200 Millas de Buenos Aires - Voitures disponibles || Available cars

No soucis Armand --> 20 points de pénalité en DTM ! Je déconne. Merci de prévenir .

Well,

After much practice I find myself off the pace by at least 15 seconds fast lap and more like 20 seconds average lap.

I am also finding it very difficult to establish anything like consistency.

These things happen when you get to be my age... <sigh>

Therefore I must withdraw my entry in this race and offer up the car to someone who can drive her.

I'll be watching from the sidelines with pride and chagrin.

Best of luck.

Norm

Thats a shame as you where driving the GT40
Did u think of trying one of the other cars ...

You might find you will be quicker in something else
im also struggling with the consistency thing ,
practice practice practice ....

I've also big issues with consistency. Still don't really love the track and it's not helping. THE big trouble is now the chicane after the straight. I'm loosing sometimes one to two second a lap there. And I don't understand why. I was tabling on a 2.04.xx in race. Well don't think so as my last trials were more around 2.06.x with some laps in 2.04.x. The worse part of race will be the middle of the run. There the car changes entirely his behaviour and start becoming almost undrivable in fast corners. Those cars are perhaps for someone too easy to master (sure that's not a well done as Cart or Endurance) but's on a long run they are quite tricky and changing. For what it's matter as nobody will ever do a 1970 Sports Car Championship reanactement (the Targa Florio don't even exist as a track)

salut!
je confirme ma porsche (merci de me l'avoir pré-reservé!)

en ce moment les entrainements/course en kart sont important et nombreux (l'été oblige...en décembre sa sera plus dur)



Martini International Racing Team
#35 Gijs van Lennep : Cédric Elan

Salut! I would like to reserve the car (Martini International Racing Team) #02 Porsche 908/02 Flunder Rudi Lins. I will be racing under the name of Ellis Oxley

Welcome Ellis . Rudi Lins' Porsche is yours .

Only 9 cars left it would be nice if someone took on a GT40
it will be nice to race against a Varied field of cars ....

Im very curious to see which will be the best car ,over the course of
a 2 hour race ...

The 917 will win. They are faster than any others. The 908 could have won this...but the race is ten kilometers too long. For this distance the 908 must do a refuelling. Any the test I've done said so. The first to refuel will be the 917, then Alfa and Matra, then Ferrari and Lola and finally the 908. Everyone will have to do at least one refuel. I'm not sure a two refuel strategy will be a good idea. The pits stop takes more or less twenty seconds...a bit long I think. But who knows?

As for a GT40, Carl, well this car is really a mess. Even Guillaume couldn't beat me on Matra with this car (at least I hope so )

Also beware of collisions between cars. Even a scratch on the body from a car collision could alter the behaviour of the car. Better hit a fence than hit or be hit by another car with this mod. I've also note a tendancy for the Alfa to blow quite easily their engine if push a bit to hard...same thing for the Matra also..you've been warned

Wow thx Ludo you must have put some serious laps in with this mod
so all i have to do to get the Alfa to the finishline
is coast around the track like i normally do that sounds like a plan .....

You make the Alfa sound like an accident waiting to happen ,thats it im on a mission
i want the Alfa to see the chequered flag ...

I don't know that it matters but you could contact motorfx and see if he could whip you up a modification for the track without the Ascari Chicane, I did a few laps just blowing through there and the course is a bit more fun with these cars.

Would not be a lot of work BTW, move some cones, modify track texture a little, new AIW.

Edit It would be historically accurate that way too. The Ascari Chicane didn't get added until 1972.

Salut tous,


je viens de découvrir votre site et forum hier soir ... tard. Néanmoins, l'impression fut telle que je voudrais, si possible, participer à la course de Buenos Aires ce dimanche. Je commence l'entrainement as we speak.

S'il n'y a pas d'objections, j'aimerais conduire la Porsche 908 de Mr Helmut Marko.

Petit mot d'intro sur moi même:

J'aime bien le fait que le site semble être bilingue Anglo-Frenchie. Je ne maitrise parfaitement aucune de ces deux langues mais j'arrive en général à m'exprimer assez bien dans le deux. Ma langue maternelle est le Néerlandais, ou le Flamand pour ceux qui ne sont pas top fan des Bataves 8) , mais ayant vécu toute ma vie en region Bruxelloise et ayant grandi avec "Chips" et les "Dukes of Hazard" sur la télé en version originale soustitrée, la langue de Voltaire ainsi que celle de Shakespear ne me sont pas étranges. Fauudra néanmoins faire avec les fautes d'ortographes et des constructions de phrase par fois un peu ... étrange.

En matière de sim voitures, j'ai commencé la simulation online en 2004, d'abord avec les mods pour F1C (PCC et Cup Alfa 147) pour puis tomber amoureux de ce petit bijou qui s'apelle GPL, avec laquelle j'ai participer à plussieurs saisons chez la VRL (league flamande) et chez GB Simracing, tant avec le mod 67 que le mod 65, ainsi que quelques courses en 66 et 69. Entretemps, chez la VRL, j'ai également fais plussieurs courses avec rFactor, entre autres avec le mod V8 et avec des GT's.

Je ne suis pas des plus rapides avec un Rank GPL 67 d'environ +20, mais j'arrive en général à terminé mais courses. En GPL par exemple, mon objectif était toujours de terminer des courses sans le magique shift-R.

En général, c'est les sims et mods dites "historiques" qui me passione le plus, raison pour laquelle j'aimerais participer à quelques courses dans votre league, si OK pour vous.

A+

Timo

Bienvenue parmi nous Timo !

Tu devrais trouver ton bonheur içi entre les nombreuses séries rFactor et le championnat GPL, fais ton choix et amuse toi bien

Bravo pour ton excellent français je ne pensais pas que les flamands parlaient aussi bien le français ! Belgium United yeah

PS : J'ai édité ton nom forum en enlevant le tiret et en rajoutant les Majuscules, penses-y si tu dois te relogger

Well Carl the Alfa 33/3 was a car with trouble in 1970. It has a powerful engine but it was a fragile one. The drivers more than often blew it up. It also lack of developments (the Alfa team wasn't very efficient in car management). The first year of the car (appeared in 1969) was rife with mechanical problems and fabrication defects (causing the death of Lucien Bianchi at Le Mans). So 1970 was indeed a season of running in for the car which get ready only at the very last part of the season. During that time the car was plagued by many engines problems (camshaft, oil pressure, blown engines). The car was only fully ready for 1971 (winning at Brands Hatch, Targa Florio and Watkins Glen).

Bienvenue Timo, très sympa ta présentation

Merci pour la voiture. Pas tous les jours qu'on reçoit une Porsche ... Et merci pour l'enlevement de l'underscore dans mon nom. Ca fait plus jolie certes.

Timo

Bienvenue Timo

Hmm, I'm not convinced of that. According to my testing, consumption is just above 2 l per lap for the 908. To be on the safe side, with no pit sheduled, I would need 130 l whereas I can only take 120 l. However, the 130 is with a safety cushion, so 120 l may just work... even if very very just and with the risk of having to go for a splash & dash in the last laps. Then again, splash & dashes are typical for (North) American racing-series and after all we will be in (South) America, so what the heck ...

I tested with full tanks and hard compound tyres last night and was less then a second off my best lap on softs with 65 l on board. Changing tyres costs 40 sec. Still have to test whether fuel is added together with the tyres or whether refueling costs extra time. In the latter case, trying a no pitter becomes a strong option... And even without extra time for refuelling, I'm thinking about it.

Timo

Finalement, je dois renoncer. un imprévu ...

Ce sera pour une autre fois

Je pense que si vous voulez bien de moi, je vais me laisser tenter par l'aventure

Je suis néophyte sur rFactor et je vais profiter de cette course pour me lancer dans le grand bain maintenant que j'ai un PC qui veut bien accepter une autre simu que GPL

La Porsche 908/02 n°45 du team Martini étant libre, je suis preneur

je compte être des vôtres dès ce soir si je ne rencontre pas trop de probleme pour joindre le serveur
Je fonce m'entrainer

Cool Pat . Hésite pas si tu as des questions, fouille sur le forum aussi y'a des topics avec des tips, comme celui-là .

Héhé bienvenue sur rFactor Pat
