Do any of you have a setup for sebring already ?

I'd like to start discover that track.

Nope, not yet. Maybe you should try Nico's setup from iRacing forum for a start.

I ran a few laps last night and put together a decent baseline setup. It probably has a little too much DF and it tends to get looser later in a run as the fuel burns off, but it should at least give you something to start with if you want to practice and/or make your own tweaks.

Setup and a replay of my PB lap from last night with about 1/2 tank of fuel:

I did a 1:43.4 earlier in the day when I was doing race practice offline. My family called during the hosted session so I didn't really get to run too many laps. I think I might be able to get into the 1:42s with a qualifying setup Smile

Not sure if I'll be able to race on Wednesday, might wait til the SOF on Friday. Depends on how much of my dissertation I get done.

Subject: Re: Sebring 2012 Season 3 Mon Oct 01, 2012 9:37 pm

I don't know what has changed but this track seams to be more bumpy than it was last season.
As I see yesterday i will need more practice to drive more consistency . Scott, your fastest lap yesterday was with race fuel ?

I will not race before Friday for sure .

I was doing mainly qualifying practice last night, fastest lap was 1:43.3 I think. I'm going to be disappointed if I don't break into the 1:42s this week, my optimal is a 1:42.6 if I could string an entire lap together. Race pace looks to be high 1:44s with full fuel, dropping down to mid/high 1:43s once the fuel burns off.

i'm still too far from you :-( my best was 1:44.9 yesterday and my optimal 1.43.5.

That's still better than I managed last season Wink

If you want to send me some telemetry I can take a look and try to point out areas for improvement

Posts : 104 Points : 120 Join date : 2012-09-24

can you give me you email ?
do you use ispeed ?
it's the only telemetry i have

Posts : 150 Points : 164 Join date : 2012-08-26

I use ATLAS mainly, but I do have ispeed as well (I just haven't bothered learning it yet). E-mail is biggie6354@googlemail.com

Posts : 104 Points : 120 Join date : 2012-09-24

if you go on ispeed you should be able to see my lap file online.

Subject: Re: Sebring 2012 Season 3 Tue Oct 02, 2012 4:03 am

Cyril belive me iRacing telemetry is far better than iSpeed. Wink

But i'm still noob at Atlas but I'm learning slowly to use it.
My race pace with full tank of fuel is like Scott said it should be (1.44.6xx) but i struggle with low fuel. Today i will try to simulate race pace and when i have consistent laps i will try qualify pace. Maybe i'm wrong but i belive that overtaking here should be easier than it was on Twin Motegi so qualifying is not so important as it was on previous race weekend.

ok i will try Atlas that i don't know yet.

See you later on track !! My goal today will be under 1:44.5 !

I don't know about that, the only real overtaking spots I can think of are into T7 and T10. The track is narrow enough there that it shouldn't be too difficult to defend, but maybe I'm wrong.

Subject: Re: Sebring 2012 Season 3 Wed Oct 03, 2012 5:42 am

Anyone gonna race tonight? Not sure myself. Only started practicing today but my Motegi setup feels good here, just did some changes to the gears.

So I might join the race after all.
