we share the same setup or can we use our own setup after a driver change ?

Ha ha, no not Mexican, but of course many people have similar family names in latinamerica for obvious reasons. Actually my full name is Alberto Manuel Ibáñez Bartual, and as it stands in in my profile, I'm from Valencia, Spain, though I have german ancestry via my mother's family. Ibañez and many other names ended in "ez" mean "son of", and as such my name would translate to german as "Hansen" and to english as "Johnson".

But never mind the genealogic thing and to answer your questions:

I don't know what car the fastest lap was made with, but there are big differences between the ones available.

Uh, probably so, I have not re-read the rules.

AFAIK the game supports setup change when teh drivers switches.

I'm afraid it doesn't - you have to share the same setup between the drivers of a same car.

that is great, because else we could "cheat".

thanks for all the enlightening, son of Iban.

The night of the long knives (rally monte carlo). does any one know where from that slogan is derived ? (off topic).


and: is tehre a chart about the pace of the cars ?

I think I read somewhere it can actually be set by the server. For realism it shouldn't be allowed, of course.

cherche un pilote parlant Français ( c'est mieux pour TS) pour faire équipe avec moi sur une Lola !!

Please:

I have been searching my a55 off in rfactor rank ... etc.

But the Glen HSO track isnt there, even if it isnt: i could pick the one that is the original for our pit stall cahnged Track.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW: Where can i find the laptimes of our cars to the Track?



Thank you.

Have you tried the the hotlaps link in the first post ?

Yeah taht is what i already said.

when i talked about the laptimes.

but there are no cars shown. its a black box.
"custom"

Yeh its a bug we know, but drivers are using the cars they booked for the race so you can guess who's driving what.

The times were from december that is why i thought it would be different

OK now i know THX

Hi guys,

i think it fits best in this forum/thread:


is it possible that there is a "bug" in the mod ?

I had had the standard setup and the inner temp of each tire was 7 C or so above the outsides.

when i realeased all pressure (works in any race sim) there was still +7C or so.

even if only 5, at minimum pressure there should never have been such a difference. i know taht rfactor can be modded with MANY parameters and maybe also with "tire convex-ness) to gain some physical / sim effects.

can you tell me if that is true and (if not or if yes) what shall be the ideal pressure hot. i had 100C after 3 laps or so maybe thats a good temperature (cause one cant go much slower).

of course you adjust the cold pressure to achieve the hot pressure. what temps does the rubber work best ?

Ok i have just done a one hour stint on the server and to my surprise it went fine, there was quite no tire degradation at all. thx for that.


now my teammates want to see if i am qualified to be a consistent racer. at when ychequered came up i wanted to save the latimes. all of them.

i neither found a button to save replay nor to save all the laps. any ideas?

right clicking my name in MONITOR gave me all my laptimes, but my spotter told me them anyways. but no way to save them.

Q: is there a autosave for replay so i would at least have gotten the replay

thant wouldve been nice

Usually replays get saved to the Replay Fridge, and if not, there should at least be your fastest lap. If not, there should be an autosave feature that you can select so that it will save the entire replay.

thx will have a look and maybe find a way to extract all laptimes.


what tire pressures do you use ?
