SR4L F2 Fun Race League Rnd 8 Snetterton

[~IsR~ Jason]

Yeah, I'm with Vittorio on this one. Although I DO know why. Changing cars whenever you like doesn't seem right!

Aren't we racing 5x fuel as in previous races? With the new historic cars version tire wear model driving heavier could make things more interesting.

I always thought there was an agreement that either selecting the F2B or F2 for all races. But reading again the "Winged spark" discussion, there wasn't. Anyway, my stubbornness forces me to stick with the F2 (and I don't know why).

We didnt ALL have an agreement in this, but I accept the agreement between us two at least.

Anyway Bryans contract with Spark is still valid, so I must follow (I dont like wings look anyway).

Lets test it tonight. We had unrealistic tyre wear previously so x fuel was a way of forcing the stop, now it's second nature to stop once. If the tyres are wearing faster we won't need to worry about fuel multiplying. The quickest stop now being for tyres only, you can start with fuel to the end if you like and save a some time in the pits. I'm sure most would know that already

Now you destroyed my last excuse for the (unlikely) case you win the F2 season

(Btw. as a reminder. I have to win the F2 season so we need a decision in the F1 season)

we need a decision in the F1 season)

when we go to F1, Ill be having the full wings Eve, the difference from the other cars is very big.

Guys, something I'm not sure about. Is this round at Snetterton, Monza banking or both? If both, how does that work?

On Sunday we are racing at Snetterton and after 2 weeks we go to Monza if that is what you are asking Jason.

Beautiful, thanks bud. Snetterton's just down the road from me so I'll get there early and get the beers in!

hehe I suppose when we fly up when we hit each other you see us from your windows

[~IsR~ Jason]

I'll look out for you Nikos. Private jet?

I need to know if we're going with the new updated Historics on Sunday. The feel of the cars is a bit different, I hope we're using the updated but need to know for practice purposes.
If we are, would you guys be so kind as to make a vmod please when you have time? The current one uses the old physics.

Thanks

edit - My post sounds a bit demanding! Sorry, didn't mean it to!

[1959nikos]

look at shoutbox Jason, thats all I know.
I bet we will be having more solid info soon.

[~IsR~ Jason]

Thanks again Nikos. I had to google Shoutbox. Never heard that expression before! Is that the list of new posts at the bottom of the SR4L Home page with the 'Last topics' header?

[1959nikos]

At Home page (first page when you enter here), upside, under SR4L Live Server Status, extreme right, there is Shoutbox.
If you dont see it, just press arrow which should be pointing downwards.

[Fergy]

We'll have the new vmod up and running asap

[Fergy]

Snetterton is now on server 1

[~IsR~ Jason]

Thanks mate.

[Lecram]

Thanks

First feelings with the new tire model in the Eve:
- Front tires locked up more easily at brakings.
- Car felt more slippery at mid curve (at least in this track).
- Car felt a little more radical when losing rear traction during acceleration.

As a result, laptimes were significantly slower.

I think this is a very poor upgrade, ISI seem to put more emphasis on eye candy rather than getting the dynamics sorted so you can have good racing , these cars were never like this in real life you only have to watch historic racing to see that , if it wasnt for the great community we have here at SR4L i think I would have dropped this sim and moved on
