Sim Racers 4 Life - T290 Season - Round 5 - Mosport

[Harri Mac]

It can also be that race start moments are the problem, or perhaps if just one car near you on track temporarily has bad ping then crazy things happen, but I think that's always been the case.

I seem to get this problem a lot. In the 2nd race yesterday I didn't dare get near the group in front of me at the race start as they were behaving very oddly, hanging back and shooting forward and sort of flickering as though the graphics card was having a moment. I was worried I'd get caught up in some sort of lag problem. I've had this at other times too. After the race at Zandvoort (bad crash for me) I watched the replay video and saw myself being sandwiched between 2 other drivers, car sort of merging with them, I don't even think they were aware I was there but that was it, I popped out, was spun and hit multiple times ended up as the back marker. They carried on as though nothing had happened.

I refer to it as a lag bubble as there is this sort of bubble of strangeness that accompanies the driver with the higher ping. It's that or the matrix has me.

Poop.

The T70 is a good looking car. If someone could provide me with some information about how fast it is lapping in Nordschleife VLN..... (just a range of times). I will only have time today to take a screenshot and prepare the announcement, no time to get on the wheel.

I see server is running the Autumn version of the Tourist layout. Maybe have Autumn for the fun race then Summer layout for T290 just an idea.

Hope Rik and Rob problem was just a one off fingers crossed.

Which version will we be racing? VLN, Tourist, 24h

I'd go for VLN or 24h to get a propper pit area and to have the "pit-trick" to avoid doing a full outlap in qualifying.

I've just tested the car a single lap in the VLN version. Such a beast to tame... 3 laps will be more than enough for both races.

[DJCruicky]

Pit trick works in Tourist too. Drive through right hand gate and timer starts at bridge.

[Paul Swire]

What ever you decide Gorka. I will put a server up to match.

[gorgias1976]

I'll go for the 24h version.

We'll avoid the risks of incidents at the small pit area of the tourist version and we'll also avoid the first 4 corners of the VLN version which are so slow that are quite uncomfortable to drive in this car.

[Hedlund]

Yes we should avoid Tourist version now when we actually have the complete track available. We aren't tourists anymore :p
