After few laps 1.20.1xx but i never drive it before in iRacing. Curbs are very high and surface is slippery similar like Twin Motegi.

At the moment I haven't got good setup yet. I take mine from Suzuka and heavily modified it. But it's far from good. Car has tendency to snap :S

Sorry. I took my son to basketball game and come back few minutes ago. I didn't expect it would take so long. Right now i'm too tired to race. Sorry again. By the way your time is 2 sec faster that i have done yesterday with race fuel .

Might not make it after all, so much to do. Sad

Subject: Re: Zolder 2012 Season 3 Mon Oct 15, 2012 10:28 am

Done some laps with modified base setup from Nico. With race fuel 1.18.066 if i reminded correct. It's hard track and it's really hard to be consistent. Cyril has good pace to, he was quicker few 0.01 sec . So far best lap i've seen 1.17.4xx but i guess until end of the week that will be more than second to slow for pole in SOF.

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

1:17.827

with mistakes

done for today !

Subject: Re: Zolder 2012 Season 3 Wed Oct 17, 2012 10:34 am

I still cannot drive under 1.18.060 with race fuel no mather wich setup I take. I guess this will end with another bad weekend :S

P.S. : Juho i decrease rear ARB to 1 and i think car is more stable now.

Hmm, I am not supposed to have any rear ARB at all in it. =) I would think that the ARB number does not matter if the diameter is "none". I'm not sure though if you found it helpful. Shocked

According to article here http://www.bustawrench.com/iracing/iracing-dallara-indycar-setup-guide-road it's true what you said, but only for front end ... But think set ARB to 1 makes car rear more stable.

i can't do better then 1:18.3 with race fuel.

but i wasn't driving well today, lot of mistakes... did a race, slightly touched a wall in lap 3, P5 -> last P11.

i had one lap behind everybody... i almost stopped !
it was a good idea to continue, i finished 6th, better then 11th ;-)

to bad i had this accident soon because i had the pace of the 3rd ...

Yeah I'm not sure about that. That guide is so old that the settings seem to be somewhat different at least regarding ARB. But I did some changes to my setup and it is much more stable now, I will upload it to the setup section in a second.

Good job nevertheless! One way of measuring if the race was a success is by comparing your rank before the race to the spot you finished. You were ranked 8th and you finished 6th. So you did well and gained some iRating too!

Good job Cyril. My advice is never stop racing if your car is not damaged to much. You can get some nice points till the end of the race, and your iRating drops less if you finish the race instead of leaving it Wink
