We look forward to seeing the Team names and Livery that comes with them.

RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - Tygernoot - 26-11-2019
Had a good first few laps yesterday. Despite the track's graphics looking from 79 as well, it's great to drive
Are we OK to use the full runoff area out of turn 3? Seems impossible not to use it, nor to ensure everyone always drives with one wheel on track there. Careful though, it's a bit slippery!
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - deecee52 - 26-11-2019
The real drivers used the runoff so we should be OK , i just wish we had that kerb to high light track to grass

Agree Ed, graphics are not that great and it is fun to drive, there is going to be some great racing. The maker of the track got it right with the curbs though, you can see on the video that DC posted that in no way would you consider even touch some of these.
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - Tygernoot - 27-11-2019
Antti asked this in the other thread as well... no templates to make custom skins? :/
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - J-P SImard - 28-11-2019
I too would take a template and if you have a tutorial, I'm interested.
With the number of Williams that we will be, I believe that custom paints will be welcome.
Thank you
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - bullwinkle - 28-11-2019
I can do skins for anyone if needed. no templates I know of
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - Tygernoot - 28-11-2019
It seems these races will come down to tyre management. I don't know if anyone has tried to do a race simulation yet, but I couldn't even manage to make it to the first stop yet lol
The hard tyres are plain terrible. They don't wear, but after a few laps they start to heat up and they immediately lose all grip.
The soft tyres wear a lot, but keep more grip outside the operating window, as long as you don't overcook them too much either. After a few laps I had a few small slides and the tyres started to heat up. Over 100+ degrees they become terrible and it takes a lot of effort to cool them down again. You really have to tip-toe around the track, otherwise you will no doubt encounter a bigger slide. That is when they really light up (140+ degrees) and you just lose all grip.
So beware! It's worth putting effort in the race setup over qualifying, because a few slides and you're in the pits for new tyres
I am putting Antti on the case to figure out some setup magic to make the tyres last longer :p
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - gorgias1976 - 29-11-2019
We have no templates, but we have the dds files you can use as a template for painting. I think I posted somewhere in the forum.
Here they are -> http://www.mediafire.com/file/iqobi15jp354i13/1979_PAINT_DDS.rar/file
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - Navigator - 29-11-2019
What is your trick, guys, for the second part of the long fast right-hander?
I can't see the tarmac from the grass.......
Need to have a good line there to carry speed and to be fast all corner long, but loosing heaps of time there.
Also; setup is very difficult and makes it worse.
Any pointers?
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - sdancourt - 29-11-2019
kind of intuition & fortune teller...ja ja ja, really hard to catch proper line in "Curvón del fondo" as is named there.
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - Tygernoot - 29-11-2019
It’s a bit tricky but after some laps you should be able to get it right? Now that there’s some rubber on the track you can also follow the line.
I don’t get it right every time either, but worst case you scrub a bit of speed or give the steering a nudge to point the nose deeper into the corner.
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - deecee52 - 29-11-2019
Get level with marshal post on right count 123 start turn in , once rubber is down there is a line to follow , its a pity the track creator didnt include the kerb that is shown there on the video it would help a lot as there is not enough contrast between track and grass colouring.
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - sdancourt - 29-11-2019
Many thanks Deecee
RE: Sim Racers 4 Life – F1 1979 - Round 1 – Argentina - Navigator - 29-11-2019
Thanks for the advise guys; I will have a go at it again!
