90's DTM- FINISHED

[Knelly]

Thanks Pagey, let me know how you get on 👍

 

[Pagey279]

I

HHHHHAAAAAATTTTTEEEEEEE

EIGER!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the worst track ever designed....ever, a proper pile of 🤬

You do one lap where you get no oversteer, the next lap you drive it exactly the same and the back end goes even when you aren't on the gas. It's utterly ridiculous and I loath it

 

[berty1979]

I am with you on that one but we must endure

 

[Spurgy 777]

It takes about 3 laps for your tyres to warm up properly, my first laps have always been over a second off the pace

 

[berty1979]

It doesnt seem like anyone is a fan of Eiger but that will change when someone wins there on wed

 

[worduphomes]

Any Calibra drivers got a good tune for Eiger?

This race might be decided by luck

 

[berty1979]

Sorry not here, I have just done a couple of basics.

 

[Spurgy 777]

I can give you a greeeaaat tune wordup, honest

 

[berty1979]

yeah, LSD 60/60/60 front and back, top speed 300 mph, -10 -10 on the ride height and 200kg of ballast helps

 

[Spurgy 777]

No, you need to go higher on the top speed than that, and dont forget to drop the power by 50%, take the turbos off, put comfort hard tyres on, switch all driving aids off, then put everything in the suspension settings to a random number

 

[berty1979]

I wonder if Wordup will fall for your dastardly plans

 

[worduphomes]

Thanks Spurgy, I'll defo give that a go LOL! 👍

 

[berty1979]

I would advise against it

 

[Spurgy 777]

Trust me Wordup, would I ever lie to you? You coming on in a bit Brett for DTM practice?

 

[berty1979]

I was and I did and we finished and here I am

 

[Spurgy 777]

Did we? All I can remember is going round a horrible track tyring to keep up, and then going round an even worse track trying to stay ahead Also leant that you cant wallride flat out at the last corner of eiger

 

[berty1979]

I am fairly confident at autumn ring now, god knows about eiger though

 

[RayRoocroft]

holy crap its this evening and i havent practised since i posted my times, argh! id best get on it after 5pm lol.

although i can achieve 1.03 on either, thats not taking into account the tyre degradation, so its going to be interesting to see how the fronts holds up due to the amount of sudden sharp corners and the odd long sweeping bend on eiger.

 

[Pagey279]

At least you've had some practice, I haven't had a single lap around autumn ring, and about 5 at eiger

 

[berty1979]

This is how it should be! In the early days of rugby practising was considered 'unsporting' by the posh English teams
I have had 5 laps at AR (not bad) and I think 10 laps at Eiger (awful)

 

[Pagey279]

Phew I've cracked it, 1.03.1 on eiger, and mid teens on Autumn, this may not be as bad as I thought

Oh and this is a warning for the race at Autumn ring, it is very tempting to cut the corners here, and you can gain a lot of time.
There will be a certain amount of leniency BUT if you cut corners numerous times every lap the likely hood is you will be disqualified.
It will be stewarded fairly rigorously, also if you gain a place by cutting a corner you will be expected to give it back. Failure to do so will warrant penalties.

Two wheels on the track at all times! (Includes kerbs)

 

[berty1979]

^^^ Well said Pagey

 

[Spurgy 777]

At Eiger Im banking on you all crashing.. Because Im nice like that At Autumn Ring I will be happy with anything higher than 5th. And you can cut the across the kerbs quite a bit without being illegal, its because theyre so pointy, you dont really gain much time from it though tbh unless you cut it completely

 

[berty1979]

Yeah you can legally 'trim' the corners off as long as 2 wheels are on the kerb/track so I would advise eveyone to use it wisely and not take the mick and start rallying over the grass

 

[Spurgy 777]

Yes, and if your still confused about it just go and watch the BTCC, they do it pretty well

 

[Pagey279]

Aren't they allowed 4 wheels off the track 3 times in the race before they get penalties?

 

[Spurgy 777]

Probably something like that, but they all count the kerbs as just extended bits of track thats why its so exciting

 

[Pagey279]

It's pretty awesome, i might have to make a trip to Thruxton this year

 

[Spurgy 777]

Oh no, thats just up the road from my kart track, youre slowing tracking me down!

 

[Pagey279]

Then after i could pop down to your kart track and give you a race
